I would hang fire until i actually have the cards in my hands. As I found out Yesterday couriers and suppliers can and make a mess of things.

I feel your pain Fatboy - I worked in retail [and corporate IT support - same problems with the money changing hands between us and self important department heads...] long enough to know that when things go wrong with deliveries and couriers, they normally go wrong at the worst possible point.
Still, you seem to be making a good fist of a bit situation, keep it up.
It's so difficult as I could sell 1000's of these cards and with the allocation so tight this is where the problems begin. IT would be a lot easier if there was a lot of product.
The date for the 5850's or the 5870's? I just ordered a PowerColor 5870 around 10 mins ago. What are the chances I get it tomorrow?
Yep, you seem to be doing your best Fatboy. I do appreciate that.
I will let you know at 12 today the cards are schedule for delivery on DHL. As soon as see them I will let you know.

Give it a few weeks, prioduction will rampt up, supply lines will ease and things will free up - which I'm sure you know
Had similar issues rolling out literally hot-out-the-factory HP dekstops - they allocated us 600, promised us 150 in a month but only delivered 20 a week for the first five weeks - we could install all of those in the space of a day.
Was interesting explaining to the head of finance that he had paid several grand for fresh air.
Then three hundred turned up at once, which was a bloody relief...
Awesome. I must admit, though I've been ordering from you guys for years, I've never really frequented the boards much, since the phone services were always efficient enough. But it's very cool you give your customers up-to-date information in this way on these boards.
Fingers crossed the couriers don't mess up the order. Love to have this baby in my rig tomorrow!
hmmm is it 2 late to change to the 5870 for friday? might treat myself to the bigger bother.... had the powercolor 5850 on order since 9am wednesday
Not too late Just not changing anything until i can see the stock in my hands.
Hi Fatboy, can I order it now and it get for tomorrow? Thanks
I'm a compulsive buyer no good

Waiting for the stock to arrive. Once I can touch them I will confirm 100% your delivery for tomorrow.
can i get a straight answer on my order fatboy if you dont mind, i seem to be getting dismissed each time and franctly not too pleased.
i ordered the 5850 powercolor at 8.30am on launch day, it said 10+ instock, i got it changed to sapphire as i heard these are in on monday next week anyway.
when will the 5850 sapphire be in stock? im not waiting longer then wednesday next week.
what comes bundled with the 5850 sapphire, is it different bundle to other brands?
what is the difference in the brands?
if there is no difference in the sapphire to the powercolor, please swap it back so i get it monday.
Cheers

Powercolor are 100% confirmed for Wednesday to us the stock is on it 's way.
I have not seen a sapphire 5850 yet but presume it will come with Dirt2 and another game of some description but will update the site once I get one.
There is no difference at all in any of the cards as they are reference design just maybe come with a different software bundle.
No stock as Already mentioned in the thread for 5850 is arriving until Wednesday.
Edit; and it just went up by a fiver too I see. Oh dear OcUK, what's going on?!
Price has been the same since launch no price movement at all.
