Is it possible to speak or chat with a customer service rep online at Micro Center's website?
Had a frustrating experience and went looking for a way to connect with customer service online and I'm likely looking in the wrong places or something, but I can't find that option.

Micro center surveys
The request to complete a micro center survey starts with a requirement for a receipt reference number. Since the reference number is so long, that requirement is unintentionally discouraging completing a survey. It would be better to just ask for that last four digits of the reference number - like often done for social…

Price match on back orders?
I placed an order at another store for an item that appeared as on back order after I was already charged. Would micro center be able to price match the same item?
