Sounds like the emails are starting to come out then! I will keep an eye on my inbox. :D Of course everyone's next question is going to be when is the next shipment coming in of "Insert X Card here"

To be fair, with an official queue position people wont need to ask that, when Gibbo posts updates about incoming stock in the thread and the estimated size they will be able to ascertain roughly where they stand.

If the order is correct, then there is NO good reason why. But that's a big IF. Personally I'm very sceptical - been with OC for a long time and never been wronged before.

There could be multiple reasons why and none of them shady, not good for people before them but doesn't mean there's a conspiracy, just means there's been a problem of some kind.

Firstly, I can assure you that OCUK aren't up to any shenanigans, if that order is correct them I'm 100% sure there's a perfectly good and innocent reason why?

I am trying to squeeze my brain hard but I can't see very many "innocent" scenarios in which someone who ordered that card model on the 23rd and gets it before people who preordered it on the 16th and 17th. I can accept a "one guy ****** up and assigned the card to the wrong order number", sure, but it's still not innocent, not after we got told so many times that everything is dispatched in a first-come-first-served basis.
That, coupled with the constant change of official stance on the "card swapping" policy, makes it even less likely to be innocent.

And I'm being generous.

My place in the TUF 3080 OC queue went down by almost 400 places overnight. How is this even possible? So, of course I requested a cancellation. Overclockers are making a real mess of things.

People have been swapping cards without losing queue position. I did this myself with the 980Ti's, but with stock so limited now it just feels wrong.
 
Got my email.....ordered a week after release - Asus Strix 3080 Non OC - position 288 - thought it would be way higher than that to be fair.
