Many things are not right at Digitec Galaxus, the descriptions, the specifications or are incomplete and the guarantee is also not always stated correctly. Price errors are also possible. Correct would be: Dimensions 299.9 x 126.9 x 51.7 mm (L x W x H)
That might not be the smartest tactic. Especially if you can afford the storage space, you should wait until the release of the next generation and see if there are supply bottlenecks again. If so, these cards will still sell for the high price and if not, the price will be lowered and there will always be customers who prefer to pay less, even if it is the last generation. So it would be a win-win situation.
The graphics card will probably be available for order again when the open orders have been processed. It is not yet clear how long this will take. There is also an article from Digitec in the magazine.
Hello, I agree with you, it is shocking to charge so much for a graphics card that normally costs around 1600 francs, I myself am also eagerly waiting for it to be available at a reasonable price.
But in my opinion, Digitec-Galaxus can't help it, it's just difficult at the moment because two large chip manufacturers are working at full capacity, one is flatlining after a factory fire and the fourth in the group can't produce due to strikes.
I also think it's good that alternative offers are displayed, because at the end of the day, everyone can decide whether they want to buy and whether this price is too high for them, there is no obligation to buy :)
Hello.
Yes, it happened to me a few times with the last orders. According to Digitec it says ordered by 5pm, delivered the next day: https://www.digitec.ch/de/Wiki/556 this would then mean that everything would have to go out priority. However, in the last few months, about half of my parcels have been delivered as Economy, which means a delivery time of between 4 and 5 days, depending on the motivation of the post office. On top of that, an Economy parcel is not subject to Saturday delivery, which means that the parcel sits around at the post office until Monday.
I recently ordered 2 second-hand devices and was also assured that they would be delivered by the next day. But one of them was in Ticino, the other one in Geneva and both were delivered to the post office one day later and then both Economy. It took a week instead of 12 hours...
