Monitoring is one thing, actually taking action and doing something is what we are wanting.

Made an account so I could post in here.
Have been looking at buying an evga gpu for a while but am still hesitating. I would pull the trigger if the step up program was available here (more comparable prices would also be nice).

So is the EVGA step up program available in Australia? Because it's the only reason for me for getting the EVGA 980. Because if it's not I'll just buy it from another brand that's cheaper. (EVGA is $779.00 where other brands are around $699)

Another vote.
In the market for some 980tis, would prefer EVGA but will end up buying what is actually available to me, choice is limited!
Shame I can't just buy the ones available right now in the EVGA store.

So here we are in March of 2016 and a quick check reveals that still, not much has changed?
I've had the 2GB 770 SC 2.0 for going on three years now. The card is great and I'm intent on sticking with EVGA but it's disappointing to stumble across this thread and learn that Australians are still not being supported as legitimate customers. Still no Step-Up program? How efficient are RMA's for Australians? I've been considering a 970 for a few months just to get the 4GB of VRAM, but with Pascal on the horizon now I'm dreading what that means for Australian pricing. I paid pretty much the same three years ago for the 770 + backplate as I would right now for the FTW+ 970. Any chance the Australian pricing of 980Ti's will drop when Pascal drops?
The previous post was made in June of 2015 so I won't worry about a reply. This thread was created March 31 2012, so four years later Australians still just can't love you as much as we want to.
Oh EVGA.

If your from Australia please /sign
The more they see our need, the more likely they are to provide direct sales to us. And then the "petition" is full of signatures from USA people who are like "meh, ok, I will sign... why not?". The petition doesn't really show a need or demand for Australia sales when it is signed by 60 people; the majority of which are completely indifferent and just signed for the sake of displaying their apathetic support to their peers. If you want it to mean anything, remove everyone for the list who don't live in Australia or otherwise have zero interest in the "cause" and only signed for the sake of displaying to their peers that they support something. I support you going to the fridge to make a sandwich. Yep... When it has zero influence on me, my "support" is very shallow, huh?

I am baffled as to why this would (or could?) not be offered to Australia and New Zealand. I'm upgrading my 1080 FTW to the ICX FTW2 now... but there's no way to upgrade to a 1080 Ti?? That doesn't make a damn bit of sense.
@EVGA??

I don't have any information on this so I have forwarded your query to EVGA.

The ideal would be to send my FTW in (which I'm upgrading to the ICX FTW2) and pay the difference and just get the Ti sent back. But yep, we don't live in an ideal world.
Now I have to send my FTW to California (????) instead of to an EVGA outlet here in New Zealand or in Australia - which is going to cost me a bloody fortune and I get no benefit from the 90 day Step-Up program (unless I misunderstand and can still use the USA step-up program even from NZ?).
Anyone care to tell me if I'm just being daft?

For what it's worth, this was in the email I received after paying for the "upgrade": Send your product to: RMA#: 5########## (NZ Disti - PB)EVGA RMA Department 408 Saturn Street Brea, CA 92821 NZ Pretty sure that address doesn't actually exist... so something is wrong here. (or we have a California in New Zealand I wasn't aware of...)

Thank you for posting that, the address does not sound correct. We are reaching out to the Taiwan team on your behalf so that they can correct the address and reach out to you directly with that corrected address.

Thanks Ray I got the card, had to do a bit of digging to get the address I needed to send it to, but found it and now have the ICX card. However, I was told by the person corresponding to me that I could indeed get the 1080 Ti via step-up... until they found out I live in New Zealand. :( I'm happy to pay shipping to the USA if needed, surely it can't be that hard??

Five years and still nothing? That is one big yike. I would very much rather buy from EVGA but my mum says it's a scam not being able to buy from Australia on the official site.

Right now EVGA provides Australian webshops and Australian retail stores with EVGA parts. There is no information about direct sales at this time.

I am from Canada and have seen outrageous price differences for tech based consumer products such as camera's radio's etc while traveling in Australia. I too would like to see these people benefit from direct sales. Side note... If when traveling to Australia and you are asked to fill out a card indicating whether you have been convicted of a crime. Say yes! It opens up access, to a speed gate. to the front of the line at customs. We passed thousands of people having their luggage torn apart to have special VIP treatment with no lineup.  Remember Australia was a penal colony... Welcome to Australia!

Welcome to Australia!
Taxes and tariffs in Australia for anything PC related including software is very high.
That goes for most of everything that gets sent there. The shipping costs/fuel are going to be astronomical compared to the rest hence why they sometimes don't get all types of products in general.

I compared wine prices while in Australia and I could buy some Australian Wines cheaper in BC than I could in Australia...
