I suspect the company will resume normal online sales once a majority of the stores have stock. It’s hard to say how this approach is working out overall for sales, but it’s an admirable gesture to ensure local customers get first pick. That’s right, in an age where online sales are paramount, the company has taken a step backwards. If you’re out of the loop, Micro Center cut out online sales and basically quit answering the phone as perhaps the most extreme, yet effective measure of dealing with the bots and scalpers that I’ve heard of to date. I’ve also done so to check in on CPU and GPU availability due to the company’s unique policy on purchases of said parts right now. Truth be told, I’ve taken several trips to Micro Center this year for component replacements and workstation upgrades. And with personal computers in huge demand, it’s no surprise that Micro Center is doing fine while other companies are closing shop. The national US retailer has long been a bastion for PC gamers and tech enthusiasts. While brick-and-mortar stores are on a huge decline, companies like Micro Center still draw plenty of crowds IRL - even in times like these. We all know how bad online availability for new GPU and CPU processors is right now, but sometimes a traditional method of acquiring PC parts has its merits.
