AMD 9800X3D ETA OFFICIAL THREAD

Are the 300 due to you today, going be shipped by yourselves today too?

Depends on time of arrival if they land this AM we stand a good chance to ship all 300 but if they land in afternoon then it will be a struggle. We requested a pre 10 delivery and paid extra for it but does not mean it will necessary happen.
 
Hi there

Just back from a lovely Italian lunch. :)

Yes our pre 10am delivery arrived after 12, goodsin have now manage to book those in and they are now shipping, we hope to ship all 300 today but with the later than expected delivery not all of them may go out today.
DO NOT CALL US, do not change your orders as your more likely to create an issue with your order and it not ship out at all.

We have a further 80 units due Monday and a further 50 units due Wednesday, so those of you who don't get a shipment notification today there is a very strong chance you shall do next week especially if you placed an order pre 14:30, there will also be some orders beyond this time shipping as well no doubt.as that will be around 600 we would have taken delivery off and shipped out by end of next week, so look good and maybe a little ahead of schedule. :)
 
Hi there

We are still expecting 50 more this week, I think we are now transitioning into wave 2 orders on the majority. :)

I suspect wave 2 won't be completed until AROUND 1st week of December.
By mid December we should be into Wave 3 and if all goes to plan we do hope to clear the lot, fingers crossed, but its not a guarantee we are still at the mercy of AMD and the shipping gods.
 
Is this batch a pre midday shipment aim again or anytime before 6? Just trying to gauge the chance of my 14:18 being delivered before the weekend via RM.

Seems a lot PayPal orders after are getting shipped so I'd hope mine is tomorrow, I don't think the pick order is going as you originally thought, might be something to try and expose in the future if you guys ever get the time as while you update regularly on here (thanks) it still sucks a bit seeing those with later orders getting shipped when all data on the face of it says it shouldn't.
(Bit of a selfish view and first world problem I admit! It's the point of preorders though, to lock a position in queue).

Thanks for the update either way.

Any time before 6 as we paid £372 exc. VAT for them, so £3 profit a CPU, so an actual loss with overheads factored in.
They have cost more as I got them from a none master distributor but for us it is important to clear orders if we make a small loss it does not matter.

Those 50 are now due tomorrow.
 
Hi there

As mentioned last week, we are expecting 150 this week, most likely tomorrow or Wednesday. :)

When they land I shall post in this thread.

Due to issues over weekend with the CPU putting pre-order back up, the only fix so far is to totally remove the processor from the website, hence why its no longer listed at all.
 
UPDATE (26/11/2024):

First of all thank you to all of those who have patiently waited who were confident to pre-order with OcUK.
I have managed to pull some strings and as such on the 150 units we are expecting have just arrived and at end of this week we should also receive an additional 700 units, so that is 850 units this week, this will CLEAR ALL PRE-ORDERS. Now unfortunately since launch two things have happened, margin has increased at distribution (due to lack of supply) and the pound has weakened from 1.30 at launch down to 1.26 last week and this week, the result is we are losing money, but all the pre-orders shall be honoured at the purchase price.

Unfortunately new orders will have to be at a higher price, we are a business and as such need to make a profit and not a loss, as such the price has increased, until supply improves vastly the price won't come down much, we have tried to keep the increase minimal and as such priced it just above the 7800X3D which is also experiencing a major shortage at the moment.

We expect stock and supply to improve late January next year, as such the price with better supply, distribution will reduce margin and be more competitive, we can also hope the pound might pickup but I doubt this as Trump elect will further strengthen US economy and no doubt make the USD stronger against other currencies, but hopefully margins at distribution level will drop and if supply is ample we can also reduce margin as well. :)

Good work to all those who got one at MSRP, it is nearly 1500 of you, well done. :)

Once we have cleared the back orders we will consider putting the product back on the website and available to order.

DO NOT CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR UPDATES OR CHANGING YOUR ORDER, JUST BE PATIENT AND WAIT PLEASE, YOU SHOULD GET YOUR ORDER THIS WEEK, ALL OF YOU WHO PRE-ORDERED. :)

Definitively lessons learned for the 5090 presale

Yes!
Pre-order using OcUK check out with payment via a debit/credit card. This is your best chance of getting pre order high demand product the fastest.

Avoid using Paypal, Amazon and finance for sure risk OcUK receiving payment later than the customer placing the order and thus lowering you in the queue.
 
Hey Gibbo,

My 9800x3d is delayed as I'm waiting for a x870e nova to come back in which is in the same order. This board seems almost as difficult to come by as a 9800x3d. Do you know when overclockers will get these in?

Thanks for all you do with forum updates.

Don't deal with motherboards sorry, just CPU, RAM and GPU.

Best to contact CS.
 
Gibbo, "We should have stock left over to put product back on sale but as explained in earlier post they shall be priced higher."
us mere mortals will have a chance? any rough idea on these going back up on site to order or pre?

This afternoon in a few minutes I shall open up pre-orders and will monitor sales, if the order button disappears because we don't want to sell more than we can provide before Christmas.
