Got my invite Thursday, paid on Thursday too, immediately after I saw the email
Got a late email with a tracking number, tracking number doesn't work yet, but it's something.
Never got it. Turns out I get no steam emails. Very odd. I'll have to look into it. Logged into purchases though and it shows up. July 19 at 6am for a 256gb.
Yup, got mine an hour ago as well. Same as you no tracking as of yet.
Edit: Just got my tracking updated and it's arriving Thursday...
I'm leaving for vacation and my flight is at 5am on Thursday. Won't be home until the following week.

From what I remember what others have posted, shipping to Spain usually takes 5-6 work days, so you should have it by the end of the week.
And somewhat related to GLS, but I knew that I had screwed up entering the address during the order process.
I wanted the Deck shipped to my office but wasn't sure whether to put the company name first or the street address, since it only said "address line 1" and "address line 2". I went with the conventional address format that is known to me and put the company name first and then the street address. Then I got the email confirmation from GLS and, lo and behold, the company name is where the address should be and the address was next to my name. Luckily, there's a GLS packet shop right around the corner where I work, so I picked it as a pick-up location. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow and since it hasn't arrived at the final parcel center yet, I hope changing the address didn't cause a delay. Man, I have a bad feeling about this…

Yeah my tracking updated and it says end of day today, but it also hasn't actually left the warehouse yet, so I'm pressing X to doubt that one. I'm in Ohio and it's coming from Illinois so it shouldn't take too long once they actually pick it up.
Mine also hasn't updated. Coming from Carol Stream, IL and I'm in Chicago, IL. But it says it'll arrive today. Really doubting that lol
For US 512, we're up to (in ~1.5 months) GMT 16-Jul-2021 17:22:41
That rtReserveTime is GMT 16-Jul-2021 17:31:46
Optimistically, we could see ~2 minutes per drop, so:
- 12-May - 17:24:41
- 16-May - 17:26:41
- 19-May - 17:28:41
- 23-May - 17:30:41
- 26-May - 17:32:41
Over the last 9 drops, the average has been ~80 seconds per drop, so:
- 12-May - 17:24:01
- 16-May - 17:25:21
- 19-May - 17:26:41
- 23-May - 17:28:01
- 26-May - 17:29:21
- 31-May - 17:30:41
- 02-Jun - 17:32:01
We're still waiting for Valve's stated "ramp up" in Production, so there's always some hope that 2 minutes per drop is not the ceiling.
Thank you! I kind of freaked out when the notification on Steam popped up over everything I was doing at the time lol.
Fedex is telling me I'll get my delivery tomorrow but there hasn't been a single update yet aside from the initial "Shipment information has been sent to Fedex". I don't get many deliveries from them so maybe this is how they usually operate?
I wish I was going that quicky. They don't even begin to do anything for 24 hours after you pay. So pretty much as soon as your window opened, they changed you to shipping soon.
I think I'm reading this correctly as you just placed your order yesterday (and not Thursday).
Yeah, I placed the order yesterday, and if it changed to "Shipping soon" today when I posted that, that would be about 24 hours.
Yep, just updated on FedEx for delivery tomorrow now. Apparently its in Rosemont, IL which is about 40 mins away from me. Knew today was too ambitious lol.
Same. Mine hasn't updated in over 24 hours from Yucca, AZ. I'm in SoCal.
Edit: Updated, delivery estimate has now changed to tomorrow. Oh well.

My order, placed Monday around Noon CST, also just updated from Processing to Shipping Soon. (although I am also in the Chicagoland area, so maybe that has something to do with it given the other comments I'm seeing here.)
You'll probably get yours sooner given that it comes out of Illinois. I'm in Texas so idk what's going to happen there.
Finally got my confirmation email for the purchase. Customer service quickly got my reservation restored. Now I'll hopefully have my deck in just a few days. Got scared for a moment because steam was being rejected by my bank.
It's selling faster than Valve and their supply chain can make them, so I wouldn't be surprised in the least by an updated model.
WAIT MINES STUCK THERE TOO LOL
edit: or was. In Bloomington now and updated to tomorrow too
Got my email yesterday and paid immediately. Been checking all day and it's just been updated to "shipping soon."
Awesome! As did mine. Thanks for sharing. I figured mine would still be listed as processing.
Same story from last thursday for me and a friend of mine - we're in Italy and we're waiting for our RMA substitution package - the first time was the same so don't worry - it should update when arrives in your country and next day probably you will receive it we hope by the end of this week!! Break a leg!
Obviously our steam decks are brothers, lmao. We'll get ours tomorrow!
They finally updated my tracking. Now it says "Shipment arriving early" despite it now being estimated for Sunday instead of Friday... so it's coming two days later.... but they're saying arriving early... I guess valve time affects their shipping too
Got an update! Delivery estimated for tomorrow! Yay!
Also, you both had to request an RMA? What was wrong?
Just got an email from GLS telling me that the package is going to be delayed.
I've waited for almost a year. What difference is another day or two going to make.
So I indeed received the deck today. Notified of shipment on thrusday and got it today, wednesday. 4-5 business days seems to be normal here in Spain for GLS then.
The thing is already blowing my mind. Good luck everyone with those confirmation emails and shipments.
Received link to complete purchase monday, today my order finally says shipping soon, I am guessing I will be receiving it next week at some point?
You're in the US right?
From what I remember reading in the past Monday orders usually ship on Wednesdays and ship via FedEx ground from Carol Stream, suburb of Chicago, so the closer you are to Chicago the faster you'll get it.
Looking like a 13 hour ride lol, we will see.
Appreciate the follow up though, was not sure of how the wait time was post.
Did you check the detailed shipment tracking? The graphic on my GLS page still says that the package is in transit, so no change since Monday night, but when I check the detailed shipment tracking it shows that the package arrived at a new location around 2:40pm.
I had zero updates from it leaving the Netherlands and up until like five hours before it was delivered, it might still happen.
The wait begins again!
I reserved a second Steam Deck for my girlfriend. It's only the 64GB model, so I am curious how it will compare to my 256GB model in terms of speed.
It was the same for my delivery. Just be patient although that's VERY tough.
I'd bet it will arrive this week!

Yeah. Or a couple days later liked the 9th day after depending on location. Mine came from Illinois to California and took roughly 9 days.
