The Fedex invoice for the tax will be on the way shortly unless your friend is kindly paying it for you.

Yep, that's the right time period for sure, I was at ICL in 1979/80

Not sure this is something I want to 'win' but the first game I played that I hadn't written myself (in Fortran, to run on an ICL mainframe), was the original Colossal Cave Adventure, running on a PDP-10 that belonged to the DoD in the US. Not a lot of graphics back then :):

That has been the policy for a long time now, you only get one shot at an FE so pick wisely...

They had two local Pilots onboard but even then the Captain is still ultimately responsible...

I understand the context in which you are asking, but it does all come down to order cancellation. The trigger is in the hands of the customer though, if they choose not to use it for whatever reason then their money stays in the hands of the retailer. ... I can certainly understand why...

Yes, consumer law does expect the goods to be delivered in a reasonable time period, but, the 'penalty' for failing to do that is the customer gets to cancel the order and receive a refund... This is why I keep mentioning that specific performance isn't a right, the law recognises that stuff...

That is not the case, especially with automated online ordering and where the retailer has made it clear, as OCUK do, that acceptance is only confirmed when the goods are shipped. ... and once again if you did manage somehow to end up in court arguing this point, the only remedy is cancellation...

Clearly you have no idea of just how low interest rates on business accounts for cash have become in recent months. Over the last 6 months they will have earned around £500 per million or possibly less, 'amassed' isn't a word I'd have used :)

They are not holding on to the orders to earn interest, that is patently a ridiculous claim, they make pennies on the interest and lose £££ by selling cards ordered at MSRP that they could otherwise have sold for far more... Be careful what you wish for, they would make a lot more profit doing...

Creative, I'll grant you that, but still not something provided under current consumer laws in the UK. Your only right and remedy is to cancel the contract and receive a full refund. There is no right to a theoretical interest penalty... ... and as has been pointed out, 6 months interest on...

Correct, and the bit people challenging this always seem to forget, the consumers right to redress is to cancel the contract and receive a refund. That is it, there is no right to receive the product ordered, there is no right to stay in a queue but get the money back while you wait, just to...

I'm sorry that what is possibly the only time each year that many of the workers will actually get to see their families is upsetting you... It isn't like they can just clock-off at 5pm and head home for the weekend, their Spring Festival (Chunyun) begins on 28 January and will last until 8...

Unfortunately it is never that simple as the date the goods are presented at the border is relevant as well. At the root of the problem though is OCUK trying to prevent you from being charged VAT twice, because the new trade rules cannot handle pre-paid VAT on goods of this value, so that is...

It varies, but usually there will be both a limit on the number of keys and an agreed period for the promotion. It allows Nvidia, the AIB and the publisher to coordinate marketing campaigns around the promotion. Depending on the title, the developer will often not charge at all for the keys...

No, the codes will only be sent if your card has shipped, they only have a limited number and they can't be used without an installed 3080/90 and they expire in a few days time, so they are saving them for people who can actually use them immediately.

The problem seems to be that under the transitional arrangements which last until the end of June, the exports to the EU must be zero rated. From July 1st the UK entities will have to register for VAT in the EU "One Stop Shop" which is one registration for the whole EU, rather than the specific...

Correct, you cannot join a 3080 queue here anymore. Hardly surprising when the manufacturers are putting up the prices and still not delivering enough stock...

Certainly not going to offer you any 'helpful advice' without knowing all the pieces that are in motion, but FWIW, my own investigations into how all this now works, for my own businesses have reached the same conclusion. Shipping zero-rated to the EU appears to be the only way you can do B2C...

£650-700 is going to be happening at any point between now and the 4080... Only way you'll get that is with an FE, it was never a real price-point for any of the other cards beyond the first few seconds of the launch.
