The guy who does the queue update emails is on leave at the moment. They are entitled to a break surely! Everything comes to he/she who waits...

I agree about the break, although I understand his point. It wasn't communicated via the official thread Gibbo is posting to so I had no idea. Just would have been nice to know a little something about why the queue emails wouldn't be sent.

 

[dvinell]

A break in the emails means that the pitifully small updates in the numbers get to look fractionally larger.

 

[Steve Newman-Whitworth]

Of course the guy is entitled to a break but would it have hurt to let the people who have £700 invested and nothing to show for it know that he is on a break ! Surely

Just gonna put my hat in the ring and say: I would pay the difference between the original MSRP and what OCUK would need to charge in order to not make a loss on my card. As long as my order wasn't cancelled. I would much rather be in the queue at this point than not at all.

I got my RTX 3080 last week. I think in future people should go for smaller brands like PNY, zotac, Palit as there are very little orders left in those cards. Asus, Gigabyte, and msi way too many back orders

I'm 7th in the queue for the Aorus Xtreme 3080... Paid last August.. Hopefully some update soon, I have the rest of my new PC built and using my old GTX 970. Also, I'm in Ireland so I'll probably get hit with some extra VAT due to Brexit? Paid over €1000 including the VAT so not sure how it works...

I'm more amazed by the fact that a queue updating E-mail is not an automated process and actually relies on someone manually sending out 500+ emails. The person who does it is obviously entitled to take a holiday when they want to but to not give anyone else the responsibility or knowledge of how to do it is a bit weird to say the least.

My thoughts as well, has been noticed before only certain people do things, no deputies or assistants, so when they are away it all stops. Thats how companies fail and close when a select few do things and nobody else knows how.

I expect they have never had to use an automated queue system before. It wouldn’t be an off the shelf system, and bespoke development is both time consuming a costly when you look at what’s really needed including integration with other ordering systems. At the end of 2020 they probably thought back orders would have been fulfilled by now. So it’s probably cheaper and quicker, for now, for them to use tools they already have.

Not sure OCUK are at risk of failing and closing just because of a couple of missed queue emails.

 

[Biohills-Liam]

How is everybody doing lately anyway? We all good? My daughter pulled herself up to stand against the settee for the first time today, it was amazing. Probs would have missed it if my card was here tbh, so there’s that!
Just hope everyone’s doing well and sending positive vibes during these trying times!

OC is not as big a company as everyone assumes.

nope...@Simon Prater is pretty much right about everything other than OcUK being a big company I'm not sure how you'd judge that tbh....but we're about half the size of our most commonly accepted "competition".

 

[Chris Finane]

Sorry, it was actually September... I had bought a 10900k and some Noctua fans from them in August.. But yea, 21st of September. Hopefully we get sorted soon. Was 7th in the queue for a couple of weeks before we stopped getting updates... The lads must be under serious pressure though..

 

[Jackasaurus]

I doubt I'm getting my gpu at this point lol. Eagles are basically extinct. They might as well be discontinued. Doubt I'll buy from gigabyte again

 

[LordBeggar]

I don't think we will get our hands on 3080 this year either

 

[JediFragger]

2022 is your year guys!!!

 

[LordBeggar]

Guys. Soon we won't be able to afford a GPU because the Scalpers are inflating the price and the etailers are following them as well

 

[JediFragger]

'Scalper prices going higher and higher!'

/Etailer.....hold my beer
