if it makes you feel better my wife has emposed a game embargo until after Christmas, so I have to drool while alot of my frends enjoy all the new Switch games...
Same with the Military Exchanges they have pre order available but it gets to the store late. I had to wait almost 3 weeks after release date to get my game...
Usps doesn't care about game release days it's just business as usual for them. If you want to get it ASAP you need to pre-order at a store and go get it.
