How long does it take them to look over my invoice?  Just got done with my queue :) 

When did you place your step up request (exact time and timezone please) 

Took about 5 hours after step 2 to step 3.  THE HYPE IS HERE EVERYONE!

I'm going to be traveling internationally for two weeks starting 3/18... I really hope they send my step up before then! I did pay for next day.

Cards delivered! Can't wait to get home to get them in my computer.

Cool. Think you are the first to get one from step up. At least the first that are posting on here. Hopefully I'll get my shipping update by closing tonight. If not it will be tomorrow and I was really banking on it being sent out today since everyone posting in here has had their card sent out the day after they received the old one. My luck the I'll be the first that takes 2 days. Suppose it really doesn't matter since I'll get it by next Friday either way.

Have fun.  I got mine last night, not a step up i upgraded from a 980 ti.  Just in time for Mass Effect early access!    It's great, but I already cant wait to get it on water.  Evga needs to release the 1080ti / Titan Hybrid kits asap!

Yea I want to see what the temps are SLI first and I might go for the Hybrid kit also. If they can stay cool just air flow I won't worry about it. 

Got mine in que, didnt get a chance until about 8 hours due to being at work - after they launched the step up. Pretty sure I'll be waiting months >.<

Got home and got cards in. Turn on PC and windows update wants to hang out for a while. Post with pics and bench coming soon.

Like I mentioned earlier. I read, either on their site or on a thread in here, that they don't update their shipping out and tracking # fields till very close to closing time. Which I think is 6PM PST. Even if they shipped it this morning it will not show up on your product page till closing time. I'm waiting for the same thing since they've had my card since 10am yesterday. I'm hoping it's been shipped and will update in the next couple hours. If it isn't up there by 7 PST or so then it will probably not ship out till tomorrow.

Thanks! Sorry I missed your post on this, there are just too many posts to read now.

No problem. Too many posts to wade through. I'm starting to think mine won't ship till tomorrow but we still have another hour or so before closing time so maybe it will update like I've read. Either way I'll get mine by next Friday which was my goal. Probably get it even Wednesday or Thursday if they ship today. Here's to hoping. I've not read a single person having to wait more than 1 business day after EVGA received their card before they shipped the new one but they may be overloaded now and it may take 2 days. Just hope it's not 3, which is the maximum they say it could take.

Good info strato79. Thank you for your help 
 
I will add that in most cases you will get the "Here is your tracking information" email from EVGA before the site updates. *Edit* Yeah, just like you posted! 
 
P.S. Mine will be here tomorrow!

I just now got my email From EVGA with all the tracking information. Step Up site this not updated. Just An FYI.

Just got my notification via email too! Joining in on the happy dance! I can confirm the step up is also not updated for me.

I've never gotten an EVGA shipping notice before UPS. In one case I got EVGA's notice a day or two afterwards. The USA account is great for that, plus in extreme cases you can print a signature paper for them if you won't be there.

Mailing my 1080 SC ACX tomorrow (for the ICX upgrade). I have a few questions.
 
What will my step-up value be on the ICX since I applied before 1080 ti released? I read it will be the original ICX price. Second, is there any point waiting for an SC or FTW step-up? Or go ahead and queue for Founder's Edition? Is there any chance those will be on there?

Do you or anyone else know if a signature is required when they drop off the package on these cards sent to us for step up? Specifically standard ground shipping? I didn't see any mention of it and it's not giving me the option to ok the package without a signature on my tracking page On UPS's site. Usually it's there on all my packages. A "Release" thing you can click is usually on there. Maybe it's because they haven't got it to a sort facility yet. I may just put mine on will call and go pick it up at the hub in Knoxville. It's a 15 minute drive and I can go get it as early as 9am And UPS doesn't usually run to my house till around 5 or 6 at best except a few rare times they have came around noon but that is very rare. I won't be home after 4:30 and don't want to take the chance that a signature is required and not get it.

I am curious... I got my email confirming my entry into the queue for my step-up on 3/10 at 11:46 am PST and have not gotten a message that i'm at step 2 for payment.  Seems a lot of people that were about that time already got their payments processed.  Anyone else in the same boat I am?

I put mine two 1080 Classifieds in for the step-up program at about the same time you did.  I got the step 1 emails shortly after that.  Three days ago I got the notice for step 2, the payment, on one card.  I paid it the same day.  I got the notice that it was approved and got the ok to send it in for the step-up the next day.  Yesterday I got the notice that my second card had been approved for step-up and to send in payment.  I just did that this evening.  I assume I'll get the Ok to send in the second card tomorrow.  I may send both back in the same package.
 
So..., you should be getting your next step emails very shortly. 
 
I was surprised a bit because I read somewhere that EVGA was out of the 1080ti's and wouldn't receive any until the 25'th.  Perhaps they know how many they are getting in and sent out enough step-up emails so that they can have the returned cards inspected and ready when they get the next shipment..., or I could be wrong and they do have stock on hand.
 
Anyway, I think you should be hearing from EVGA rather soon.

The source on this was a wccftech tech article which claimed that 1080ti's were universally out of stock and that another shipment was due the 25th. I'd take a pretty heavy grain of salt with any of it.
