*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

I'm starting to doubt OC if they are the best etailer in the UK or just an underdog... I'm so jealous of how innovative competitors are with their website updates and handling this kind of situation. T.T

feelsbadman... still, High hopes for OC

Just a guess but with OCUK being part of larger European group and there being so much demand for these not only here but also in Europe is that they might be struggling for stock since for some manufacturers I imagine stock is needing to be shared between caseking and ocuk. Some of the UK specialists seem to be getting more stock and are seemingly getting some SKUs in that OCUK have not yet.
 
I think we'll just have to wait and see our queue positions before jumping the gun on cancelling orders. If stuff jumps up in the next 2 weeks ill stay loyal. I dont want to have to buy a 2060 or something until stock returns.
 
The crap thing is that I, like a lot of other people I'm sure, we're debating between the competitor and OCUK for their order. I sided with OCUK on that "bigger brand" stance. Ha-ha-ha.
 
Post in the customer service section and ask ;)
Why does this need to be posted in the customer service section. Surely OCUK are fully aware of what is going on in this thread.
It really doesn't make for good reading. Yes, I've had a few drinks this evening and I have one eye closed so I can focus :D, but they really don't seem to give a **** about the opinions in here. It certainly feels like that anyway.
This is not a random forum. It's full of customers and it's beginning to feel like we are all taken as a joke.
 
I wonder if they are even sending out emails to say orders have been despatched. While i accept that the number of total orders will far outweigh the total number of people that contribute to a forum such as this, i find it troubling that there seems to be total silence when it comes to shipping confirmation emails from this community in particular.
 


This is what a competitor is doing. Why can’t OCUK do the same?

This shows this group getting Gigabyte Cards on Sept 28th and October 5th both dates Gigabyte said cards would be dispatched in the UK and IE. Both dates that OcUK did not dispatch any, at least not that they posted about. I wonder if they are on the outs with Gigabyte or don't have the ability that others have to pull stock. I hope not, as I am 140 on queue for the Gaming OC. I have yet to see them announce sending any of those. Kinda bummed that at the current pace I will not get it in time to get Watchdogs. But maybe the next promo will be good.
 
Ehh. 5 days ago I was 1105 in queue. Today 1105. That is frustrating. I did preorder Assassin Creed and cyberpunk 2077. All I wi do now I will watch streaming on YouTube. If the price for rtx 2080 was lower I would probably cancel my order and go for 2080 instead. But in situation when, 3080 cost the same as 2080 can't see point to do that.

there posts doesn’t say how many was received or dispatched out. They also havn’t said how many they had instock on launch day. It’s all subjective from there web page. Overclockers could have had a much bigger shipment at the start and not had any stock since. Or that company could have the same amount split over 3 deliveries. Or heck they could have had 10x more .
My point is we don’t know how many overclockers sent out day 1 or that other company. We’re all trying to read between the lines
 
What i don't get is that it shows Pny 2080 cards being rwcieved shipped consistantly each week since launch.

How is it that OC has not recieved or shipped a single pny 3080 card , not one ??

I notice that the pny 3080 cards are marked as available for build to order in oc configurator and are the cheapest 3080 option.

Looks to me like if OC do have these cards they are reserving them for build sales

Based on the table on their site, they got both "last weeks" and "this weeks" GB deliveries this week (previously WC 28thth was listed as delayed). So I'm hopeful that OC will be getting some GB cards in the next couple of days (and if we're real lucky, they'll tell us about it).

there posts doesn’t say how many was received or dispatched out.
All you need to do is take compare the unfulfilled orders number before and after they announce shipping to work out how big a delivery they had.
 
God I am so done with Overclockers after all this. The wait isn't the bad bit, it's the complete lack of communication from them. Even a "Sorry, no news" every day would be better than this. Pathetic.
 
I am number 16 in the Zotac queue from the competitor screenshot. I spoke to them yesterday and spoke to a really nice guy who completely got the situation. He said I could move to Palit or PNY and get to the front of the queue but he said its just a gamble on whichever cards come in next. I have stayed with Zotac currently but they said I can call anytime to swap, answered the phone within a few minutes as well.
