    100% first world problems but you’re 100% warranted in your annoyance.

    I’m UK, I think GLS are to blame mostly from what I see, but Valve selected them and it’s been a bit of a shitshow from start to… Where we are now. Still very much excited to get mine on Monday but it’s taken a heap of my excitement out.

      100% with you there, the shitshow has definitely given a hit to the excitement.

      Even just giving longer initial delivery estimates would’ve given a better experience. Now folks, myself included, have just been antsy and later disappointed that the estimates do not seem to hold.

        Valve’s estimates on the product page are misleading at best. When confronted through support tickets, they revealed that the 3-5 business days estimate only applies after it has left their warehouse. So we’re in a shitshow where it may take your parcel anywhere from 1-2 days to a full week just to leave the warehouse then another 3-5 business days to get actually delivered, which doesn’t seem to happen anyway because Parcelforce are screwing people everywhere right now with fake delivery attempts… No words.
