If you want your status to change, give up and order a ROG Ally. That’s what I did earlier today, and now both are due for delivery tomorrow. UK 19/11 1TB.

Still planning on sending the SD back unopened.

Ordered a ROG Ally an hour ago, will be here tomorrow by noon.

19th November UK (1TB OLED) order. Might take a while at this rate, but I’ll get my money back.

This is useful information. I’ve contacted support to ask them to cancel my order and immediately issue a refund due to it being lost in transit, since neither GLS nor Parcelforce know where it is.

Everything to do with this fiasco is about setting expectations.

The estimated delivery date was way off.

The weirdo “packaged” status gave no timeframe.

The tracking doesn’t work, at all.

Everyone (mostly) would be calm if realistic expectations had been set.

Also: this has given me way too much time to read Ally and Go reviews.

All 1TB are etched, LE or otherwise.

At least in the UK/EU, it’s a disaster. Maybe less so in other regions - I haven’t been following those.

Making a public fuss forces corporations to do things.

I’m not feeling all that excited about trusting Steam right now. The current shipping fiasco has make me a little less tolerant.

I’m ready to buy a ROG Ally out of sheer annoyance, tbh. Only thing stopping me is that I really don’t want to buy from Currys, who seem to be the only online shop selling the thing, and their return policy states that you can’t have used the device at all.
