*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

You can solve that problem with a cool real name like Space Monkey or Magic Boy like us...

Yeah my bad. Auto complete wiped my screen name when I made this account. No option to change screen name, so made a new account under my preferred screen name and deleted the post from this account.

Didn't think it way an issue.

The only reason I ordered from here is the whole "Make sure to order from OCUK as we're in the best position to receive stock due to our important and long standing bigly relationship with Nvidia! We're definitely the best shop to order from!" like a chump.
Seems disingenuous at best...
And the kinda ****** communications and half-arsed way of keeping the customers informed.
And still taking pre-orders...
Kinda takes the **** doesn't it?

The thing is surely a large percentage of the people (including me) they're keeping waiting in queues for months on end will never be shopping here again.
So why are they damaging their own reputation? :S I'm just not really understanding their strategy here... maybe it's just incompetence.

Acknowledged, thanks.

I'm honestly shocked by the way this is being dealt with.

Overclockers have literally millions (possibly tens of millions) of pounds of peoples hard earned cash, and can't even be bothered to put up a daily update.

All it would take to at least show some respect for your customers would be a daily update, which would take 30 seconds to write. "Sorry guys, no delivery today, and no updates available. We have reached out to manufacturer 1, distributer 2, and manufacturer 3, and will update you further as soon as we can".

You already have a member of staff who is in procurement, and spends most of his day on the forums, it's not exactly a big ask.

As for continuing to take pre orders. I can understand the reasoning behind this. But how hard would it be to put on the page for each card "as of Monday 9 Nov, the queue for this card is xyz positions. In the last 30 days we have dispatched xyz of these cards. At least then your customers could make an informed decision.

The contempt shown for your customers in the way this has been handled is staggering. I ordered from OC based on reputation. Not sure I'll make the same mistake again.

Gibbo's using it as deposit on a new car.

Bugatti next? lol

I pre-ordered because of how Overclockers UK are saying that they are the most likely retailer to gain stock the quickest. Plus, the fact they're the only retailer taking pre-orders seemed promising.

Should I still be optimistic?

 

[djtoltec]

Can Overclockers confirm whether the MSI fire is going to impact deliveries? I assume OC will have spoken to their suppliers following this

 

[Jackasaurus]

Hey guys. I dropped over 50 places in the eagle queue. Surely that indicated a shipment?

35 since day one that's all that have arrived thats not including the ones that went out the back door.

 

[Stephen Hilton]

Are you guys that are buying cards that come into stock elsewhere paying over MSRP for the cards? Except FE cards of course as I know they go for MSRP.

If so how much extra out of interest? Cheapest cards I can see now are £720, £70 over MSRP.

I might be a tightwad but I'd rather wait that pay extra.

Saying that I should get my card the next Ventus batch. Hoping one comes in this week!

Actually paid €60 less than I did when entering the OCUK que lottery

What are you asking them to do? Magic up some cards or cancel your order? They can't do the former and you can do the latter yourself.

You were 1200+ queued on the TUF OC right? I'd say no chance getting it this year from here to be honest.

 

[Big E]

PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF WAITING FOR CARDS THAT NEVER COMES!!! WHERE ARE OUR INNO CARDS?

NO UPDATES AT ALL FROM OK UK.

WHY IS THAT PROBLEM IF WE WANT CARD FINALLY?

Thats right let em know

 

[Big E]

After waiting 2 months for my MSI Trio DPD delivered my parcel to the wrong address, I contacted them and they say they'll send the driver to collect it this afternoon and drop it over to me. Somehow I doubt that will happen, just wondering if the person that received the parcel can deny ever receiving it?

I also contacted Ocuk to let them know. I can't believe this is happening, just my luck.

hope u get it sorted man

No. That's obviously not what I was saying. They should either do what other shops are doing and stop taking pre-orders, or at least, as someone else suggested, inform the customer of the wait and queue number, so they can make an informed choice.
And be a bit more professional and informative with their communications, because as I said, they seem a bit half-arsed at the moment.

Oh and not try to disingenuously funnel customers by exaggerating how much stock they're going to get compared to their competitors.

My point was about their attitude to customers and business practices.

Hey guys,

I haven't been checking this thread recently, as I have been making preparations for my will, to leave my Gigabyte Eagle to my children that don't exist, when it arrives for them.

Any news on the 3080 Gigabyte Eagle OC at all? Any shipped/arrived? I've gone down in the queue but I expect even more cancellations.

Thanks

 

[Stumpy&Frumpy]

I’d think we will get an update from Gizbo tomorrow.
Just hope it’s a bumper, thumper, (Donald) trumper!

About 35 arrived/shipped on Friday. The only ones to date, I believe.
