GBOMG a PRE-ORDER! O.O Well, I've done it, I've joined the GPU queue. I wish I knew exactly how many cards were reserved ahead of mine, but I'm a patient man (I'm only curious about this because when I was checking the "real time availability" of the graphics card I wanted, it never loaded). You have no idea how grateful I am to find you guys. Seriously, why is nobody else letting people pre-order these things? You have my business!

GBGreat Service I've recently preordered the Aorus 3060 ti from ShopBLT, and have recommended it to a lot of friends of mine, however, unfortunately, questions of legitimacy have been raised by many of them due to the website design and the main page not being secure. Also, my product has been delayed for just under a month now, however I understand that because it is a preorder, it is not ShopBLT's responsibility. Overall, the site offers a great way to get your hands on out-of-stock, high demand items such as graphics cards and the 5600x CPU. Without it, I'd be stuck with my trusty little 1050 ti. Haha!

GBThey allow pre-orders, enough said. It has been extremely tough to buy PC components recently—especially graphics cards and SFX power supplies. Thanks to BLT, I was able to get both without a hassle. They let you pre-order items that are otherwise impossible to obtain, and that's what really separates them from competitors. They also have very fast shipping and excellent customer service. BLT quickly became one of my favorite places to shop for PC components.

GBQueue > random drops I, like many others, am in the market for a GPU and I can't believe how many people are getting upset over a FREE queue. In a world where amazon, best buy, and the other big companies have truly awful systems that seem to cater towards bots and scalpers, BLT's queue at least gives some transparency and the promise of an eventual GPU for those willing to show a bit of patience. Granted, it might be A LOT of patience, but that's the current market right now. I honestly don't see a downside as it is free to wait and free to cancel if I find a GPU in the meantime. Bummed out that BLT's review score has gone down to four stars, but hopefully with some more rational reviewers such as myself, we can get it back up to five.

GBCorporate software licence renewal was quick and easy I'd never shopped at ShopBLT, and I needed a corporate licence renewal for a Trend Micro antivirus suite. Price was good and processing of the renewal was fast. I got the renewal codes from Trend Micro within a day, which is 2-5 days faster than with vendors I'd used in the past. Can't confirm it was ShopBLT or Trend Micro who was faster but, regardless, the process was fast and as painless as it can be for spending thousands of $$.
