At Micro Center, we do provide customers with the option to reserve items that are sold in-store for an Instant Pickup® using our website. Pickups are held for 3 business days directly at the store it was reserved at once you receive your pickup confirmation email. You can click here to navigate to our website.
Please note, that when placing an order, the full payment for the order will have to be made in-store at the time of pickup. Alternative methods of paying for a store pickup are not available. Shipment for store pickup orders is also not available. You may use any valid payment method to pay for the order in the store. Also, you do not need to create a Micro Center Insider Account to reserve an item, you can select Continue as Guest.
There still may be some in-store only items that can not be reserved online, these would be separately listed on our website as LOCATE instead of an ADD TO CART button on our website search results page. If you see an item listed as "Locate" or 'Locate in Store", please visit the store directly to complete your purchase of this item.
If you are already on the product page of the item that you are trying to reserve, you will see a message showing it is not available for pickup:
If you see an item listed as "Not available" but you do see a listing of "IN STOCK", please visit the store directly to complete your purchase of this item.
