Import delays at ports.

Something for @vapor matt to read and digest.
May lower the rage mode slightly.
Before you talk about air freight let me assure you if a business can send something on a 6 week boat trip they will choose this as the shipping costs are dramatically different.
Either way air freight or shipping by boat. Customs and access to ports and holding areas is going to be problematic during lockdown.

there's no rage mode lol, but i doubt very much there are 10's of thousands of AMD cpu's in that lot. shipping containers are for large volume goods, plus the whole of the EU has no 5000 series CPU's so unless all the ports are blocked across the EUI dont think the UK's supply of Ryzen is in there. but still a poor show but port authorities, they maybe full of PlayStation 5's and the new Xbox though
Ooof I'm very lucky I managed to grab one did many others?

I would take an oem happily and save 30 quid and ship all by air.Actually packaging is narrower for the ones without the cooler

Expensive.

I was disgusted by the packaging on mine!
The cpu is literally right up against the side of the box, with a small bit of plastic covering it to make a window. Nothing else.
Why use such a big box, and NOT put the cpu in the middle where its more protected

I know people arent happy with OC raising their prices but has anyone seen the prices on that rainforest site? Just for laughs I did a search for a 5800x and the sellers there go up to £960 If thats not scalping I don't know what is.
If thats not scalping I don't know what is.The price is in the hands of the buyers, all we need to do is "NOT BUY THEM AT STUPID PRICES" and the price will drop, as long as idiots in this world are happy to pay twice the RRP people will go on Scalping.
Companies should make it very hard for Bots too, but I guess as long as they sell well they don't give a sh** who buys them

I'm gonna call it, if you are 350 or above in the queue, you won't be getting a 5900X this year.

yep. Chris Grayling is a notoriously ***** Minister and yet somehow is repeatedly appointed to Ministerial positions, if you needed any convincing that Britain isn't a meritocratic society
