Good point. I'm past giving the benefit of the doubt without justification.

*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***
- Thread starter Feek
- Start date
With all these rumors going around I'm starting to feel like there's gonna be trouble with the non OC TUF orders. Wonder if the silence is just them trying to figure out how to deal with this situation. Surely if everything was fine at least some cards would be getting shipped out? But there's been nothing going on for a month now. This one's on ASUS...
3070 is out next week...
hahaha.. sad but true.
My scepticism is growing too. That 3070 supply list showed all OCs arriving as well.

That's true, a good rule of thumb I operate by. But in this case it presupposes that OCUK are the source of the problem in the first place and that it must either be incompetence or malice on their part. And most of the problem is with the manufacturing and supply chains causing huge waits, and the waits making people mad. So then mad customers conflict with customer service, there's not always a perfect route that leads to a happy and peaceful resolution.
It's actually quite funny because I've started looking at this whole situation almost like a hand holding thing, loads of gamers mad at the wait (understandably) and then trying to get some relief and trying to emotionally cope by bombarding customer service demanding updates. It's why I asked someone before what would an ideal customer service be like? One that would satisfy you, and that OCUK could actually deliver given the circumstances they're in.
Basically at this point it's a giant cope, I think it'd just be easier to just get a therapist on the forums and have group therapy sessions. "Hi my name is Frosty, I'm a gamer and I ordered my 3080 on day 1 but it'm still waiting. I've been find it hard to cope of late and find myself getting irrationally angry, but I'm just taking it one day at a time."
Yes people are getting mad but even if its just a daily update saying "no new news regarding shipments or even if its just we have an currently unconfirmed amount being shipped by X due some time next month" its better than nothing since friday at this point.
More than OCuk have and that's my point. I'm not going to go into detail but this should be a heads up for them to up their game.

Me too
I'm so glad that I've snagged one. No more wasted hours, checking Twitter and threads, it's carthatic lol.
I'm keeping my order in with here for now, in case any issues with FE.
Fingers crossed to all those waiting, and again, props to the guy who posted on here earlier.

But you can get that whenever you want. Go to the update thread, check for an update, if there are none then the status of the order is that there is no new information. It's just the presumption of guilt on OCUKs part that people think they must have more information than they really do and they're simply withholding it from us, that's almost certainly not true. There's a real kind of hand holding going on if you need an update from OCUK literally every single day saying "nothing has changed today", you can infer that from the lack of updates if you give them the benefit of the doubt that as soon as they know something they'll reflect it here.
I guess the real difference is that I trust that, as someone who co-owns a business I know business owners don't want to peeve off their customers and most people work really hard to make sure that doesn't happen. And that sometimes people who are mad cannot be reasoned with or satisfied.
no that’s a waste of time. If there’s no news there is no post needed. Quite simple really.

I just got my email too. Still hoping OCUK will pull their finger out and send my card, but at least I've got a 3090 as a fallback now lol
I'd agree normally, but on the Inno shipment we were told they would ship late last week, or early next, and yet there has been no update on the boards to say whether they shipped or they didn't. That might have been seen as a courtesy to at least put minds at ease, but there's been silence.
