** OcUK HAS 21 CUSTOM GTX 1080 MODELS READY FOR PRE-ORDER !! **

[Gibbo]

@Gibbo no chance at all of the GLH going back down to £599? I'll buy in a heartbeat if it goes back down when I get paid on 28th

Nope, our original stocks were booked at 1.43-1.44, those who ordered and got one did great, because right now we shall be paying for that stock at 1.34-1.36.

Our cost has increased by over £35 exc. VAT (42 inc), our sell price is only £30 higher.

We are still about £50 cheaper than our competitor, this is what counts!!!!

Gibbo, sorry to meither - any idea on Palit stock? Just (today) put a pre-order in for a super jetstream.

Next week sometime.

 

[Gibbo]

Where did you buy them from? Didn't think anyone had Aero stock.

No competitor links, hinting or prices are allowed, read the rules please.

Hi there

EVGA told me at the conference they will try to ship a few hundred FTW to OcUK end of next week or week after if all goes to plan and will try to clear all 300 back orders we have on that SKU.

Fingers crossed, all goes to plan and EVGA clear all our backorders.

 

[Gibbo]

This coming Friday then Gibbo?

Ship out from EVGA end of next week, so it would be the week after into us, and nothing is confirmed this is merely what they said and hope to do.

 

[Gibbo]

Any word on the Asus cards? =/

They keep shipping, but the shipments are small like deliveries of 10 units two to three times per week.

They said they expect to ramp volume dramatically in July and hope to clear our near 1000 pre-orders by end of July.

Hi there

AMP Extreme 1070, we expect a few hundred any day this week, that will clear all backorders and leave plenty spare, we then expect a further 500 of these next week. This is great because it is one of the best 1070's on the market due to the cooler and 5yr warranty.

 

[Gibbo]

I'll 2nd this, any news yet?

Hoping for more deliveries this week.

We have had our busiest weekend ever on record, we think because the pound is slipping a lot of customers are panic buying to get in before any dramatic price increases.

Or people have just decided it is upgrade time or of course some people have being paid as it is near months end.

So our warehouse is rammed, lots of stock to book in and lots to ship out, they are doing their best.

 

[Gibbo]

As far as I've seen, OcUK prices are lower than any competitors anyway - so the increases are just bringing them closer.

Pretty much this, 1.31 is very saddening and markets are predicting 1.20, I REALLY HOPE NOT!!

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo any update for Gigabyte Xtreme this week ?

Yes they were re-packaged to prevent damage, Gigabyte hope to ship back out end of this week for delivery following week.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi Gibbo, Has any info regarding ETAs for the 1080 Strix for back orders come through?

Still small shipments, Asus told me they want to clear all 100 backorders by end of July, I am hoping this goes to plan.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Loads of MSI stock has arrived, it shall be booked in tomorrow, it is a large assortment so we hope to ship several SKU's tomorrow.

 

[Gibbo]

Any GLH's in that shipment?

Yes seen loads of Gainward too, but no idea which exact models as stock is buried as arrived last thing.

 

[Gibbo]

And news on SC's? Sorry Gibbo, I appreciate I may sound like a broken record, but even an update to say you 'have no idea' would be helpful if that's the case. Today, I've got hold of a lovely new monitor which I cannot yet use, so am now chomping at the bit!
Cheers.

Spoke with EVGA this morning, they aim to ship later this week I believe some 1080 and 1070 SC, so we expect delivery this Friday or next Monday.

 

[Gibbo]

Don't you have enough staff to unearth this stock?

Unfortunately our business is not just graphics cards, due to brexit our business exploded end of last week, obviously people buying due to expected pound weakening and we also had several containers and small part deliveries.

No matter how many people get thrown at it, only so much can be done.

 

[Gibbo]

Bring some temporary seasonal worker sin from the eu...........

Our business employs permanent staff and we employ staff from worldwide, that includes UK, EU, Asia, people get the job based on their experience, qualifications and work ethic, where they come from has no factor them being employed or not as skin colour, religion is not a factor, you do a good job and work hard is simply all that matters.

 

[Gibbo]

Gibbo is there any chance you can get the gainward GLH cards out for delivery to our homes for wednesday?

That is the plan, I met with our warehouse guys this morning, told them which deliveries were priorities to try and have done by end of today, they are now cracking on with it.

 

[Gibbo]

here's to hoping my msi gaming x is shipped today

It will be, all backorders shall be cleared today.

 

[Gibbo]

Shame the exchange rate has ballsed everything up now that stock is in / arriving.

I would have ordered but now I'll wait until prices become more 'sensible' !!

Fingers crossed we don't have to wait too long

Yes it is total carp. All the Gainward stop we have shipped at original honour prices, we actually made a loss on.

Prices are now adjusted based on 1.32 rate, gainward PO's were placed with a 1.45 rate, painful, very painful.

Need the rate back up towards 1.40, that is our only hope otherwise we lose big time when we pay for our stocks that have we already shipped.....

 

[Gibbo]

I'm sure Gibbo will let us know. Our pre-orders are first.

I already did, nothing has changed since my last comment, no further updates.
