Seriously, OCUK???!!!

Today is PayDay for me... so I think I'll pick up a gamepad, a flash drive, a couple of cables, an LED mod and a number of other random, completely unrelated bits from the shop...

Every single time I go to buy something from OCUK, without fail they are sold out. Even things that were in stock mere days ago, suddenly they're gone... It's like they know I'm coming, or something.
I mean, even the flash drive - They have every other version of that brand/model *except* the 64GB one I decided on earlier this week.

Is there something about the 20th of each month?
Full Moon, maybe?

Even after the insurance payout a while back, I logged in with a few thousand quid to burn... and NOTHING I wanted was in stock, man.... NOTHING!!!

Seriously, does OCUK not want my money??!!

Buy it on a credit card when it's in stock and pay off the credit card on payday. Simple!

Getting a credit card would end badly for me. 8-Pack will be happy though, I'm sure... as well as rich enough to retire in the country of his choice!!

Nah, just miffed that every time I peg something to pick up next payday it's always, always, always out of stock - It's been like this since 2012!!

I swear they're doing it on purpose!!

Is it just the flash drive that is OOS?

Nope, it's everything I was looking at, bar maybe one SATA cable, I think!!
Doesn't matter whether it's a piddly little SD card or top end GPU... anytime I've got the money, OCUK doesn't have the stock!!
I can only assume I crossed a gypsy and she hexed me...

I was surprised that the XBox controller is OOS, actually...

Strange that they don't have a larger stock holding of popular items.

Oh, they have loads of various popular items... just never the exact one I want, heh heh!!

Just keep your cash until they come back into stock or do the unspeakable and buy elsewhere

But I want it NAOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's other shops

Until a few days ago it was all here in one place, along with free delivery and OCUK customer service, though...

I'm still waiting for my money tbh. Well, OP's money.

Nah. Is mine. Get'cher own!!

No one uses gamepads, flash drives, cables, LED mods other random, completely unrelated bits from the shops anymore.
Get with the picture!

I'm old fashioned.
