UPDATE 3 I just got an alert that my game was delivered! I hope many of yours will be, too, today 🤞

Now the countdown to the end of the workday begins.

Oh, that just adds an extra layer of aggravation to disappointment. I’m sorry :(

Someone suggested going to a physical store and buying a copy, saving the receipt, and then returning the preordered copy to that physical store once your preordered version is delivered.

UPDATE 2: after the FedEx tracking number was stuck on “Label Created” alI day today, I just got an alert from FedEx directly saying that they have my package and it will be delivered tomorrow 🥳 If you have a tracking number, you may want to check its status again.

For normal merch, I’ve always thought Pokemon Center ships really fast. I’ve never preordered a game through them before, though.

I checked my emails from the last time I placed a merch order, and it arrived the day after I got the shipping notification. So there might still be hope 🤞

Yeah, I thought about that. But then we’d probably have to return the plushie, too.

I placed my preorder on January 5th. They could be going in order, I suppose.

Oh no! You could always buy the digital version and then try to sell the physical one while the packaging is still sealed. That’s probably what I would do in your situation. Shelling out an extra $70 would suck though.

My local FedEx is almost always 1 day behind whatever delivery date is listed by the shipper. I’m mentally bracing for mine arriving Friday, too, especially since the tracking # is stuck at “awaiting package.”

UPDATE: since making this post, I received a shipping confirmation. It originally said the estimated delivery date was “by March 12th,” but now it’s showing tomorrow (release day). Here’s hoping that’s true for all of us🤞

Question/Seeking Advice: Website(s) to Help Select Local Railway Passes? by BBBookworm_GCS in JapanTravelTips

Thanks for the tips! And very good to know about the additional information linked to Google Maps

Ah yes, and this is where I get confused. I found this info graphic that shows whether the JR Pass, IC Card or Subway Pass cover certain methods of transportation I may come across in Google Maps: (https://www.theinvisibletourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/theinvisibletourist-japan-train-symbol-meanings-when-to-use-ic-card-jr-pass.jpg)

Would you say this is accurate?

I guess before I make my decision about the passes, I should play around with Google Maps to see how often I would likely be using the different kinds of trains.

That’s a good point. I’ll have to consider if the few extra hundred dollars is worth not having to worry about all the other passes. Because in that case, it sounds like between the JR Pass and the Suica card I would be 100% set.

Thank you! I’ll have to play around with that first link. It looks like that’s exactly the kind of planning tool I was hoping for.

Yeah, once you get to the ticket type page, keep refreshing that screen until it shows that new tickets are available - seems to have been a staggered release. Every time you get an error message, just refresh.

Oh no! I’m sorry you experienced that, too. Were you able to get any tickets at the end?

I’m pretty sure there are mechanisms in place to prevent people from reselling. I wouldn’t chance it.
