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!

Don't accept Paypal, only credit cards Great service, I just wish they accept Paypal. Come on ShopBLT, it's 2021 and all you take are credit cards? Time to raise up your game. PS: To answer your reply, this takes two stars off your service because nobody likes to give away her/his credit card details while secure online payment methods like Paypal or Venmo are available. Most online resellers use Paypal or other similar secure service, I don't see why you cannot.

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.

Lowest price available Lowest price available. Would have preferred boxed version, but availability was uncertain and other reviews had mixed experiences with out of stock promise dates. Un boxed CPU worked and I was able to use a cooler and video card (CPU does not have integrated video) I had on hand. Shipping took about 5 days.

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?
