Purchasing steam deck was an experience I would like to forget. But now shipping is equally messed up.
I mean delivery estimate of 3-5 days is bad to start from. I live in the UK and maybe Amazon spoiled me a bit but these days I expect things to get posted next day for delivery a day after. Especially expensive items.
Steam delivery updates are borderline useless. My current status is “shipped” since Tuesday…it’s 5th working day today. So they failed even on their own bloated estimate. Looking at Reddit it seems there are many others in a similar situation.
If it was a random guy from eBay sending a deck somewhere from the middle of nowhere I would understand…but ffs this is a multimillion dollars corporation with almost unlimited resources that has done similar things in the past.
Steam get your act together! Reputation is not easy to fix.
Sorry mate this is on you. I’m also very impatient and was hoping to get it sooner. But 3-5 days and getting even close to that with the wave of orders that they got is quite the achievement. Stock has been amazing and units have been ready to process since orders went live. I think the scale here is hefty and you should be glad it’s as smooth as it is
