Isn't that exactly what a pre-order is though? I don't see anything wrong with a retailer letting someone join the back of the line - it's a niche bit of hardware, I can't imagine many people in the market for one wouldn't be aware of the deal now, especially after this week. Anyone buying one now knows that they're not in stock and won't be for a very long time

Obviously wait times should be communicated better and stuff, and you'd hope that once retailers get a clearer idea from suppliers they'll pass that along, but I don't feel like still taking preorders at all is some ridiculous thing for a store to do?
I would agree with you on that if not for one point. OCUK take payment at time of purchase, not at time of stock allotment / shipping. They're basically inviting people to give them money for them to earn interest on (no matter how small the amount that is), with no word on when they will ship the product and without saying they have a (let's be honest) MASSIVE backlog of orders. It just seems disingenuous in my eyes.

What went wrong is the product was launched too early, manufacturing should be going on for a couple of months at least before orders get taken, with warehouses full of produced goods, but the modern business world doesnt like to sell without already having orders, so they launch when barely anything is produced, effectively meaning they know the demand first.

It's not that big of a deal but if you want a bit of separation between gigabyte there's the gaming OC and the Eagle to factor for. I'm just being pedantic

To help visualise it a bit more, here's what you're dealing with. There's definitely a bigger increase after 15:00. This is just off the information that has been submitted, and there are some points where order numbers are lower even if they were ordered later.

Roughly speaking if you want to know your place in the queue it's the order number minus the 586 at the front. So if your email (not OC) order number is 5864000 then you can assume that you're 4,000th in the queue +/-200.

You are making assumptions that the order number is your relative place in the queue. We don't know that and that would not be 'first come first served' that would be 'first order completed, first served'. As I said earlier once you placed an order how long it takes to authorise merchant payments with card providers and banks is not down to the customer that is on OcUK's side with their payment and fulfilment systems.

Yeah good point. I drew the line at this level of separation based on people's input.

You are making assumptions that the order number is your relative place in the queue. We don't know that and that would not be 'first come first served' that would be 'first order completed, first served'. As I said earlier once you placed an order how long it takes to authorise merchant payments with card providers and banks is not down to the customer that is on OcUK's side with their payment and fulfilment systems.

Yep what I said is based on that assumption because that's the only thing that we can keep track of. It could be entirely irrelevant.
