Oh for sure, they really went to crap the last few years.

Microcenter doesn't sell fridges, unfortunately. However, I have been pretty pleased with them since Fry's is out of then picture. That was a rough couple of years.

Some less tired viewers have correctly pointed out that the "warranty" was added for a price and discounted in the cart, as well as free delivery. Perhaps, if you don't find the UI misleading like I did, this isn't a bad thing.

Back when they introduced their marketplace, I found an extremely good deal. Thinking it was too good to be true, but cheap enough to say "what the heck," I bought it anyway. Fast forward a week and I received a completely different item than what was described (no surprise, to be honest) in the listing. Naturally, I reached out to customer service for a refund because the item I received was not as advertised. To my surprise, Newegg refused to refund me the whole amount even though they acknowledged the listing was essentially a scam, so I back charged through my credit card. Then, they banned my account. I had been an avid supporter of the company and built many computers from things purchased there, up until that complete joke of a refund process.

Newegg died the day they sold out way back in the 2010s, screw that horrible customer service.

This update causes my Jetbrains IDE to randomly crash several times a day, it's great. Also my USB hubs wouldn't work this morning until I power cycled everything a few times. What fun!

Hard disagree, fold 4 gang.

I can't speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can't imagine going back to a slab
