I have recently been spending out on a new CPU, a new PSU, new memory, new fancy cooler fan (All modest amounts, total about £500) and not a penny of it with OC. My objection isn't just that I personally feel that the information provided at launch was inaccurate - I can forgive them that. But what happened next is the worst customer service I've ever had from anywhere. But...even that, I can deal with. But I am really not happy with the continuation of pre-orders with the following, false pre-order bait on their website - even with a queue number, without trawling this forum, they will unlikely know that even if you're 10th - it could still be months before you get your card....let alone high 1,000's!

I'd love it if somewhere else in UK just gets a massive shipment of 1000s of cards. So EVERYONE here can cancel and get them from elsewhere. And oc loose all pre orders. I can guarantee once that gets back to headoffice or shareholders owners. Someone else in the future will do a better job like daily lengthy and tables stating stuff. And it be handled much better. Then Gibbo can do something else because customer support and relations really isn't for him.

You know, I'm not mad at the no info anymore, or the fact they have my money so I can't even attempt to buy elsewhere.
I'm mad that everywhere else knows what and when they are getting, weeks in advance and seem to be getting way more cards than here.
I feel like Gibbo should stop posting in cars and stock threads when he should be working and help us out a little.
There's no one on the customers side in this place anymore EVH and space monkey have been replaced by stanners, I suspect for trying to get information for us, the paying customers, the ones that pay for the forum and their shops wages.
The answer to why 3 xtremes arrived and only 1 shipped, it's probably the same reason why a shipment of gigabyte gaming came in and no one got one.

The problem everybody seems to be getting at now is how is it other retailers can provide day to day updates when OCUK have no info at all? Other retailers seem to be getting these updates daily, what stock they are getting a week in advance and expected dates. Looking at a specific website here they knew they are getting 305 cards in this week of various AIB's with expected dates yet OCUK dont seem to have a clue how many they are getting. OCUK seem to be unable to get this information until 24 hours before the delivery but other retailers have this info a week in advance. (or OCUK do know and just purposefully withholding that information from us until 24 hours before they are due).
But you know.......

Everybody waiting for that imaginary drop!
Well given the situation and people's feelings about what's going on it'll at least show some professionalism and concern towards customers, and will help keep anxiety / annoyance minimised.
A statement about any or no current confirmed shipments.
Followed by the numbers of current unfulfilled and fulfilled orders for each card.

The info needs to be accurate too. We've seen cards shipped out that wasn't even reported as being received etc. It's a shambles. Of course, more or less info doesn't mean the card will get to me any faster, I know that, but it's an inconsistent shambles that isn't improving (although there was an Epic effort for 1 day last week).
The promised web update for those not trawling the forums, hasn't been updated since the 12th of October too:

Well, if you mass-produce GPU's which are slower than AMD's then you will see people returning said GPU's back and that is a net loss, if you withhold your GPU supply, you avoid the distribution and manufacturing costs associated with producing a GPU that few people want, because AMD's GPU is faster (ignoring features like DLSS & Raytracing)
How many Nvidia RTX 3000 GPU's will be produced is determined by how much demand will swing towards AMD, once Nvidia figures out the "real" demand for their GPU's, they will adjust the supply to meet that demand. At the moment, Nvidia don't know this demand until AMD shows what they've got so that customers can make up their minds on which card they're going to pick.

I think we will only know the real reason of the shortages or whatever this is in months to come. It’s not just heavy demand.
