- Got a new job early last month and I decided to treat myself to a fancy new video game thing as a new job/birthday/christmas celebration, so I bought myself a Steam Deck. Ordered it through the steam website and waited til the 9th of December when I get the tracking number...
- ...Okay, no problem. That's pretty close to me (I live in Arizona), so a few days, maybe a week tops. It's holiday season, I'm chill, and shit has to suck for deliver drivers. It leaves and ends in Riverside CA, then goes to Goodyear AZ. That's like next day delivery for me.
- On the 10th it leaves Goodyear AZ and heads to...Lathrop CA. Okay...So, now it's near San Fransisco. That's approx 580 miles/950 Kilometers. Huh. That's frustrating!

View full threadTurns out shipping something with a lithium battery by air requires a label. Basically, UPS broke some laws by not properly labeling a package as containing hazardous materials. Which, honestly why would they? It's just going one state over and by truck. Anyways, it's supposed to be here Monday!
