"Cancelled Orders and Delays"

Placed 2 different orders for GPUs since Jan 2021 that were completely canceled and others with endless updates to the ETAs. When I placed the order for all these cards the system stated they had more incoming than were actually purchased but I'm sure literally everyone dealing with this "store" has run into the same thing. I don't know a single person who has received a graphics card from them I would love to hear from anyone who has received a single GPU this month not a shipment of 30. A suggestion, If you need to write disclaimers on every page that the info your providing for ETA/pricing may be wrong maybe it's time to change or copy the system of one of these more successful retailers use like Bestbuy, Amazon, or Microcenter. I have never run into an issue like this from any other company that's "Been in Business for 30 years". And I purchase a wide range of computer parts for my business to include pre-orders etc. it's just the way you present things that makes it seem fraudulent. I was not charged but wasting my time is almost as bad in my eyes especially if someone stopped looking. All it would take is to put an average ship time that was based on real info, not your imagination or best case scenario provided by the manufacturer. You yourself have to know what your getting from them is off by about 7 months at this point right?? Do the customer right and be more transparent. The Positive reviews on here haven't even received a product just praising the chance at getting a card at a markup that they will update you of by email after the fact. Either that or they were asked by shopblt to leave a review PAY ATTENTION...

"Over promise, under deliver"

I ordered a graphics card in October of 2020, and every other week I get an update saying it’s been pushed back. I don’t know if they’ve just prioritized other orders over mine - or if they’re really are just that bad at inventory planning.

They use the excuse that they can’t control when they get inventory, which I acknowledge, but if your supply change is really that inconsistent then you shouldn’t open things up for preorder.

"Complies as promised"

Complies as promised, just read the information they have available almost everywhere

"Patience is key. The best way to get a card right now."

Ordered a 3070 a few days ago after being hesitant about trustworthiness. The truth is that this company seems to actually care about giving consumers fairly priced cards, with really no significant markups. An RTX 3070 vision retailed for about 550$ give or take and it's only 630$ on the site. From their responsiveness and helpfulness I trust that BLT will fulfil my order even if it takes 6 months to a year. If you have further questions you should check out their Q&A section as it is pretty helpful. The only criticism I have is that they let you do orders of up to 50 which makes miners and scalpers able to get ahead of you, either way it is better than trying to beat bots on sites like best buy, Amazon, or newegg. Thanks BLT

"Still waiting"

I placed a preorder in November for a GPU, and was maybe number 30 in line. I still haven't got it after 6 months, but don't blame BLT for the delays, as its out of their hands. I have been casually looking elsewhere for the last several months, and there really is nowhere better. Their communication is decent, and I admire them continuing to try to obtain product.

"Thank You"

Leaving this here to combat the many 1 star reviews written out of ignorance, anger, entitlement or a combination of all three. Thanks for giving people the chance at reasonably priced components.

"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?

"Please do not hide behind ETAs being provided by the manufacturers"

Let me first say, I have nothing against ShopBLT and given that they have A+ BBB score, I am sure it is a good business.

Here is what my problem is: I placed several orders 3 months ago. Motherboard order was placed on 2/23 with an ETA of 3/7, CPU on 2/28 with an ETA of 3/23, power supply on 3/4 with an ETA of 3/15. Every single one of these items were pushed out on a weekly basis until I recently found them elsewhere and cancelled all my orders with ShopBLT.

I am a computer engineer and I buy a lot of parts for personal and professional use. I am perfectly aware of the component shortages this year and I truly believe we all need to be patient with the suppliers. However, there is no excuse for ShopBLT not pushing to get more realistic ETAs from manufacturers and suppliers. For my 3 orders alone, I have 46 emails in my Inbox saying the ETA is being pushed out. Did anyone from ShopBLT care to speak to the suppliers and manufacturers letting them know this is unacceptable from their perspective as well as for their customers?

During these shortages, I ordered a lot of parts from Amazon that they didn't have in stock at the time of ordering. However, if Amazon said it is in stock in 3 weeks, I either received the shipping confirmation exactly in 3 weeks or sooner. So obviously there is a better way to get estimates from suppliers out there if ShopBLT is willing to discover.

Long story short, after waiting nearly 3 months for ShopBLT to deliver, I gave up on them and started looking at major retailers myself. Within two weeks, I was able to order the same 3 items at MSRP. None of them were impossible to find items (I know GPUs are much harder to find). Based on my experience, I would say there is absolutely no reason to order with ShopBLT. I assure you that you will find what you need sooner than they do if you spend some time browsing and signing up to notification services. Best of luck with your part search.
