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

Have been #1 on the MSI Gaming X Trio for about three weeks, and just received notification this morning that my order has shipped :D

Strange though that there's been no official post on the update thread yet? Can't say I'm complaining!

You lucky thing! Hope you enjoy your card when it arrives
 
I'd nearly take you up on that offer boss we'd get them way quicker that way considering overclockers aren't offering any updates whatsoever other than the usual oh yeah it'll be another two weeks spiel
Then you'd probably be charged VAT again at the port. The situation isn't simple to resolve. Between changing the way that all of our systems handle VAT, gathering country of origin and commodity codes for nearly 10,000 products and working out a way with DPD for them to accept this data & DPD deciding that they wanted to redesign the shipping labels, there's a lot that needed doing before we can move on to the next stage, which would be manually dealing with every order that was shipped and returned to us. We can't legally ship goods until these are resolved. After all, do you think we enjoy not being able to ship goods to a significant chunk of our usual customer base?
 
Right, forget it. you asked for an update, I told you where we were right now.
Don't moan at me if I ignore your questions from now on.

FYI, our systems are all bespoke, in house written at the moment, we can't rely on SAGE, SAP, Oracle etc to fix issues for us.

We have a simple solution, which would be to cancel every affected order, we could have done that weeks ago, but I'm sure you'd rather us work on the more complex solution.

if not, feel free to request cancellation: https://forms.gle/KewUKDD7fQMu1div5

Legally, there literally only two options, wait for our IT team to fix it or cancel the order.

and yes, the grumpy old man has gotten his rocking chair out again

Lucky you! Hopefully, MSI will come through with some Ventus 3080's soon

As ScottiB said, they can't legally avoid customs duties for direct shipments, but (and I don't know if this would hold water), if you trusted someone UK side to receive the GPU, then they gifted it to you (i.e. value of £0.00), could they send it on and declare it zero value for duty/VAT purposes.

After all, it would be second-hand at this point and we all know old GPUs are basically e-waste ;););)
 
you've hit one of the nails square on the head there. The UK is now it's own WEEE region. Which is why everything we export now needs to have country of origin and commodity code declarations.

We are legally required to have the VAT and WEEE declarations correct before we can start shipping overseas again

Raise your hand if you sniggered at “WEEE”. :p
 
Getting to the point where thinking of calling it a day and selling all my PC components....Now 11 weeks since started RMA on my 3080 and not been able to use PC at all. Looks like lockdown might end before get a replacement and frankly I intend to spend as much time down the pub and out the house as soon as we are allowed.... Glad was lucky enough to get the new consoles to make up for the Zotac "$£$%%.

Just had a note my RMA replacement has fixed, really hope this one is solid.....be great to have my PC back for first time this year.
