NVIDIA are clearing stocks world wide and are giving the world six weeks to have all inventories cleared after which time they shall remove this support. So if you want a deal on a 760 or above you've got six weeks to make your mind up, but of course stocks could sell out way before then, so don't hang around.

 

[Gibbo]

I expected the 760 to drop a little lower than this. Great prices on the 780s though

Why?

Perfect price lineup now.

750Ti @ £99
760 @ £145
770 @ £180
780 @ £225
970 @ £260
780Ti @ £350
980 @ £430


NVIDIA have perfect price lineup now!

 

[Gibbo]

Competitors hacking the shop site?

Suppose its the only way they can beat us considering we have so many 970 and 980's in stock.

Shame we can't sell them at the moment.

 

[Gibbo]

There's no restocking fee and now that you have the DSR number you actually have 30 days to return it, you just party postage (doesn't matter that you've opened (or actually even if you don't have the box any more ) and tested it as this is specifically what the regulations allow - distance purchasers to view the product in person before buying it effectively). In your position I would write to the etailor explaining what you did and that you would prefer if they could offer you some cashback instead of you returning it causing hassle for both parties. OCUK have done this for people in this past as they are awesome, others might not be so good.

This is no longer the case, DSR is no more it is consumer contract relations and if the product is used and cannot be resold as new a restocking fee shall be applied.

 

[Gibbo]

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo
Does restocking fee apply to just overclockers or every company ?

It's the new rules any etailor can now charge a restocking fee if the goods are deemed used and can't be resold as new, it's new uk law.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

To answer your questions:-

Whether you buy in store or online makes no difference, you still have 14 days.

The difference now is if you actually use the product in such a way that means OcUK simply cannot re-stock the item as new then you will be charged a re-stocking fee as we will have to b-grade the item and sell at a loss. The rules are set about to prevent resellers making losses due to people abusing the DSR.

So anything returned under the new rules if is un-used or can be sold again as new as it has not being used then no re-stocking fee shall be applied. If the goods are simply being returned because it does not overclock or perform as you wish then it is clearly used a re-stocking fee will apply.

If the items is faulty then it does not fall under these rules and of course a refund issued.


P.S. The ROG Swift is an excpeption, it has special level of cover as mentioned in the product description.

P.S.2 We are always fair and people with genuine circumstances won't have issue, but the people out there who think it is fine to send something back after it does not overclock enough or are repeat offenders will definitely be getting hit with re-stocking fee's as we loose money by b-grading items.

 

[Gibbo]

You could never restock an item as new beforehand though? Say I bought a 680, used it for a day and DSR'ed it couldn't be sold as new.

And what you're saying makes it sound as anything opened and used will have a lowered refund (Which kind of contradicts Twst)

Under old DSR rules we had to issue a full refund and the item would be b-graded and sold as a loss.

Under the new rules, items clearly used we can legally charge a re-stocking fee.

DSR was abused massively, hence why is was changed. It is not hard to understand, you only make 10% on a £300 graphics card, that is £30. Customer returns under DSR has a full refund. You or no one else will buy that £300 new card for £270 B-grade, we'd have to sell it under £200 and make a large loss.

Any item returned to us used goes into b-grade!

 

[Gibbo]

So if I buy something new from you there's the risk that it's been in somebody's PC already and been tested out and is a bad clocker? If people are careful and clean any dust afterwards they can test it and return and you wouldn't be able to tell if it had been ragged or not.

No ta.

Nope they are b-graded! We loose money. The new rules allow us to now charge re-stocking fee's and as such limiting our losses on the b-graded items.

 

[Gibbo]

I get what you're saying, but there's like 3 of you (And your support page) which have slightly varied information.

I agree DSR was abused, but I'm still no closer to understanding what the actual stance is, except from that I may only get 75% of my money back in a 14 day return case.

Yes if you have used it.

It very clearly explains this in our store:


14 Days / Satisfaction Guaranteed
If you wish to cancel your order and return it for a full refund, you have up to a total of 14 days to contact us after the final receipt of your order.

You must inform us in writing if you wish to cancel your order. This can be done through the forums, by webnote, fax or post.

You must return the goods within 14 days of notifying us of the cancellation. We will reimburse you within 14 days of receipt of the goods using the same means of payment as you used when placing the order.

Unfortunately we cannot cover all unforeseeable costs and you will have to pay for the return of any unwanted goods you are returning. Please package the goods properly and ship them in a separate outer box, including all packaging, cables, manuals, drivers and protective bags, however small.

You are liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. For example, if it goes beyond the sort of handling that might reasonably be allowed in a shop. We will deduct this amount from the value of the refund.

We regret that we cannot accept cancellations of computer software if it is unsealed. Accessories and promotional items are part of the order and must be returned to ensure a full refund is given. Free games codes should be unused and still hidden.

 

[Gibbo]

You're missing my point. How do you determine whether an item is used or not? If an item comes back to you in seemingly perfect condition but the box has been opened what happens? Back into the new stack or B Grade?

As I say, it wouldn't be that difficult to use an item and test how it clocks and then box it up without it having the appearance of ever being used. End result: item which is used ends up back in the new stock.

Or are you saying ANYTHING returned goes into B Grade...? And that it's just if you determine whether it's used or not which dictates whether a restocking fee is charge?

If the box is opened, it is b-graded! Simples.
Any item being used is easy to spot, seals if present broken being the easiest one.
No seals visual inspection of the hardware it is easy to tell by simply looking for marks on the connectors.

When you insert a CPU into a motherboard, it marks the CPU.
When you insert memory into a motherboard the connectors are marked.
When you insert a graphics card, the connectors are marked as is the blanking plate from the screw.

So for us who make a living of this we can very easily tell what is used and what is not.

Anything showing any sign of usage is b-graded no matter how slight!

 

[Gibbo]

That says a full refund, which obviously I wouldn't be getting had it been used.

No it does not.

 

[Gibbo]

Yeah, I see that now.
But 1.) Support section still wrong as it has no stipulation.
2.) That sounds like a blanket restocking fee.

It is here:-
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/supportdetails.php#opt1

In writing.
All explained, by simply clicking the unwanted link.

As already said most items returned to us under DSR are truly un-wanted they come back to us even in our original shipping packaging untampered, normally because the wife caught the husband out spending money.

But people who think DSR means they can play with a product, overclock it, get a few results and then send it back, yes of course you can but you have used it and as such don't expect a full refund. As that item will be b-graded and sold at a loss.

 

[Gibbo]

OK thank you for clarifying but I don't think that's a 100% secure way in determining whether or not it has been used (e.g. don't screw the graphics card into the case) nor do I think that there is a way of doing it and getting it right 100% of the time. Obviously you'll get most of them but not all IMO.

Just makes me worry that I'm getting a non-new item when buying.

Then you'd never a buy a product from anywhere. As yours fears could happen anywhere when buying online.

 

[Gibbo]

Does the 14 day satisfaction guarantee still apply for in store purchases?

Yes of course it does, but if you use the item then of course a full refund won't be issued.

We treat in-store purchases the same as online. So if you buy in-store and a week later have not opened/used the product and no longer need/want it, you can simply bring it back for a refund.

 

[Gibbo]

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/support.php that's the page I'm on about, no stipulation.

That is not the page the unwanted link takes you to. That page stipulates it clearly.

 

[Gibbo]

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/support.php that's the page I'm on about, no stipulation.

I do dislike people abuse DSR. But does this mean any item opened and going into b-grade will have a deducted refund?

Yes.

 

[Gibbo]

Not really because when I've bought from elsewhere the boxes have largely been sealed and not used in pre-testing for 8 Packs uber rigs .

8 Pack made one error with some OEM CPU's to which he was spoken to about and to ensure he keeps his CPU's in his area and away from live stock.

8 Pack only test OEM CPU's from our stock which are all binned by him and then used in his and Infinity systems based on their OC.

Other items such as motherboards, VGA and RAM are all supplied directly to him from the manufacturer.

 

[Gibbo]

Which means you can't look at an item like you could in a shop, as you can't open it.

Because your buying online you have online materials to look at. Practically every item sold there are photos, videos, reviews and full specifications online, why would you need to look at it, by opening the box if buying online?

When I buy something online I know I want it, because enough info has being made available online for me to buy it.

If I buy something online, use it and then think mmm never gonna use it again, that is my issue, I either keep it, sell it or DSR it and accept a partial refund as I used it. Example I purchased a Go Pro recently, opened it up, had a look and thought meh, but have thrown it in a draw to keep as I'd never expect to return it and get a full refund, that would just be wrong.

 

[Gibbo]

But how is it a satisfaction guarantee if it can't be used at all? For example, you get a new monitor, you open it, and upon use you realise its picture isn't satisfactory. You've stated it's opened, so will bear a restocking fee. Also you mentioned seals, which suggests if the seal's broken it a full refund won't be given. Which again isn't a guarantee of satisfaction.

The new rules are the rules they are there to protect etailors from making losses from having to b-grade items used within the 14 day DSR period, hence the new rules.

When buying online I do not need to use a product to know I want it, as I simply know I want it and hence is the reason I am buying it. If I use it then I have used it and it is no longer new.

With a monitor it is different, if the picture isn't satisfactory then surely it is because it has a fault and will refund/exchange the unit.

For examples monitors with backlight bleed, we take back no questions asked, for people with genuine reasons we will sort out no issue, but this is because we class these things more as faults and not un-wanted.

Someone returning a graphics card because it does not overclock as well as they hope, is clearly no fault of the product and as such they have used it and will be charged a re-stocking fee.
