Mine was the same.

US Switches have virtually identical packaging, except they have some quick start and warranty information printed on the inside of the box itself, while these have blue Spanish-first warranty pamphlets pertaining to the Latin America region inserted in the box instead.

My copy of Let's Go Eevee is European.
I must have been lucky. My copy of Let's Go Eevee and DKTF is ESBR.

Smartpost more like stupidpost like wtf lol. Been in my state since Saturday night. Probably like 15 minutes from me. But each day it just keeps updating saying in transit in Phoenix az. My delivery date is 12/11 like why do I have to wait another week when it's in my area already! So dumb lol

Same here only got Let's Go Eevee though. Pretty sure they're Mexican copies. Even says USA on the game cart.

Would have been annoyed with the different packaging with the EU version lol.
The smash games that will be mailed out Friday will likely be Mexican copies despite them saying on SD it's "English copies". Just hope that we won't get EUR copies instead

I got shipping confirmation and they took money out of my account but USPS still hasn't updated their tracking since I got it. Hopefully I get it sooner than later.

Found this on the SlickDeals forum about the deal, this person's label is from Miami but I'm sure it applies to us NJ label people as well:

My USPS label was printed on the 28th and originating out of Miami. No "in transit" status as of today and after asking dailysteals over the weekend they replied with the message below so for those with the same print date give it a few more days.



"There has been a delay shipping out this lot of items because of the demand.
You should see tracking update no later than Friday.
Please write back if you don't see any movement by this point.
Please feel free to write back if you have any additional questions.
Thanks again and have a great day."

Looks like we'll wait it out

Question: How ass is the Switch's default storage? I plan to mainly buy physical copies of games. Should I still invest in an SD card?

So my Switch is with FedEx smartpost with an updated delivery from 12/11 to now 12/7. That means FedEx themselves will be delivering, correct?

I hope they don't keep the package until Friday just because, that would be lame. Hopefully it comes in tomorrow.

If I plan to use the internal storage of Switch and later get an SD card, would it be easy to transfer the data to the new card?

My November 26th order "shipped" like 5 days ago, yet has been stuck at Pre-shipment since.

It's now later in the day than when USPS usually delivers packages in my block. Tracking updated this morning for my pro controller saying it will be delivered on Dec 4 but never updated to say it was out for delivery. Still says in transit to next facility lol.

At this point I want the Switch and controller to arrive to get it over with rather than so I can actually use them.

Received mine today! Even if it's the Latin American version I can't even tell the difference of the box from the one I got from Best Buy back at launch.

Just got a dualshock 4 from them today it is a Latin america version. If the Smash bros game is the Mexican version does that mess with the purchase of future DLC? I need to be able to buy Banjo when he is released.

Just a heads up guys. Tomorrow is a day of mourning so USPS won't be doing regular deliveries.

why do you think they are Mexican copies?
Based on reading SD and here that their PS4 and Xbox games being Mexican copies. Would make sense they also get Mexican copies for switch too. That and I think NA is in the same region hence why it's rated by esrb and says USA on the chart.

Edit: And haven't read the product descriptions but apparently on PS4/Xbox games they state they are Mexican copies but play in English. For some reason they haven't added that disclaimer on switch games or even mention you could get a Euro copy.

My shipping said the same thing. Expected delivery today but not out for delivery. 15 minutes ago my USPS tracking page updated the delivery date to Thursday.

Argh! The doorbell rang and it was a solicitor.

I'm guessing this will happen to me too unless it comes in the next few minutes.


I really don't care what day it comes as long as it comes before Smash (I got the deal for Smash as well so that ships on the 7th....or so Daily Steals says). The problem is the lack of accurate information. Did my Switch actually ship or not? What day will they actually come? It's annoying having to look out for a delivery if I don't know when it's coming.

In my experience unless USPS specifically says Out for Delivery, it's likely waiting in a different car or sitting in the local mail office to be delivered Thursday despite what the delivery day says on the tracking.

If it shows at your local USPS office, you could've gone in this morning and rang the doorbell on the side to have one of the sorters give you the package if it never went in a delivery car. I used that to get a package of mine that showed delivery day on x day, was in the office, but never made it Out for Delivery.

Damn was hopin u got urs today since ours traveled together
Lmfaoo at least yours made it today 😭
I guess the whole route was just too messy.
To leave new jersey then make it to my post office before delivery guy went on his route was probably unlikely.
It arrived in my neighborhood at 2:45, usually the mail guy passes by my house at 2-3.

Mine arrived today, box looks brand spanking new.

Nice job Facebook... I won't forget you down the line when I'm looking for deals.
