Finally!!! After more than a month waiting, I successfully bought one GTX 1080 FTW from newegg just now (like literally 5 mins ago). I overnighted it immediately since I'm a Premier member.
Note: That alarm notification from nowinstock.net website doesn't even work at all or maybe it is delayed.
Interesting. My situation:
I saw they had the "backorder" option on 7/7, so I pulled the trigger. Payment was charged on 7/8, and it's still in "packaging", 4 days later.
Not all that happy, since it appears mine was "backorder" and you were able to get one done same day.
I talked to them earlier this morning (before seeing your post) and they said mine would "likely be shipped today"...
I've been a (Premiere) customer of theirs for 10-15 years (couldn't even begin to guess how much $, ordering for personal and business). My feelings are, if you don't have one, then don't charge me until you do. If you charge me, then ship it.
