AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

[beany_bot]

1.2 was for VAT. Was using 1.26 GBPUSD as you. Yep, it comes to about 470-480 depending on whether you include handling fee. But given previous pricing, ocuk usually swaps $ sign for £ and maybe sometimes removes £5-10 so I reckon 490 for 3900x is more likely.

£490 and I will import. No point wasting money.
£475 is where the price "should" be. And judging by the 3600 where is probably will be.

shame because if brexit had never happened we would be paying around £400

I'm still ummin and ahhing
What do you guys think is the best upgrade from my 2700x ? Purely for gaming.
I know you might say wait for reviews, but right now with paper details what do you think?

Purely for gaming?? Playstation 5

 

[Thekwango]

So basically no one has a clue then. lol
I will wait for reviews

how can anyone have a clue (other than an educated guess) without reviews?

Guessing this is tongue in cheek ?

£240 for the 3600 is near 20% more than i was expecting, how does it go from $199 to £240?

UK pricing has always been higher.

Also the likes of ocuk and it's main competitors buying majority of the stock and then price gouging.

It's not £240. Why does this keep surfacing?? Gibbo has said 3600 is £189.

USD price without tax for 3600 is $199. 199/1.26*1.2 = £190

USD price without tax for 3900 is $499. 499/1.26*1.2 = £475

Keep in mind shipping costs and flat handling fees by royal mail (£8). Forum members get free shipping. But if you can avoid both of these obstacles, yes I suppose it makes sense to import to save £15

But yeah lets see, I hope the price is £475 as well, would be nice.

How do you get the FREE shipping as a forum member? I don't think Ive seen that option before when putting an order through.

Free shipping for members:

• OcUK Forums members who have 250 or more posts and have been registered for over 90 days, or
• OcUK Forums members who have been registered for over 12 months and made at least 100 posts

Do check if the requirement changed though. Then it's just a matter of linking your forum account to your ocuk store account for free shipping.

Edit: I think you're just 15 posts away from free shipping, go to General Discussion and type away

Why on earth would you go through the hassle of import, just to save £15

Shipping costs are free if bought from certain place. What is this flat handling fee by royal mail? I've literally never paid that.

 

[dogma77]

Already confirmed by Gibbo the 3600 is £188. So not greed. Just RRP (MSRP).

where is that from

48 days! Mental to wait that long to save £15.

If your delivery is through royal mail they will charge you £8 handling fee. You come to Royal Mail branch, pay 20% VAT + £8 Handling fee, they give you your item. Google it.

Probably a typo, I think he meant 48 hours but sounds quite optimistic for something to come in 48 hours from the US and shipping will cost a pretty penny from the US to the UK.

Plus, what about RMA if it’s DOA?

 

[StriderX]

I think the convenience of RMA is exactly worth the premium, if there is one.
