RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

"Update on big shipment mentioned previously:

- 5950X around 100pc are due next week from the big shipment ahead of schedule, this will clear of all the backorders, so those who ordered 5950X will all get one before Christmas. :)
- 5900X the 300 units have arrived in our warehouse and will be booked in most likely end of this week / next week.
- 5800X 240 units are arriving ahead of schedule and should arrive this week and be booked in next week.
- 5600X a couple hundred units arrived on 4th December ahead of schedule and these have been shipped.

We expect more 5900, 5800 and 5600 to arrive ahead of schedule which we are hoping will mean our entire backlog of Ryzen 5000 shall be cleared before Christmas."
 
Yeah, what worries me is the silence regarding the 5800x from OC and the fact they had to source grey market stock (due 14th I believe - 15units).
This leads me to believe they might not be getting any big regular deliveries of 5800x’s like the “gold standard” is this week.

Been on the forum for over 20 years and will say this, the numbers being shipped by AMD to all the etailers for this particular CPU launch has been tiny, same for 3080/6800/PS5 launches.

OCUK are getting the stick for the failures of the manufacturers to even ship them, in some cases, 500 units of a product.

You can stick up daily updates, use queue systems, stick up forum posts until you are blue in the face but with no product to ship people will get emotional about it.

OCUK has always been at the forefront for getting stock in, if there’s stock to buy, Gibbo and the team will get hold of it.

what about the 300 5900’s they have in the warehouse but won’t book in until the end of this week or next for customers that have paid for them.

that’s my problem not the actual stock shortage

Not sure if you are aware but there is this thing called Covid and that has big impacts on warehouse staff at moment due to distancing and similar. To the point OcUK have been running for at least a month 24/7 in warehouse. Their normal daily pick time for order is about 3 days I have found because they just don't have the staff available to the amount of overall orders. Having to track it, book it in and then dispatch is something that would normally take a day to do with normal circumstances but we just don't have that. To note my order for the 6900xt from a competitor is same where it didn't get picked till gone midnight because staffing even though they also now 24 hour. It isn't just here.

My complaints aren’t to do with the poor stock supply from AMD. It’s the lack of transparency from OC, a simple daily update saying “no stock arrived” would suffice. The fact there is another company doing exactly that, and I’m having to check their daily updates to assume similar deliveries isn’t good enough.
 
What i will say in response to the above and i will sign off. OCUK is a multi-million pound business that got to where it is because it is number one for shipping and customer care.

If you are AMD/Nvidia/Sony and you can’t ship 500 units of a product at Christmas to the top etailer in the country you don’t have a business and you don’t have a launch, you have a limited public beta test.

Businesses can’t succeed like this and i am sure, behind the scenes that every single link in the supply chain is trying to get all this sorted out as quickly as possible.

I'm guessing they have multiple pallets of loads of items coming in every day. Having worked in a warehouse in my youth, stripping down a pallet, scanning all the items, then shelving it is a big job on it's own. There is then the next part of the process to pick, pack and dispatch and allocate to the shipping company. None of these are quick jobs and are made so much harder by social distancing etc that needs to be added to the time at the moment.

I'd love to get my 5900x as well, but we have to be reasonable about how much stock is being brought in and shipped out at the moment. This company is not Amazon or Ocado, they don't have the huge warehouses and automated systems that these super scaled companies have.

As have I. The one sure thing about not booking stock in as it comes in is that it goes missing.

didn’t get picked gone midnight sure, the same thing happened with my 3090. But over a week ? Come on..
 
I see 5950X in stock elsewhere, £947, would anyone really pay that, it seems crazy when we can just wait a little

Just managed to secure a 5800X from a competitor with delivery in the next couple of days so should be a nice upgrade over the 3600 I'm currently running.
