They are being told they get 50, then only 30 arrive a week late. Not sure what you're expecting. The real update is it's here when it's here, but you don't want to hear that.

oh my days, thats terrible staff feedback, maybe thats the reason why so many ppl are unhappy with OCUK at the moment.
The real update is that they are here, in other places. Hundreds of cards coming in of the model I'm waiting on are shipping elsewhere right now.
3 weeks without an MSI update.

If that’s the case, how about OCUK tell us, rather than we just speculate?

This. They're between a rock and a hard place really. If they give specifics, and inevitably get let down, people will be annoyed. If they keep things vague, people will be annoyed. I blame Nvidia for botching their launch more than anything.

This must be Stockholm syndrome.
if they expect 50 and less than 25 arrive, fine, no problem, we understand there’s a global shortage.
JUST TELL US THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENED!
It’s called ‘good communication’. It’s a child of ‘the truth’, and a parent of ‘expectations’.

Well I mean, at least Gibbo is ordering new cars instead of updating his thousands of pre order customers - ay?

People not annoyed if given actual numbers even if some delays happen at least we know, all the vagueness enables is poor communication and easily mislaid stock to other purposes.

Like what, a microwave fan 3080, making flower pots for etsy, maybe a cute rgb night-light?
The purpose is to sell them to us.

I don’t think people will be as angry if they communicated properly ie 50 units due next week. Then if only 30 arrives all they have to do is post 30 of the 50 cards have arrived we are despatching them now we will keep you updated!
It would literally take @Gibbo 2 minutes to post the update in the thread
Too busy spending our money!

Don’t forget he always has time to brag
We know exactly what is going on.
Those first 300pc got delayed by AMD, they have been delayed again and are coming from a master distributor, why the date keeps slipping is unknown.
These 200pc are from another master disti and have shipped from that warehouse today and will arrive in our warehouse tomorrow and have a scheduled booking in slot next week which warehouse will pull forward if they can.
So far we have already had 199 units arrive and get shipped out, this includes launch volume.
Right now we have 1066 orders outstanding to ship with 200 due next week, were still owed the 300 which the dates keep slipping on and 85 units are still due to arrive this week / next week on grey product.
As such based on the 200 + 85 we know have shipped that will mean we have shipped just shy of 500 units to our customers, probably better than any competitor can say, when those 300 owed land, that will be near 800.
If shipments slip or get delayed that is totally out of our control, both ourselves and the distributors are at the mercy of AMD.
As I've said previously, @Gibbo is more than happy to post numbers in other threads for other products.
If it is the distributor's fault and not OC's, numbers would go a long way to prove that. The vagueness of of the very small/small/large/whatever statements we infrequently get just give OC more wiggle room to quietly slip units into prebuilts.
I thought in the beginning @Gibbo said he couldn't give numbers due to an NDA or something along those lines, surely that is up by now. If that's the case, then there is no excuse for not providing numbers.

You might be ok with that, but a lot of people don't think the same way. Person X sees they're 50th in the queue, and Gibbo says 51 units expected in next week. He can qualify that all he likes, but Person X still books time off work/orders other stuff to finish his build/just gets excited. Then next week rolls around and only 49 cards arrived. When you have this problem multiplied over every shipment of every card every week, it's going to **** a lot of people off and create headaches for CS.
Not saying that being vague is any better really, but they've been put in an impossible position.
