They 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.

There is a shortage Just here trying to bring back the 5 stars. My order hasn't arrived either because there is a HUGE SHORTAGE and these guys are not wizards. Giving us the ability to pre-order at a non-inflated price in a free waiting line while being able to cancel at any time does not deserve a 1 star rating filled with enraged nonsense. It is a very frustrating situation for everyone(including me!) but trying to damage a legit and upright business won't help with anything. Why not take it out on scalpers and their "business partners" instead if you really need to vent?

OMG 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!

Great prices for top quality equipment… Great prices for top quality equipment that you just can't be beat! The online inventory information is a really nice feature and more detailed than most even to the point it tells you where items in inventory are located. Processing of the order and shipping times were great. These guys are a great place to your computer hardware shopping!

Queue > 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.
