I still have not received a reply, is there anything else I should try? or do I need to wait longer?

Try buying elsewhere. Cards have been coming in stock a lot more often. Or wait.

 a ftw at retail? where? 

Been seeing them come in stock an newegg and amazon lately. Below is a link to an example. They have also been in stock directly from EVGA. The excuse that they are not available has kinda run dry.

Call customer service and reference your email to them and they should take care of you

The 10G is not going to be produced in any substantial numbers now that the 12G version is out to replace it. I wouldn't focus on that card. You can buy a watercooled one though if that makes you feel any better. https://www.evga.com/prod...aspx?pn=10G-P5-3899-KL
Also, that 12G card I linked to you earlier is only about $40 more than the 10G's MSRP. 

didn't know the 12gb model's price has been reduced ,

It's hard to believe that the cards are available and at better prices after all this time isn't it? Feel strange.
