Hi there Launch is at 2PM today, you won't be able to buy anything from OcUK at 2PM, you will just be able to browse MBA design product. We will make product available to order when we see fit, most likely later this week or next week and as usual I shall give a heads up on the OcUK forum in the GPU section a couple of minute before going live, we have around 100 and we expect them to sell out within around 30s even with doing an under the radar style launch. We will not be taking back orders, if we do over sell when we make them available, the over sold orders will be cancelled and refunded, this is not because any more are coming but simply because we are unwilling to take back orders any more.

Money gone from my Revolut so I am hopeful, as long as they did not oversell again. Still won't believe it until I get the box. Or some delivery guy leaves it in my green bin or lying around outside the door again! Do they not require signatures anymore!? I'll have to camp on the doorstep the day it's due, I'm surprised the skangers haven't started following delivery vans and robbing doorsteps yet. I got a box from amazon recently, it arrived in a taxi! And the taxi driver rang the bell, left it on the step and just drove away. This year is mental.
