Bought a Microcenter pc and it was junk from day one. I went against my better judgement and thought it was just a few small things in windows but it just got worse and worse. The memory I bought was also bad. Biggest piece of junk I've ever bought in my life, what a waste of 3k.

Microcenter is fine for advice when willing to spend thousands to build a system, but heaven forbid you have a problem. Their tech team is incompetent – at best. After spending more than $4,000 on a custom-build, they simply throw their hands in the air when it does not work. Beware if you need anything more than an off-the-shelf piece of equipment.

micro center, i went there yesterday and purchased all the components for a gaming pc.i specifically asked about included hardware, would cables be labeled, i don't want any of those led lights and can everything be from the same manufacturer. now i am sitting hours away, back at home with several thousand dollars of nothing i asked for. the fact that you can't see what you are buying until after it is paid for sucks. there was no place for me to see what was in the box they packed, out of view, that supposedly contained what i had asked for. almost none of the screws provided fit anywhere. the whole affair i was given is infested with led lights, that are required for the pc to function according to the reading material that came with. i got about 15 cables total, mostly decoy's. none of them labeled and no instructions for anything. none of the stuff is from the same manufacturer. there is no customer service that actually connects. the text line, the phone number, e-mail, and the website all contain zero assistance. sure, everyone in the store seemed polite enough, but i can't think of a time in my life i have ever been so disregarded and ignored as a paying customer.

I heard amazing things about Micro Center, so when my computer needed a repair I was happy one was close to me. The associates both times I went in for service said very few words to any questions I had. When their answers were longer and used lots of technical terms, I essentially had to ask them to "dumb it down" for me and was met with 1 or 2 word answers. I ended up overpaying way too much to have all of my data completely gone on a 5 year old laptop, which was not made clear to me at all before I approved the purchase. I was under the impression I just needed the swollen battery to be replaced. I strongly regret going to Micro Center which is a shame because I had such high hopes. I also don't think the associate was knowledgeable as he would give very vague or broad comments such as "your 5-year-old laptop could last a day or 10 years".

Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were incredibly educated and were able to recommend several products that would help with my new job editing videos. I can't say enough great things about this company!

I recently visited Micro Center in Rockville, Maryland, seeking Apple technician assistance for my phone. Unfortunately, my experience with Manuel Prada Rodrigues left much to be desired. He was over an hour late for our scheduled appointment and, despite this delay, didn't even take the time to inspect my phone thoroughly. To my surprise, Rodrigues stated that the microphone issue on my model couldn't be fixed without conducting any diagnostic tests. When I requested a diagnostic test and a detailed report, he seemed disinterested and provided no apology for his tardiness. This lack of professionalism and customer care raises concerns about the quality of service at Micro Center. A prompt and courteous approach, along with thorough diagnostics, should be fundamental for any technician, especially when dealing with customer concerns. My overall experience has left me hesitant to recommend Micro Center's service in Rockville.

Horrible customer service. Returns are a hassle. No email support, only phone or website chat (which doesn't work). I was put on hold twice, second time my place in queue was increasing instead of decreasing. Ended up having to do it by text which is ridiculous. Just about gave up and filled a dispute with my CC company. Also, don't buy laptop batteries from here. They are junk, overheat and shut off, and they lie about having Samsung cells made in Korea - the battery had only made in China on the label.

I had an issue with a motherboard ram cpu bundle bought at the St Louis store. I spent hours trying get it stable. The store was fantastic providing a complete replacement of the problem components the same day that I reported the issue. The replacement build then booted up first time and is solid as a rock. Highly recommend for a great tech shopping trip and service that will exceed your expectations.
