Chances of a Nintendo Switch restock?

42 replies

Had been thinking of possibly getting my DD a Nintendo Switch for Christmas, life got in the way, and now everywhere is showing out of stock.

What are the chances do you think of this being restocked anytime before Christmas?

Thanks 🙂

Curry's let's you add to basket for collection but I've not gone further than that to see if it lets you pay

This is saying Amazon have some.

tinierclanger · 02/12/2020 18:56

It looks like there may be some on click and collect in some Argos branches if you check here www.stockinformer.co.uk/argos-reserve-nintendo-switch

I definitely think you will get one. Switch has been out for a few years now so it's not like a new model or anything. Just keep checking. I got a great bundle from Argos last year which included a game and a case. I'd stay away from Currys, their customer service is horrible and shipping is extremely slow & unreliable as they use Royal Mail. Keep checking Amazon too or the actual Nintendo site.

Yep the same! Thank you so much for sharing the stock informer, I’ve literally been refreshing to check various sites since Black Friday every couple of hours.

MWestie · 02/12/2020 22:08

Thanks for all the replies and info.

I tried Currys but said out of stock for me, useful heads up about the customer service and delivery though, I'll bear that in mind as it's a company I've never bought from.

Will definitely check the stock informer, great tip and will keep checking Amazon and Nintendo. Fingers crossed for all of us looking, if I have any luck tracking them down will post here for others too 🙂

I havent seen any since black friday .

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 02/12/2020 22:10

And as pp said its not like a new model. Maybe covids influenced people's decisions.

BexR · 02/12/2020 22:16

Smyths says they should be in stock 14-17 December

HamSandwichKiller · 02/12/2020 22:18

I bought ours from Game. Might be worth a look as the price was the same as Curry's

cautiouscovidity · 02/12/2020 22:22

Just checked Argos and one local(ish) store has stock to collect immediately and another says order now to collect Monday 7th (neon one) or Friday 4th (grey one).
I'm in Devon.

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 02/12/2020 22:29

Ooh our argos has now!!! It didnt before.

Overoptimistix · 03/12/2020 00:10

I bought one from Game yesterday, I think they are still in stock.

Doublebubblebubble · 03/12/2020 00:15

I know this is probably a stupid suggestion and that you want a brand new one but they have got them in C.E.X.

Theyre second hand but they wont take them unless theyre working properly and you get a years warrantee so that if it breaks after christmas, when the rush is over, you can replace it with a newer one.

I know it isnt ideal but

MWestie · 03/12/2020 00:32

Thank you all for different options. I've found one!

I was checking all main sites again and suddenly showed as available at a local Argos where nothing was in stock when I originally posted. So does look like there's some movement there and definitely worth checking again if anyone else is still looking.

Thanks again, really appreciate all the replies and help 🙂

hello.
i checked Argos this morning and got one to pick up tuesday x

JinglesWish · 03/12/2020 10:29

Argos and Amazon both showing stock this morning

user1471428628 · 03/12/2020 10:30

I got one yesterday on Game.

PineappleUpsideDownCake · 03/12/2020 11:58

The cex one makes no sense to me. Theh are selling for £270 when new they are £279. I cant face paying full peices for second hand!

rbe78 · 03/12/2020 12:01

Try Game, bought one late last week. Emailed yesterday to ask why it hadn't been dispatched - has now been shipped, so they must have some in stock!
