So I ordered my mew system yesterday and have just checked whats happening on the web site and it says 'Security validation'.

anyone know what this means ?? Idealy i want it by tomorow so would like to see a 'complete' by the end of the day !

cant wait to build :D
 
It might be that your big spend has flagged up a security check on your credit card by your bank, if so expect a phone call.

oh yeh never thought of that, bought a motherboard from somewhere else like 10 mins before so that prob didnt help !

is there anyway i can ring them and tell them its ok as im at work and they dont have my mobile number ??
 
Probably phone the customer services number on the back of your card and ask if there are any security checks against your card or something.

Same thing happened to me before Christmas; Ordered a case on Thursday morning and it took a whole day for security check so the item has to be dispatched on Friday so i didn't receive it until last wednesday...

Used the same card on the old site and never had a problem.
 
My order is at the same status, ordered last night. I'd be interested in what response customer services give you.....
 
I used to get this when I was younger or when I use a parents card.

Just give your bank a ring or wait (ages usually) and it will go through. :)

It is out of OcUK's control as the bank will not release the payment until the transaction is confirmed as legitimate.

Just phone your bank and they will probably get you to confirm who you are and let the payment go.
 
phoned OCuk and they said my order had gone through security validation but it was just the web site being slow to update.

so hopefully the orders still on for tomorrow !! yey
 
Its typical for security to be heightened during key periods in the year, especially christmas. It may be a bit of an inconvienience but its to stop credit card thieves.
