What you need to know

If you want aSurface Duo 2, here’s the scoop: It’s arriving on October 21, 2021, so long as you live in the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Australia, or Canada. If you’re not on that particular list of countries, you’ll receive the Duo 2… later. How much later is up in the air.

However, Big Apple Buddy has a solution. With its help, those customers outside of Microsoft’s favored regions can get a hold of the company’s upcoming Surface devices not long after the U.S. receives them.

Big Apple Buddy works with FedEx and DHL to ensure people anywhere can get the devices they want a few days after their initial release, meaning if you’re in a region that’s not set to get theSurface Laptop StudioorSurface Pro 8for a while, you know where to turn to.

Take note that there will be a minimum fee of $50 USD per order, dubbed a “service fee” due to the company handling all of the international logistics on your behalf. You can check out more details over onBig Apple Buddy’s site.

And on the flip side, if you live in the U.S., you don’t have to worry about any of this. Just enjoy instant access toeverything Microsoft announced at its 2021 Surface event.
