Seems I have a warm reception awaiting me!
Firstly I'd like to say that any criticism aimed at OcUK/Andrew is totally unjustified. From what I can see he has been giving up to date, correct information.
Stock of the RIVBE has been very, very limited (Captain Obvious), not just to OcUK, but everywhere in the UK and the rest of Europe as matter of fact.
I'm going to inquire to see what the latest on this situation is and let you all know asap. Apologies for the frankly abysmal levels of stock available.
Totally unacceptable if im honest, you can ship lots of motherboard to USA and AUS but hardly any to the UK...? Newegg just had a shipment a few days ago of 500 both to its American and Canadian store. There was also many more units allocated to Europe than there are to the UK, what the reasons for Boycotting the UK, i would like to hear them....?
Yet there only coming into the UK in batches of less than 10 units? Thats unacceptable and the only reason for this is that Asus simply do not care about the UK market compared to other parts of the world.
Many people on here have contacted Asus constantly on Facebook,Twitter, Official Website and NOTHING is heard. Its as if Asus just dont care, well thats fine cause myself and many others will take our business elsewhere.
Just because you have come in here and said a few words dont does not make things OK. People have had these boards on pre-order since September and OCUK have been asking you for 100 units of stock but you have failed to provide. Yet you can send over 1000 units to the USA and AUS. You have also failed to send any board to any other UK retailer apart from OCUK, why is this? It seems to me that you simply dont give a damn about the UK.
I really hope EVGA bring out a killer board for Haswell -E and now that Shamino will be going from Asus i can only see things going down hill from here for Asus, i mean your customer and RMA service is not great and your only adding nails to your coffin by what has happened here.
Infact i will be posting this thread over at the EVGA forum so they are aware that many customers are not happy with Asus so they can take advantage of it.
Its Christmas and many people want to have one of these boards for xmas and youve basically let them all down especially people who have pre-ordered for months.
Major fail by Asus, im sorry but everything i have said is true and it needs somebody to speak the truth and put the facts across.
Regards.
