I have really been holding out for an EVGA 2080 ti bought directly from Amazon, but am growing frustrated. Especially, when I can buy several Asus cards from Amazon directly. Is there a plan for EVGA to boost stock on Amazon? I don't want to buy from EVGA directly because it was a bit of a hassle last time I did, where Amazon will just get me the item. If there is no plan, then I am just going to buy the Asus card.

    Last time they gave me a hassle about verification of payment, when there turned out to be no issue at all. Amazon has never given me trouble. They also require a signature, which I understand, but Amazon will deliver it to a locker. It is just A LOT easier to buy from Amazon.

    Plus, the return process is extremely easy with Amazon. They will send me a replacement before I return the defective item, they will refund with no questions asked...

    My question here is, if Asus can do it than why can't EVGA?

    Let's compare sizes of companies. Let's compare the accounting, legal and delivery subsystems of each company.
    Let's understand that a company that's volumes of magnitude LARGER than eVGA can do things a smaller company can't.
     
    Try asking Asus to deliver to a locker. I'm betting they won't either.
     
    But yeah...come here and complain that a small (compared to Amazon) company can't do what a huge company can.

    I asked a simple question, if they can't deliver then I will move on. This is how competition works. I did not come here to complain, I came here to ask a deciding question from EVGA (knowing that they read and respond to these forums). On the other hand, it seems like YOU came here to argue.

    This is a Public Forum that is Member to Member.
    If you want an answer from EVGA then ask through the Official Process that is in place.

    Contact Us

     
    Now if you ask Amazon this Question they will tell you that EVGA is not a large company that we get supplied from and when we do get them they are sold within minutes.
    Sadly mostly go to 3rd Party Sellers, at least that is what it seems like.
    3rd Party Sellers on Amazon
     
    I see only One Card on Amazon
    ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11G Turbo Edition GDDR6 HDMI DP 1.4 Type-C graphics card (TURBO-RTX2080TI-11G) by Asus $1,209.99
     
    That is that "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."

    I see three. Two are in stock next week, which I do not care about (I can wait). The option to buy from Amazon is there for three of their cards.  Plus, you have been here long enough to know that EVGA reads and responds to these forums.

    Now, that might be worth me looking into. Thanks.
     
    EDIT: Still prefer Amazon because of the return policy and the fact that I refuse to keep a card with coil whine. Amazon makes it easy to get a replacement or refund... Plus, the locker.

    Amazon is a TERRIBLE place to buy high end electronics. Why would you buy from Amazon when you can get it directly through EVGA or through B&H? Makes absolutely no sense. Hell, I was at my local microcenter last night and they had 4 EVGA 2080Ti XC Ultras in stock sitting on the floor.

    And why now Amazon's return policy has changed for the worst.
