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

+1 Fully agreed.

Most competitors are posting and/or emailing daily updates, and even if all they're saying is 'the orders haven't come in yet' at least the customers know what's happening and feel valued for spending their hard-earned money on a high value item that hasn't materialised yet. They feel valued and feel like the retailer is doing everything they can to secure the product and get it shipped out to the customer. A certain competitor even goes so far as to explain that a shipment didn't come in because of a problem with the air freight logistics, and the same competitor is calling up customers to offer alternatives to what they're waiting for. That sort of customer service gets rewarded tenfold. A couple of years ago I considered that competitor to be inferior to OCUK, but after this I know that they're far more deserving of my money.

Agreed I had planned on buying my 5900x from OCUK but how terribly they have handled this I ordered from that competitor instead
OCUK need to change their ways if they're ever going to get my money again
 
three days later, still no update on what the ASUS rep said about giving information to OCUK about estimated deliveries for TUF cards, in order for them to be passed on to us.

i don't think it's too much to ask OCUK whether or not they've even recieved this info, and if they have, why hasn't it been passed on yet?

i had naively hoped that the ASUS rep being on here signalled a re-establishment of regular communication, but again we're back to radio silence.

I've been checking 10 different sites a day for the 3080, I almost cracked last night and ordered a 3090, it seems they're everywhere right now and I'd rather spend the extra than resort to scalpers for a 3080, my problem is I'm watercooling and I have to buy a waterblock as well and there's only so many cards that have compatible blocks right now and ofcourse the one 3080 I can get hold of right now the MSI Trio X doesn't have a block ready,

it's like just when I see an end to this nightmare another road block pops up.

I'm legit about to do this and buy a new PSU. I'm tired of waiting on OCUK after 2 months I just want a decent GPU ready for Cyberpunk. If we don't get an update by end of the day with decent stock based on the queue I'm in I'm going with another company. Sad because I had hoped this wouldn't have been such a mess.

The Asus rep on here is not on here a great deal..He kinda comes and goes for weeks on end
 
I can't help but agree with Jaycob, if there is no news by the end of the day then I will likely cancel my entire £3500+ order which I am sure they will miss.

I don't know how you got that logic from what I posted. They don't have to post stock updates and haven't disclosed why there haven't been any this week. That doesn't mean no cards have shipped.

If they ship cards, people post about dispatch emails in here, none seen this week hence none dispatched unless the odd one to a person not on forum, considering they got cards in yesterday where are the dispatches now.
