Link to MS Store chat? I called about this and even though I ordered mine hours before backordered notice went up, they still said mine was backordered. I don't believe them. Guy didn't seem too competent.

I'm just on line with MSFT and I'm getting the one or two week spiel here. Man, this whole experience has soured me.

Anyone know where its being ship from? (East coast or west coast USA)

Most from Harrisburg, Penn. But I believe some are shipping from somewhere on the west coast.

Then you probably preordered after it switched to 1-2 week backorder.

Just got a confirmation that my 64g won't be delivered until next week. I had to drag it out of the Live Chat guy. And yes I ordered early on the 16th from States. He kept saying "it will be delivered AT Oct 26 and your CC will be billed on 26th". I know nothing gets shipped before payment has cleared. I didn't quite understand what he meant. So I responded "So it will be next week before I get my device that clearly states on invoice delivered by Oct 26". And got and quick reply of "Yes." The play on words from invoice all the way to this guy has me more that a little upset. This is why Apple kicks MS all over the playground with new hardware. Apple knows how to get it done and MS is just stumbling in the dark.

I ordered at 12:44pm on the 16th and received my confirmation email stating I'll get it on or before the 26th. My card was charged but the charge dropped off after about 3 days. I never saw the order in my account page and still don't as of today. I know this happens sometimes with pre-orders but I'm concerned since it’s already Wednesday. If I don't get any notification or a charge by Thursday night I will be changing my card and going to pick one up at the Microsoft store on Friday as I have gotten a reservation just in case.

Julie: As i checked, since it is a pre order,,the release date is on Oct 26 and it is ready to ship from that day
You: so i wont be getting it until next week?
Julie: you will receive an e-mail confirmation once the surface will be ship
Julie: you will receive the estimated date of when you will receive it
You: But it wont be leaving the warehouse until the 26th?
Julie: It is ready to be ship by the 26th of Oct
You: So there's no guarantee that my Surface will be on my doorstep by the end of the 26th?
Julie: if you avail it with the standard shipping, you will receive it 5-7 business days
You: but when i ordered it, the receipt states "Product release date: your order will be delivered by 10/26" Is this incorrect?
Julie: alright
Julie: in that case, you will receive it on that day
You: fantastic news Julie, thank you very much!
Julie: i can assure you that it will be delivered on the 26th
Julie: it's my pleasure
You: have a great day
Julie: Is there anything else that I can help you with?
You: that would be all, thank you


Fantastic haha

The surface twitter account told me the store is still working on sending out notices and if my receipt says the 26th I'll get it then.
