maniacmyak6 wrote im ok with experienced mexicans repairing my xbox but why does xbox feel the need to snoop around their customers using laredo as a coverup

They're not covering anything up. Sometimes when things are shipped they end up in different places. When I had to send in my Turtle Beach to get fixed I had to send it to New York. I tracked it and it went to New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, back to New Jersey and then New York.

Laredo is damn near mexico anyways.

Most likely your xbox will still be repaired! So why care?

I figured I have the same situation today.

I sent my Xbox in for repairs using FedEx. It went to Mesquite Texas to be repaired ( repair center there) I checked the status of my repair on and it said it was complete, and was given a tracking number. Xbox support says that they might not give your old Xbox console back if they can't repair it but might give you a refurbished one. So I'm guessing that mine couldn't be repaired because my tracking number said it was being picked up from Guadalajara Mexico. (Still waiting on it).After some research I found out that they make Xboxes in Mexico.

So to summarize this, you might receive a refurbished or possibly new console.
I hope this helped and good luck to you.
