This is why I am hanging in here. I could have snapped up a card via other sellers at the new inflated process but that seems a waste. If it was not for that I would have cashed in long ago.

Can we get a queue for the queue
This does seem a bit dodgy. They should give us vouchers back to the value of interest at the point our order is shipped.
They'd still keep the money but it lets us get 50% off postage next time we buy something or whatever lol

For anyone who purchased when the site had a few expected dates on some cards (mainly MSI I think) I think that's a fair point but that was removed pretty quickly on launch day after the craz demand and site going down it's not a great situation but forgivable.
For anyone who ordered when all it said was pre-order with no dates shown then that's on them not OC. If you want to get in a queue and hand your money over with no expected date don't blame retailers for that. It's an option, people don't have to take it. I ordered at 8pm on the 18th. I'm around 2000 in the unofficial queue, but no idea in reality where I really am like everyone else. I knew exactly what I was doing when I pre-ordered and don't expect a card before December at the very best. if I change my mind I'll get my money back.
They haven't ignored everyone either. Information has been given you just have to understand it.
We'd likely get less than a quid each lol, 5.25m * 0.1% interest which is a best-case scenario is £5250, and that 0.1% is what you get paid over a year if I'm not mistaken. That's if they even earn interest on a holding account which would be unlikely, not a dig at you mate but people really are blowing the whole earning interest thing out of proportion.
PMSL, I've got the popcorn out. Keep it coming!
You pay money, you enter a contract.
We are all owed some respect and a level of customer service that I would expect to receive from any retail outlet.
I don't know why this is so hard to accept from OCUK fanboys.

You would literally get no interest over this period of time, interest rates are also at record lows. I am not a fan of OC over this launch but to be fair, do people think they get the cards for free. They need to pay the distributors to get the stock, probably in advance due to all the competition and graphics cards are low margin like 5-10% profit (minus any price increases, but that puts it into perspective, people seem to think they get these cards for a packet of quavers)
Respect has nothing to do with it when you're a paying customer.
Ocuk share updates when they have news, so I don't know what more communication can be expected of them.

Helloooo - Long Time Lurker First Time Poster -
Has anyone who purchased from the *Competitor* yesterday spoken to them today to check if the orders are being sent out today or if it was just a fever dream we all had?
Also to all those on here that say we should sit quietly in the dark waiting for the OCUK overlords to drop us a small morsel of info to appease us like good like lap dogs ...
WHY Should we, yes we all knew that the cards would be in high demand, but why on gods green earth put ETA's on products long into launch day when you knew full well unless a 747 landed in the car park with stock to fulfill this mythical date. It took me almost 6 hours to get my order to go through, after what I would like to start the trend name going as the 'THE GREAT WEBSITE WOBBLE of 2020' And the MSI Ventus I ordered still had an ETA of 18th on it.
OC customer service has been far from stellar on this occasion ( unless I'd of started my new daily job of reading this forum I would have had 0 info from the company ) The web note I submitted got a reply of yes we did get stock on the 18th but not enough to fulfill orders we have learned from our mistake and hope to have it sorted for the next lot of fools who will give us money when the 3070 launches.
Yes, I could cancel my order and head off into the wilderness again if I'm not happy as the OCUK defense force has told us all to do if we do not like being lied to or at very best falsy advertised to.
I do understand Stock is very low across the world, but they are still selling these cards with 0 info available to new customers and for the foolhardy bunch who have already added money to the OCUK new Ferrari fund we have almost 0 useful info, surely they know when stock leaves China for the UK ( I do when I place my orders from china I get told they will be with you in 2 months and that's direct info from my supplier of paper in China ) I find it very hard to see that they do not have a very rough idea of right a shipment of MSI has been put on a plane and were getting 100 of them on Tuesday for example.
But anyway..... enough of a rant... I'm sure I will be shot down now by the OCUK defense force but as I say a little customer service goes a long way in appeasing the mob and may lighten there workload answering web notes and phone calls from the new OCUK Ferrari fund benefactors.
As I say long time lurker first-time moaner

Only thing they don't get any interest there. The account is just business holding account. As they need the money to be always on, in case of shipments and order cancellations. And bank's won't allow you to just move large amount of money from regular account to savings account and back.
Yes, they've been saying it for over a week.

All I know is once my card ships Ill bid this thread adieu and so will everyone else.
OCUK will hopefully have this all forgotten about.
Next time any seller hopefully will have the proper ordering systems in place to stop it from happening again including NVidia and their super tight treatment of NDA/releases/poor launch dates.
