AMD X2 4600 Socket 939: Delayed!!

Gibbo · 25 Jul 2006 at 12:58

Hi there

The large quantity of X2 4600 Socket 939 CPU's we were expecting today are still in Belgium.

The distributor had not made preparations in its warehouse to cope with extra demand which resulted in none of the stock shipping last night.

I am pulling my hair out, because so many of you have ordered these and all these mistakes and delays been caused by manufacturers and distributors is giving me real stress. I literally could shoot a few people right now.

The stock is leaving Belgium with UPS now on a pre noon delivery to arrive with ourselves.

What this means is that people waiting for X2 4600's on socket 939 won't get their orders until Thursday and as the first delivery is only 100 units means only half the backorders will ship.

Were hoping to recieve a further 200 X2 4600's on Friday and fighting to find stock but the fact is AMD don't produce socket 939 processors any more and its proving difficult.

If stock situation does not improve then I forsee prices will start to increase rapidly and between both Intel and AMD they really managed to annoy me this week and upset many of our customers.

Unlucky gibbo

Atleast your being honest with your customers and telling us the truth

Only the ones that read the forums

Its a shame, but nothing can be done about it... Other than giving them hell on the phone.

Does this mean that if you haven't already received an email advising that your order has shipped, that you won't get it until at least Thursday ? Or will some actually ship today that didn't make it in time yesterday ?

Good questions.
I ordered pretty much as soon as the pricedrops occured (hour or two in it at most) and mine is still showing as not printed at the warehouse...

Not a big deal, but as you say its first come first served I would like to think it would be with me sooner rather than later...

Hi there

No orders will ship today as there is no stock to ship out from warehouse.

Im feeling for u guys, got mine luckily today. With all the dramatic price cuts I think we all knew that demand would outweigh initial availabilty.
At least the good man is keeping u all updated over the situation

Dutch Guy · 25 Jul 2006 at 15:01

Gibbo, is this only related to 4600's and not the 3800's and 4200's ???

HI there

We certainly hope so.

I found some more stock today in Denmark so got all that ordered up too. Have literally emptied the UK and anywhere I found in Europe with stock.

Basically most distributors have under estimated demand but reassure myself they can get more stock for next week.

sunderland · 25 Jul 2006 at 15:43

i dont really want to have a go but they shouldnt of said they were in stock if they didnt know if they were going to have enough for people who ordered them.and took there money

Roughneck · 25 Jul 2006 at 15:44

still cant believe I orderd one on thursday and its now going to be a full week before I get one brilliant :rolleyes:
