[Stevo the great Longshaft]

Can someone @oc give Zotac a kick up the Ar5e

 

[Jpleyley]

Dude. How long do u think it takes to move a house? Ive moved quite a lot. it doesnt take more than a day to move your shi* to another location. unless Gibbo lives in a mansion

Hahahaha! Harry 'Jpleyley' Potter.

When we moved into our mortgaged 2 bed from our rented 4 years ago I took like a week to unpack, moving is so stressful!

Yeh it can take a week to "UNPACK" but moving house takes a half a day to a day. You dont need to unpack everything in the bloody day u get there....

So there isnt 5 minutes in the day to Update the thousands of customers waiting for cards worth over 700quid each... pretty sure theres a commitment to update everyone. over 8 days is complete BS and shows lack of worth

 

[Jpleyley]

Beein on hold for 2 hours. HMRC answer quicker than these lot. Joke

Clearly you haven't seen how much you can fit in a Ferrari

Any word on Palit cards? Wouldn't usually be in a rush but only got 2 weeks before I need to cancel due to a house move.

I am waiting on Palit also.

AMD RYZEN 5000 SERIES 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X NOW ONLINE AT OcUK!!

I think he's making the rounds be patient.

[Del-Dredd]

Nah, you misunderstand. With brands like MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA, Asus etc who work through distribution channels he can't raise the PO until he knows the GBP price. Since the distributors buy in USD and sell in GBP we have to wait for them to work out the price based on the daily rate.

At the moment, all 3000 series is in allocation, which means that the manufacturer decides who gets what, typically based on the sales reports that we send them weekly. The manufacturers know how many back orders each of their key partners have and allocate accordingly.

Some manufacturers like to be given whopping great POs that they'll probably never be able to fulfil, typically the ones that Gibbo only deals with direct, but not many.

Thanks for the clarification, did seem a little strange.

No he’s consistently updated that thread which is part of the reason why his unwillingness to update us is so infuriating
It’s not that he’s to Busy it because he doesn’t want to

 

[Jpleyley]

So he has time to update people about how to give OCUK more money for pre-orders but not how to Fufill the current ones or give information to the people that have been waiting nearly 3 months now.. another great screenshot for the big boss...

 

[Smiffy-UK]

TBH I wish I was in a pre-order for zen 3, ampere or rdna 2, got my credit card, savings or even my current account ready but the site crashed on all of the payment sides, so I now have to wait for 4-8 weeks if not more, Just what I got to do.

 

[Bluenosebolt]

I can't really blame him. As soon as he posts an update a shedload of people jump on the thread asking not only brand availability but 50 odd different SKU's in those brands.

To update on the AMD CPU side is going to be considerably easier to do due to the lack of different models.

This isn't a blind Gibbo protection post however...He is a grown man.... IN SALES, these questions / complaints should be expected and should be answered, Whether he does or doesn't wont change me from buying here in the future.

This is alos pretty garbage response.. This is his JOB. he is PAID to do this. if he cant handle the preassure maybe he should go work in a fish n chip shop or something thats more to his level of skill..
