Chicago Microcenter | Ryzen 5900x/5950x Availability, Restock Dates, Limited Availability?

Demic

Good Morning MicroCenter community!

I have heard from a few people that the Chicago Microcenter has shipments on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Is it true that these are the dates, and are the days that Microcenter would get the new CPUs?

As well as that, I was wondering what "Limited Availability" means on the Microcenter website. Some of the Zen 3 processers show "Limited Availability" when looking at Chicago stock online, while others show "Sold Out." Does Limited Availability mean there are 1-2 CPUs left, or does it mean something else?

Hey @Demic and Good Afternoon!

We do typically receive shipments on those days, however, with the high demand for recent products we've expidited our processes for which our items are sent to our stores. So we really don't have an ETA for when we'll expect a new shipment in our stores.

Limited Availability can mean that we have some in stock, however, it could mean that a voucher has been given out and the person with the voucher has yet to purchase the item. Because of the unique circumstance with these new releases, we have adjusted it to show Limited Availability.

I hope this explains this well for you. Please let me know if I can assist further!

Thank you for the answer! This helps a lot, especially because I was planning to go to a Microcenter soon to try to get a CPU. That is really all that I needed to know. Once again, thanks a bunch!

Excellent! Glad I could help. Hopefully, you'll be able to get one soon!

Thank you @LandShark for that information! Do you know if the same holds true for the Westmont location?

JS_MC

Yes, @Eric_G90. That info would hold true for all our stores.

I was there on Saturday before open and Tuesday before open. None on Saturday and only 1 on Tuesday so some lucky guy who was up earlier than me got it. The only info they keep saying is show up before store open and wait it out on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays. I really wish they would just institute a reservation list even if I have to put money down. Good luck, will probably see you in like tomorrow.

They have some 5600X in stock right now if you hurry. They might have to wait till after 3 pm since thats what this morning's voucher says they can release them at
