The release date of Nintendo Switch is coming up so fast and if ever you don't have your Nintendo Switch pre-order, well you're out of luck. However, there's no need to be sad you have your won Nintendo Switch this March 3, there's still time left for pre-orders. Here are tips that will help you locate online pre-orders.

First, you must sign up your valid email address to get email alerts on your selected retailer's official site such as Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, Target, and etc.; which let you sign up for free to receive alerts. By this, if ever there's a new batch of Nintendo Switch supply you will be the one to first to know; helping you to find out if there's still more units left.

You can check every retailer's site to get multiple notifications and let you choose which site are you comfortable with. One of the best site that let buyers monitor all multiple sellers and retailers at once is Now in Stock; it organizes all stocked details from all retailers.

Another thing is to check the website every minute from time to time but that's kind of a hassle. Fortunately, there's a site called Visual Ping that lets you choose a set of sites to monitor for its changes in terms of stocks and unit arrivals. Instead of dragging your nose in front of your laptop to watch all the sites, Visual Ping will be the one to do the work.

If still you can't see any available stock at those retailers sites mentioned earlier and you are now in desperate mode. Well, you can use IFTT to set up alerts using text messages whenever you received certain emails. This is useful for receiving SMS notification; an IFTTP notification which is available on any iOS and Android phones. By having this notification through text messages or email messages from Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Visual Ping will be the most useful and effective way.
