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

Pretty sure that list of expected cards and quantities @Gibbo shared a week ago never actually arrived.

been sitting on 4th place in the Ventus queue now for 10 days.

I’m honestly just done with their shady replies. The comms team in OCUK need a kick up the butt. This is how you don’t do business.
 
Been checking a competitors stock info updates...

They received over 100 Asus 3080s this week.

Meanwhile at OCUK... 0 cards.

All of us stuck in their order queue really have been shafted.
 
OCUK is a very small fish when it comes to supply, despite what they like to tell everyone. They knew full well that would have no chance of fulfilling these pre-orders anytime soon, yet took them anyway no doubt enjoying the interest they are getting from everyone's money. When it comes to the TUF OC, I ordered this card from a competitor on the 19th and it will be delivered on the 25th.
The cards are in short supply and hard to get elsewhere, but if you are determined enough they can be got.

Indeed! OCUK have several thousands of Asus 3080s on backorder. OCUK took far more backorders of these cards than anyone else, by an order of magnitude. Meanwhile, the scaling up of deliveries by late October/early November did not happen. If anything, OCUKs supplies of these cards appear to have dried up. OCUK seem to have taken these "preorders" on a wing and a prayer and do not appear to know how on earth they will fulfil all these orders.

Yep unless you were stupid enough to to give your money to OCUK and actually believe the BS they were spouting about being in the number 1 U.K. company to get you your 3080/zen5000 or 6800xt

It would be quite funny if the suppliers were punishing OCUK for taking so many preorders that they knew they couldn’t fill, so are now withholding stock and sending it elsewhere
 
So, i was just on the Discord, asking a few questions, and all of a sudden, I'm banned, I understand the admins not wanting to repeat themselves, but they've got genuinely miffed off customers, if they're just going to ban and ignore them in the discord, i can understand the OCUK staff putting people on hold for so long now as well, they're just juggling us around and keeping us on the hook as long as possible, I've been fairly calm up until being treated like a piece of trash on the discord :/

I mean, if you're the person who I think you are, you were being quite rude and not listening to what the CS guy was saying - no point being horrible to him when he's taking time out his day to answer questions.
