This exactly 100%There is no such this as a demand problem.. They should have forward planned with atleast somewhat acceptable supply to something which was obviously going to be high demand. Instead they gave plans to AIBs last min, and had like a month production of a chips. They forced the launch early to get out before AMD/the consoles and to please shareholders for reporting.
Oh yes. Biggest and best manufacturer relationships my foot. I was suckered in. Just sticking with my order because I can't see any alternative at this stage.
Exactly my logic, too. I'd love to cancel my order at this stage, half on the principle of feeling a competitor deserves the sale more, since they're far more transparent, but... Queue positions & a lot of other retailers aren't taking orders.
Have you considered why these other competitors can't order stock? Maybe because it's already been ordered by OCUK?Exactly this, but for certain I won't be pre-ordering anything with OCUK again.
except that other competitors have been receiving, and shipping stock, and of a much wider variety than we've seen here?Have you considered why these other competitors can't order stock? Maybe because it's already been ordered by OCUK?

cant believe it, :/A lot of talk about TUF OC, still no word of non-OC? I'm #15, I gotta be in the next shipment, but when will it be![]()
Shouldn't.by rights they "should" but if there's money to be made then they already have ours so do the math![]()
We shouldn't need to 'consider' anything. OC should be able to tell us. They obviously choose not to, which is the crux of most of the complaints here. Not that stock is limited. We're all grown-ups, we get that. It's the fact that OC has taken million of pounds up-front but a) seem immensely disorganised for the 'best' in the business, and b) treat their paying customers with contempt.Have you considered why these other competitors can't order stock?

They stopped taking orders when they realised they couldn't fullfil them all in a timely manner. OC are still taking pre-orders. When people are looking at next yr now why are OC still taking pre-orders? The other shops appear to be sending more than OC. whether thats just poor comms on OC's part who knows but it defo doesn't look good for the guys in here waitingHave you considered why these other competitors can't order stock?

Gibbo's original comment was:
Small is less than 50
Average is over 50 (50-100)
Big was more than 100
1000+ is a dream
My guess would be that OK falls in the 50-100 space
Wouldn't surprise me one bit if they were coming in and being used in pre build pc's where there is even more profit for them.we're seeing people receiving Strix and Gigabyte cards for example.... why aren't we seeing that here if they're all ordered by OCUK?
hence my comment that they "should" be in the same queue as uscant believe it, :/
Shouldn't.
Orders must be dealt on FIFO system.
