Hrm. I just got charged. No shipping confirmation. What's odd is I ordered the 512gb, a type cover, and one of their bluetooth mice and got different ship dates for all three. The mouse was charged, sent, and received awhile ago. The type cover is listed as shipping the 21st and the surface the 29th. I figured I'd get separate charges for each, but the charge on my business account this morning is for the cover and the surface.
Trying not to get too hopeful, but considering I just gave my current laptop away to my kid I would not be upset if my surface showed up early.
