So, I tried to order from overclockers yesterday from 2pm but the site had so many issues, I managed to get a card ordered from a competitor at 14:05pm
The issue for me and this is across all the sites, not just OCUK so must have come from higher up is that there has been so much secrecy from the off.
- No reviews or details until 24 hours before release
- No details on AIB cards on speed and boost until point of sale
- No clarity on how many cards are in stock
- Some cards being given a delivery date but this not being fulfilled
- Refusal by retailers to tell you where you are in the queue
So I managed to order an MSI gaming X Trio like I have said at 14:05 from a competitor, on their site and here on OCUK it was down as being delivered the next day, so the 18th September I would have my card... NOPE. I messaged them today and they won't tell me when the cards are in stock, they won't tell me where I am in the queue and the only thing they would say is I am near the front. That doesn't help if I don't know when these cards are in stock, I only went for MSI as it stated it would be with me today, even Monday or Tuesday would be fine but I no other info than near the front.
So my big gripe is advertising the cards, with dates that you would receive them which has turned out to be false.
