Got to feel sad for the pre orders I’m waiting till these are in stock before purchasing.

From the other thread "it’s not looking promising for them arriving today - we'll have to get an ETA from Powercolor tomorrow. They're asleep currently"

would have thought OcUK could track an incoming shipment :confused:

slighty worrying - you should have a shipping number at least from powercolor if the order has been dispatched. Just frustrating the lack of input from staff/powers that be at overclockers as to what is happening.

I seem to recall reading ATI have made way more 5870 than 5850 for launch, makes sense I guess as they are struggling to fill any orders so they may as well use what they have for the higher priced model.

I once saw a big etailer, not OCUK, ship to new customers before preorders!

It wasnt deliberate, just the system had a flaw that the stock needed to be added to the system first, then the process to fulfill pre-orders only ran once a day.

In-between those 2 events anyone could hit the site and buy the stock that had come in.

Fatboy is away for a few days.

I've managed to get hold of someone at Powercolor this evening who has confirmed they definitely shipped 2 days ago. Given that they didn't arrive today, I'd be very surprised if they didn't turn up tomorrow.

While we can get information from Powercolor, there is always a chance that couriers can let us down. If you think that couriers ALWAYS stick to delivery times then you are severely mistaken especially when air freight and forwarders are involved.

I caved and changed my order to the Sapphire 5870 and dashed to OCUK in person to fetch my order.

I like to thank the nice gentlemen that served me after 5.30, he was most helpful and even went to the warehouse to check if the 5850's came in before I went for the 5870's. thanks again
