I’ve seen folks from BC (Vancouver) have shipping updates with delivery of today. Same with Ontario. So there are units in Canada. I’m in Alberta so I’m really hoping that we get some updates today. I’m expecting there will be something at around 5:00PM MST.
I’m still in “Packaged Items” purgatory. I ordered at about 11:23AM MST on the day of the sale - so 23 minutes after it went live.
This is very similar to the shipping process with the original SteamDeck to Canada. For whatever reason, Valve wasn’t able to properly figure out their trans-border shipping to Canada and it took several weeks to go from “Packaged Items” to “Shipped”. I’m hoping it won’t take that long this time but until some Canadians see shipping status, we could be in for a long wait.
