Wasted an hour and a half on this.

Just signed-up to say that like many of you folks I'm in the same boat.
I managed to put a MSI Gamer X in the cart at 14:15, payment went through at 15:10. Haven't received an order confirmation yet, and status shows "New order - awaiting payment status".
Here's hoping...
I thought the PS5 preorders launching last night were bad... oh boy today's launch was another level of madness!

Hi all, long time reader, first time poster.
That was a "fun" experience. Just pre-ordered the ASUS TUF (non-OC) from OCUK.
I have a HP Reverb G2 on pre-order, so in no particular rush. But I am excited to finally upgrade to this from an RX480 (4GB).

Same mate, usually see a email from them around what 4/5PM? hopefully its just cause of mad rush and site constantly going down there delayed
Upgrading from a 290x, fs2020 is painful at the moment.

Really, what an embarrassment. Prices all over the place, no info on stocks all the way up to launch, and the website falls over for 3 hours as soon as it goes live. It's a new enthusiast gaming card, not a new iphone. You'd think they'd be able to scale the servers to handle it
He did explain about the weakening pound earlier but £70 in a blink of an eye. That sounds ridiculous. This afternoon has felt like Glastonbury (getting the tickets)
.I ended up having to go to a competitor where i got in with stock still available, placed my order, had my bank decline the payment (from my savings account I never use, so shoulda seen it coming), eventually got it unblocked and when payment went through it turned out to be a preorder now (24th Sept ETA). £689 for a zotac, which compares favourably to the £719 on ocuk now!

And I ordered TUF OC for 749 now saying 689.99!!
OCUK are sure teaching us some hard lessons today!

14:21 paid and got confirmation from a competitor, 14:32 paid (money left my Credit card) shows as awaiting payment and no confirmation from OcUK yet

4 times I tried to pay by CC and OCUK kept timing out whilst finalising the transaction, it took until 15:19 to actually get an order through.
I went for the MSI Gaming X Trio, reviews look good but OC have not price gouged it (RRP is £759), where as I almost got a TUF Gaming OC (My first choice) for £689 from a competitor but I also failed to get it to the basket and OCUK have rather marked that one up to the point the MSI looked good VFM!
Lets see, I ordered so late that despite the "ETA: 18th September" I am expecting I'll have to wait sometime yet as I'm sure any stock coming in tomorrow will go to those lucky people who managed to get through the checkout close to 14:00..

OcUK?

ASUS TUF is now back up to the price I paid. (698), Im assuming it going back down to £649 was a glitch or something? Still thoroughly annoying
Soldato
yeah, not expecting it any time soon though, every site wouldn't go to checkout, just either long loading and errors or wouldn't go in the basket. OCUK only worked for me few mins ago
There's some real shadey stuff going on here.
3 Different friends, all ordered from different sites at 14:01 at the latest, all in stock......payment taken from cards - only now to all receive emails (at near identical times) saying the item was over sold and I am now in a queue. HONESTLY ARE THESE BIG COMPANIES RUNNING E-COMMERCE STORES LIKE MY NAN WOULD? - Why are you taking payment of products you DO NOT HAVE TO SELL. The sites are shocking, all of them. And surprisingly guess what? all 3 cards we ordered and WERE SHOWING IN STOCK have now gone up in price?
This business is shady as heck. Did all the big eCommerce companies go to a Jensen party, put their keys in the fish bowl and leave the next day with souvenir Leather jackets to sniff to remember their night?
Horrific experience. Never again.
