<< I think when you register for the retail program, the default setting for email is OFF, so you don't get any emails from them. If you have never received email from MS, you'd better check your profile! >>
Thanks for the heads-up, amgc36.........it turns out that my email setting was OFF, just as you said. I suspect that this is the reason I have not received a shipping email from M$.
I also finished the quizzes on 12/13, however, at that time there were still over 1200 prize packages left. It may be that M$ is not shipping the prize packages for those of us who completed the quizzes after the 12th, but with so many packages still left on the 13th, it doesn't appeal to my common sense that they would not ship them all at once.
Just my .02 cents, but it doesnt matter to me if it shipped on the 19th, the 26th or whatever. Finishing those quizzes for the prize package is no less than "found" Xmas presents imho. Sort of like "found" money.......no problem for me to wait until I receive it.
Good luck to all who took part, and completed the quizzes. Your prize package will arrive soon enough!!
