BTW i have that motherboard because it makes me get free shipping .. with out it it will be even more expensive since i do not live in UK

stulid · 22 Oct 2011 at 14:51

That motherboard, £300 and its not even Gen3, can you find one of these - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-366-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

So you still get free shipping

dean_b · 22 Oct 2011 at 14:56

i tried it shipping is now 308 i guess since im not in uk i dont get free shipping

stulid · 22 Oct 2011 at 14:58

Have you seen the terms for free shipping? - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/sh...&posted=1&utm_source=forums&utm_medium=banner

You neither meet the post count, join date or the UK mainland only. Try shopping a bit closer to home.

i dont know much im new but with the first mother board in my basket it says free shipping and brings the total down .. when i remove it it goes up even more expensive .. im guessing something to do with motherboard :/ .. i am also logged in with it saying delivered to your home

stulid · 22 Oct 2011 at 15:09

That is strange, it might be because the Gigabyte is out of stock and would possibly follow later on behind the other parts.

Ask in the customer services section as to whats going on, as I didnt know you could spend a certain amount and get free delivery abroad.

There is a £10 difference between the two motherboards that could be affecting it if this is true.

dean_b · 22 Oct 2011 at 15:11

ok thanks stulid will do as you said and ask customer services

stulid · 22 Oct 2011 at 15:15

If it is ture and you do get free shipping when spending a certain amount (but have never heard of this ever, especially not abroad) then they can delay the order till all the parts are in stock to be shipped together.

dean_b · 22 Oct 2011 at 15:28
