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.
Just to comment that I live in NL and day one purchase it’s still pending. IMO the problem isn’t with Valve but with GLS Europe. My bike had the same delivery problem a couple of months ago. It will be delivered but with some pain.
Maybe but it’s Valve’s responsibility to make sure their couriers are up for a task …
I know it will be delivered but damage has been done
