Dwlr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think it's a very convenient option for me considering I can't drive and have no way of actually getting there. Plus, I don't think it's worth travelling far just to get one thing. Does US Walmart ship to Canada? Even if they did, I'd probably have to pay some sort of shipping fine which is never fun. I don't think so, but to some it'd be worth it especially if they could drive themselves. I mean if you lived right on the border it wouldn't have to have been a long trip. You could try calling the US Walmart and seeing if they'd be willing to do, I know I've gotten a few things from Canadian stores before I just had to pay an additional shipping charge for international delivery, so it might not be as cheap, but it'll definitely be cheaper than scalpers. You'd need a passport these days to enter the US anyway, I didn't check your profile if your age is displayed there, before making the suggestion. Toronto is fairly close to New York IMO.

carefreejules Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the help everyone! But I think I'll bet all my luck on the Serenes Forest Scribble Contest since I don't really like having to call or I don't want to jump through so many hoops just to get it hee hee.

LorisaGoldfish Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ah the joys of preordering from Canada. I keep checking EB Games hoping they'll restock since Gamestop did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REL Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ah the joys of preordering from Canada. I keep checking EB Games hoping they'll restock since Gamestop did. Wait. Did Gamestop actually restock, or are you talking about the glitch that led to them taking preorders after they had already sold out?

Dwlr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Wait. Did Gamestop actually restock, or are you talking about the glitch that led to them taking preorders after they had already sold out? According to my Gamestop they're getting additional games, but they're not going to put them up to pre-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing your submission. According to my Gamestop they're getting additional games, but they're not going to put them up to pre-order. Interesting.

Anomalocaris Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Sigh... Woke up late today, didn't even see that a restock happened until long after it sold out. Why does fate not want me to have Fates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFantasm Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 According to my Gamestop they're getting additional games, but they're not going to put them up to pre-order. Not surprised. With the issues they had with them the first time, they probably don't want a repeat of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomalocaris Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Additional games, but not up for pre-order? How does that work? ...Does that mean I could potentially go into the store on the 19th and just buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffPuff Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 This might just be a place holder but I figured it be best to share it right now anyways. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fire-Emblem-Fates-Special-Edition-Nintendo-3DS/49550428 No luck since they can't ship it to my address.

Zerosabers Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) No luck since they can't ship it to my address. You may want to try calling in if you can.

PuffPuff Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) 1 (800) 966-6546 Call this number and tell a representative that you need help with the order. Darn it!

REL Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Keep trying. It seems to be going in and out of stock as they keep trying to deal with technical problems on their site. Also, don't give up after one call to the call center. The first person I tried wasn't willing to help, but the second time I called they did. So don't give up and good luck!

Zerosabers Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Woops, I think we crashed the site. Ignore most of the out of stock and other errors and just keep trying! Edited February 2, 2016 by Zerosabers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffPuff Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It just disappeared from the directory. It is gone! Getting it in March...I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REL Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Woops, I think we crashed the site. Ignore most of the out of stock and other errors and just keep trying! Yeah. When I click on your link it just takes me to a technical difficulties page rather than to the item. Not surprised by the heavy traffic, I pulled up the thread on the Fire Emblem reddit, and it's a whirlwind of emotions. Also, I'm pretty sure I could hear other representatives saying "Fire Emblem" in the background when I made my calls. I think the fanbase has made up the majority of calls to Walmart's Customer Care today. I also think part of the struggle is that Walmart is actually trying to make sure they don't oversell their preorders. I'm sure they don't want to have their name dragged through the mud after Gamestop's snafu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomalocaris Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I managed to get it into my cart, but it wouldn't let me check out because apparently Walmart won't ship to my zip code. This is un-fucking-believable. I was so close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishiki Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It's still in my cart, maybe I can call them and see if they would give me enough mercy to let me get it at the local place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work?...Does that mean I could potentially go into the store on the 19th and just buy one? Worth a shot. I have four Walmarts near my area. ^_^ @Anomalocaris I've had the same problem. Could've called to have them handle your pre-order. Not knowing this sooner is why that I've missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
