I sent my 980ti to the Brea, Ca address to step up to the 1080 FE. I followed all directions with the exception of writing the RMA # on the To section with the address, I did however print off a copy of step 5 email and included that in the box which has all info such as the RMA # etc, will this be an issue, I am hoping it doesn't get sent back just because of missing one minor error

You should be fine. It may cause a minor delay, but just watch your tracking. It can take up to 3 business days (weekend and holidays not included) before evga takes further action, as they are getting ready to get slammed with old cards coming in for step up. Just be patient, but ready to spam F5 :-)

Coming from Canada, paid $46.50 to ship to get there on Thursday, if I wanted it overnight would have been $133 to guarantee Tuesday delivery, so expensive

Not to worry. As long as you put the packing slip in there, it has the RMA number. It might make for a slight delay in checking it in, but it won't cause your package to be rejected.
 
Dang Scarlet-Tech beating me to the reply... Phone call popped up just before I could hit the submit button.

Thanks for the reply, how long of a delay are we talking approximately? Any way of letting the receiving team know or updating file, etc?

Scarlet-Tech
Not enough of a delay to send a carrier pigeon to alert them. Stop worrying. It's not going to add a week onto the process.. Just a few minutes while they open the box and look at the slip :-)

Lol sounds good.. Thanks again for quick reply

May I ask what time you did the step up? (Canada, so your might be central time right?).
 
I only ask , because I woke up at 6am-8am and didn't see the founders 1080GTX listed on the website until about noon (12pm) lunchtime on May 27th. I immediately did the step-up, but was placed in the queue-system :(

In Calgary, there was 3 posted at 7:25 AM, FE, the SC acx 3.0 which I regretted not getting as it has a better cooler and was removed shortly after and also 3rd card. On the thread I was talking to others with, some were able to see the 1080, others weren't, immediately after i successfully submitted my step up the site started crashing hard. About 11:45 Am 4 hours later I started with step 1 of 5 and within an hour or so I got to step 5 after making payment. Was expecting to wait weeks or even months but so happy I was on immediately after they posted them, just got to wait now a week & a half or so to get the 1080 so no overwatch until then
