Does Microcenter not allow you to pre-order parts?

Hello,

I am trying to use the Custom PC Builder page and have Microcenter assemble the PC for me, but it won't let me push the order through since there is one part that is currently out of stock. Does Microcenter not let you reserve a PC part that's essentially just barring me from letting them put the PC together?

Additionally, when the parts were all available; it won't let me push the order through because the GPU is listed as being in stock in store.

What really has me flabbergasted is that I went down to the store to ask and after being re-directed twice to different departments, they essentially said that I can't even put the order in advance at the store even though they are the ones that I want to put the PC together.

Are all Microcenters like this or is the one in Michigan an anomaly? Why is it so difficult to give a business my money?

Greetings,

It is only on a few occasions I've seen us offer pre-orders on yet-to-release items, as for items that are not in stock, that is not be available at the stores. We recommend bookmarking the product page and keep an eye on the product stock levels! Once you see the item in stock, you can reserve an item by following the instructions on this knowledge base article! https://community.microcenter.com/kb/articles/30-how-to-reserve-an-item-online
