Well i bought a CPU/mobo combo never thought to inspect before leaving store, now i learned. CPU socket pins are bent and wont exchange, im also concerned i prob burnt CPU correct?

I gave them a BBB complaint, this morning customer relations called me and looking into matter and apologized.

Motherboard looked tampered with but never thought it was damaged, the anti bag was opened not sealed and pages looked used.

EXPECT IT BEFORE LEAVING STORE.

Its a amazing what a BBB complaint does, i hope it gets resolved. I also encourage to pay by credit card, not debit card or cash. Most credit card company's will resolve it as well or at least a charge back

customer service is 1 so far, they need to have people expect them before leaving store, if they told me i would of, on receipt says must be returned within 15 days. Yes maybe this is why there cheap

They let you leave with a Motherboard and CPU and didn't essentially require you to let them perform a POST test on it? Every time I've got a processor and motherboard there, they ask to POST test it otherwise they won't accept a return. That's interesting. I wouldn't have gone as far as contacting the BBB until I returned to the store and asked them what they could do for me. It's a bit of an overreaction.

she just said not accepting return because of bent pins, to make it worse she bent pins more. Also she opened it up hands all over it. Im going back to test cpu because i think its prob no good as well

I live in Arizona, so the nearest MicroCenter is in California. However, I emailed them a while back asking if they ever had plans to expand into Arizona. I never got a response from them. A simple "Thank you for your interest, but no we do not plan to expand" would have been fine. The only place we have here is Fry's Electronics, and I have horror stories I could tell you about their "customer service". I won't go near Fry's any more.

Hope they take care of you. I realize these companies have to protect themselves from unscrupulous patrons, but it affects the honest customers sometimes.

Yes i heard about them. If its a issue with motherboards/cpu they should tell customer to inspect contents before leaving store and sign a release form. I never thought of it when i left, but if employee told me about this policy you know i would of checked it out good and with how the box looked opened i would of wanted a new one bt i cant prove that so now im out. im hoping they will come through

I have had mixed experiences at the now recently closed Micro Center in Northern California.
I bought an Asus motherboard there and it had bent pins. They claimed that bent pins do not make it out of the factory. They would not let me return it but did allow me to buy another mobo with the $50 discount.
Then I returned a HDD this last month that was faulty. They took it back no questions asked.

I looked at google and it seems many people claim of bent pins at Micro Center. Im not saying dont buy from them but expect contents before leaving store. If box looks opened dont purchase. Interesting so did you buy same board?
