Someone doesn't understand business, if you have thousands on overdraft with your bank at criminal extortionate interest rates and then you stick a million of other peoples money in your account you now have no overdraft, and you don't pay whatever the rate was, say 18% which means all that money was worth 18% interest to you because as long as you have the money you are not paying the interest on the overdraft, simples

That is true, but OCUK have a positive cash position according to their accounts for last year and only paid a total of £1,148 in interest of any kind to anyone...

... so, although having a lot of cash on deposit is indeed helpful if you are running a large overdraft, it isn't much use to a company that is cash positive and not paying interest in the first place...

I could not be a mod on this forum it would drive me insane. People are now waving an emailed reply from an employee as the smoking gun evidence to back up whatever narrative they told themselves was the truth. Turth like beauty it would seem is in the eye of the beholder.
Recently Currys told me in person and on the phone via text my TV is valid for warranty replacement - on going back to the store her manager says no - I'm 5 days after the warranty ran out. I'm not pleased but its not a major conspiracy Currys have enacted is it?

By releasing more delivery comms with the worldwide disruption ongoing its very easy to pass on what you've been told and then have that changed. If you've been here 1000 pages you will recall that sometimes the shipments gets stopped until more can be grouped and sent. Recently its often without comms also going upstream. Nvidia shoulder the blame for this situation in terms of stock. COVID can take the blame for worldwide distribution and its lovely cousin BREXIT will sharp make its mark on imports too.

Its not Overclockers fault if comms they have got have not panned out. Gibbo's job as far as I can see is to secure stock and deal with all supply lines - I want him doing that not responding in here every 5 mins.

Regardless if you feel that "in stock next day" on launch day is lying (I seem to think it was true but for only 1 or 2 cards that made it) but it was still showing after a tidal wave of activity hit all sites on launch day and it could not be updated immediately. You could make the claim their systems need work - thats fine, that they are not quite up to current crazy demand but hardly that its pure dishonesty.

They take orders still - as long as they inform about the huge delay and give customers choice I'm fine with choice. But if anyone thinks they are hiding cards or not selling things deliberately I would argue your nuts. They would *want* to fulfil every order they have ASAP - they are a business.

I will say the forum did apply early on the right pressure to get the order queue numbers out which was good and they did take a while to come around on that - I gave them a bit of slack since we are in COVID times. Bottom lines its their business to run as they see fit and they will take on board or ignore any feedback again as they see fit.

If you want to cancel do it - else wait. Just stop with the rabid drivel.

It is overclockers fault is they give wrong information then stick to that for a month and only rectify that info when they finally do get in touch with the manufacturer a month after they first gave the dodgy info out, all the while quoting it as fact, with further supporting evidence which turned out not to be true.

"A lot shall be relieved to see this !!

"A lot" shall be relieved xD dude, its less than 10! In almost 2 months.
Its good they're finally making it to your inventory but as someone in even the 20's, I hardly find it "relieving".
