The Ultimate 3DS Buyers Guide: 3DS Shop Orders and Delivery

Does a 3DS pre order guarantee? Yes, a pre order guarantees/reserves one for you. Through Amazon payment is taken when your order is about to be dispatched. Email order confirmation will be sent long after the item leaves the retailer warehouse. Even if you telephone, it is unlikely your order can be cancelled during the final hours of order processing. No confirmation email = no 3DS order.

During the time between ordering and expected delivery date you should receive an email notice along the lines of "we are writing to let you know that the following item has been sent" or "your order has been dispatched" or "your order has been shipped to the following address" (double check the delivery address).

Once you have agreed to their sale conditions all that's left is counting down the days. So now there are no days left to cross off your calendar. The long wait is over. Will the post arrive before you have to go out, or when you are out? You take the day off.

Tracking your order online can be reassuring. Those delivery guys in white vans don't like hanging around. Fortunately Home Delivery Network used by Play.com will provide a time-frame estimate which is pretty accurate. Someone at your address will need to be alert when the door goes to run and sign for the 3DS delivery.
