I made a mistake and need help.

I have two Surface Pro's.

My surface pro that I bought from Microsoft a few months ago, serial number BK36GJQ25283Q6, bricked and I sent it in for service.  When it bricked I bought a brand new surface pro at Best Buy, Serial number BK33GJ26313Q6.

The mistake I made was that I accidentally created a service ticket, case #: 2048044308, to the new Surface pro, serial number BK33GJ26313Q6.

Microsoft emailed me a fed ex label, see attached, and I sent in the bricked surface pro, serial number BK36GJQ25283Q6, using the case #: 2048044308, for the new surface pro, BK33GJ26313Q6.

It shows on the UPS app that it was delivered, see attached and at the UPS tracking link here:  https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&tracknum=1ZW8597X8429014437

Now I can't track the repair and find my Surface Pro that I sent in.

Please help.

    This needs to be handled by a live Surface support agent because the device sent in does not match the serial number on the service order.

    Use this path to reach a person:

    1. Go to Contact Microsoft Support.
    2. Sign in with the Microsoft account used for the repair request.
    3. Type Live Support or Contact Support and select Get help.
    4. Scroll down and choose Contact support.
    5. Under Products and services, select Surface.
    6. Choose the Surface model and select Confirm.
    7. Select one of these options:
      • Chat with a support agent in your web browser
      • Provide your phone number and have a support agent call you

    Have these details ready when connected:

    • the service order number
    • the UPS tracking number
    • both Surface serial numbers

    Ask the agent to review the repair order and escalate it because the shipped device serial number and the service ticket serial number were mixed up.

    If support is unavailable in the contact flow, try again later. For Surface for Business devices, contact the organization IT helpdesk or admin instead.
