Yup same here. Profile pops up in shift but nothing after that.

Also might be worth noting if all emails were verified with the various accounts, and if original method is done with epic games or steam version of BL3, I’m using the steam version.

Alright, after further digging can confirm, either doesn’t work on Xbox straight up, or doesn’t work with steam version of BL3, one or the other. Made multiple accounts, verified ALL emails, linked to 2k epic and shift, still nothing. Please update post.
i'm having no problems getting items from steam users either

How would us on epic games go about doing this?

with the test I just did I can now confirm that you do not need to have epic games linked or need to be friends on epic if you have the steam version of the game linked :smile:

if you are having problems getting your shift account to be added try refreshing the page a few times and waiting not just giving up and start trying to link another account.

I have tried to add 3 different shift accounts and refreshed and not once has it worked.also how they library shared on steam so they could accept the shift request from the console account is impossible on epic games.

you can't accept request on consoles that's why it auto adds you. make sure you are logged in to the account you want to add on shift website and quit and reboot the game after. epic games is not required to send items and it didn't work until I linked my 2k account.

well if you find a way to add peoples shift on console or the website let me know. There is a ton of people not having issues and a ton of people having issues. Make sure to look at the pictures if you aren't 100% sure of what to do.

Question: Based on the image of the linked accounts you have PSN and Steam in the same Shift account.

Do the PC and Console accounts need to be in the same Shift account? Or does the shift need to be a different account? I want to send it to myself but don't wanna get it on PC until I'm sure it works

That's because it's my main account I have everything but xbox and statia linked.

You will need 1 PC account and 1 Console account for shift because you can not mail yourself items.

20 minutes have passed. Both games on console and PC restarted. No friends appearing. No longer getting results when searching for that shift ID again

Has anyone other than OP actually confirmed this to work as is on Xbox?

UPDATE: okay I just got it working on Xbox but in a weird way.

Once you sent the friend request on PC:
unlink the steam account on PC shift.
Then on the Xbox shift account, link steam.
Start up BL3 on PC, it will now be linked to the xbox shift account.
Go to social and "manage shift friends"
You'll see the friend request from the other shift account. Accept it.
Close the game, unlink Steam from Xbox shift account
relink to the original PC account.
You can now send the items to the xbox shift account.

ok so let me get this right, 1st you link your primary accounts to shift, then I'd add my ps4 account via using bl3 app on pc, wait 10min or so then i can start sending items to console? i imagine I'd have to use my fiance ps4 account instead of mine correct? and not trying to get off topic but do i use gibbed for modding weaps to send or something else? if anyone has the link to that forum i'd be greatly appreciative because i dont want to violate rules if there are any. thanks for the help :smile:

Hey guys, I got it working as well, but I did the "Shared library steam" trick. Probably because I forgot to Link my 2k account to my psn acc before sending the invite.
Does this also works to send items from PS4 to PC?

Such an underrated comment this, its just fixed my issue. I waited over 24 hours and still nothing had added automatically. Doing this worked your a life saver.
