What happens with "Pre-order" items?

Saul · 18 Dec 2007 at 15:41

I've just ordered my PC. The memory and graphics card are out of stock.

Would Overclockers send me the parts that are in stock, then when they are in stock deliver them? Or wait until they get the parts that are out of stock, then send them all as one?

Thanks,

Yes all at once and wont assign the parts in stock to you so if unlucky you could your in stock items being out of stock by time preorders arrive in stock.

Confused yet ?

Seriously.

'nuff said.

lol, I think what helmut is saying is that they wont dispatch anything untill they have the full set, and then send it all at once....( it probably saves them money on postage)

Erm. How about I ask them if they can send the parts in stock, and I will pay for delivery for the other parts?

Pick the phone up then and ask them, lol

I just sent them a web-note. I have no mouth. Its like the start of the Matrix D:

ahh, the perils of stock control systems...

One would think in this day and age, especially an IT type company, would have controls in place to flag existing and new incomming stock as immediatly pre-ordered/out of stock to the general public, for a faster delivery to existing purchases.

They have dispatched the items in stock for me, and will charge for the delivery of the Memory and Graphics Card.

Do you have other memory/graphics card to use? If not I would have waited for the lot.
