Microsoft store told me at 9:00am 10-22-09 that the order I placed June 26th "was just approved 5 days ago" and because I didn't pay extra for over night shipping that my order is not a priority to Microsoft. They said that it should (but not necessarily will) ship in the next few days. Guess I might get it sometime next week or the week after.
I definitely will NOT be doing business with the Microsoft store anymore in the future.
According to the Microsoft store telephone rep they "don't know where I heard that people were already receiving their copies but they wanted to assure me that this was not true and that it wasn't available anywhere in the world until today....huh". Claimed to never have heard of SevenForums either.
Guess these people live on a different planet than the rest of us.
Updates:
As of 4:00pm 10-22-09 Redmond time:
No action on my order yet.
As of 6:00am 10-23-09 Redmond time:
Email stating they are shipping on time, and that due to heavy volume my shipping conformation email was delayed. I guess I won't have to cancel my
order and go to Best Buy after all.
As of 01:00am 10-24-09 Redmond time:
Still no change on my order at Microsoft store and no debit against my bank acct.
As of 01:30am 10-24-09 Redmond time:
Order changed to Shipped at Microsoft store, no debit against my bank account, tracking info states "billing info received from shipper".
As of 21:40pm 10-24-09 Redmond time:
Email from Microsoft store claims shipped, tracking info still states "Billing info received from shipper" (Further states that package has NOT been received for shipping yet), no debit against my bank acct. Microsoft states shipped with UPS ground (3-7 days) so maybe the end of next week or the following week.
