[15:56:44] <Leigh (Rep code 0585)> Yes they can come in upto 5.30 pm.
[15:58:16] <Law> Ok, thanks.
I guess it's friday then..
Yup :( Doesn't look likely now... 15 minutes! :slapass:Quote:

Everyone is just so excited about E6600 stock due :woot:
I cancelled an order from komplett and ordered on dabs Sunday.
I hope dabs will get stock by friday and despatch on same day.
Fingers Crossed :toast:
Maybe if they come before 5, they'll be nice and ship them :stick:Quote:

No change in my order status anywhere though, still "Awaiting Stock".
Maybe cause he has the money and wants to see which one will be the beast overclocker :DQuote:

my e6600 is in CUMBERNAULD at the moment lol nearly there should be here in the morning:D
Times up for Novatech :( No E6600s for us tomorrow... Looks like Friday now
i hate it when companies fob you like this :(
chillblast were dead honest with me which i appreciated and am far more likely to give my future business with them to be honest than OCUK or novatech in future.
hopefully someone will ship tomorrow. not bothered who tbh at this point
So will be here with me very early tomorrow if it does the same as my delivery today from Dabs - it was here at 8am! They are usually quite early but today's was silly. I thought they had a rule not to try and deliver before the start of the working day?Quote:

Hiya mate
I could get it out to you for Friday if you likes , you placed the order on
the internet for a Friday dispatch, so you will get the processor on Monday
;)
If you want , you can give me a ring on 02392 xxxxxxxx and i can sort out the
order so you get it Friday.
I believe they have just arrived in the warehouse , but they still awaiting
to be booked in.
They are FULL RETAIL ones and not OEM jobbies.
------------------------------------------------------------
So watch this space. :)
hmm, so no del tomorrow then? :(
they said before it would be sent today for del tomorrow :( :( :(
Maybe not tommorrow but you should have one for Friday, so its not to bad. ;)Quote:

just fed up of the wait now tbh
How come he said "you placed the order on the internet for a Friday dispatch". Is that because you didn't do next day delivery or..?Quote:

I said about them not being booked in earlier :) I know it usually takes a few hours from delivery for them to show on the system and anyone on live chat or anything will only be looking at what the system shows...
Anyone looking for an E6700, ebuyer has OEM's in stock for a good price (£370) here
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/114714/rb/20795861091
Not bad..
I need a supplier who gives out a decent invoice and I will never shiop at OcUK again. I'm tempted now to wait a few weeks and wait for the buzz to die down ever so slightly . No point in going crazy waiting for the courier to arrive and hoping that stock will be available and hoping on false hopes given by some e-tailers.
An interesting discussion about OCUK. I've often been a customer with them - prices are higher but they have a good choice of stock so I've been able to buy all the kit from one place and save on courier costs. I've never had to RMA faulty products but the after-sales service was poor and I've always found it odd that their forum was so sensitive about competitors. Anyway, good to hear some feedback which is not censored.
head over here then:Quote:

Novatech has changed to 53 Overdue, that can't be good? :confused:
Are you thinking what im thinking? I'm thinking that they had 67 arriving but only 14 came? And the 53 didnt arrive... Maybe? :confused:Quote:

grrr
53 preorders sounds worse because that means they didn't get any processors :(. I just started a live web chat... see what they say... hold on
I'm thinking they had orders - Last time they told me there was 33 orders, and so 67 are up for ordering. Not sure though, never used them before.Quote:

I think I'll give them a ring and ask for them to physically check if theyvre arrived but are not in the system yet :p:
My E6600 from Dabs arrived this morning at 8:30, have already installed it and it works ... now to spend the rest of the day getting the system setup.
The guy said, "yeh we were expecting them in yesterday but now we're expecting them today. There will be about 67 left because there were about 33 preorders and they are expecting 100.."
Retail version ?Quote:

Yup :)Quote:

Will be interesting seeing the feedback people leave him who bought them...
Gonna kick myself if theyre positive..
Dabs are saying 09/08/2006, so it's best t ocheck with them then (if you're still waiting by then that is).
Damn, did you phone them then? My order and the website still claim 5-7 days, but then i'm pretty sure Budvar's was saying that right up until it shipped yesterday.Quote:

Used the webchat thing on their website. Asked 'Is the 5-7 days for the Core 2 Duo E6600 definate, or do your perhaps have any in now?'.Quote:

Where's Jimbo... we need him to speak his his contact guy..
fair enough, still it does seem odd to me that dabs are getting less supply than smaller companies like ocuk or vaduk.
[11:27:26] <Lawrence> Hi, have the core 2 duo e6600 not arrived yet? The status has changed to 53 overdue. I'm a little bit disappointed in the service as I was expecting to get mine sent yesterday.
[11:33:01] <Lil> so you have your order number please
[11:33:34] <Lawrence> Yup, 3854730
[11:34:14] <Lil> just checking
[11:39:31] <Lil> these are due to us today
[11:39:54] <Lawrence> Ok, but that was what I was told yesterday and they didn't come.
[11:40:32] <Lil> no they did not arrive to us but we have been told will be today
[11:41:37] <Lawrence> hmm, ok, thanks.
I sense a bit of attitude...
You better hold em to that... "but we have been told will be today" They better live up to that promise! :slap:Quote:

might as well wait for a quad core at this rate.
hmm I wonder if Ingram Micro is Novatech's distrib... :/
No chance of dropping the price on the OEMs?Quote:

ok, lets do a special for extreme systems members. Anyone that orders today a 6400, 6600 or 6700 CPU will get free next day delivery that with some is worth just about 10 inc VAT. Please use the comments box in the shopping cart to mention this and the shipping costs will be removed after you checkout.Quote:

Ebuyer have 30 in stock now but the robbing B'stards want £255! more than OcUK!

yeh, I always like to have the box but..Quote:

About the same as ocuk when next day delivery added. And it's retail.. that's better than Vadim and never had any problems with ebuyer..Quote:

[12:53:06] </t jones> Hi, i'm trying to find out what is happening with my order. ORDER NUMBER 1111111 - i was told you would have stock yesterday but since then, nothing.
[12:53:45] <Lil> just checking
[12:59:40] <Lil> these should have been in yesterday now is due to us today
[13:01:42] <t jones> is that certain though? this has been delayed over and over again. This must be the 5th delivery estimate i have been given. i was mailed by someone there named 'Dan' that they would definetely be in yesterday and mailed out later that day for me to hvae it today. How likely is it that the delivery due to day will also just pass by?
[13:02:52] <Lil> our purchasing team spoke to the suppliers today and have been told it is on route
[13:04:21] <t jones> thanks :)
weird that quoting removes the names huh?
I dont think my CPU will be coming today i have a feeling
yeh, I'm gonna stick with them for a couple more hours
I get those feelings and when I do my feelings are always correct but I don't know how lucky you are :p:Quote:

Ah Tommo's post makes me feel better now that they have said that it is "en route"... Sweet can't wait for tomorrow!
why is en route any different to DUE TODAY?Quote:

http://www.vadim.co.uk/popup_image/IMG_1818.jpg
Nah, it's just that some places were suggesting they'd be about in September or later - I should have worded it differently, what I ment was 'At least they're coming in in decent supply to the UK market' because they've been so upredictable.Quote:

Anyway, finally!! Can't wait until tomorrow now :eek:

Good PR there from Vadim. At least you've popped in to give us the low down. Free shipping goes a long way too. I'm building a rig from scratch so I'm checking out your site now :D
All you need to do now is give some of us some nice deals ;) - the bloody US guys get it!!!!
Lol how many places have you tried ordering from to get them and how many did you cancel in the end :pQuote:
Ordered now, cancelled novatech
one left
