Hi All,
This is such a great service. Thanks Zoolert. Sorry LONG>

Anyway, I was bummed as I had gotten an order through for my Wii Fit on a short time frame yesterday early AM on line from Best Buy, got my confirmation email that I would receive it between the 12th and the 19th, then the disappointment came about 6 hours later when I got a backorder email and that it would be shipped as soon as they got one, and we all know how back orders can go.
So I called today and they told me the first time I called that all was OK that the item was released for delivery and would receive another email when it was actually shipped with my tracking number, so I kept checking all day and I never received this email, so here I am getting nervous again, wondering whether I should be back out or on the phone calling around to find another one. So I called again, and she checked and said the order is being processed, the item was released for delivery and that I should still receive it within the original time frame of the 12th to the 19th, and when it physically goes out the door for delivery is when I will get my last email that it was shipped, so that might take a day or two.
So hopefully all was for naught and everything will be fine.
So thanks in advance of actually having the wii fit, to Zoolert, it was thanks to your heads up that I went to Best Buy.

If anyone else on here lives in Central NJ and can't find one, let me know and I will keep my eyes open and pick one up for anyone needing help.

Little more advice, Like someone else stated about Game Stop, my local Game Stop today said they have been receiving a weekly shipment of a few every Wednesday, by me anyway, so I was told to check with them about 11:30-12:30 when the UPS comes, he said sometimes the delivery does come Thursday. I did not call back as I was told by Best Buy that mine is still coming. So I will wait a bit.

Toys R Us, I also had called them, and in talking to the Gentleman, I commented that I was disabled, which I am, so it is tough for me to run around to stores, and he was nice enough to tell me that almost all the Toys R Us gets a delivery every 3rd weekend of the month from Nintendo and for ordering on line to start calling Early Saturday AM on and through till Monday, of that third weekend of the month, as they post them on the website as they get them. I would assume that the same goes for local stores. Or go to local store early on Sat am, I would not even call, they will sell out by the time you get there
I am going on the assumption all that was told to me is correct.!!!
.Good luck to all. Especially with calling a local toys r us, ours never answers their phone, but the number I got on line they answered.

So folks, use this website as a guide and let your fingers do the walking and call and ask lots of questions!!

Take care,
Donna
Will post when I finally get the item, if it falls through, oh well, back to searching!!

Now I need to find Mario Kart for my grandkids!!

Donna,

You have obviously gone above and beyond for the whole zooLert community.

I won't say much that master hasn't already said, but if you didn't notice... We do try to keep track of mario kart too!

Mario Kart Tracker

I HONESTLY am showing that to you in the most sincere in way to hope that we can help you get that as well.

Wow.

Again - great post and I am sure you are helping MANY people with this information.

Sleep good tonight - you deserve it!

And if they haven't fully canceled your order at Best Buy - keep hoping it is coming!! We have heard of some people that DID get tracking numbers today. Not a lot, but a few people emailed us. Unfortunately, not everyone takes the time to make it to the forum.

Thank you again. Sincerely!

Reply to Themaster,

You are quite welcome.
I would just like to do for others that I would like done for me if it were possible.
And it just annoys me that people are out there making money off their fellow man/woman to get a head, I understand the economy is tough, I hope I never get that needy and would find the need to make money like that.

On our local Craigs list some one had 6 of them that they were trying to sell for 150 each, that is just WRONG!!

I wish everyone that was selling them on Ebay and such for outrageous money amounts would get stuck with them, that would teach everyone a lesson, but such is life, things will never change.

Good luck everyone,
DJR
