The reaper I nabbed in the 10.15 pm drop on Thursday evening was delivered to me at 11.30 am today (well technically yesterday) here in Ireland, so pretty good going. Nice compact quiet card. My i5-12400 is more of a bottle neck than I expected so will replace it after selling the 6750xt. Thanks for your efforts Gibbo.

Further to this, it seems that DPD haven't actually lost the parcel - they just omitted to either log location scans or upload those scans to their system - as "as if by magic" when I checked first thing this morning there are now six new location scans for the parcel, two of which took place on Saturday, then nothing for over two days until there were another four in quick succession just before I posted this yesterday.
Wonder if you'll get a response to that, certainly looks like it went through.Worked it out

The right thing for them to do is send you the card for that price. I'm sure there will be some excuse though!Worked it outimgur.com

While I'm a pessimist i like it when people are optimistic however there comes a time when you have to start entertaining the idea that this maybe the new normal.
All the while TSMC has full order books prices are not going to come down, and all the while their partners can sell their wafer allocations into higher profit margin sectors prices of GPUs are not going to come down. The fact is gaming GPUs are one of, if not the, lowest profit margin sectors for TSMC's partners, AMD/Intel would much rather manufacture & sell enterprise CPUs, Nvidia would much rather sell enterprise GPUs.
Gaming GPUs are what you manufacture when you've booked wafer allocation and you have to much stock of CPUs and/or enterprise GPUs.

I dont think scalpers got that many tbh yes we had some on ebay but not 100's
someone asked him in a thread and he replied yes
Currently waiting for it to arrive back at OCUK so they can inspect and see if its just the packaging damaged. Fingers crossed it is.Wasnt going to be in yesterday when my 9070xt reaper was supposed to be delivered so i changed delivery to today, and after no notifications today I jumped on DPD chat and apparently its been "damaged" in transit. I got this for MSRP so Im really hoping @Gibbo and the team can get this sorted for me. But im very aware of the stock levels and such. Very annoying spent the morning setting up a new linux setup as moving from nvidia so needed to move from bazzite.
I don't see it happening. As apparently putting on a blog and forum instructions on how to buy is expected behaviour and it's the customer's fault for clicking the purchase option that was working when the site wasn't able to take money due to crashing.
Do you have an OcUK order number?
If the order did go through you will have an OcUK order number.
OcUK does not cancel peoples orders, we have never done this and we always fulfil back orders at ordered price, so if you have an OcUK order number, I shall get CS to confirm it this end and if we did get the order, I shall find out the details. If we did get it and someone this end cancelled it then I shall make sure it is honoured.
Post the OcUK order number as a reply to me and I shall get it looked into.
Would this include if the GPU was damaged in transit?Do you have an OcUK order number?

RMA will replace your damaged card but of course you will need to wait until we are restocked, have you had an update?

@Gibbo here was my Order Number : ST5714243 that was cancelled.
Order went from "Order Confirmed" to "Order - Undefined" then to "Order - Cancelled"
When in checkout I clicked on Klarna then went back to checkout and compelted this through PayPal, got to the Order Confimration screen on the OCUK website and order showing immediately in my account.
Got in touch with CS and they claim it was cancelled because of Klarna, even though I did not check out with Klarna and it was PayPal and as said before got a Confirmation Email from OCUK and PayPal.
Yeah currently waiting to see if it was just the box damaged, if so Im happy having it back. Just checking what would happen if the card is damaged.. Thanks for the reply.RMA will replace your damaged card but of course you will need to wait until we are restocked, have you had an update?
just be patient, it isn't the covid/mining era when nothing was available, the prices will stabilise, it isn't going to take that long.
They still make good money on consumer GPUs and £500 is still a lot of money for a mid range graphics.
Sure, both AMD and Nvidia would love to mark up all their products with 1000%, like leather jacket managed to do with H100 for example, but we have a choice.
AI GPUs still need to prove they can make money for those investing. At this moment, it's still just a hope of getting all the money back.
Time will tell, I just refuse to pay more and not because I can't afford it, if that means console gaming only, be it.

Seen a number of posts describe edging prices up a bit here, a bit there. Vote with your wallets people.
Sorry just only seen this, I got 2 emails but the order on the site went straight from "Preparing Order" to "Delivered".
Have you had any updates?
