  On Sunday June 2nd, we attended an Early Access event at Micro Center in Charlotte NC. We had received emails stating all of the Early Access deals and sales. These were all limited time. We were there with my son that is 13 years old to buy him a gaming system. We shopped around the store for about an hour trying to decide the best route to get him what he wanted. He finally settled on a prebuilt computer because they were on deep discount sale and as advertised in email ADDITIONAL 20% off. We were able to get a sales member to help us. His name was ******. He stated that the computer was price as marked not additional off. We argued the point and showed our email. He agreed that the ad was not written the best but it was what it was. So we asked for a manger and was then helped by ****. He reiterated the same as the sales associate and refused to honor the advertisement email. We then contacted corporate through a chat program on their website and was told they would get this issue resolved. We waited and was told no resolution would be made that day. My son left very upset. I have never been contacted from Micro Center as promised and as of June 6th that sale is off. This is false advertisement and should be honored to us.

While all refunds are processed through ******'s system, we are happy to share that we have been able to partner with ****** in order to process both your refunds.

  Complaint: ********
  
  I am rejecting this response because: There is no evidence that Microcenter had "partnered" with or had opened a case with ****** to resolve the refunds. I was able to get ****** to refund both orders – but this was through my own efforts. BBB may want to close out this complaint based on the refunds however I can not accept Microcenter’s response. Why? I was on ****** and tried to resolve the refund. The ****** message was sent to Micro-center who told me to contact ******. I registered a BBB complaint for the 2 orders. Micro-center claims "we have been able to partner with ****** in order to process both your refunds". Not from what I could see and not from any evidence of any “case” that may have been opened. They took credit for my efforts. For one their team claimed they processed a case though ******. But ****** never contacted me nor updated the status of my refund. The first refund was as a result of me finally getting a valid phone number through to ****** customer service where the representative tried to issue 2 refunds. I only got one refund. I tried again calling and that 2nd representative was able to issue the 2nd refund. I asked her if she knew about this case that ****** opened - she knew nothing about it. Did Micro-center actually get me the refunds ... apparently not at all. It was as a result of me finding the correct phone number for ****** customer service and resolving the refunds myself. Good grief quit taking credit for the customer's own efforts ... I saw no results from your "****** team"!

  On March 8, 2023, I purchased a DELL laptop from the Mirco Center in Denver, Colorado. On March 7, 2024 I returned the product because it was defective. they warranty was still good. They informed me that it would take 3-4 weeks. They sent me two texts after 4 weeks that it was being sent to DELL, then it was being sent to a 3rd party vendor. As of today, April 29, almost 8 weeks after they stated that I would get my laptop back, they have not returned a fixed product, nor refunded me, nor replaced the product. I am a Senior Citizen and I believe they are attempting to take advantage of me. Please help!

  Hello,
  
  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced and fully understand your frustration. After communicating with the store, we were informed that although there was an issue with the warranty, we promptly replaced the unit on your behalf. Regrettably, sending the unit out for repair wasn't an option, hence our decision to provide a replacement and ensure the backup of your data.
  
  Should you have any additional questions or require further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.

  On April 14th, 2024, I went to purchase brand new parts for a PC at Micro Center. When we went to check-out, the sales person asked if we wanted protection on the motherboard, CPU and the graphics card. We went ahead with the protection plans and the total came out to be $2,143.11. After building the PC, we tried to connect it to the monitor, but weren't getting any signals. Thinking there may be an issue with some part, we went back to Micro Center on April 21st, 2024 to get it checked. Despite having the protection plan, I was told that the diagnostics will cost $40 and that there will be a repair fee. However, I went ahead with the diagnostics and was told that the issue was the screws we used to mount the motherboard (the screws were the ones that we originally received with the motherboard). The cost to re-screw was $75. When I asked if that was covered by the protection plan, I was told that there is nothing wrong with the hardware, and labor isn't covered by the plan. After we brought the reparied PC back home, we tried installing the OS, which I had also bought from Micro Center. It immediately started to show error messages. After working with Microsoft to try to resolve the issue, they ultimately thought it was a hardware issue and needed to go back to Micro Center. When I told Micro Center of the issue, they mentioned that there is another $40 diagnostics fee and cost of repair. I asked if I could return everything given it is within the 15 - 30 day window they advertise. I was told that there will be a $130 disassembly fee for the return. We took the PC back to the store on April 23rd, 2024. They offered to do free diagnostics because they thought they can just re-image the OS. They later texted and told us all the parts were damaged, and that they may not be able to accept the returns, despite being told there was no issue with the hardware just 2 days earlier (we hadn't touched the hardware since then).

  I purchased an Acer ******* monitor at Micro Center in Fairfax, VA back in November 2023. It got damaged during a move so on March 23, 2024, I took it back to the store for a replacement. According to their website, they had one in stock but instead gave me a *** ****** monitor. They also did not use the warranty but instead treated it as a return/exchange. I spent several days trying to get the monitor to work with my PC but couldn't. I tried to return it on March 28 but they would only give me a gift card instead of a refund. I left the monitor at the store but never got anything in return. I don't trust the staff at this store anymore and would never go to any of their locations so a gift card would be worthless to me.

  I accept the business's response to resolve this complaint.

  I typically have my phone go directly to voice mail during the work day because I recently started a new job and have a lot of meetings. Unfortunately, I also get a lot of spam calls (e.g., ranging from two-three a week to as many as five in one hour) so I never know who is calling - since spam callers typically do not leave messages, I never know what to think if someone does not leave a message.

  On 3/23 my wife went to do a return , basically returning a gaming labtop that I purchased from microcenter . I have indeed purchased 4 labtops within the last 30 days , and have exchanged them either due to thermals , performance not what it was advertised or reviewed or defective unit . Last purchase was a msi Titan 18hx , when spending 5k on gaming labtop , which is a very expensive investment you have to be 100 percent about the product your buying . My biggest concern today isn’t the fact they were upset because I swapped the device , my two major concerns are one the way the General manager approached her asking her what happened ?? And his tone and his approach , he stated that he wouldn’t be able to do any more returns due his loss of money from a financial side , which we did anyways because it was within the return period , as a general manager he should have greeted her first asked what is the reason her husband keeps returning labtops , as a leader running his building where all his associates are watching him and how he offers customer service in a time where every dollar spent could be detrimental to his business survival he actually doesn’t care . I hope this review reaches as many people as possible to understand that customer service and how you are treated is very important because people now have options , and where to shop . Their listed specs don’t match what their vendors send them and that is a problem . For example the MSI titan was advertised and listed that it will run the 64 Gig ram configuration at 5600MHZ which it doesn’t not . Out the box it runs at 4000MHZ and once you manually set the timings to anything above 5200 it becomes unstable and crashes . That isn’t the consumer fault that’s their fault . Also their open box items are stated that they are open box , meaning that a customer purchased them and returned them which now is an open box which isn’t the case for their open box policy . Their open box could mean they opened the unit for repair , or faulty screen which in that case should be listed as refurbished or reconditioned . I’m already in touch with with their corporate office and will be also filing a BBB complaint against this location for how they treated my wife . This is by far the most poor service I have ever acknowledged in my entire retail career .

  No one reached out to us . Furthermore , first three labtops were open box , all 3 open box labtops were either physically open casing and tampered with ( fixed , or trouble shooted , or specs weren’t matching website description) the last one was swapped because of ram frequency wasn’t the advertised 5600 MHZ speed . Also the main reason for the complaint was for the approach and behavior of the GM of the location . I will not accept a written apology from them and I will do my best to reach out to the executive office of ******* *******. This is totally unacceptable for a customer spending 5 thousand dollars on a labtop .

  We have reached out to ********@gmail.com on multiple occasions. He has responded twice, but our questions were ignored and the response we received was a cut and past of the same message the customer has previously shared. 
  I have spoken with the General manager of this location and he does recall the conversation. He acknowledge the customer attempting to return the item. He approached and was pleasant. When the customer asked to return it, no problem.. we then located the customer receipt and realized the high return rate. This prompted the additional question which caused this customer to phone her spouse. We do apologize for the experience.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 04/09/2024

  At no certain point did micro center contact us , and they haven’t reached out to us via email , phone . The general manager was not pleasant with his approach and high return rate doesn’t matter if a valid proof of purchase is available. The GM was extremely unprofessional and I expect a written apology and to have micro center reach out to my wife as well .

  I went to Micro Center 747 Bethel Rd, Columbus Ohio to purchase a laptop computer. I was specifically directed to the **** brand, which I purchased. For details, please see attachment Their service people indicated that they had not checked it, but would do so immediately. They examined the laptop and told me that there was nothing wrong with the audio card. Absenting resolution, I outsourced the lack of audio issue and discovered that the laptop had a sound card, but lacked the app to use its own speakers! I subsequently sought a manager and an individual, first name ***, identified himself as "one of the managers," I informed him that there might be a problem with the **** product that they were not only selling, but also promoting. I asked if the product they were selling represented "seconds" or returns and that the matter be investigated. His response was that Corporate would have done so, if there was a problem. I asked what about in the Columbus store. His only response was to offer replacement - of course without replacing the apps, which had now been paid for several times over... Is Micro Center selling product(s) which they know or should have known are defective? How can their repair service release a product as fixed, if they did not actually document audio function? I have extended several hours waiting to be served, with unsatisfactory results. They have not been able to do so at their store, contrary to their claims. It is now their turn to provide the service at my domicile.

  I am rejecting this response because it fails to address anything.  The last interaction with the store was Saturday, ~5 days ago.  The stores response does not address any of the issues, especially the question of  promoting and repeatedly selling defective merchandise and failure of due diligence by their repair personnel...

  Hello,
  
  We are trying to understand your complaint and what we need to do to help.
  We reached out to the buyers for this item and there have been no recalls or a big return rate for this item. In order to help we can look at the unit again or we can help with the refund of the item. We are not able to come to your home since this is not something that we offer. We do have Tech Support in our home office if that is an option you would like to try if its software related, if its hardware related the store service department will need to look at it. 

  Thanks,

  I am rejecting this response because again, they respond in generalities.  The response of "no big" seems "misdirecting"?  

  Waiting in line again to bring a unit in for service and again waiting on line when they claim the unit is fixed - when they haven't even verified that it was fixed and falsely reported that it was functional - is not acceptable.

  What  exactly is the number of returns of any **** unit at their store and also in corporate records?  What was the "problem" for which each unit was returned?  What exactly is the number of times **** equipment has been "serviced" at their store and  in the corporate records?  What exactly was "serviced" on any **** units?

  Without their documentation of specifics, a coverup cannot be ruled out?

  I purchased a refurbished 65' sony oled television from micro center in brooklyn two weeks ago. I noticed that the screen was littered with air bubbles, also known as screen delamination. I contacted micro center and arranged for them to provide me with a replacement tv. This time they said they would inspect the tv to make sure there were no issues. After installing the second tv, I noticed the same exact screen delamination issue on the replacement tv. I contacted micro center and the only resolution they will provide, after transporting two tvs and paying to have them installed, is to bring the second tv to the store and they will provide an unspecified discount on a different tv. This is unsatisfactory to me as I have already wasted a great deal of time and money to replace the first tv. I ask that they send a different tv to me and take away the defective television, or provide a further discount on the defective tv that is clearly worth much less than what I paid for it. Or at the bare minimum, provide me with what discount I would receive so I can calculate my costs for returning a second tv. They are selling defective televisions and calling them "refurbished." This is a bad business practice and they refuse to provide an alternative resolution. DO NOT BUY REFURBISHED FROM MICRO CENTER, it actually means DEFECTIVE.

  Business Response

  Date: 03/13/2024

  Thank you for the review. It is uncommon to have 2 units fails, so we are sorry to hear this. We would like to invite the customer to return the TV to the local store for a full refund as we are still in the return timeframe. We do not currently offer or provide a pick up service as Mr. ******* is requesting. As this was the second occurrence, we will offer Mr. ******* 10% off a future TV purchase. Thank you

  Customer Answer

  Date: 03/13/2024

  I’m not paying any more money to have someone dismount my tv and bring it to the store again and then install another tv. I already paid these costs associated with the first return and I was fine with that, but not again.  If you pay these costs associated with returning a second tv I will accept the offer.

  In the alternative, I would consider paying the fair market value of the tv with 4 areas of bubbles in the screen and receive a refund for the balance.

  I invite anyone from your company to come and inspect the tv and see how distracting the bubbles are while watching tv in a lit room. You had an employee inspect this second tv and supposedly verified that there were no bubbles but the employee was completely wrong. It is filled with bubbles.

  I dropped off my broken laptop 11/25/2023 at the MicroCenter Repair Department to replace my cracked screen. I was informed that they will order the part and contact me to proceed. 12/11/2023: I contacted MicroCenter after receiving no update of my repair. I was informed the part was ordered and that they are uncertain when it would be available to begin the repair. 12/27/2023: I contacted MicroCenter to acquire a Repair update. My repair order was “misplaced” and that it would require a search of repair orders. 1/3/2024: I contacted MicroCenter for Repair update. The replacement part was not ordered and the employee inquired if I would like to proceed with the repair. I expressed my consent to the part order and repair estimate of approximately $450. 1/17/2024: I contacted MicroCenter Repair for an update: the replacement part was ordered. 2/3/2024: I contacted MicroCenter for a Repair update: the part was received and that the laptop was in possession of the “Repair” department to be completed. I was provided an estimate of 7 days. 2/22/3024: I was contacted informing me of the completion of my laptop repair. 2/25/2024: I arrived at the MicroCenter to pick up my repaired laptop after 13 WEEKS and with an initial charge of $1100. The employee credited my balance $450 to compensate for the lengthy repair duration. My repair cost: $660 and 13 weeks. I am completely dissatisfied with the service I received at the MicroCenter. 1. Ineffective execution of Repair. 2. Poor customer service. 3. Poor communications/providing updates. 4. Excessive charge for services provided me.
