The supply chain of 30 series doesn’t follow any norms of a usual supply chain, the moment anywhere get stock they are immediately sold out. I believe from prior posts PCS are getting multiple deliveries weekly but in much smaller quantities then is required hence the backlog of orders.

Guessing this is for ASUS ROG STRIX 3080?
61 working days in and no email
Are you standard 3080?

I'm personally buckling down and waiting.
I'm going to learn another language and try to break bad habits.
Hopefully by then I'll see something before March.
I was told by PCS it was highly unlikely mine would be here before Christmas and I’m currently on 42 working days
with so many different things they're telling us and with uncertainty on when/how much stock is coming in, we never know. I feel like it's better for them to say that it's coming later than to say that it's coming before christmas and disappoint people
Same. But no languages and or bad habit breaking until after Christmas. There is too much booze to get through
Yeah never know what stock will arrive and is better to be told it’ll arrive next year and it arrive this year than vice-versa. I changed my CPU to 5800X and was told “PCS is waiting shipments from suppliers to assemble your device as soon as possible however CPU 5800X should arrive earlier than GPU 3080. It is estimated timeframe.”
So I’m doubting it’ll be this year I receive my order.
I still have hope
maybe not before christmas, but maybe before NYE. From my understanding I should have a 5900X allocated, because people are getting into building who ordered that CPU week+ after me, so it's the 3080 in the waitingThe problem is that with PCS trying to source parts from non standard sources, basically trying everywhere they can.
it can mean at 16:50 the forecast is none, then at 16:52, 30 have been sourced and due in x days time, then at 17:10 another 50.
Unfortunately, those quantities can also go down or be wrong information passed to PCS.
This is always the problem when any organisation faces shortages within its supply chain and goes elsewhere, the spot market is not hugely reliable.
from experience, you can be promised 30 parts, then when arrive it’s either completely different or slight variation that you can’t use.
From previous PCS posts, they are working to the wire with this and will try and cover majority.
Again from experience, when dog legging through various 3rd parties for parts, everything is uncertain until you have it in your hand. You are very much relying on every bit of information being accurate and factual, which for some 3rd parties is challenging.
They said to me the other day that mine was expected on the week of Xmas so there is hope
I placed my order on 3rd October and after 50 days, it went into building yesterday and it's in testing today! (51 days) I ordered a standard 3080 + intel i9-10900k.

They've made some appropriate statements on the reality of the situation and how they're dealing with it.:
PCS Posts on RTX3080 stock position
Hoping to bring some light to this situation, I have been trying to buy my own 3000 series card. Shedding blood, sweat and tears providing around the clock support. Here is the answer from purchasing and I thought it was worth a laugh. Our purchasing team is working around the clock, we are...
Given that every youtuber, news outlet, and vendor in the world has basically said. "No cards" I will say you're in for a very long wait. ESPECIALLY if you go ROG Strix like me.
Check the NEWS around January for what Nvidia is saying. If it sounds aobut the same, expect February/March.
Another possibility is removing the offending parts from your system and buying one individually.
