Both platforms are currently offering the product at full retail price:
2000fun and Lbuy.
While Lbuy might seem like the better option, there’s a catch – their initial stock is limited to just a few hundred units. With pre-orders already surpassing 1,000, any new purchases essentially join a waiting list. A subtle disclaimer on Lbuy’s product page reveals: “Orders will be fulfilled based on payment sequence.
First batch [earliest orders] ships by June 5th.” This means their current full-price sales are actually creating a queue, with no guarantee of securing the initial shipment. If you miss out, they’ll simply refund your payment… making an upfront full payment somewhat pointless in this scenario.
To guarantee first-batch delivery, I chose to pay a premium: 3999 – 3750 = 249 HKD. The package includes bonus accessories and a game, shipped via SF Express with 13% tax. The total came close to 5K. Unless you’re in a hurry, I’d suggest waiting to see how the market develops. Nintendo has indicated the first production run is substantial. Personally, I purchased mainly for screen protector testing purposes, so I recommend holding off for now unless absolutely necessary.

I see, so it sounds like Lbuy has a big disadvantage despite the seemingly faster shipping since their initial stock is super limited. I think I’d go with 2000fun unless they also have similar issues with stock. It’s good that Switch 2 is available for preorder but these kinds of restrictions can be frustrating.
I see, so Lbuy has a limited initial stock but seems like the safer bet if you’re okay with the potential wait. I wonder if there are any other platforms not mentioned in the article that might have better availability or deals. It’s frustrating that pre-orders are already exceeding what they can handle early on. Thanks for breaking this down, it really helps when deciding where to buy from.
I see, so it sounds like Lbuy has a big disadvantage with that limited initial stock even though it’s slightly cheaper. I think I’ll go with 2000fun then since they seem to have better availability for now. It’s smart of them to manage expectations with that payment sequence disclaimer too. Hope this info helps others decide as well!
It seems like Lbuy has a bit of a catch with that limited initial stock, even though it’s tempting for its early shipping date. I might consider going with 2000fun instead if they have better availability, but I’d definitely keep an eye on those payment sequence details. It’s tricky because everyone wants to be in that first batch!
It seems like Lbuy has a bit of a disadvantage despite the earlier shipping date since their initial stock is so limited. I might go with 2000fun unless I really need it right away, just to avoid the waiting list situation. It’s good to know these details before making a decision. Pre-order strategies can make a big difference when stocks are this constrained.
It seems like Lbuy has a risky strategy with such limited initial stock, even though it’s tempting for early birds. I wonder if the waiting list will deter potential buyers or if people will still jump in despite the uncertainty. Pre-ordering can be a gamble sometimes, but I guess that’s part of the excitement. I hope Nintendo considers this high demand when planning future releases.
I see, so it sounds like Lbuy might have a faster shipping window for early orders but could take much longer for later ones. I think I’d go with them if my timing works out since their site seems easier to navigate than 2000fun. Just hope they actually have enough stock!
That’s a great point! Yes, Lbuy often has quicker shipping for early orders, and their site is indeed user-friendly. If their stock holds up and fits your timing, it’s definitely worth considering. Fingers crossed for availability too—happy hunting!
I see what you’re saying about the pre-order situation being tricky. It’s frustrating that Lbuy’s initial stock is so limited, especially since they have a huge number of orders. I guess keeping an eye on both platforms is still the best bet for snagging one early. Just hope the delivery dates stay accurate!
I see what you’re saying about the pre-order situation being tricky. It’s frustrating that Lbuy’s initial stock is so limited, especially when they have such a small window for fulfilling orders. I guess it really comes down to how urgently someone needs one and if they can afford to wait longer. Good to know about the payment sequence detail too.
I see, so it sounds like Lbuy has a big downside despite the seemingly faster shipping. I might go with 2000fun then, even if it’s a bit more inconvenient. Do you think either site has better customer service though? And how about return policies?
I see, so it sounds like Lbuy has a big disadvantage despite the slightly better appearance of their deal. I guess if I want to guarantee my purchase, I should go with 2000fun instead. It’s just frustrating because Lbuy’s price seems more appealing at first glance. I hope this info helps others avoid the confusion I had when reading about these pre-orders.
