Hey there, my dear reader! If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a Nintendo Switch but keep finding empty shelves, you’re not alone. Ever since its launch in early March, the Switch has been selling like hotcakes, and finding one feels like winning a lottery. To tackle this massive demand, Nintendo has taken an extraordinary (and pricey) step—they’ve been shipping Switch consoles to the U.S. and Europe by plane!
Yes, you heard that right—by plane! While most products are shipped via sea to save costs, Nintendo decided to fast-track deliveries, even though air shipping costs significantly more. According to the Wall Street Journal, this decision adds about $45 to the cost of each console. That’s no small change, but it shows how committed Nintendo is to getting their beloved hybrid console into your hands as quickly as possible.
Have you managed to snag a Switch yet? If you’ve been lucky (or persistent), I’d love to hear your story—let’s chat in the comments below! And if you’re still on the hunt, hang in there; Nintendo’s working hard to keep up with the demand.
