Techfast 5080/5090 PC Build/Delivery Status

Lroccohu on 16/02/2025 - 12:42

Hi this is a neutral post to share/chat about the build, dispatch and delivery status of the recent (31st Jan 25) 5080/5090 PCs deal offered by Techfast.

Anyone who has ordered the build please share here about updates of their orders and or experience.

I’ve ordered mine on the day so far I received an automated email on Wednesday, saying ‘your order is now entering the period the majority of systems are completed, which is around 8-14 business day timeframe from the date the order was placed’.
However logging in Techfast account suggests that order status remain ‘order placed’ (unchanged).

Love to know how everyone else is doing re these builds and hope everyone get their PCs soon.

Cheers.

    there is still 5 more days just wait. most of us is waiting still, their all sold out, they got so many to build. The weekends don't count.

    I also ordered and still waiting.

    • roccohu on 16/02/2025 - 14:39

      I’ve asked a couple of times first they responded but towards 10 business days mark the com was not responded no more, I learned that from other poses that this could be the case and they are generally slow.
      So despite I do hope for not too much of a delayed compared to their advertised time frame, I also adjusted my expectations. Hence a post like this to learn from other about their progress rather then bugging them.

    Unfortunately techfast is slow,

    My post from the other thread (modified)

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/886196

    I bought 2 ITX machines at the same time within an hour of posting from techfast.. 26/12/2024
    One machine arrived on the 31/1/2025, the second machine arrived on the 7/2/2024 .. thats 6 weeks and one day…

    Every machine I have ordered from techfast takes around 4-6 weeks to arrive.. despite what estimations as given..

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/889965
    the old timers here.. know..

    Just wait…

    Prices are excellent at Techfast however.. be prepared to wait awhile for your delivery..

    I think.. of it more as a preorder… / bulk discount.. there is no ways they have all the parts they need for the hundreds of machines they must sell during these sales..

    In the end, everybody eventually gets their machines or a satistfactory resolution.. they (techfast) have been around for years.
    Most tech savvy ozbargainers.. know what are getting for ordering from techfast.. its easier enough to do a search and realise all the complaints and dissatisfaction is related to delivery issues..

    Even worse, when something is NQR, and the machines has to be sent back.. after a long wait.

    In fact..a few of the 8 machines that have ordered and have been delivered to me from techfast, fail to boot out of the box.. and the instructions included were pretty much useless. Loose cables, wrong bios settings etc.. all an easy fix.. for those who are tech savvy..

    Why do I and ozbargainers' keep on buying them..!!

    Because they are cheap and cheerful… I cannot build a similar machine out of components for the same price, I can purchased one from Techfast.

    Enjoy your wait… may prediction is 4- 5 weeks.. delivery… or about 20 - 25 business days..

    • Rukiata on 16/02/2025 - 14:04

      They did state in the ad

      Our build queue is completely cleared after some longer than anticipated timeframes to complete our Boxing Day orders which were extremely high in number, but I anticipate quick shipping for these closer to the front end estimate mark of the business days we are listing on the website.

      I don't know if it means anything though.

    • roccohu on 16/02/2025 - 14:41

      Appreciate you detailed dealing and experience with them, yeah I’m not putting my hopes up just wanted to see how everyone else is doing.

  • nodeahs on 16/02/2025 - 16:07

    I've also ordered a 5080 build through them and purchased 3 or 4 previously. Every time I have used them they have taken minimum one month, so I'm expecting similar this time. They've been pretty good with any issues and you get exactly what you pay for. I've kept my expectations low for speed with them, I do believe they should put 18 business days or something though which seems to be more the trend going from past experiences and what others have said also.

    • roccohu on 16/02/2025 - 19:19

      Agree, more realistic estimates will give buyers better idea of what/when to expect and less unnecessary communication.

      • Pelicannn on 16/02/2025 - 22:48

        Number one rule in sales when you don't care about repeat business:

        Over-Promise and Under-Deliver

        • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 09:53

          I agree, but now I’m being very cautious about what I say here. I was accused of 'poor form' for tagging the sales rep and trying to follow up on my order (I asked if it was possible to speed up the order, but it was interpreted as if I needed to jump the queue). Despite some constructive suggestions, such as more transparent communication, clearer indications of our orders, and ETAs provided at different stages, etc., I thought at least some good points were raised.

        • Kelvin on 17/02/2025 - 13:59

          And yet they have buckets and buckets of repeat business..

          For pricing and level of support.. they are basically unmatched… and people keep on becoming back..

          Once you taste of the cheap cheeful techfast machine.. its hard to buy from anywhere else..

          I think the over promising on delivery times. is just to bait you in the first time….
          Once you are accepting of a 4 - 6 week delivery window… there's no issues..

          • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 14:44

            @Kelvin: lol, I've seen a few people praising how Techfast's priced well, which I totally agree with, and ultimately, it was precisely what led me to order from them.

            Despite how other users said their wait time was, I still hope to see my PC in the not-too-distant future.

          • Pelicannn on 17/02/2025 - 17:36

            @Kelvin: Oh for sure, I agree you are getting an excellent deal. Though, I’m with OP on this, all they need to do is be honest about their delivery timeframe to what it statistically is on average.

  • RAVTagsta on 17/02/2025 - 09:34

    If anyone has received their prebuilt- What brands did they throw in for the ssd, ram, and cooler?

    • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 09:44

      I didn't ask about the SSD and RAM, though now I reckon I should have. Can you send them an enquiry and see if they respond? I’d love to know what it is, especially the Hz and CL for the RAM.

      However, I did ask about the cooler because I upgraded from a 240mm to a 360mm, only to realise it's an 'in-house' brand, apparently. I probably should've saved the money and just get a 360mm myself.

      P.S. I don't think anyone here has received any actual updates on their orders(system auto update means nothing) since no one has mentioned it. So I assume, after 11 working days, no builds have even started yet, at least for those who visited this post.

  • rssluca on 17/02/2025 - 11:16

    Two people reported they received theirs. Looks like the 10-14 business days period was only valid for orders placed with an in-stock graphic card. All others need to wait for the arrival of pre-ordered graphic cards.

    Order placed on the 1st.

    1 x Graphics Card: Palit GamingPro RTX 5080 16GB Graphics Card - Pre-Order (ETA Late Feb/Early March).

    • Vinodra on 17/02/2025 - 12:35

      Those were standalone cards, but ill say that I know 2 people that also ordered standalone 5080s that have recieved them, both were sent out on the 6th business day.

      • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 13:25

        yeah, I believe those who actually received anything were related to just the GPU, not the builds.

        • Kelvin on 17/02/2025 - 14:00

          I got my graphic card only order in just under 2 weeks..

      • rssluca on 17/02/2025 - 14:34

        Oh yeah, I misread that post!

    • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 13:24

      Hi thank you for the info.

      I also did pay for the $100 'upgrade' option to select the Gamerock - 'On hand' rather than the pre-order cards. Mine hasn't been dispatched yet, FYI, was only just told that they are 'aiming to' send this out in the next few business days.

  • Vinodra on 17/02/2025 - 12:31

    I ordered the RTX 5090 system as soon as it went up around 3PM on te 31st, however I have no idea if they actually have the graphics card on hand, luke said the 10->14 businesses days is an accurate estimate for my order when I sent an enquiry however.

    • roccohu on 17/02/2025 - 13:28

      thanks for sharing please feel free to come back and let us know if anything changes.

  • Bennny94 on 17/02/2025 - 12:52

    Also waiting on my 5080 system, ordered on the 31st in the afternoon. Order status on the website is still "Order Placed" despite receiving some texts and emails about the order progressing. Initially my order had the GPU arriving late Feb-Early March, but a few hours later I upgraded the order and paid the $100 extra for on-hand GPU.

    I emailed support last week about the emails and texts stating progress, but the website not reflecting that for my order - they said to disregard the processing message, and that they've informed their admin of the texts/emails being sent to customers when their processing times aren't reached. I assume these texts/emails are just automated based on order date, but sounds like some were sent in error? They also still gave the 10-14 business day dispatch timeframe for on-hand GPU builds.

      Yes, I received a few of those along the way as well. I was also informed by Techfast that they don't indicate anything; nothing has happened yet. Let us know if anything changes? Cheers

  • Sb8822 on 18/02/2025 - 13:34

    I ordered the 5080 build on 31st January, it’s been 13 business days today and the Status still shows order placed. Looking at the comments i guess it will take 4 to 6 weeks, i am ok with the wait times but why not just advertise as such.

    • roccohu on 18/02/2025 - 14:07

      Counting from the replies, including myself, you are the 3rd or 4th person who has the exact same order date and same GPU.

      I have the same indication you have, the same status, 'order placed', where the option to upgrade is still available; in other words, the build hasn't even started yet.
      Frankly, I really hope that it won't be that long of a wait. I never ordered something local and had to wait over a month. Excuse me if I am a little impatient; I have 10-14 business days of dispatch time stuck in my mind :)

  • Sb8822 on 18/02/2025 - 15:50

    I wrote to them again today and this is the reply i got.

    Thanks for reaching out.

    We are currently working through a very large number of orders with complex and time consuming build specifications is taking a little longer than forecast but is essential to be done correctly given the value of the hardware in use. While we can't specify a shipping date or window for an individual order, production and shipping has commenced, and we will continue to produce and ship them in date order, as they are ready, throughout this week, next week, and onwards into the next batch of cards as well.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Kind Regards,
    Caleb

    • roccohu on 18/02/2025 - 16:16

      Thanks for sharing the com you received. Hopefully, those who ordered the build in the first couple of days will see their PC sent by next week at the latest, if I interpret their message correctly.

  • Rukiata on 18/02/2025 - 17:28

    mines been updated to Built

    • Bennny94 on 18/02/2025 - 17:30

      How long was it in the “picked” status? Curious how long to expect once mine gets there

      • Rukiata on 18/02/2025 - 17:39

        it was on the 13th couple days.

    • roccohu on 18/02/2025 - 20:23

      Did you pick any upgrades to your build? Wanting to know if they prefer to do the standard ones first, probably easier to do the whole lot of exact same specs in one go my guess.

      • Rukiata on 19/02/2025 - 14:04

        I picked upgrades, case, cpu cooler and ship GPU by itself, hopefully, that helps.
        paid with Paypal. sounds like its the first orders going through maybe

        • roccohu on 19/02/2025 - 14:28

          oh, exactly the same to me; upgrade to the case, AIO and GPU shipped separately.

          Lucky you that you have gone through a couple of different stages already, whilst mine hasn't been touched yet. My was ordered on 31st Jan too with upgrade to 5080 on hand.

  • roccohu on 19/02/2025 - 14:02

    Update for those who might be interested.

    It is business day 14, sent them an email for an update, only to receive the standard reply they provided to @Sb8822 shown above:
    'We are currently working through a very large number of orders with complex and time consuming build specifications is taking a little longer than forecast but is essential to be done correctly given the value of the hardware in use. While we can't specify a shipping date or window for an individual order, production and shipping has commenced, and we will continue to produce and ship them in date order, as they are ready, throughout this week, next week, and onwards into the next batch of cards as well.'

    just FYI guys.

    • Vinodra on 19/02/2025 - 15:29

      I should mention my sister had to wait 18 business days before her PC ordered in may 2024 was shipped, when it was advertised as 5->7 business day dispatch time, so take their times with a huge grain of salt.

      • roccohu on 19/02/2025 - 16:10

        Noted especially they also said something like ‘next batch of cards’ whatever that means (I cannot interpret that as I opted for the on-hand GPU)

  • Snoopy113 on 19/02/2025 - 20:57

    Im a 5080 build person. Ordered about 2 hours after the post and status is still in 'order placed' :(
