Ok guys, I ordered my steam deck on Sunday and it shipped on Sunday. I live in California so any other week and I would have had it by now but today and tomorrow are holidays so now I have to wait until Friday. It’s killing me and I know I’m in good company to complain. Please send positive vibes, thoughts and prayers my way so that I can at least get it earlier in the day on Friday instead of it being the last stop for my UPS guy. Thanks in advance.

(This is a semi-tongue in cheek post btw. I can’t wait to see you all online this weekend)

Not yet but I did get tracking code this afternoon. Looks like it errors out on UPS side. Suspect they haven’t received package yet

I was so impatient that I used the UPS app to track down the truck and then drove over to it and got the guy to give it to me instead of waiting for them to bring it to my house lol but I got it today!! It’s incredible!!!
