Does MC do transfers of products from one store to another? Your Arizona store has the MSI Maestro 900R case and my local (if you want to call 3 hour drive local) store in Santa Clara Ca does not have one.

Hi, new to Micro Center, recently I built a PC build and added it to my cart to check out but was not ready to check out yet.

Yes, I know, Wells Fargo handles the credit card you folks offer to people. Are you aware of the total muck-up going on over there? Haven't been able to log into my account at all there. This doesn't bode well on your own image.

Would like to request or submit a location for a store. Jonesboro, Arkansas. The closest we had was a BestBuy that was destroyed in a tornado and they didn’t rebuild. (Nobody in the center did) They averaged $45million. There are no competitors.
