    UK here, ordered early morning on the 17th, “in transit” since the 25th, no updates since then. Normally I’d just take a breath and be patient but two things have annoyed me.

    First thing is Valve changing the delivery estimate from 8-10 days back down to 3-5 days, that’s a fucking joke, it didn’t even leave their warehouse in 5 days.

    Secondly, scrolling through some comments here I can see people have ordered later than me and have had theirs delivered (or at the very least they’ve got a notification to say when it’s going to be delivered). Obviously I’m happy for them but really pissed that it’s seemingly fucking random when people are receiving theirs since there are people who even ordered before me who are still waiting.

    It’s an absolute joke. I would have happily paid an extra £15-£20 for a faster shipping option but it seems Valve opted for the cheapest, shittiest one they could find. I ordered something from Japan on the 19th and it has already arrived before my deck. At this point I genuinely think a delivery driver has just thrown mine in a canal.

      Glasgow, Scotland - Ordered mine on the 23rd. It’s been in transit since the 26th. This morning got an email from ParcelForce saying it was going to be delivered today, the 29th. It’s been in the Glasgow depot since 8:53AM and didn’t even go out for delivery.

      Earliest I can hope for now is tomorrow, but it’s a bank holiday tomorrow in Scotland so let’s see what happens.

        I’m also in Glasgow and ordered a couple of days after you. If your SD does arrive tomorrow I’ll have a little hope mine will arrive early next week.

          Ours must have been shipped together. Mine was dispatched on the 25th too. Makes me kind of wish I had waited until the 23rd so it was dispatched a day later…

        I’m happy for you but this makes me kind of sad. I ordered on the 19th, transit since the 25th with zero updates since then. I’d love it if they would just confirm it had arrived in the UK. I live an hour north-east of you but still…

          I’ve just gotten mine delivered.

          I replied to someone with my recap, but I’ll post it here as well.

          22nd - Ordered on the evening of.

          26th - The parcel was handed over to GLS (Netherlands)

          29th morning - The parcel has reached the parcel center. (Glasgow, UK)

          30th 10:14 - Prepared for delivery (means they sorted out the route for this parcel, doesn’t mean it will be delivered this day)

          30th 11:02 - Out for delivery

          30th 11:46 - Delivered

          There really should be order of delivery relative to order of purchasing. You ordered yours 5 days before me, you should have definitely have gotten yours last week! Shipping and delivery companies just suck in general with logistics…

              You’re basically across the street from me then, no reason yours couldn’t have been in the same van as mine. It’s just shit service in general.

          Yeah it’s an unfair system. We’re both in the same country and not really far apart either. Why would I get my Steam Deck before you do if you ordered 3 full days before me? Not much we can do but it’s infuriating and unfortunate.
