I called tigerdirect this morning and the reason why it shows "pending review" is because the order was placed online and those orders have to be reviewed by a manager to make sure the order wasn't placed with a bot. Best thing to do is call them up and have them convert the online order to a phone order which will bypass the manager review. Supposedly you will not lose your line in the order placed queue. The representative who I spoke to unfortunately told me they have about 1500 cpu orders ahead of me which could be bots or companies ordering up a ton at once. He also told me the chips are on back order with a release date of December 15th and I will be one of the others who have their ordered approved to get one at that time. Who knows what it all means but at least I got one pre-ordered with a 2020 date unlike other sites that give next year as an eta. Basically if you ordered one from tigerdirect online, I'd highly advise you give them a call this morning to have them convert it to a phone order.
Canadacomputers is taking instore backorders, a week ago i was 6th in line, now i am next. this is on a 5800x, i know the least desirable one, but also the one with the shortest line
Not sure as we don't have the MC stores here BUT if you get both and decide to sell the 5950x, I am in
Sorry..desperate soul here with a sad x570 mobo looking for a brainI would but I am planning to use it. My computer been stripped down for week waiting in getting a new cpu and gpu.Not sure as we don't have the MC stores here BUT if you get both and decide to sell the 5950x, I am in
I would also like to know. Gotta combat these scalpers somehow.Can you share details on this bot?
It’s popping in and out of stock. Has been for the last 30 min.
I just called and she said there was ~1482 or something like that back orders.. she said there was no way of telling where in line I was and that it would be by the end of the year they are guessing. My order was at 7:32 last night.
Its crazy how within minutes, they had over 1000 units sold. I'd imagine a lot of those orders were done with bots and mostly will be cancelled/refunded. Hopefully thats the case and our position in line will get moved up. The guy I talked to said they are getting in a huge shipment on the 15th, not sure how accurate that statement is but if its true then most other retailers would be getting restocked around that time as well.
always seems to be BC, last week each of the BC stores listed 5+
yah but with CC can't you purchase online and have it transferred to your local store? It's never come up where I buy something that's in stock at one store but not mine - but I just assumed that was an option
Not that i have been able to do, and i have tried
Congrats!
They all restocked yesterday on Newegg. Keep your eyes out on weekdays starting at 4PM PST. They have been restocking the 3000 series too.
Nice! You got a board ready to rock for it?
Thanks for the tip! I've been watching all day for 2 days now and haven't yet seen the 59xx in stock.
What rubbish this launch is. Tiger always seemed a reputable company many years ago, sorry to hear they did that to you.
When I first saw the post/link I was excited - Yay! I'm finally going to be able to place an actual order! Then I saw that it involved Tiger Direct. Well, I noped out immediately. Never go full Tiger Direct. Never.
Same. I don't know how they stay in business.
