Here is an idea, actually use the notify option successfully. Send out a auto notify 2 hours before the actual start time. Sending out a Auto notify right at the time of releasing them is pointless, since some mail servers won't get the emails as fast as others.

Calm down children. I was late for the sign up like you. But guess what I watched the forums, and streams to figure out when release was. You obviously didnt want it that bad if you couldn't do enough research to when it was coming out. It was blatantly obvious especially in the forums. Stop bashing evga if you don't like the way they do stuff buy another product, but those of us that are happy with how they do things for the most part will keep the money in their pockets to keep getting these incredible products produced by them with their far Superior customer service.

That's fine with me, everyone should have a fair chance. I do not see any "Notices" for "Notify" option saying it is first come first serve. Terrible system. Your sentence "Maybe signup using a mail server that isnt delayed." contradicts your other one "Also, you are in a notification queue, you get the email in the order you sign up. Not what everyone wants to hear.". 
 
Stop being a fan boy. 
 
Edit: Ahh i see mod.... makes sense now.

Just a notice to UK members, paypal charge an absurd fee for the exchange rates. You end up paying a high premium when converting euros to gb pounds. Just beware and check the rate so you know.

I didn't get an option other than to use paypal.

Yeah Paypal really screw you on this front, when I did my order I was careful to switch it so they billed my card in EUR.  No conversion fees on this card. 

Good Job man, Guess I rushed that part... was just glad to see the card back in stock again and just wanted complete the order asap.

I still thought it worked out quite cheap, and im saving either way.

But yeah, I live and I learn ;)

Just a question - have you actually been billed anything at all either through Paypal or your card yet?  I haven't but I got my pre-order confirmation e-mail (and it shows up in my EVGA account too) instantly.

I'm in the same boat as you, looks like everything went through on EVGA side, and I was asked to supply PayPal details and log in. But nothing has been charged to my PayPal/ bank account as of yet.
 
Wouldn't worry too much though, I mean we have the order number and everything. The ball is in EVGA's court. They are responsible for our pre-orders now.

Companies are not supposed to charge for preorders until they are within 2 weeks of shipment, it's a credit card processor rule. I believe eVGA says they place a $1 authorization on your credit card to confirm the card is active and working, and then do not charge until time of shipment.

Oh I am not worried, realistically if there was any problem I'd be asking the question "Well why is the order in my EVGA account then?", I was just curious if you'd seen any charges since it seemed like you were in the UK as well, so if you had been charged *then* I might be worried haha.  I noticed some US users saying they'd been charged a $1 authorisation but it seems like they didn't pay through Paypal whereas we had to.  To be honest, I checked my Paypal account pretty thoroughly and I couldn't see any authorisation or anything for EVGA to take future payment when the card is ready to ship, so I wonder if it will be a manual process of paying the full amount when they are ready.  If it is that, then maybe you'd have chance to bill your card in in EUR instead of converted GBP by Paypal.  I think the difference is about £25 at the moment on the card cost for me if I bill in EUR vs. letting Paypal bill me in GBP, although who knows what the EUR/GBP rate will be like in May.

That might be country based or with a specific processor.  There's no such rule in law or anything or blanket across credit card processors that I know of, and that comes from someone who has been signed up with at least 3 different processors that haven't had any such terms.  In fact, it's pretty normal in the UK to take full payment when you do a preorder.  It avoids issues such as cards being declined and people getting disappointed and missing out on their preordered item and stuff like that.
