![]() Thankfully my position in the queue was entered in like November, so I cross my fingers everyone getting bodied first causes EVGA to fix this before my time is here. At the current rate we'll all probably be back in the EU before evga get their finger out. Thankfully I live in Northern Ireland and was able to change my address to my sisters who lives in Southern Ireland fro the step up, whenever that may happen. The RMA forum is full of complaints about this also, and no-one seems to know how to get around it. Full retail price declared for customs on the packaging.Īlso be very careful sending your card to Germany from the UK, if it attracts any customs EVGA will refuse delivery. The RMA form is full of people getting stung for import duties and taxes on a replacement card. Can't imagine them being too happy if they get hit with an import tax bill for hundreds of £ just for trying to step up to a better OC'd card/custom PCB. I've seen some posts from people wanting to even step up from a "lower end" EVGA 3080 to the 3080 FTW3. I wouldn't be surprised if the package ends up being returned to me in like 2 months or something. Thankfully Amazon CS just advance refunded the £50 and apologised. The parcel has now been stuck in an UPS warehouse in Slovakia waiting customs clearance from the Amazon warehouse for like 4 weeks. On Amazon I had to return some watercooling parts I didn't need to use and for whatever reason while they were ordered from Amazon UK the returns label wanted to go to an Amazon warehouse in Slovakia. It'll be a bit of a scandal if everyone just gets treated as if they're outright buying an £800+ card from the EVGA store as new. I hope EVGA UK has properly prepared for this and that might explain the queue grinding to a halt for them to do so. Cause that will likely be a few hundred £. If everyone is getting hit with the same import tax on the RRP of a 3080 as if buying it new, that will be pretty shoddy. So in my head tax would work on shipping cost plus whatever additional cost you might have to "pay up" the cost of a 3080 if you entered step-up with a graphics card worth less. My RMA covers the cost of a 3080, so I only expect to be paying shipping. Well, for those of us swapping something that is of the same monetary value if not higher. Wondering how the tax is even gonna work? This is essentially an RMA, not like we're buying a new card from scratch. Lesson, don't just rely on EVGA queue, the EVGA cards are popping up now, even if you're not actively chasing every rumour, including the hard to get 3080, and above.Got my step 2 today as well, but as I am in the UK I have no idea what to expect costs wise. However, for the first time since the 30 Series launched, I saw two EVGA cards were actually freely available, but only from Amazon EU, and that added £312.01 of Import duties (Thanks Brexiteers) That puts the cost up to £1,872.06, more than I wanted to pay, but experience has told me to expect to pay roughly £=$ for components in UK, regardless of the actual exchange rates, and that import duty would still have been applied Current US price is $1429.99, so I've only payed about the going rate. Marked at £1,560.05, but unavailable in UK. ![]() ****! Not even been chasing after cards, it just showed up in my once a month look and see that nothing is available quick checks. Then after resisting Scalpers for many months, I saw a EVGA GeForce GTX 3080Ti FTW3 Gaming - 12G-P5-3967-KR on Amazon. Been using my EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 Gaming - 08G-P4-6686-KR since March 2017. Reading this thread, it looks Like my joining the queue for a 3080 in January was way to late, and a waste of my time, and I had set 2022, as my might as well wait for next gen, cut off.
