Batch 1 - FW16 AMD-AI-300 - Guild

Ordered the same memory and works oke!

Seeing that Batch 3 folks are starting to get notifications, I tried to contact support to see if what I’m experiencing is just normal delay or a specific problem with my order. I got a canned response that told me nothing beyond describing the batch process. So I still don’t know if there’s a problem, but whatever. It will either come or it won’t. I’d be quite upset if I’d been charged and left waiting, but that’s not the situation.

Same situation for me as well, upgrading an existing laptop. The 5070Ti is in transit. The motherboard is still pending (no change since I received the email about the Dec 8th delay). Starting to lose faith I’ll receive it before the end of the year :worried:

I received my 5070 within a week of the first email. It took me longer to open the package than to install it. I’ve been enjoying it so far.

Knowing that other people are in the same boat as me is somewhat comforting. I hope to get the new mainboard soon, but really, as long as it arrives, that’s fine with me. The Ryzen that I have in my FW16 still works fine. I am looking forward to trying to turn the old board into a Steam Machine, though.

My card was charged this morning for the motherboard. I hope you will be in luck too!

Now, I need to pray the shipping gods for it be shipped and arriving quickly! Given the fact that the previous shipment for the 5070Ti hasn’t arrived yet after 10 days, I’m not very hopeful.

I woke up to the payment email this morning, too!

I got my 5070 last month and the shipping was pretty normal. But we ordered a FW16 for my son and while it shipped fast, it did end up with one of those customs delays in Memphis, where it sat for a few days. What is tracking saying for your 5070? Is it just stuck in customs somewhere? That seems to be a common thing.

It’s coming directly from Taiwan (Taoyuan) and most of the delay was due to the French customs (almost 4 days just to be released). Even if they shipped the mobo today, I don’t believe there is a chance for it to arrive in time, which complicates things even further.

This time of the year is not ideal: I have several other packages coming from different places, and they all seem to have 2-3 extra business days compared to usual. People are probably working very hard to process the large influx of shipments, so I’m not gonna complain too much.

The shipping gods may have heard my prayers: I just received a tracking number, with the pickup location in Amsterdam (NL) which should be a lot quicker to reach me than from Taiwan!
