Twas five days before Christmas, as I clicked with my mouse. Not a gpu was stocked, as I browsed, browsed, and browsed; No resellers dared care what my wallet could bare, No hints that msrp's price would stay fair; Till I clicked on a related site and suddenly did a human captcha, passed, and found shopblt; Cautious, I scanned for my chance to attack, I double checked every detail that a scam site would lack, WAIT, the weight read 1 pound,(clearly too low) so I check with the manufacturer, Elementary! Shopblt typed 1 pound cause gigabyte's page does not mention the matter! It's the truth that all other details did match thus I placed my order as shopblt's msrp price was a catch. :) Where I sat in the new gpu line, I never did know But my entitled first world feelings screamed "shopblt is sloooow" 15 days later, shopblt's email is clear; My item's expected 12 days into the year That day came and the ETA went blank quick, I had read reviews, so I knew to just let the clock tick. I remember shopblt's daily updates read mostly the same, Catching the "Total Orders" go down at all became an unwinnable game. The line and the incoming stock grew again and again My next verse had until January 19th to begin I was pleased; Shopblt has the guts and the gall to fix their 1 pound discrepancy that I told you I saw That same day, I inferred, their first stock arriving is why, shopblt, with candid honesty, corrected the 1 pound lie! But my inbox, my anxiety, and my experience with shopblt grew when the price rose 60 bucks on the listed gpu?! I prayed my card dodged it until shopblt emailed me the proof I'd accepted that TERMS OF SALE WARN THAT BACKORDER PRICES COULD GO "Poof" Now, readers understand how I'm uniquely bound As my order all this time was priced within my $500 gift card's inbound So 34 days, with 0 response on whether I can change cards, my order has stayed put. I've learned that shopblt's stock is likely not a bigfoot. I've learned that with shopblt, all of the real flack lies in those "Spray and Pray" few who spray with funds that lack A small price increase is for what most people should worry and don't count how many times you'll wish that they hurry Do shop Bottom Line Telecommunications; I recommend that you go Especially when it's the only place where low priced gpus flow As someone who's lost their order by the skin of their teeth, I demand you accept there's nothing sinister beneath I respect you for looking for anything smelly but no smell is worth a fair priced gpu, really. Now my computer sits on it's shelf and each thermal throttle takes more from it's health. I stare at it sideways when I go to bed and remind myself why my gpu dream is dead. The biggest temptation is a computer that works yet when in use lacks all it's visual perks. I pray, you reader, find this a worthy prose as my honest review must now come to a close. When gpu markets remain this abyssal an order on shopBLT warrants no sane dismissal ShopBLT's price increases are not light but the final price is not one that I wished to fight.

I was so happy to get my hands on a Ryzen 5 5600x. ShopBLT does a great job of communicating your order status with you. Highly recommend

At first I was skeptical about them but I was proven wrong. My item came as described and perfect. I am very happy with my purchase and their prices are amazing!

DISCLAIMER: I know that they will copy and paste a scripted response saying that 'they have no control over inventory or prices'. TLDR: They have delayed my shipment 4 times now (which I was okay with... I suppose). But the real kicker is that they also rose the price by over 15% of what it was when I put in the pre-order. There is no way a 'manufacturer' raises the price by over 15% after you put in an order. I would not buy from here. Will be reporting to the BBB and they can explain/prove to them that the "manufacturer" changed the price on their invoice. RESPONSE 1: I will delete this review if you guys are able to deliver on the (now) specified delivery date. (2nd week of February). I am still unhappy that you increased the price by over 15% of the original price and would appreciate it if you kept the price consistent. RESPONSE 2: Ironic that you copied and pasted the exact same scripted response that you do over and over again right after you guys delayed shipment of the goods for another month (for the fifth time now). Surely a manufacturer gives you an invoice prior to the agreement / shipping of paid for goods? The fact that you tried to get my review removed speaks for itself. Hope your reputation was worth the lack of transparency. Word gets around quick now ShopBLT Sandwich Shop RESPONSE 3: I definitely responded with proof of purchase... otherwise this review wouldn't still be up. You're making yourself look rather... unprofessional right now. Why would I waste my time ranting about a random shop about some random item ? On a sidenote: if your objective was to save face, I believe you failed. Your responses have been rather defensive and immature... doesn't exactly put your organization in a positive light...

While I see what many people are complaining about, you have to approach your criticism from a different way. I was able to order a GPU from this site even though they were out of stock. However the downside of that is that you expect the package earlier than later, which is not the case with this website. And I will make it clear, that that is completely fine. That being said, I wish they would give you and estimated time until arrival instead of their “ETA” which ends up being very inaccurate. A nice thing is that they have decent customer service. I sent and email to them regarding my order number and got a response within a couple hours. They also allow you to cancel an order if you pre order it which can come in handy for what I suggest you use this website for. I’ve seen responses to some people’s complaints. And I get where they are coming from, however I think they do need to address that whatever manufacturer they have is unreliable. Yes, it says that the “ETA” is not always right, but that doesn’t mean you make loopholes so that you can delay things even more. So yes, they do say that it might take more time, but I still think that area lacks in customer service because of how unreliable their estimated time is. That being said, just be patient and you’ll be fine. Right now, I have pre ordered an RTX 2060, it’s “ETA” is somewhere around 3 weeks I believe. What I would suggest you do, is pre order from this website, and if you find a good deal on another website, snipe it and just cancel your order from ShopBLT. It’s as easy as that. Sign up for email notifications from Newegg and B&H so that you can immediately buy there. Overall, this website is reliable, but just about what I expected from a not as well known retailer. And that’s completely ok!! If you don’t want to worry about time, I would not recommend this place. If you don’t care, then I would highly recommend!

Very simple to order. Item arrived in a short amount of time. Item was packaged well with no damage from shipping. BLT.com communicated well in email the whole process.

Terrible!! I’ve tried canceling my order for weeks now and nothing seems to work. These people are horrible and i do not suggest ordering from them

This site isn't worth it. I'm sure if I waited a year for my item it would eventually ship, but they don't know how to do preorders. I preordered the HP Reverb G2 VR Headset and an RTX 3080. Both of them showed up as backordered which is fine, however, they just keep pushing their ETA date further back. They claim that it's a manufacture issue, however, I went on the manufactures website for the VR headset and was able to get one instantly. The only reason I was willing to keep order through ShopBLT was because of the price, however, there pricing doesn't mean anything because they can change it on you at any time. That was the issue with the graphics card and why I cancelled it. With the graphics card, I waited weeks after preordering for them to, once again, keep pushing the date further back. Then I randomly get an email that my order is now going to be $110 extra after waiting all this time?? No thanks. They had hundreds of preorders yet those numbers never get fulfilled and the preorders continue to increase. I was about 900 in line, so I knew I would wait a while, then dates kept getting pushed back and the preorders kept increasing. If you don't have the inventory to ship out, stop taking preorders, it's not that hard. They will probably write back to me saying I don't have access to their inventory, but I don't need it if it's true that it's "Real Time" tracking on your site. In all, I cancelled both orders and if anyone has anything on here, don't hold your breath because it probably will never ship or just take a year. Cancelled both of my items and have never been happier. Sure I'm back on the search for a card, but at least I won't get price gouged or delayed any more. Edit: What type of low class company flags all negative reviews just to make themselves look better? ShopBLT. Worst company I’ve ever dealt with. You will have better luck walking into a store and finding a graphics card then these people trying to ship to you. They take preorders but they are basically just people like us trying to get our hands on cards as well. They’re not a legit company with inventory. If anything, they are part of the price gouging people that are out there. Avoid!
