yeah scalpers or anyone that puts a premium on something thats more than £100 the value of the product are in my books scum of the world.

Import delays at ports.

Something for @vapor matt to read and digest.
May lower the rage mode slightly.

Before you talk about air freight let me assure you if a business can send something on a 6 week boat trip they will choose this as the shipping costs are dramatically different.

Either way air freight or shipping by boat. Customs and access to ports and holding areas is going to be problematic during lockdown.

:D there's no rage mode lol, but i doubt very much there are 10's of thousands of AMD cpu's in that lot. shipping containers are for large volume goods, plus the whole of the EU has no 5000 series CPU's so unless all the ports are blocked across the EU
I dont think the UK's supply of Ryzen is in there. but still a poor show but port authorities, they maybe full of PlayStation 5's and the new Xbox though :p

Actually packaging is narrower for the ones without the cooler ;)

I was disgusted by the packaging on mine!

The cpu is literally right up against the side of the box, with a small bit of plastic covering it to make a window. Nothing else.
Why use such a big box, and NOT put the cpu in the middle where its more protected
 
I know people arent happy with OC raising their prices but has anyone seen the prices on that rainforest site? Just for laughs I did a search for a 5800x and the sellers there go up to £960 :eek: If thats not scalping I don't know what is.
 
The price is in the hands of the buyers, all we need to do is "NOT BUY THEM AT STUPID PRICES" and the price will drop, as long as idiots in this world are happy to pay twice the RRP people will go on Scalping.
Companies should make it very hard for Bots too, but I guess as long as they sell well they don't give a sh** who buys them :(
 
Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere amungst the 165 pages, is there an eta for the 5600 preorders? I'm putting a pc together for my brother for Christmas, ordered all the parts from ocuk including a 5600 yesterday, hoping that everything will be here in time.

Just hope I can snag a 6800xt as well, I don't have much faith in that though if it is anything like the 30xx release.
