IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
- Please DO NOT rely on receiving an email or push notification alert to find you stock. We will send notifications on a case by case basis. It is pointless us sending thousands of notifications if a retailer only has a few units of stock which get snapped up almost immediately. Just leads to further frustration.
- For very high demand products, don't be surprised if stock sells out in seconds. An online store may have only made a single unit available.
- Any irregular page refreshing or bot activity will result in an automatic permanent block from our server.
- Please do not attempt to sell on this forum. There is another well known website for that. Offending posts will be deleted and user accounts suspended without notice.
- Please refer to our FAQs for further answers to common questions.
Thanks, Admin

Curry's website is just a joke, no way they actually have stock when the alerts go off so be careful if you do think youve completed a purchase. I've been one of those who thought i was lucky enough to snag a card, only to get a cancellation 4 days later, this after them taking the cash of course. Two weeks and counting and still battling to get my refund!!!
Mc8ttack - 13/01/2021 13:55
You not alone. Same thing happened to me. I have been refunded by gift card, so now cant even shop anywhere else other than Currys. Customer service was non existent and I still get emails asking me to review my purchase with them?
Jackfish 11/01/2021 19:20
I was on the page 1st notification got to check out missed out. The was refreshing page for another 30mins through 2nd/3rd notifications didn’t see delivery option once
darkard 11/01/2021 16:48
This all feels like a huge waste of time. Until some retailer gets a lorry load of 100 cards in one go then finger clickers like me don't stand a chance. So long as they keep coming in to stock 3 at a time, there will always be some script or bot grabbing them first.
StanW - 11/01/2021 16:51
i reckon i would have got one on the first ping if not google being stupid i was on checkout but realised address was wrong
Morgs44 11/01/2021 16:41
I'm guessing it's impossible to get one on the second or third notification? Tried for all three but didn't get a single one...
mrthischarmingman2 - 11/01/2021 16:42
The Curry's site is terrible. I don't know why I bother.
Morgs44 - 11/01/2021 16:43
The only reason I'm going with them is because they have the 'buy now pay in 12 months' offer
dudload - 11/01/2021 16:44
clicked it within seconds, all gone
AndrewTomJones 11/01/2021 16:32
This is beyond stupid now, 40+ cards sell out in under 3 seconds. How hard it would be to add a CAPTCHA to the basket for high end gpu's?
TheDodger - 11/01/2021 16:36
Doubt there were that many. My script detected the page change within a second and opened the product page while I was on the laptop. They'd all gone before I could add to basket and make it through to the payment screen. Just the can't process your order error. Load of bollocks.
littlelegs - 11/01/2021 16:38
this one didnt even show up as available for delivery for me... the ones from 10 mins ago at least I could add to basket
TheDodger - 11/01/2021 16:42
It was first available at 16:07:44, first Stockinformer notification was 6 minutes later and by that time they'd gone already. If this is anything like the Ryzen 5000 stock, they sell out but the website keeps flipping between available and not available for 10+ minutes when there's nothing left.
AndrewTomJones - 11/01/2021 16:51
Had it in my basket and got on to pay for it clicked pay and I got the error this was all before the notification from stock informer.
nogpuhere - 11/01/2021 17:16
This site is too slow.
mavaros 11/01/2021 16:26
i has in basket and and cant pay by cr*dit card 
StanW - 11/01/2021 16:28
that happen to me but with paypal detected my address as next door so i had to go back to change it by that time was out of stock
darkard 11/01/2021 16:24
I'm pretty sure they are putting cards up for sale 1 at a time, that's the only reason I can think we get multiple alerts, and they always fail at the checkout. You are just not quick enough to beat some guys script that filling the details in faster than you.
johnhart1981 11/01/2021 16:23
OH FFS how fast do you have to be. 'We cant process this order' ...
Bet 80% of people buying them are just doing it to get a bunch of FPS they cant even actually see. So annoying.
guest1447078 11/01/2021 16:21
Got to checkout with delivery. Wouldn't let me pay by Cr*dit card......
StanW 11/01/2021 16:16
was on checkout and said cant process this order
Furitaurus - 11/01/2021 16:17
Same. I hate the currys notifications, I literally don't trust them any more
Nazemo 11/01/2021 03:57
I sold my Asus TUF 3080 OC. Its an overrated card. It performs the worst in terms of fps/benchmarks. Yes it's quiet and cool but it's at the bottom in terms of power(my specific one). Good job I only paid £675 for it. I wanted a higher model like the ftw3 ultra, gaming x trio or Rog Strix, but thought with the TUF being substantially cheaper it was a no brainer. Obviously there's the silicon lottery etc but on 3Dmark it was just a bad card and I had 2080ti level fps in gears 5.
skag01 - 13/01/2021 08:42
...you must be doing something horribly wrong if you didn't notice the difference with 2080ti and 3080
antonhill 10/01/2021 19:11
For what it's worth, my 3080 is being delivered tomorrow from Currys. I'd been trying for a week or so, and added the card to basket and kept refreshing after it first alerted on here. It allowed me to click on delivery and add to basket and purchase. Just to add, I lost out on other cards trying to use next day delivery. Make sure you're quick through the checkout, so be logged in and have payment ready. I used PayPal, which appears to lock the item in basket as you proceed. Email from DPD to show it's at their depot and being delivered tomorrow.
BigBob145 - 10/01/2021 22:12
I did the exact same thing by refreshing after the first notification came in but the delivery option was never available.
guest1377334 - 11/01/2021 08:47
I ordered my Gaming OC from currys on the 28th and haven't had it yet, rang them up and they said 100 come in everyweek and that i need to wait until i'm allocated one, wonder why yours is so quick
antonhill - 11/01/2021 09:07
Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme 3080 delivered this morning bought from Currys. Order placed on 7th.
mrthischarmingman2 10/01/2021 18:38
I've officially given up on Currys. Their website is complete s***.
needpcparts 10/01/2021 18:00
Lol 3 notifications for the ASUS TUF card, all to no avail. =(
needpcparts 10/01/2021 17:55
someone please comment if u managed to get a 3080 from currys
AndrewTomJones - 10/01/2021 18:23
Mate, I had it in my basket before the notification refreshing constantly and delivery option never went green.
Jovetic1981 - 10/01/2021 18:28
It actually got added at 17:29 according to my own alerting, but not announced on here until 17:40 11 minutes later. I doubt anyone relying on the alerting got one.
BigBob145 - 10/01/2021 18:34
Apparently the alerts have to be approved by admins before being sent which is bs
Jovetic1981 - 10/01/2021 18:56
Use this. Shouldn't share it as it lessens my chances, but feeling generous.
$CardList = Get-Content $PSScriptRoot\CardList.csv
$pattern = 'FREE Delivery Available'
Do{
Foreach ($Card in $CardList){
$cards = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Card
Write-Host "Testing Card at "$card"" -ForegroundColor Yellow
If ($cards -match $pattern)
{Start-Process $Card; Write-Host "Found a card on $(get-date) at"$Card"" -ForegroundColor Green }}
}While ($cards -match $pattern -eq $False)
Save the above into a Ps1 file, and add to a folder. Create a txt file and call it CardList.csv and add it to the same folder. Add the web page for each card you want into the txt file on separate lines with no spaces on the bottom and then run the script. There is no error handling, or inteligence added to the script, it will bvypass the do loop, but it worked and didnt bother editing anymore, you can add something you know is in stock to check its working.
Mc8ttack - 10/01/2021 19:06
I managed to reserve the gigabyte 3080 eagle. But before I got the change to collect, Currys sent me an email saying they cancelled the order.
2 days trying to answer from customers service with nothing other than "store could not fulfil order" as a reason.
Also got refunded via gift card, so now I'm being to buy at Currys.
StanW 10/01/2021 17:46
gone instantly got pinged on discord and didn't even show a store with it in stock.
needpcparts - 10/01/2021 17:48
yeah says delivery available on page but collection only after added to cart
TheDodger - 10/01/2021 17:49
Same, refreshed my Currys search filter as soon as the notification came and nothing available for delivery
needpcparts - 10/01/2021 17:51
currys is meming us
guest1431129 - 10/01/2021 17:54
This is so frustrating😡 , will we ever beat the bots
shadey6969 - 10/01/2021 17:56
Don't think its bots. just curry's being very incompetent
shadey6969 - 10/01/2021 17:57
From any address I tried it couldn't be delivered or picked up from
guest1377334 08/01/2021 10:36
I managed to order a gaming oc 3080 on the 28th from normal Currys site, I rang them and they said they Will be deffo be getting in 100 each week and that I should get an email this week saying it’s being delivered but nothing as of yet (Friday). I did however get an email from nvidia thanking me for my Currys 3080 purchase and giving me my COD code so hopefully that’s a sign it’s coming soon. Anyone else had a similar experience ?
Gimme GPU 07/01/2021 10:25
930 is just scalper prices at that point, absolutely wild
IndexRaptor - 07/01/2021 10:29
It is just wrong, it is the trade tariff changes though.
BigBob145 - 10/01/2021 18:55
Those tariffs are for the US only and don't apply to the UK. It really is Currys just being greedy ****s.
skag01 - 13/01/2021 08:45
all sites have increased the prices though
Octorious 07/01/2021 10:10
Anyone manage to just get the XTREME card? I got to clicking to add a card where it said "cannot process this order". Furthest Ive ever got from Curry's - they usually seem to be false stock.
misterspam - 07/01/2021 10:10
Same thing happened for me.
Octorious - 07/01/2021 10:11
Sad times
Hopefully we get one next time
mramji90 - 07/01/2021 10:12
same
septicsal 05/01/2021 21:38
there is no way this is correct, i was literally refreshing the basket when the last drop happened
Gimme GPU - 05/01/2021 21:42
stock was there on the currys site for me, just they only do collections and i dont know where tf this store is. Typed in every major city in the UK but apparently no stores do collections?
Nauman - 05/01/2021 21:43
Same here . Put in basket but it wont show availability in any stores. Literally tried leeds, london, Birmingham, wales, bradford and a few more ... lol
Octorious - 05/01/2021 21:44
I had it in my basket, said it was available for delivery, but no stores in the UK had stock and when in my basket it decided it couldn't be delivered but the main page still said it could be. 100% was never restocked
Jovetic1981 - 05/01/2021 21:50
Delivery was available. No point in trying. I've written my own script to track all cards on this site and auto open the browser on my computer the moment it finds "FREE DELIVERY AVAILABLE" on any of the cards. I was sat at my computer at the time it happened, instantly added to basket, logged in and then no option for delivery again.
guest1246263 - 05/01/2021 22:03
Even if you do actually manage to get it through to basket and complete the purchase be prepared to get an email from Currys in a couple of days time to say that they cant fulfill the order, this is after they have taken your money of course and then your left battling to get your money back! Twice now, similar to others postings i'm a couple grand down at the minute, wont be bitten a third time. You've been warned!
Swift-eyed wolf - 05/01/2021 22:18
If it is collection only, apparently that means out of stock...
skag01 - 06/01/2021 01:44
It needs to be delivery available for it to find a store..if it doesn't find a store it is too late. I got as far as the payment part before it cut-off...stock literally goes within 20-30 seconds its a joke. Unfortunately currys and amazon is the only places available to get these cards until the other sites fulfill their preorders. By that time you might as well think about getting the 3080ti thats expected to drop next month
guest1242642 05/01/2021 21:28
Is there even a point in trying when it's Currys? They seem to put 1 in stock up at a time and even then if you're even 10 seconds late to the party it's already gone
outsideobserver 05/01/2021 00:06
Just a little heads up, watch out for the Business Currys site.
They don't double check stock at checkout and take your money then email you that its unavailable and you'll have to email THEM to get a refund cause they won't do it auto...
Alan72 - 05/01/2021 09:34
Ye they have done it to a few people on here, including me, got try get refund now its been 2 weeks and they still haven't refunded me
guest1246263 - 05/01/2021 10:04
Same here, thought I’d managed to bag one. Got the cancellation email and now battling with them to get a refund. Currys are hopeless.
guest1298145 - 05/01/2021 17:01
If you look on Trustpilot, you will see that this is their usual behaviour. I've asked for a refund for three failed orders (£2400) and now gone to the cr*dit card company to reverse it that way.
skag01 - 06/01/2021 01:32
Currys business is a total risk and their customer service is appauling. I had a cancellation after payment also and had to wait over 30 mins on the phone to speak to someone (after going through their sales team as their customer service line goes is busy and cuts off...) the lad at the end was helpful though and arranged the refund...I'll confirm if I do get it back within 5 days otherwise I'll have to a chargeback.. All that said I was successful on the second attempt and have a card being delivered!
redorbluepill - 06/01/2021 15:08
Yeah, same here... Ordered one through Curry Business and got it cancelled. Poor experience...
guest977993 02/01/2021 00:40
is it worth buying the msi gaming trio 3080 in stock on the currys bussiness site now or is it a waste of time?
Alan72 - 02/01/2021 15:20
They will take your money then cancel the order cz of no stock, then got wait a ages for a refund, I'm still waiting for my refund it's been 2 weeks now
guest1298145 - 02/01/2021 16:40
They'll take you money and not deliver.
guest1401586 - 02/01/2021 19:30
They probably had stock initially but it goes much quicker than they update the website, unlike the standard currys website which doesn't let you go through with payment if it goes out of stock...so lots of orders that don't get fulfilled and takes an age to get a refund. If you are happy for your money to be in limbo for a bit then you can risk it since these cards are very hard to get at the moment.
guest1246263 - 03/01/2021 12:17
As others say, Currys are nothng more than modern day crooks - they show items as being in stock, take your money then don't deliver, cancel your order or give misleading revised due dates. You then end up having to battle with them to get a refund, thats if you can actually get hold of them. Its about time Trading Standards went to town on them.
guest977993 01/01/2021 21:28
Did anyone actually buy one from the msi gaming trio restock that happened or is it just glitched
Matthew Huby - 01/01/2021 21:30
Got it in my basket, went to check out, went through the whole thing and clicked continue to finish the purchase and it stated “could no process the order.” Smart...
guest977993 - 01/01/2021 21:55
thing is everywhere else took pre orders and are still fulfilling them and currys is the only place restocking and their website has no stock allocation in basket and is broken when there is stock
guest1261767 01/01/2021 21:19
Actually sick of the Curry's website now
Maetras - 01/01/2021 21:23
Same. As soon as the alert went live I clicked and there is no stock...
Jakey118118 - 01/01/2021 21:26
Same here, I managed to get through to the last point of checkout then received the "Could not process order" error.
spoofo - 01/01/2021 21:26
Snap, got so excited thinking I could cancel my overclockers order...... :'(
Maetras - 01/01/2021 21:27
Oh you managed to get through to that point? The alerts have too much of a delay on them so the bots grab them up by the time we get the alert.
spoofo - 01/01/2021 21:37
I got through to the payment as well after putting all my details in, same as Jakey. This is sickening now after waiting since release.
Swift-eyed wolf - 01/01/2021 21:50
Okay I always get through to the final checkout page but there is never a store I can actually collect from...it searches the nearest 36 stores and no luck. I then retry for every city in the country I can think of and nothing works
MikeRoss1986 - 01/01/2021 21:57
Then you got there too late. If they have stock, the "delivery available" option is present. If you can't s*elect delivery, they have no stock.
Swift-eyed wolf - 01/01/2021 22:02
ok ill take your word for it
Jovetic1981 01/01/2021 21:16
Not sure alerts are working right for this. I was always getting beaten after getting alerted, at least I thought I was so I wrote my own Powershell Script to scrape the web page for 3080, 3070 and 3060ti. I've received 2 alerts in the last 20 minutes for 3080 cards, but my script has not picked them up. I know the script is working as I have a test for a card that is in stock, one of the other versions. And when I go to a filter page for all card revision on Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "***********currys******/gbuk/computing-accessories/components-upgrades/graphics-cards/324_3091_30343_xx_delivery-hd-ba00013562-bv00313767%7Cbv00313849%7Cbv00313952/xx-criteria.html" it does not show any. Everytime I parse that page I store it for 24 hours to be sure also.
MikeRoss1986 - 01/01/2021 21:20
I've got a python script checking for "delivery available" to pop up and it doesn't pick anything up either. That said, I did just have a card in my basket for delivery but couldn't pay so I guess there are cards in stock. I think they're getting stock in but the script isn't picking it up for some reason.
Jovetic1981 - 01/01/2021 22:30
I've noticed when it happens it's the the actual page of the card that shows delivery. My script checks the next level up on all cards, 1 item im searching against is "homeDeliveryAvailable" and another is that the class imgc shows up, its the main difference I noticed between results being returned for a filtered search and none showing up. Maybe we need to go direct to each card and do it that way.
Jovetic1981 - 02/01/2021 00:16
Okay, I've added each card as a seperate url now and am parsing each card and checking the add to basket option is available. Will see if that makes a difference.
Suffocate - 08/01/2021 19:47
You should check for "availability": "*******schema.org/OutOfStock" and "availability": "*******schema.org/OutOfStock" (you can just use /InStock and /OutOfStock since they're unique on the page). That's what I have my java program watching and I've had a few open up in front of me while watching videos lol, but even checking each page every few seconds I've never been fast enough to actually get one
Suffocate - 08/01/2021 20:20
I'm dumb and forgot to change one of those to InStock but you get the idea
Snapppz 25/12/2020 17:24
I noticed that they are in stock but are they not doing delivery's at all, or is it just for like the first few who get a buy in?
guest1298145 - 25/12/2020 17:30
No, they're not in stock. If you add to basket and the delivery option is greyed out, there's no stock. Same with all the cards. Why the product page shows collect and delivery available I don't know.
guest1398275 - 01/01/2021 21:34
That's because currys is delivering all their stock to the stores. I placed an order succesfully for pick up
Swift-eyed wolf - 01/01/2021 21:42
Yeah right .... which store?
Swift-eyed wolf - 01/01/2021 21:43
I get to the click and collect and it always says there are no stores nearby that are close enough...I type in every city in the country I can think of....
Lfs 24/12/2020 17:42
Really annoyed with this. Are they being delivered one by one? 😬
guest1398275 - 01/01/2021 21:34
They are restocking stores, not available for delivery. Managed to place an order for pick up
Chocolateadam 24/12/2020 17:06
Managed to get a gigabyte 3080 on their business site. let see if it gets cancelled or not
guest1298145 - 24/12/2020 17:17
I've tried to buy three cards on three separate days. Always showing plenty of stock, always get an email saying that they haven't got stock a couple of hours after buying. Then on the phone to refund them. Currently £2400 on my cr*dit card awaiting to be refunded. 😡
Alan72 - 24/12/2020 17:48
I'm waiting on £799 to be refunded on mine, not hearing good reviews on getting money back anytime soon, I'm waiting for it so can try to get another
guest1367333 - 24/12/2020 18:22
Two days ago I got gigabyte geforce rtx 3080 10gb aorus xtreme waterforce without any trouble, next day delivery on top of it. The trick was to buy based on the product code, don't wait until they upload pictures and spec. Set GPU website filter from top to low price and look for the code with 3080 in it to appear. All i knew when i bought was GV-N3080AORUSX W-10GD and the price
Chocolateadam - 25/12/2020 00:40
well they cancelled just in time to ring Christmas
guest1398275 - 01/01/2021 21:35
Except currys has never sold anything other than quadro cards on their business accounts. Quit your BS
guest1401586 - 02/01/2021 19:32
They do have RTX cards available on the business website. When they are out of stock they will not show up on the site though. Yesterday there was 3080 which is no longer there, but 3090 is still there since yesterday
