As you can see, the updated date is the 28th of October. Generally, this would be the date that they would charge you for the product but I have dealings with Microsoft across the board and they charge for product when it ships.
So it could be that to offset potential covid related shipping delays, consoles could be arriving in the first week of November.
Also, as a general notice, make sure you have your money allocated to your accounts to pay for pre orders.
Again, I don’t know if they may have a stop delivery note on the items to stop them being shipped from local delivery spot to homes until a specific date.
I know that here in Australia, we had people receiving Xbox One consoles 4 days before launch from early post delivery.
I’m questioning if these emails are legit. They came from maccounts(at)microsoft(dot)com and googling has a mixed bag of answers about being an actual MS email address.
I didn’t think they could be scam emails till you’d already left for work, sorry rar!
Thank you! I promise not to rub it in too much if they are legit and we get our consoles early lol. I’m hoping for the best but expecting otherwise right now.
Update as of 5 mins ago. Payment has been taken from our accounts for the consoles. We ordered directly from Microsoft so it looks like they may early ship consoles in Australia and have a “hold till” order with Australia post
