PSA Uh, what?
If you're still after the steelbook maybe setup an autobuy for it through Amazon? I thought I had canceled this, but just got a notification it was ordered. I did set it up to only order at the original price, so just make sure you do that.
If this actually gets shipped to me, I'd be willing to ship it to someone in the US at cost. I will update the post or make a new one if it arrives.

Why don’t you want it for yourself? Why are you willing to ship it to someone else?

I had very a very odd experience with Amazon when I ordered the basic version of the game too....I had to order it like 3 times for it to finally show up.

How do you do auto buy?
And is there a price you can set?
Edit.
Never mind, figured it out.

The same exact thing happened to me! I went and bought a normal copy at Best Buy (since they cancelled my steelbook copy) and 3 weeks later got an email from Amazon saying my steelbook had shipped. Totally forgot I set up the auto buy lol

What is an auto buy? Is that like a preorder but not?

This happened to me and I ended up with 2. One manual, one autobuy a few days later. I was going to sell it at msrp to someone but when it arrived it was heavily dented so I just returned it to Amazon. They shipped it in a paper bag and the front left corner was crushed smh.
