Micro Center

MicroCenter never disappoints. From the moment you walk thru the doors, you instantly realize the endless selections. The team members are knowledgeable, passionate about what they do, extremely helpful. If something is prone to issues or needs special attention, they are honest and tell you when asked, as that is something I’ll ask. "Have these been good, any typical issues with them?" Have purchased really a wide variety over the years, an absolute ton of various brands of 3D printer filament (Inland and Cookie Cad as favorites), various 3D printers such as Ender 3 Pro’s and more recently a couple Bambu’s. Built a printer farm of 16 printers with most Enders. PC hardware, graphics cards, CPU’s, Cases, Power Supplies, Drives, tools, Arduino’s, UPS’s, Laser Printers, switches, routers, access points…….I could keep going, but of all those purchases, everything has been great. All while knowing, if I did have an issue, I could go back and get it resolved. For me it’s well worth the 3 hour drive there. Have been frequently the Overland Park, KS location since 2019.

As always microcenter gets my business and my customers business when it comes to computers and electronics. Brian who I worked with Brian in BYO who always helps me find just what I or my customers need. I just finishes working with him on my recent 9800X3D build even moving from a 5070 TI purchase to a 5080 and am very happy with it. Been shopping here for almost 20 years sending friends, family and customers to shop here or with them.

The best place to go to get help with any electronic you can think of. When we visited there were literally 100 employees inside. Lol We wanted a laptop and the sales person was very informative. Super helpful and patient while we looked around. He helped us settle on a model and then showed us accessories. We really enjoy coming here and we will be back in the future!

I think it’s a really cool place and the prices are good for some things like 3D printer filament. You can get a kilogram spool of pretty much any color for $20 or less of PLA or PLA+. Last time I was there, I saw this massive printer that was really cool.

Dylan T helped me out with picking out parts for my first pc build and everything ended up coming together perfectly. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and appreciate his help picking out every piece I needed.

Micro Center is such an interesting place. It's like a store that basically stopped changing anything 30 years ago. It legit feels like an old Comp USA or something, right around when home PCs became a thing! They've got a ton of stock (thought it's often organized a little helter skelter) and great if you, say, spill a whole can of soda on your keyboard working on a project and need a replacement ASAP. My rating is strictly because I'd almost rather just order what I need from Amazon because getting thorough the checkout (or store pickup) ALWAYS takes like, 20 minutes. It's just not worth it. No self-checks and only ever like 2 cashiers. Nice staff, it's not their fault that management is making them harvest data from their customers (nothing like standing there in line listening to someone spell out their email address letter by letter). No, you don't need my phone number, just sell me this $7 keyboard. No, I don't need the $.99 2 year protection plan that you "highly recommend." Ha! This is all time that could be better spent like, just selling me my stuff and letting me get on with my life. But at Micro Center time stops and you enter a mirror universe. Management needs to step up into the future and make a better user experience because what they've got now just kinda sucks.

I can't thank the service department, especially Josh, enough for helping with my new PC build. I even got called back to be given a discount for a few days later ($40 back). I was truly worried about getting a PC built for me, however the customer service was outstanding. Josh called and talked through the process, ideas, and recommendations with ways to save. It was super stressful dropping 3k on a PC and not having my hands/eyes on it but his recommendations were whole hearted. No doubt top rated customer service! 10/10 would do again.
