    Haven't posted in a bit, I noticed a discount on the site for 3080s but from above costs are going up? What gives?

    I was one of those people. You overlook the utility provided by knowing by knowing you where in a queue, any queue. It obviously was something people found valuable. You also overlook that for the best part of the year people knowingly remained in the queue even with warnings fulfilment of...

    Shruggo, it's very evocative language. Bad Faith, Ripped off. One user talked about suing. It's simply not fair to OCUk. Words matter and sorry but not sorry for pulling folks up when they throw around terms. It's actually disgraceful the level of ingratitude, the alternative was no pre-orders...

    I'm usually reluctant to argue with people on the internet. People are free to feel what they want. If you believe OCuk was a faithless actor by accepting pre orders then why did you not cancel your order once the company made it clear that they would never have sufficient stock? Do you have a...

    Yes, but there is no deception. At all times people have the choice to back out and get a refund. It's like being ripped because you're paying for one thing and getting another but at the end of the day the consumer is fully aware of what they are ultimately paying for. Nothing is being miss...

    Shrug. Ripped off implies it's not a supply and demand issue. I'm not sure who on the chain is making the money, it certainly isn't retailers like OCUk

    Ripped off probably isn't the right word. All my life when you buy hardware you had to live with the reality that in a few months or even weeks you'd be able to buy something better for less. The last 18 months have been like a property bubble for GPUs where you can rapidly end up with a...

    Ah here, don't be backtracking now, you need to double down on taking them to court. I'm not sure you're aware but your post constituted a written contract between you and all other posters as per the Goods and Services Act 1998. Cancellation of said contract could result in a court case, but...

    I said a few pages back I would post back: My Asus 3080 TUF OC TI landed. I've opened the box but will not have an opportunity to install it until the weekend. Customs charge was 342 euro, plus DHL had a 14.50 admin charge. I'd forgotten about the extra cables I'd ordered so that explains the...

    I'd expect to pay 320 euro in Vat. The Strix is more expensive than the TUF OC. It works out about 150 euro cheaper than buying from OCuk sister site in Germany. These cards are expensive at the moment.

    We both live in Ireland. computer parts are zero rated for custom duty. Vat is exactly the same as what you would have been charged by OCuk as they charged Irish customers Irish Vat. I'll post back exactly what I was charged by DHL in terms of Tax.

    I've a long running thread with customer service due to Brexit. My email was due this week so It just came forward a bit. Tbh I doubt folks will be snapping the hand off them. The discount is moderate but welcome.

    I originally bought the OC. It's a bit mad. At the time I held off buying the 3080 at launch waiting a couple months to get the spare cash together and for third party cards to be available. Boy was that a mistake. I don't even game, I'm getting it for the tensor cores.

    I went with the Asus 3080 TUF TI upgrade in the end. Queue position 140 something. It's been a journey. No online retailer wishes to do mass cancelations. There was a chap in Ireland sourcing cards via discord. I stuck with OCuk due to their reputation, that is all.

    Sorry, what is the latest status of Pre-orders, I'm 142 on an Asus GeForce RTX 3080 TUF. Are people being offered comparable cards?
