Yup that was me, please see the screenshot here : https://ibb.co/WfQYzVr
I'm really hoping it's just a twitter person with incorrect information.
Not moving for anyone.

I really wish I'd pulled the trigger and bought from an EVGA direct retailer tooFTW3 Ultra just shipped. Due tomorrow. Not from OcUK. Super excited
I'm number 8 for the same card. I've been doing pretty much the same as you - checking Jacob from EVGA on Twitter. I was hoping a competitor's table of stock would be indicative of what OCUK got but I'm getting less and less hopeful of seeing this card before Christmas
OCUK get stock from distributors not direct unlike another big UK computer store

I've also made a thread on EVGA forums asking Jacob for input so
Note to self, only buy new generation cards from direct AiB partnersI have it - well its at home! Sadly I'm not yet

Enjoy!
My queue position not been updated.
The competitor price was very fair tbh. I didn't pay £20 for ultra as they're not binned and can clock it myself.
What has now emerged is that non ultras are almost non existent for some reason
I'd put forward the same theory as I have been for the ASUS OC vs non-OC numbers. The cards are physically identical, just a different firmware config, so the Ultra and OC cards just have a better markup and more profit for the AIB. If I was them I'd putting a Ultra/OC badge on any that didn't fail whatever testing they do to validate the card at those clocks to get that extra profit.

I am queued for the non-ultra, and this concerns me. I've seen zero reports of the card existing yet. No shipping, no images, no reviews, just silence.
Im so glad I went with a competitor this time round.
Not only was the Ultra £100 cheaper, it came this morning!
Can't wait to get home from work.
Nice! Do you know what your queue number was before shipping? I think I've ordered from the same place and am around 100. Wondering how many they're getting.
1. He went with a competitor
2. I got my order locked in at 14:13 so I doubt he was ahead of me (but if he was said competitor has given an ETA for the next batch)
3. I've spent nearly £4,000 with OcUK over the year but this is my first Day 1 buy, and the fact they knew they couldn't source them and listem them anyway is what pushed me over the edge. They knew what they did was wrong because EVGA are the only 3080 which have had pre-orders disabled and they just ignored the EVGA 3090 series.
