Yeah, still showing "In the shipping process" for me too :)

I decided that for an extra $10 I would get the Super Super Clocked card....

I skipped on the one day shipping and got the standard shipping (I might not use the card until the weekend, since I have too much stuff to do).

Well I meant that in the sense that it hasn't been canceled, not a kind of "why the hell aren't they shipping my card?"...

The BFG was the only one left at a lower price for me, so I had to get it. Not that I mind becuase BFG has just as good support as EVGA, but it is out of stock too. So I am going to have to wait maybe a couple three weeks to get mine.

For your sake, I hope they don't stop stocking 280's just yet :p

Can I ask where you are located?

Thing is, buy.com has the stupid 14 day return policy (clock starts when it leaves their warehouse), so if it takes a long time for it to get to you, you will be on a really tight schedule with the card...

Just a warning, since buy.com has an interesting return policy :nutkick:

The clock starts when it leaves their warehouse to be shipped.

The problem is that if you live far away from their warehouse and it takes 14 days to get it to you, you can't return it or RMA it...

Have no idea why they have this policy...

From what I can tell on their sales tax page (http://www.buy.com/corp/support/billing/tax.asp?what=salestax), they seem to have warehouses in New York, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and California...

If they ship them they are probably coming from California. Every single thing I ever got from them came from there. Although, I hope they ship them from Tennessee since that is sort of the nearest location to where I'm at.
