Do you mind telling me how I can set up alerts on my phone. I already have telegram installed, but no idea about setting up alerts

If you already have Telegram installed, go to your phones web browser and search for 'FE Partalert Telegram', hit the link and Telegram will automatically open and allow you to follow/join the FE Part Alert group and thats it. As long as you have notifications turned on in the Telegram app you'll get a notification when an alert comes through so all you have to do is hit the link for the GPU you want and it'll open the UK website for the GPU and if you are quick enough you can hit the add to cart button and off you go.

Keep on spamming F5 for about 30mins after the you get the alert because apparently as people fail payments and/or exceed their 1-per-customer limit the cards that they had temporarily held for them in the carts slowly get put back on the website again and are then up for grabs.

If the buy button isn't there then just keep refreshing, it also helps if you have an account set up for the place which sells the FE and pre saved card details which you can do by buying a cheap cable or something for a pound and setting collect from store so you don't have to pay postage and obviously just not bothering to collect.

I've used them before and was already logged in but it made me login again and complete a few captchas and enter my card details manually anyway. I believe once you've initially added to cart you have a bit of breathing space to sort security and payment out, the GPU is temporarily held for you I guess.

Not sure about that as I had it disappear from my basket on 2 occasions when trying to pay.

Good to know, cheers
 
Just followed your instruction..all set up, have an account set up with the party it links too so hopefully good to go...and here I was randomly checking them every day hoping...now at least I may have a slightly better chance of getting something with enough effort.
Thanks guys
 
Also, if you have telegram desktop app the alert will have a link/url to the buy page. Makes the 'phone chirp' to buy page as quick as possible. Just hit the link when the phone goes (and the link appears on the desktop app).

Yes I thought of that too, but it turned out I was at work when I got the alert yesterday so just pulled my phone out and mashed the link and apparently got lucky.

For those who haven't already, you can look back up through the history in Telegram so you can see the frequency at which the UK drops happen. Still seems a little random to me but it's interesting having a scroll back up.
