Nintendo has updated its delivery pricing for the Nintendo Store in Europe, adding a new perk for paid Nintendo Switch Online (NSO) subscribers. As of today, subscribers qualify for free standard delivery on most purchases over £1 and free express delivery on orders above £199.99, positioning the change as another incentive to hold an NSO membership. While framed as a benefit, some commenters argue it effectively repackages previously cheaper or free shipping as a subscriber-only privilege.

Under the new structure, non-subscribers pay a flat £4.99 for standard delivery on items up to £199.99 and £7.99 for express delivery regardless of value, while subscribers face those same charges only on sub-£1 items (typically Platinum Points rewards) or faster shipping on cheaper goods. Pre-orders costing £41.99 or more — covering most physical Switch 2 games — ship free for everyone. Several readers noted that standard delivery was previously free on orders over £20 and £1.99 below that, meaning Platinum Points reward shipping has effectively risen from £1.99 to £4.99; equivalent euro pricing applies in markets such as the Netherlands, and the article notes the scheme has not reached North America.
