Sorry, but what exactly do you expect OCUK to do?

Cosimo · 5 Dec 2013 at 14:50

I expect to get what ive paid for, I haven't so the only thing I can do is write a review about my experiences as a consumer, do you honestly think that after the huge wait and constant let downs id write an awesome glowing review?

Martini1991 · 5 Dec 2013 at 15:28

But if there's no stock, what exactly do you want them to do?
You're giving them grief, and there's sod all they can do.

Giving them a negative review for something that's entirely out of their control is not a reasonable response.
OCUK have been storming the UK this year, the chances are you're going to struggle to get the board elsewhere too, and possibly wait even longer as you'll be put at the back of another queue.

I agree the stock issue is out of their control but they could eleviate people worries by telling them where they are in the list, and when they are likely to be able to fulfil their order,

and as for review I did say truthfull, its only negative in how your read it,

If I said, I ordered from Ocers and ASUS let them down but over clockers did everything to keep me updated as to when ill get my product ( not so negative)

If I said, I ordered for ocers and a month after their Estimated time of delivery I still hadn't received the item or had any solid date of when my order was going to be fulfilled (negative)

I was going to use the first one but both are tuthfull its just the second is more truthfull

If you want it before xmas i would wait if i was you because if you dont you will be put to the back of the queue anywhere else. What i would do is ask OCUK if you will get yours before Xmas, thats a reasonable request. I would then take it from there.

Its is a Myth, i bet there photoshopped!

scotsdragon · 5 Dec 2013 at 16:06

Andrew are you likely to get enough stock before Christmas to fullfill the remaining pre order orders?

Still a myth for me unfortunately - seems the last 2 boards are still stuck in the warehouse as I have not had an update.

Struggling to understand why they couldnt have shipped the remaining 2 boards yesterday with the rest...if that is actually what has really happened.

Hi I have managed to get registered so I can comment, I was the one that put the order in on the 2nd October, that Andrew said was down for the last board that came in.

Speaking to CS again I finally found out that the five boards that arrived and allocated looking at their list have already gone out and according to date order list they have been able to tell me this time that there are three other people waiting for the board before me (so there must have been eight orders before the end of September) and it's the usual story that they cannot tell me when they will receive the next batch, but they are suggesting I should just cancel my order if I cannot wait before Christmas.

Not sure mint8 what position you were before me could be the sixth or upto the eighth before my order but it looks as though we are going to be disappointed again...

I'm going to give asus (as I realise this issue is all their doing) a week to send out more boards if not I will cancel my order and give my allocation to someone else that needs or wants it as tbh I think I will stop with my current 4770k if this is the case and wait for the next iteration of cpu.

Andrew it would be good to double confirm at this point whether it was a mistake or not as obviously what CS told me contradicts what you have said.

Unfortunately not the initial delivery was only five boards but I don't think that was a surprise as Andrew already mentioned that earlier however I think they thought they were going to get more the next day which doesn't look like it's happened, whether that's where the error was made with the allocation of the boards not sure but it's still very unclear whether there will be anymore before Christmas.

scotsdragon · 5 Dec 2013 at 19:15

5 boards that is shocking if thats all they are getting per batch it will take months to fill the 50 pre orders
