i waited 3 weeks, you can wait tooPlaced my order this morning at 11:19 when CPU was in stock not pre-order and paid for next day delivery but not received any notification of shipping yet.
Thanks for the helpful comment, but The CPU was in stock available for next day delivery which I paid for it should therefore be delivered the next day!i waited 3 weeks, you can wait too
You paid for next working day delivery, that is a DPD service not an OCUk service 99% of the time OCUK get the orders out the door on day of order (if in stock) but at times like these with crazy CPU launch ansd Black Friday, sometimes you may have to wait the extra day for OCUKL to despatch. Its just the way it isThanks for the helpful comment, but The CPU was in stock available for next day delivery which I paid for it should therefore be delivered the next day!
Had I pre-ordered or placed an order knowing it wasn’t available or a wait was to be expected then I would be happy to wait.
It’s not that I don’t sympathise with how busy the business is but it is OCUK offering the service, in my instance the order page said the following “Want your order tomorrow the 29th of November? Order within the next 3hrs 40 mins with next working day (mon-fri DPD) for UK mainland delivery.You paid for next working day delivery, that is a DPD service not an OCUk service 99% of the time OCUK get the orders out the door on day of order (if in stock) but at times like these with crazy CPU launch ansd Black Friday, sometimes you may have to wait the extra day for OCUKL to despatch.

Yurp. Managed to order it during that little bug earlier this week and yet ppl who ordered today are getting theres ship'd already? Bit disapointing if so.still nothing and i ordered it on 7/11 at 14:30 yet people are getting it tomorrow that ordered yesterday or today that makes no sense
You can upgrade. But now that your order is through let it work it way through the system. By changing the delivery you may lose your place in the queue or whatnot as so many people are after one they are under siege.When I was placing my order on the 27th, I wasnt able to select any other delivery means other that Royal mail Standard 5 day delivery. I wouldnt mind paying extra to have DPD deliver instead - is it possible to upgrade the delivery?
I am kinda in like limbo now that mine is on its way. The frustration the ooohhhhs and ahhhs while waiting for that elusive email. Now that it's here its like Meh. For me it was all about the chase. Now where's the 9950x3D and 5090 pre order?Got the DPD email today. Ordered on the 8th. Thanks @Gibbo and OCUK team for making it happen in time for the holidays!
Thanks as well to the community here for keeping things interesting during the supply crisis. It was a pleasure waiting it out with you fine people
Now on to the long grind for the 5090...
It just never ends does it. It’s always the next big thing. I’m upgrading from a 3700x though so I think the 9800x3d and 5090 combo should satiate my greed for the next 5 years at least.I am kinda in like limbo now that mine is on its way.

if you are upgrading from a 3700x and whatever card you are using atm then it will seem like a huge leap in performance. I am more than sure you will be happy with it for many years.It just never ends does it. It’s always the next big thing.
