Just shipped mine out. Will be there tomorrow. 
How long do they take to update the receipt of the card and then ship out the Step Up card?

They usually ship the day after they receive it, so you will probably receive your 1080 ti on Fri

That sounds awesome! 
Man this is my second EVGA GPU, and i think it was the best decision i made after selling my Strix 1080. 

It sucked for me cuz they received my card on Fri, they don't work on the weekend so they shipped it on Mon, but at least it's out for delivery :)

Reading about US customers that get through the step-up within a week where Europe is being left without information. Cmon EVGA, what is this for a kind of communication.
 
During the ICX upgrade promotion we got no confirmation e-mail the only way to find out if you're even in queue it is to log in on the website and google the ICX upgrade page only to find out you're pending. Now for the step-up, atleast give us a message "Us customers have priority over Europe" or whatever. By the time we are in line for approval they have most likely already released the refference models. /Sadface
 
I don't intend to slag off EVGA as the promotion itself is brilliant and I do think extended warranty options are great too, but I do want to share that we are guessing half off the time not knowing what we are up against. 
 
Either way, for those who got their 1080Ti's already, congratulations and enjoy! ^_^

I've actually given some thought to adding the water cooler seen here...  it's claimed to be a 30 degree difference.

I haven't watched the videos yet though... I plan to tonight and will make a decision then.  That is the 1080 hybrid kit right?

Yeah, he did a very good job on his cooler and can't wait to see what our new Ti drivers do to enable a better array of technical options on enabling more features on the 1080Ti and how much more of a difference we can see with new games as well. :)

Anyone know how slow the standard $12 UPS shipping is from them?  The ~3 day shipping or the really slow week+ ground stuff?

I don't think it's the 3 day unfortunately. Hope you get your soon.

Pretty good link to get a ballpark figure... as said I don't expect any more than 3 days transit time from CA to WA... that's how long it's taking to get there.  I'll post back once I get a tracking # and transit time.
 
But yeah, I'd say it's standard ground shipping and not the 3 day select so it could take up to 5 days if you are on the east coast.

I should Tell people why Evga uses fast UPS ground service, as was told to me from an Official in La Brea,  California here. Evga-Tech said that the reason for them doing the high-cost to Ground shipping is because it is more rare for anyone to want to wait longer by using a cheaper method of shipping by UPS. EVGA is always getting phone calls from Customer from either it be Step-up's or from people ordering their Gpu's online. It doesn't matter where on this Earth they are, they just want Now heheh.
 
So that is the biggest reason why they try to get the most expensive/Fastest UPS delivery service available, because face it, none of us are usually patient lol. By the way, this is what Evga told me years ago to.

I saw reports of people saying $60 and $70 overnight?
 
No thanks.. I'll pay the $10 and wait 2 extra days.  If I was on the east coast I'd probably be less patient.

If you think that's crazy, and some do and some don't, but for those that have done Sli or have gotten' separate Gpu's as much as 1 day later then shipping would by multiplied 2x $120.00, $140.00- 200.00, etc, and those people are hard-core Gpu enthusiasts. Usually people that by Gpu's like this Ti models and SC's and FTW's want their cards within' 24 hours if they could, and that's why Evga's shipping default is always the faster shipping method. Of course they don't have special Air to Ground and that could be because of insurance reasons where some Air carriers that I personaly know of including Evga can be a gamble, as some people get other people's most expensive freight crushed.
 
It can be a very big Catch 22. Did you try calling Evga. Sometimes people can change their shipping before it ships if they Call Evga.
