The main competitor are expecting 540 cards (3080s) across 3 brands next week, with the remaining brands still to be confirmed. I wonder how many OC will get...
50 for general sale and the remaining 150 for staff, friends and prebuilds.

What happened with the Zotacs?

Get in touch with them in Discord mate they respond quickly. Often within 20 mins.
Several things. First they had some on general sale rather than offering them to people that were in the queue for another model. Secondly they oversold them, thereby just generating another queue. Thirdly they did not dispatch them in order even though they claim to have a strict first come first served policy, there were numerous reports of people ordering after I did but still getting their shipped (I did not). I spoke to someone at OC about the latter and they claim the most likely scenario is that people were lying about their order time not that they had made a mistake. This excuse just did it for me, blaming the customer rather than admitting they probably messed up.
I have now cancelled the order and will not be coming back. Everything they do regarding the 30xx is either shady or just downright bad.

LOL.
Even If the competitor only gets the expected 540 cards (coming from 3 of 7 brands) , and doesn't get any delivery of the as yet unconfirmed brands, they'll clear over a fifth of their orders (2625) in one week.
From 2018.. "There are over ten thousand graphics cards on this site alone"
So yeah....
And the amazing thing is because they have closed preorders they won't just be creating more queue, they are genuinely clearing their backlog before opening preorders again. This is an unknown concept to OC
I must admit I won't be using them again, my card is out for delivery today, but everything I have seen from reporting on cards etc has been poor.. why say an OK amount, just say 27 etc. and prior to that we were all left and in a way still are in limbo.
I do hope my power supply will cope with the new card as it is an RM650X... I have a RM850X on order and that should be here this weekend.... BUT now i'm ordering from a different supplier.

Thats why you import them. No need for this preorder stuff.

1 trio less guys,. Got an FE on order. Do we know how long it takes to process a refund ?
Friend got a refund within 5 days. He used his mastercard to buy. I've heard if you pay with paypal it's slightly faster.

No it's not "unknown", it's a conscious choice to offer pre-order queue positions to customers who want to get into a queue and can't do it anywhere else. Some people are happy they can join a queue somewhere rather than be faced with perpetual camping stores only to get nothing. If YOU don't think that's a good deal then great, don't join the queue. But some of us think that's fine and are glad it exists.
I wish people would stop talking about this as if it's somehow objectively bad just because they don't like the idea. The service is a choice, no one is forcing you to use it.

OCUK did mine within hours of sending the form yesterday; just waiting on Amazon Pay to send me the money.
Usually less than two working days
I do agree it isn't bad, but they should never have let any queue reach up well past the 1000 mark. That part is bad, they should have stopped around 500-1000 queue and only open it back up when it drops down again.
Think someone said they were in the 2000's in one queue! at the going rate might not get a card till 2022 xD

Why is it bad?
