Did you pick the saturday option for delivery after adding the code? I think it was on the options.

Yeah I used the code, I guess I will just call them first thing tomorrow morning and ask if the cards were even sent.

It's not the end of the world to wait another day, but when we're told that the cards will be shipped same day for Saturday delivery and it doesn't happen then it sucks a bit.

Same boat bud. Used the code and thought I had made the cut off period. Think I'll give them a call tommorow I guess.

Didnt change anything on delivery. .. when they say free next day you'd think they would know the days of the week. And my order time was 13:57 ! Suckered ppl into making mistakes - still not as bad as the last time when they sent me a card i'd RMA'd as a new one on a new order with a new payment! Then told i would be refunded the £19 it cost me to return the card and never did! Nvm - wont happen again :/

Yeah it is mildly frustrating. Obviously everyone is trying to rush through their orders as fast as humanly possible due to stock issues, putting in the code I naively assumed would mean they'd automatically give you Saturday delivery.

Oh well. If it's Sunday then it's Sunday.

ToastedChip · 27 May 2016 at 22:37

Its not sunday lol ... bank holiday so that means tues 31st which is what dpd just sent. Doh!

Still nothing for me, they should be next day because I got FEs so we'll see tomorrow I guess. Really wanted them on Saturday though.

Order Status: Processing Clearance

What does that mean?

It means the CC company declined part of the payment so you're getting something from the clearance section.....dunno, probably clearing your payment?

good one he will be panicking now.

Why is it OCUK servers get bogged down when 500+ are on and the competitors don't?

I thought this new shop site was to fix that!

You had to manually select "Saturday" on the checkout, it defaults to next-day

I made this 'mistake' as well trying to check out as fast as physically possible but realised what I had done about ten minutes later so I phoned up OCUK staff and they kindly changed it to sat for me

Damm. Think that's where I messed up. I did actually select sat delivery but system crashed three times when pressing the final complete button due to being so bogged down. Had to repeat that process 4 times and did not bother to check if Saturday was still ticked. Seems not

Paulington · 28 May 2016 at 09:15

Well I called them today and yes, you had to manually select Saturday, how frustrating.

However, even though I ordered at 14:03 yesterday apparently I missed the first batch, really? :confused:

. Next batch is coming in on the 17th of June so at this rate I might just cancel my order.

dishwasherwong · 28 May 2016 at 09:15

Well despite my ordering at 2:04 the website got so inundated with requests they had no stock left. Clearly not got hardware capable of coping with demand.

Order cancelled, should have stuck with Scan.

Same for me bud, I cancelled though. I thought that I might as well wait until the hype dies down and wait for there to be considerably stock and also more selection.

I'm sorry to hear that mate, hopefully it will come soon for you

The website did crawl to a stuttering mess I have to say and if I hadnt hit F5 at about 6 minutes to two I probably wouldnt have got the card I wanted!
