Micro CenterReviews of microcenter.com

I have been a customer of Microcenter for years and have bought numerous laptops and other gear from them and have never had an issue. In fact when I learned from an online forum and computer news site that Microcenter had bad reviews - I was shocked. I feel far more secure buying my equipment from a local store with actual people with whom I can interact than buying online from sellers unknown.

I went into the Denver store just browsing, had a couple small items, almost closing time... Got to talking with Corey Krimmar about all sorts of techy stuff and ended up buying a lot of stuff! Corey is a great guy, very chill and veryfriendly. Put this guy on commission, and look out. Coffee is for closers, and this guys got it.

I just recently got a computer built from Microcenter i was looking at the water cooled tier 3 build for 250.00 and i was not to sure how i felt about doing it because of some of the negative reviews that i was reading online. I went back and forth between a few company’s for a week not being able to decided who i wanted to go with. I knew Microcenter has been around for a long time and that they have really good products and good prices but some of the pc build reviews people left made it sounds really bad and i was thinking about going somewhere else. I don’t want anyone else to go threw what i did because from start to finish i had nothing but a great experience with Microcenter. I placed my order online after picking out all my own parts, I did chat online with someone and they gave me the number to the store so i could chat with someone at the cambridge location. When i called them i talked to Sam and she went over every part i picked out and made sure it was compatible with everything and even emailed me the list of all the parts after. I took a day to think about it and submitted the order online, i got a call maybe an hour later saying he looked over all my parts and everything looked goo and that it would be done in about 48 hours. ( yes there website does say they will build it for you in 4hrs i really think they should just take that down because anyone should know thats just not going to happen no way they are staffed for that but someone at Microcenter should take that off the website) anyway next day they called me with a couple questions about how i wanted the fans set up and then that night they called me and told me it was all ready to pick up. I ran to the store they give you all the boxes that everything came in PC was packed up nice in the box and the build looked great. I did a little cable Managment because i am picky but it might have been fine for most people. Computer is working great only has been one week but everything has been great so far and i just want to leave my great time with Microcenter on here so people know its not all bad. Im not sure what some of these people really went threw or if they where expecting to much but I have nothing but good things to say about having Microcenter build my PC and i hope this helps someone else’s decision a lot easier than mine.

I want to rescind my one star review of five days go

This was my third home growing up, I built my own computers and today I purchase from Micro Center in bulk. They stand by their product like no other company

This is a review in response to a previously posted review. I received a call from the 'General Manager' in response to my scathing posted review of terrible customer service a the Duluth GA. Store. He apologized for the ill treatment that I received during a recent purchase/return for service. He assured me that the treatment I received was TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!, and offered to make me whole. I so appreciate his concern and offer.

In my personal experience shopping at micro center, I can only explain and reiterate as positive. Although at times lines may be long, prices are not always the best, and yes it is quite the drive, I still find micro center to be my GOTO electronics store. I purchased my first 3d printer through their store, in person (199) as well as a 2 year warranty which was no more then like $60 USD. I had to use my warranty in no more then a few months (due to user induced error with the printer) but the employees helping me were very accepting and understanding and actually put the FULL value I paid for my last printer towards my new purchase. I've since bought 2 laptops, 3 pcs, a multitude of accessories ( which include keyboards, headphones, mousepads) all with warranty. For reference the keyboard i bought was $60 and warranty was about $5. Doesn't get better.

I'm a semi-retired IT professional and have been shopping at Micro Center for more than twenty years. I've yet to have a bad experience there. I presently live more than two hours from the nearest Micro Center (the one in Yonkers, New York), but still consider the trip worthwhile. My most recent trip was yesterday, March 3, 2023 to buy a GPU that they only had two of left in stock. I placed the order early in the morning, and it was ready by 10:00 a.m. when the doors opened. What I like most about their stores is that most of their employees are smarter than I am (or at least more current, since I'm semi-retired now). There's no point seeking advice from people who know less than I do. I want people who are smarter than me. Micro Center also has excellent inventory. You can walk in with nothing and walk out with everything you need to build a computer. What I usually do is order anything that's on sale or low in stock online for store pickup. Then I shop around in the store when I get there an add whatever other stuff I buy to the pickup order. That assures that the item that was the main reason to make the trip is still available when I get there.
