Well to be honest that's what it costs for us to ship to the UK too, and compared to some prices in other european countries there is a very good reason to buy from OC.

Excellent! Thank you very muchly Sir Gibbo.

I shop at said retailer and have spent around £1000 in the last month alone purely for that offer. I'm sure many other people are the same.

i find it becomes most usefull when all you want is something like a small non heavy heatsink, or even when your just after a tube of thermal paste!

Couldnt OC do a weight calculated shipping cost, and under a certain weight you get it free? obviously would be a little difficult to work out, but if done right it could be good

I bought Grid, can I have a free GPU please?

Sounds like good stuff

Its nice to have people from the shop telling you whats going on in a relaxed manner, if you asked another big E-tailor what there doing to improve the business you'd probably get a reply worded with as many big words as possible and as bluntly as possible

Why make things stupidly complicated. You have a goal and you need a way to get there. Why spend time making it so you need a translator at both ends to work out what you are doing.

The support side of the company is now industry leading and with our new testing department we have the capacity and ability to do quality component test each and every time on returned items.

We have made a lot of internal tweaks to make the whole company more customer focused in the service we are able to provide, you can actually now know what is going on where before it was like most etailors and clouded in mystery! Just phone us up and we can provide you a very accurate status update on any order or return; down to who is currently holding your order in our warehouse or who is testing your graphics card.

So much more to come in the future, all I can say is watch this space.

Our shipping is done under weight "bands" at the moment, each product adds weight and the price goes up according to this.

lol I like your thinking!!!

 

[willhub]

Hmmm.

I am confused.

Am I not able to get a free copy of GRID? I bought my 4870 a couple weeks ago from OcUK, emailed Gibbo with address and everything including order number and he has not got back to me, I emailed him at like 10pm last night.

I guess that means I aint getting one if he aint replied? Or is he using forums due to high volume of emails he will be getting spammed with?

 

[carrot1401]

Guessing from the post from Gibbo above, and that I haven't had a reply either, I think he's being clever and just using the forum!

 

[Yewen]

Hi guys,

We have sold 1000's of this graphics card, all Gibbo is doing is printing the emails out and giving them to members of the team who are then putting a copy of the game in a envelope after verifying the claim.

It has required several refills of the purchasing teams printer just for requests of the game, there are not enough hours in the day to reply to all of the emails!

Fan mail is fine too, we all like a bit of that.

 

[willhub]

Since I replied last night you think I'll get a copy? Sounds like insane amounts have allready gone though.

If I get this copy of GRID for free you can have as much fan mail from me as you like .

 

[Marky]

Damn... can you hold one copy for me for when I purchase the 4870x2 next week

 

[Ace Modder]

Who says the 4870X2 is out next week?

 

[Moorron]

Lovely idea Gibbo.

I was winging to the missus at my luck (well more like laughing it off) and then when i sneaked on at work this morning i see the offer and off goes my email.

Im not telling the missus as she will want half the cost of the game for some wine or some other twisted womans logic because of this .

lol

One thing I would love to see Overclockers start using is the ability to pay via PayPal.

I practically make all my purchases via PayPal because I use it for transactions when selling old equipment, thus have money in there that I won't transfer to my bank account.

So please Overclockers, have the ability to pay via paypal.

 

[beefybarn]

Thanks Gibbo for that generous offer of the free game, maybe that will stop people moaning about the cost of delivery. I love the promo you run where you can have goods delivered saturday for the regular weekday price, try and get saturday delivery at other retailers at a sensible price..NO GO.

 

[willhub]

I wish they would have saturday delivery for regular price, I'd be buying an Accelero S1 from OcUK tommorrow if that happened.

 

[Yewen]

Can't run that offer every Saturday unfortunately as Sat delivery does cost a fair bit more.

Everyone who sent the email before 4:00 today has had their copy shipped and should get it within the next few working days. After 4:00 we still shipped a few but most will go tommorrow.

More or less every source, wanna take a bet?
