The answers I've seen so far are that the person would have to go there, provide the order details and their own form of payment. Does that mean they'd have to pay for it at the store instead, making my…

Microcenter for Lakeland, FL

The closest locations are either in Miami or Central/North Georgia, and getting to those locations is no easy task. Furthermore, there is a sizable population of makers, engineers, etc who…

WHY are gift cards not accepted as online payment?
I was happy to see Micro Center does online orders -- researched my products, created an order and...extremely disappointed I cannot use the giftcard I received over the holidays.

Online Support Chat
I bought a refurb computer a few weeks ago (Madison Hts MI store) - I need two small parts to replace those that are defective. Hardly worth the >100 mile round trip back to the store for these, perhaps to find they do not even have the parts on hand. First I went to the MC website - no phone numbers listed that I could…

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…

I ordered a 2.5" hard drive to be picked up at your Cambridge store last week.
