my tips on getting the nintendo switch during this pandemic for retail price! #nintendoswitch #nintendoswitchrestock #nintendo #switch #acnh
tip #1.
alert websites/e-mails are USELESS. alerts like zoolert, stockinformer, hotstock, and etc are very late when it comes to websites restocking. when these apps and websites inform you, the switches will already be soldout. do not waste time on these alerts!

this does not mean don& #39;t get these alerts, use them to track past restocks to see if websites are developing a pattern. but when it comes to actually tracking it real time, they do not help.
tip #2.
join a discord! join discords that are specifically geared towards notifying when switches restock. these dicords are INFINITE times better at helping you find restocks than the alerts.
the one i used is called: TheSwitchSearch
but you can find some on reddit!

tip #3.
i hope everyone has already done this but, create accounts with trusted retail websites so that all your info is saved! create an account with target, walmart, gamestop, best buy, and any website you use to buy consoles. it will automatically save payment methods +

and shipping addresses so that you do not have input all the information, which will give more time to others and bots to snag switches.
tip #4.
KEEP REFRESHING. this is probably my biggest tip next to joining a discord.
today, i kept refreshing the gray switch, even though it said out of stock on best buy, and eventually it said "add to cart" after about 5 minutes.

this will be the same when it deletes from your cart because it was out of stock. keep adding it until it lets you check out!
this happened to me today and after persistent refreshing for 5-10 mins, best buy brought me to the payment method and placing order pagehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😌" title="Relieved face" aria-label="Emoji: Relieved face">

also do not give into price gougers and scalpers on ebay and amazon. do not fuel their greed and buy your switches for retail price from target, bestbuy, and gamestop. just be paitent, you& #39;ll get it soon !!!!
also these retail websites have been updating DAILY, which is great news. especially costco, who is restocking in bundles (for ~$500). just keep track!
for example: today (05/18), both bestbuy and costco restocked.
(however costco is known to cancel orders, i believe...)
