Why is Valve shipping turkey fryers to anyone, let alone the wrong person? I'm confused.

Article says Customer A sent it to valve and they attempted to return it to Customer A but instead sent to customer B. Customer B worked with Valve to send it to Customer A. Why was it sent to valve in the first place? No idea

Someone probably wanted to return their steam deck for repairs or something and also was shipping a Turkey fryer and mistook the boxes and sent it to Valve instead

That would make sense, my original thought was a prank

Apparently it was sent to a repair center, presumably one that repairs a lot of things and not just steam decks or bird-fryers.

My bet is that it got VALVe's attention first, probably because the recipient posted "hey, I got my Steam deck back, along with a turkey fryer, whut?" and VALVe looked into it.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.
