They don't ship anything that matters. Key parts like CPU's, GPU's, mobos, hard nope.
Yup. 30 something processors in the website, 3 available in store. I love that microcenter has replaced Fry's (smaller stores that i don't get an anxiety attack going to) but the shipping is crap and you have to wait for parts to come back in stock.
In their defense, I believe a lot of their shipping rules changed during the crypto/covid/AI shortages of the past few years to prevent scalpers from vacuuming up their supply. They limited a lot of the big ticket items to in-store only specifically so you couldn't order them from Timbuktu and resell them.
Which, props to them, respect. But holy crap does it make them useless as a retailer unless you're one of the lucky fucks who lives within a 2 hour drive of one.
