Nice. A few of us had dispatch notices today. I have dpd is notiFied, but not received yet. Makes sense. Due for delivery Wednesday.

Haven't had a dispatch notice yet but fingers crossed tomorrow. Will be a nice step up.

I've had my dispatch notice too

When I ordered, it did say delivery Wednesday, fingers crossed, it may come a little earlier!

I can assure you, in this batch, I've got the faulty one. I'm unlucky like that, so lucky you, we bought at the same time.

You may have the faulty one but at least you will know straight away.. i have to bleed and dismantle my hard line loop before i can use my 3080, so it'll suck more for me if/once start replacing everything after and the 3080 wont turn on. Fingers crossed

So is it someone that is just screenscraping the website then pushing an alert?

No I think it's basically a bot that will check the site and as soon as links go live it pings a link to anyone in the group.

Had a 3080 FE in the bag, payment refused... I'm on holiday (Mallorca), assume that's the problem, was looking forward to unpacking when I got home... It'll be a 4080 at this rate!

And they make you play on Ironman, if the payment doesn't go through, thanks for playing, we deleted your shopping basket for you. Not like anyone had another credit card or something.

Telegram is just a whatsapp clone. You basically join a chat group (FE Partalert group) that pings the direct links to the page to buy the card, thats all it is really.

It's actually superior to Whatsapp, Telegram is not tied to your phone number so you can run it on your laptop, desktop PC, tablet.. Just to make sure you get that ping on whatever device is closest.

Well yeah but the phone app is basically a re-skin of WhatsApp

Grats on all that got their FE’s today

hope they are all awesome! Managed to get an order in too, just keeping fingers crossed now…

Sounds like there was a big drop of 3080FE today. Bigger than usual across the board?

Managed to grab a 3080Ti Founders edition during a drop today. - HUKD alert.

How have you configured the HUKD alert? I've looked through the android app and couldn't see anything.

I set the alert on the mobile site but not sure if that will carry through to the phone?

keenan · 13 Sep 2021 at 23:40

Does anyone think the 3060 Ti will drop on its own at a later date or was it skipped this time around due to low supply levels?

Do yourself a favour and install telegram app and join this group https://pa.function.workers.dev/tg/rtxfe

HUKD isnt fast enough for alerts only reason someone got the 3080ti is because it was instock for hours and not minutes unlike other models

Yeah I was already signed up to that, but didn't get a bell notification on my phone until a couple hours later bizarrely.

Probably phone issue or setting , that group is probably the fastest getting the drop alert was today also

My parcel is at the Stoke depot! Unless dpd sit on it it should be delivered today!

Interestingly in the dpd app and site there is no mention of planned delivery day like I normally see.

When I had my 3070FE delivered it was very rushed process/delayed updates - I didn't get the shipping notification until the early hours or something and DPD delivery status didn't update until the last minute, etc.

I think they get a bit overwhelmed by the way they go out in bursts.

Yeah. Seems like it.

Proper scam that they charge postage for these cards and not others.

Half expecting it to be delivered to day. It's at the delivery depot. Next hour will confirm I guess.
