I ask this because at my local Canada Computers I am 4th in queue for the card and the line has not moved. Every time I call or email CC they state they are waiting for shipment from the manufacturer and have no ETA. I get if this was the TUF entry model which has 100s of people in queue but I am number 4 and Canada Computers can't get a handful of xc3 ultras a week? 
 
I'd just like it clarified to see if there is some kind of delay with shipping to Canada or something.

Alright so I might be ranted and exagerating a bit but having seen so many feedback, it seems anyone outside the US isn't a priority to some brands. EU might have seen maybe 10 cards from EVGA.... It's becoming annoyingly frustrating. So will be I becoming as long as we won't be valued. 

ya its terrible. Honestly, We are literally like a few hours drive from USA so its not even like they are being shipped overseas.

relax, EVGA is a US-based company. it's just how it is.
 
do you see people in the US complaining that it's harder to get Colorful/Inno3D/Galax? no. some markets just have different access to products depending where the product company has its HQ. pretty normal.

Aren't the cards assembled/manufactured in China/Taiwan and then shipped over to the US? A few people in the forum mentioned that their cards were shipped to EU directly from Taiwan
 
 

That's exactly my point, thank you ! It has to travel to be shipped anyway regardless of where it goes even if it's the US, which means it's a conscious decision to ship many of their stock there.

I love Jacob i think he does an awesome job but for some questions I wish he would be way more straightforward and tell EU if we're going to wait until mid November for example. It's the lack of precise information that's annoying because it feels like we're not told the " truth ".

lack of communication with customers outside USA is hilarious

part of my point was that since they are US based, it's only natural to have a larger percentage of the cards picked for US distribution than other countries.

u say percentage. but percentage of what?? there has zero EVGA units been sold in Canada.
I've confirmed with one of the biggest Canadacomputer stores in the country that they have gotten Zero unit at that retail location.
like i said, it is not the stock level, it's the lack of communication/clarification from EVGA

That's just not true, I know for a fact canada computers had EVGA units in stock... Very low numbers like only 1 3090 xc3 ultra at select stores as I talked to both stores on days they had that one in.  In both cases there was a guy that was waiting at the store before it opened to get it.
 
The release had a ridiculously low supply though, that's for sure.  My Tin foil hat tells me, they probably rushed it the way they have to get in front of Big Navi to try and avoid lost sales.  Cause if they waited for the cargo container ships to arrive with a proper amount of stock it would of been too close to the AMD press releases and the release of the card itself.  More people would of been patient to just wait it out and see.
 
Now with this experience under our belt... It probably only helps Nvidia, as when the AMD GPU does drop it too will be a limited release (unless I'm mistaken) and anyone with standing orders for 30 serious will likely just stick with it to avoid another long wait. *tin foil hat off*
 

Canada computers is still not getting any xc3 ultras. Ive read on reddit about them cancelling people's orders because they are not getting an ETA from the manufacturer. Its hard to believe that EVGA can't get a small handful of cards to Canada computers and other retailers for the xc3 ultra. I wish EVGA was more transparent about this if for example they are concentrating production on FTW3 cards.
