Gigabyte dont seem to be interested in trying to keep that original "due 23rd Sep" that was there on the page when ordering. OCUK can't have just plucked that date out of thin air.....can they?

That would have been the date for items they currently held at the time or were coming a couple of days after launch.
 
As I’ve said before I’m happy to wait my time in the queue, and don’t blame OC for this, but the lack of communication from everyone involved Nvidia/AiB’s/retailers is just outrageous. Having being hyped up by Nvidia, to all the social media posts from AiB’s saying “grab your new card tomorrow” to them raving about the reviews they got and answering peoples questions about availability with “it’ll make it worth the wait”, to retailers also saying get your cards on launch and then saying”sorry it was just preorder, we’ve got none”, just leaves me drained. It’s taken us all for mugs and continued silence just adds more salt. All the manufacturers must know how many cards they can make in a day and ship out, if not how are they in business?! If it’s down to dodgy capacitors then why not tell us “sorry we found a design flaw, fixing asap”. Are we not taught honesty is the best policy?
Anyway rant over, here’s hoping hundreds cancelled their msi order :p and looking forward to actually getting one soon:D
 
That update on the Trios is promising. If the unofficial queue was right I'd get one but I'm not holding out hope, at least it'll clear the queue in front of me

The way some of them big each other up makes me think it’s just one guy who has made multiple accounts and is conversing with himself! :D

LOL imagine that, Paper launch was so **** that it drove him insane so ended up making a bunch of forums accounts and started ranting to himself on the forums :D

Typical, 30 cards coming in and on the unofficial calc, I am 39th!

IIRC someone was told by customer service that the first shipment of Trios on the 18th had 5 cards in it... so you might be even closer but not quite there (or with the inherent inaccuracy of the calculator, plus cancelations, and you might get lucky!)

Oh, what fun!
Wonder if I'll get a trio this time.
It's like the day before refreshing the Premium Bonds app.
Have a feeling it will be a 'No win this month, there is always next month' scenario :D

How did you calculate that?
 
There does seem to be one thing in common with all these stock deliveries; small or very small. Which to me means small 10-20 and very small less than 10. It's going to take them months and months even if they got 100 each day, which I feel is very unlikely.

If you used paypal can you just cancel it through paypal instead of messing about being on hold for a week?

I used amazon pay as that was the only method that was working for me at the time. I spent 1 hour 40 mins trying to order on the phone on launch day without success. Imagining somewhat of a repeat today but needs must.
