thats pretty obnoxious, they really don't know and you wanted to pick one up today LOL how about joining the queue.
All 5870's are now sold. And it is true the best way to get one is order one for shop collection. They are selling that quickly it really is the only way to get one.

I find it remarkable that you found the forums and registered to post your whine, yet along the way didn't manage to find the OCUK site, where it says PRE ORDER in nice blue letters alongside every 5870 card they sell.
Shame you didn't find your manners either.

Does anyone know how OCUK's stock inventory system works? I placed this order for a Powercolor 5970. At the time I placed the order, there were 5 in stock. By the time my order changed status to "In warehouse queue", there were 4 in stock. Now there are none in stock, but my order status is still "in warehouse queue". So, did i actually get allocated one? Is OCUK's inventory actually real time?

I changed my order from an Asus 5870 to the Sapphire Vapor-X at about 10:30 ish this morning (5 in stock). Order status was "Printed in our warehouse" within 5 minutes of putting the phone down, then it changed back to "In our warehouse queue". Stock dropped down to 4. The guy on the phone asked if I'd like it delivered tomorrow, so that leads me to believe I've got one. The order statuses are confusing though.
Edit: and it's just literally changed back to Printed xD

Excuse me ? I registered ages ago - and yes its my first post. However the cards were advertised this morning as available in the latest news section.
Powercolor & Sapphire ATI Radeon 5 Series Graphics Cards in stock and shipping today. The fastest graphics cards on the planet featuring DirectX 11 support, ATI Eyefinity technology and full HDCP support.
Stock is severly limited and are sure to sell out fast.
I called the sales line - spent around 15 mins being charged to wait in a que (10p per min landline) to then not be given much help by a sales person who didnt know the stock level and didnt want to find out for me.
Get your facts correct before have a go, and as you seem so keen on manners - do I get an apology from you?
i can vouch for you coz when i registered 2 weeks ago, it took the admin a couple days to validate my account...

Next time just press 'order'.
Dude - thats what I tried to do - but I didnt want to order if there was no stock, the sales person couldnt tell me if there was stock, so I didnt want to order then turn up to collect nothing.

I don't see the problem with using the store on the site to order it, especially as it gives you the stock levels there. Let's say there's 1 left in stock and you order, and someone ordered 5 seconds before you, the sales team on the phone could tell you.
If the order was then a pre-order, which you didn't want to wait for, OCuk would give you back your money asap.

I don't know why you are all giving him a hard time, it sounds reasonable to me.
OCUK do offer a collect from the store option.
He sees one in stock in the web site and phones to say I want to come in and pick it up, what is so unreasonable about that!
If you placed your order on the site when showing stock you will get stock. All need to do is wait for the confirmation to collect the order. Sorry if we have mis led you in anyway. I am trying to manage the whole allocation thing I have a lot of sapphire cards in over teh next few days so If I were I would put an order on now and you will get one for sure when the next batch is delivered.
fatboy, if there wont be any asus 5850's b4 the christmas holidays, could u please allocate me a sapphire one & amend the order?
