Preorders and getting them early

[jredecop82]

First preorder with microsoft (through best buy). I know some things go out early, any one have any experience with microsoft/surface? They ship early or is 15th the earliest we will see them?

I saw a thread on another forum where a guy already received his from an eBay retailer; m3 model. He posted the unboxing but it seemed to be a defective unit and was returned. That is really odd, but I guess anything is possible.

I am preordered from Microsoft and hoping for an early delivery!

Mine moved to "preparing" Friday but hasn't budged since then.

My credit card just got charged... I have notifications on Amex. I ordered the i5/8G/256G with the keyboard, and the pen separately. In the Microsoft Store, my order now shows ordered for the SP, but the keyboard (same order) and pen both still say pre-ordered.

Nice! Same one I ordered.

Actually, just checked again and now the SP still shows preordered, but the Microsoft Complete shows processing. So something is happening.

Shipped!! Only surface though. Pen and keyboard still say pre-ordered.

Apparently Best Buy is better at informing what is going on. Nothing really changed in my Microsoft direct order other than credit card being charged.

I dont think they are...I got a tracking number but its not valid. Guess it still hasnt really shipped, just label printed.

Bummer. Looks like I'm getting all my stuff tomorrow.

My order has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Ordered SP and type cover at announcement day... ordered the pen a few weeks later. Got a shipping notice on the pen and just the type cover yesterday, with a planned delivery 3 business days later on Monday. Never got a tracking number for shipment of the SP. Then today the two tracking numbers (UPS) both say out for delivery, even though they still show Monday as the planned delivery date. I'm hoping the SP is in there and they just didn't manage the order notifications correctly. I won't unfortunately know until about dinner time when UPS delivers to my house.

Bought the Surface Pro i7 / 8 GB / 256 GB and the burgundy keyboard tonight at the Microsoft Store. They didn't have any burgundy pens so didn't get a pen. But I have the old champagne and the silver pens from my SP4 machines. They'll do for awhile.

UPS finally came after 8pm with two packages. Pen and type cover. No nSP. So my card has been charged and no update on when it will be shipped. I'll never preorder anything again. I'm heading to the Microsoft Store today and hopefully they are still in stock. Very annoyed with this.

My order is still not showing any change so I went to the Apple Store and bought one today. I can't now seem to cancel the order because I was already charged, and I tried to call support at the number on the store site for order help and it didn't ring or anything... no sound when I dialed. So I guess I now have to wait until this thing ever shows up so I can return it and get my money back. Very frustrating.

But at least now I'm enjoying setting it up!
