Typically 6 weeks from China with customs clearance at the EU end.
If you want it quick then 3-5 days for airfreight, but the cost increase is significant.

Its just over 1k for a 40ft container with no stock from China to Southampton and takes between 4-6 weeks normally, just incase people didn't know, didn't meant to quote you either lol as what you said is correct
Which is pretty much what I said. When work orders customer machines directly with Lenovo it's usually 6 weeks from manufacturing in China until it arrives at our loading bay.
So in that context it'll be the same for OcUK.
Just popped in my results there bud. Can I ask how much disparity is there in the non oc and the of version queues? I'm up on 1500+ and I'm considering cancelling and trying the of variant if there's a decent jump down in queue numbers.As another call out to people, I'm trying to collect data on people's queue positions and cards, mostly just because I find it interesting, but also it might help us answer questions like "what is the best card to order now", "how bad is the queue for this card if I order now" and "my queue position seems wrong, is it" that are being asked every few posts. (and hey, maybe we'll get lucky and we'll get to a point we can better estimate shipping rates after a few queue updates or something. Who knows)
So, if you'd like to contribute to the data set, there is a form here that will add it to the google docs spreadsheet, which you can view here. If we don't get enough data I'm talking myself into sprending tomorrow evening trawling back through the last couple of days of posts while finishing off a nice bottle of Whiskey, so your help could save me from that!
Hmm. The "Internet Reference" one that starts with an OC? Really home we haven't rolled over to OC5xxxxxx numbers, because then I have no way to use the value limits to make sure people can only use the appropriate ones.
I guess the question is if @Cambo is a Zotac Trinity like you, or mis-selected and is actually a Zotac Trinity OC, in which case his number would fit with the little other data we have collected so far.
Why?
It doesn't help anyone already in the queue, and it certainly doesn't help anyone that wants to join the queue?
I think all the times I've seen people getting cards shipped Gibbo's thread has been updated that day. There were a small batch of MSI on the 18th which I think had some number of Ventus (small is more than 10, less than 50. We have good sources on 5 Trios in that batch, so at least 5 Ventus as well?), very small (<10) non-specific MSI on the 21st (a quick hunt finds at least one "got mine" for a Ventus on the 22nd), and another very small batch of specifically Ventus on the 24th. None since then, though the 30 Trios on the 29th is another MSI batch.
To me that says:
- They've been coming in slowly but steadily
- Feels like another batch is likely due
- The "recent" batch of Trios was a 30, so hopefully the Ventus batches will be hitting that level too?
OK, just seen the edit. Advice is that airfreight works out ~6x more expensive than sea freight, so it's best to order stock in good time. Obviously can't be done for something like the last minute 3080 product launch, but you'd hope if the supply of GPUs from Nvidia is good that there would be regular large stock deliveries arriving from beginning of November.

Pick and place machines can only work so fast, the humans in the factories can only work so fast. Takes a while to retool the machines to be compatible with the new boards so potentially only X% of their factory line is updated for manufacturing the latest stuff etc etc etc.
No problem yeah il prey to jeebus in the meantime
I know but say there's 800-1000 in the oc queue then I can just cancel and put in a order for that one. I wouldn't be taking anyones place.

Don't tempt me... I have some extra work days to take as well.
LOL that's funny! Foxconn have their own town with around 400000 people working for them. A simple low density board like a GPU is nothing to them, they can turn out iphone boards which are much more complex by the million. Their production figures are mind boggling - any bottleneck is certainly not a board stuffing factor with RTX30xx .
These will be even more expensive than that as they are very heavy for their size so they are well above the standard volumetric weight for air freight.
Honestly there isn't enough data yet. If you are talking the TUF I only have 13 non-OC and 7 OC results to work with.
The latest TUF OC result submitted is from the 24th, at 621, where as a non-OC from a couple of hours later is at 1594, so nearly 1000 behind. Unfortunately the TUFs have kept growing, I suspect at a faster rate than others due to the capacitor news stories, so the non-OC had hit 1882 by 10:30 on the 30th. Though with the rumours that ASUS might be focusing on the OC models I guess switching might be an idea if you want to stay with the brand. Not enough data to even make a guess. But why not, wild guessing I'd put non-OC at 2kish now, and OC at 8-900 in the queue.
Notably, while I have very little data, there is a Zotac Trinity OC from the 30th at 26th in that queue, and the only PNY result submitted so far is a XLR8 apparently ordered at 9 this morning in position 18 in that queue (though... not sure how they'd even know their number in that case, might be a erroneous entry). Not sure if any PNY cards have come in, but Zotac have been mentioned a few times in the shipment thread, though their cards have reviewed worse. So if you want one this year (or decade?) might be worth considering the less popular brands?
Ah, hadn't noticed that. I was just being a cynic and assuming it was because since the non-OC and OC hardware is identical they were focusing on the one which clearly has a better profit margin. Glad to hear that the TUF might be being treated more fairly (especially because if OC's queues and the order time spreadsheet we used before the official queue are typical across other retailers, a notable amount more TUF buyers went non-OC and more Strix buyers went OC)

for real... id chuck a £10er in, I know im only 2nd in que... it wouldnt be done for me, id be doing it to help all the others that are stuck down the line!!
Yeah you're probably right that we're getting a trickle of cards coming in, as long as their regular and slowly scaling up I think we can all live with that. If Ventus hit that level soon I'd be a very happy chap, I'd imagine MSI are using air freight too at the moment for these initial cards how long they keep that up for though is anyone's guess. I'm quietly hopeful that golden week won't effect this coming weeks deliveries due to the ones for this week having already been produced and are ready to or already have been shipped but I guess we'll find out soon.
