thats good news im just out of the range for this shipment so fingers cross the next is soon after
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

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.
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.
