Really a great experience. The product I purchased was at a really good price and delivered within just a few days. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this company.

In the middle of a global graphics card shortage, being able to pre-order and get on a waitlist is pretty amazing. Almost no other companies do that. Nobody likes waiting, but after months of battling online shopping bots, signing up for other retailers' notifications only to find the items gone before there was a chance to buy, and spending hours every day refreshing websites trying to find *anything*, having the ability to get on an actual waitlist is huge. Thank you to whoever made this possible! I've seen positive reviews of ShopBLT on forums from over 10 years ago... this is a company who has been around and established solid relationships with the manufacturers and earned a lot of respect in the industry.

Well it’s hard to knock a company for being short on supply of a product that “THE ENTIRE PLANET IS SHORT OF” they dont ask for your money up front and then have you wait. I am hopeful that with a positive review 😉 i will get my order filled sooner then later 😝 but all kidding aside i know from the information posted on this companies website to expect a wait for preordered items. Also to the people who claim scam!!! You dont get to scam people since 1995 and still be around. Be reasonable folks. I will come on here and immediately post when I received my items as proof of legitimacy. Keep on working hard on giving us great prices shopblt crew. Thats my rant.

Just want to ask the question. Are all items in here legit?

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!

Placed a order back in December and patiently waited week after month and kept getting delays. It was just today when they canceled both of my orders. Such a waste of time. Prepare for this rude representative to act like Shop BLT is legit and state the “terms”. What a joke. You’ll thank me by saving you weeks or months of your time by not placing orders with this company. Only getting one star for not charging your credit until the order ships (which it never will).

Why are you guys frustrated if they didn't take the money out of your account? That should be a bonus. If you guys are looking for reviews on this site, take everyone's "bad experiences" with a grain of salt. There's an extreme shortage on these cards right now and the only people reviewing right now are the dissatisfied ones. I am just glad there is finally a place I found doing a queue on these things, I don't care how long it takes. They also state that if we find a better deal and cancel our order there wont be a charge. For those of you that are frustrated I understand. So cancel your order and get out of line so I can get my 3080 quicker, thanks!

Ordered a 3060 ti at retail price. It is nice to have my place in line secure while I hunt for the gpu. If I find one, I can exit the line without penalty.

They cite a worldwide lack of cards as a reason for ETAs to get pushed out yet they only recently capped customers to a max of 50(!!!) cards each. So maybe you thought you placed your order at a good time, say your place in line is 1800 out of 2000 cards incoming on the next shipment (just an example). Great, you might think. Until you realize that the entire shipment can be drained in as little as 40 people ahead of you. So where does that leave the gamers who want one card to upgrade/finish their gaming rig? SOL and sitting on what may as well be an eternal wait list while scalpers and miners drain supply. Limiting cards to one per customer would probably have made these guys VERY popular and based on demand they'd still have sold out every shipment. Instead they exacerbate the problem and chastise anyone who dares wonder what's taking so long. PS: Look at all their recent good reviews, like since these new cards came out. How many of them say they've actually received their order? Not many. Most of them say they got their "item," which is conveniently nonspecific. And now that I've said this I'm sure some shining reviews will start popping up about how they just got their order and they're SO happy, just like they do whenever someone leaves a dissatisfied review. You guys have fun responding to yourselves.

I have a question concerning your return policy. I have heard that cards are in back order, and hard to revive within 30 days. I am afraid that if I order from you, and receive a defective product outside of the thirty days, that I will be out hundreds of dollars. Your website seems trustworthy, and the reviews so far are very positive. This is the only thing holding me back from ordering the gigabyte 5500 xt from your website.

I just preordered 6 x 3060 ti's. I know that I might not see them for months and that's okay because there is a crazy shortage of graphics cards right now. The pandemic has everybody and their mother building a mining rig and then we are all fighting the farms who buy up everything first in the country that they are manufactured in. It really sucks for the little consumer trying to get their hands on these cards... but everything I've heard about this company is fantastic and so I felt very confident in placing an order with them. will I keep hunting for the cards elsewhere? Yes. But I feel good knowing that I placed this order and that I might be able to score 6 brand new cards from a company that appears to really do a great job informing its customers what's up. It is bad Karma to try and knock their Stars down by giving crappy reviews based on their inability to deliver a product that is in global shortage. They are not the manufacturer, and they communicate well. I tried to explain to my husband why I couldn't just go into Fry's or Best Buy and get a card these days and he just doesn't seem to be able to wrap his head around the shortage. Trust me when I tell you the shortage is real and it's worldwide. 4 gig cards are everywhere but those eights and sixes are in high demand for mining right now.

I ordered an Evga 1660 super sc ultra graphics card from them in January. The eta has been pushed back twice... as stated on their dang website that that could happen. It's all over their website guys. They're not hiding anything. Yeah it sucks but cards are hella hard to get these days. It's not like shopblt is making the dang cards. They don't have any control over manufactoring. I actually really appreciate the updates they constantly give. Better than nothing. Better than other places. I ordered my part, waiting in line, and still shopping elsewhere in case I find my part. That's just how it goes now. I just had to give my two cents cuz your guys responses to these dips are amazing. Will update when my part ships or I find it elsewhere. Really hoping to get it from blt tho, I'd love to support them and their amazing sassy responses. UPDATE: The 1660 popped up for sale on Newegg so I copped it from there for 299. More than I wanted to pay but that's life. I canceled my shopblt order easily. The cancelation processed and then was confirmed. I have not and will not be charged.

Listen, Guys, These guys Are NOT A SCAM, I know their website might look outdated, But these people are official yes there are wait times but right now in the world there is a WORLDWIDE Semi-conductor Shortage And it is incredibly nice of them to let you pre-order instead of having to camp websites for your computer parts, i have had over a month wait time but that is not there fault im sure it is much quicker when the world is normal But right now there is a shortage and there is nothing you can do but wait and these people will take care of you they are quick to respond to emails and hope they respond to this review, I found these guys because I was in need of a Graphics card and Yes I did feel like it was a scam at first but then I read reviews and did some research and this is a legitimate company I will definitely be ordering from them in the future, I have not yet recived my product but the real-time order status says it just came into there warehouse I will update this review as neccesary.

They advertise upcoming shipments within a couple of weeks then constantly send out emails that it's been delayed another few weeks. I'm now looking at deliver 80 full days after my order. Bait and switch! Edit in response to shopblt's reply to my initial review. When i placed my order on January 3, the items page on shopblt.com showed that you had 400 units scheduled to arrive at the end of January, and that there were already around 370 preorders. Great! There are still available slots and I'm happy to wait a month for a confirmed unit. Then came the first delay to mid February, then came the second delay to the end of February, then came the third delay to mid-March. Once again, when i placed my order, your shopblt.com item page showed that only 370 of 400 pre orders had been placed. Shopblt.com is misleading people by advertising incorrect delivery expectations. They then justify this by replying to negative reviews stating that the customer should have read their small print. Maybe if the small print had told me that I would get numerous unexpected delays stretching out the delivery of my product by more than three times the initial estimate, I probably wouldn't have placed the order. I'll tell you what - if you actually deliver on the March 11th current estimate, I'll change this review. I will be completely honest though, i have very little faith that you'll make that delivery.

I placed an order for an EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080 at a reasonable price, which is near impossible to find unless you are botting or get extremely lucky in a raffle / product drop. My order was placed only 1 day ago and I have already received a few emails from the company that my place in line is held, when stock is expected, and the terms and conditions. I am beyond pleased with the communication and upfront expectation about my order; make sure to read them so you aren't disappointed. For anyone considering using this site, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FOR PRE-ORDERS: You are reserving a place in their product line, FREE OF CHARGE. You are not guaranteed a product by a certain date, but you can cancel as long as the product isn't in stock and they haven't yet begun packaging and fulfilling your order. If the price changes, they will alert you and give you the option to cancel or continue at the higher price. There isn't an online merchant that is more fair than this and I highly recommend reserving a place in line if you're looking for a hard to obtain product. My order is coming in next week, but I am fully expecting it to be pushed back as I am near the end of their line. Be ready for delays until stock on CPU's / GPUs / Motherboards returns to normal. Once they get through this crazy demand, a website update wouldn't hurt, however they will be in my favorites along with Newegg and Amazon for future PC parts purchases.

I am a person that knows how to read the terms and conditions. I do not cry and give one stars due to an ETA that constantly changes (not Shopblt's fault) and a price that can vary due to TARRIFS (Thanks Trump). I am thankful that SHOPBLT will keep my place for my order and not charge me if I wish to cancel my order. IF you do not like to wait or in a hurry go to an auction site and pay the scalper prices for that product you need so badly.

This is my initial review of this Store. I will be back to add more. So I have never build a tower before, I was fortunate to grab a prebuilt with a 3060ti from Bestbuy, in route. First, I randomly found your website looking for GPUs. The website appears to be made in 1991 for sure, which made me search BBB and it led me here. I have read some reviews of the reviews while I am doing a. #2. I am laughing so hard which helped my #2. MFRs deals with so many shops and not just ShopBLT. If all the complainers read the daily articles of GPU shortages and try to understand. Scalpers are there too ruining it, peeps needs to chill man. The ShopBLT feedback on here are top notch man. I mean consumers just have to read them. 5 Star already and I haven't bought anything yet also. But because of the 4/5 goldstars and reviewers continuous replies on here I know this website is too legit to quit now. I saw the prices and wow compared to other store prices, I will be ordering one RTX 3080 as soon as I am done with this initial review. The only personal remark I have is the "limit of 50 per customer" is too much. Scalpers are probably in this line as well. Unless I read those alert message above of your website incorrectly. Anyways, I will be in line while prices is still low, I don't care when it arrives. Notification via email, that's all. And I know you guys are on top of that according the reviews.

I'm astounded by the plethora of buffoons who write bad reviews about arrival dates and pricing. Don't you people understand that video cards are in very short supply everywhere and manufacturers are screwing over resellers left and right by missing delivery dates and jacking up costs? What other company lets you wait in line for $0 for very hard to get items and lets you cancel if you don't want to wait anymore without paying a fee? Man, there are some really dumb people in this world. This company is perfectly fine and does a great job of communication and letting you know what's going on with your order. I've been using them for over 20 years. They're not a scam.

As the title states, their "ETA" is completely arbitrary and the price that's reflected when you place your preorder is guaranteed to increase the longer you wait in the queue. I placed an order for an admittedly high demand motherboard and GPU and both were pushed back week after week, like clockwork. The price of the items also increased after weeks of waiting. Thankfully I was able to buy what I wanted from other retailers at a significant savings from the increased pricing. The only reasoning for giving them two stars is because they provide you updates when items are delayed and after cancelling my order over the weekend, my cancellation was processed on the first business day following the request. However, after contacting them regarding my order and being treated as an inconvenience and seeing how condescending the individual responding to critical reviews is, I will never buy or recommend this website to anyone.

Twas five days before Christmas, as I clicked with my mouse. Not a gpu was stocked, as I browsed, browsed, and browsed; No resellers dared care what my wallet could bare, No hints that msrp's price would stay fair; Till I clicked on a related site and suddenly did a human captcha, passed, and found shopblt; Cautious, I scanned for my chance to attack, I double checked every detail that a scam site would lack, WAIT, the weight read 1 pound,(clearly too low) so I check with the manufacturer, Elementary! Shopblt typed 1 pound cause gigabyte's page does not mention the matter! It's the truth that all other details did match thus I placed my order as shopblt's msrp price was a catch. :) Where I sat in the new gpu line, I never did know But my entitled first world feelings screamed "shopblt is sloooow" 15 days later, shopblt's email is clear; My item's expected 12 days into the year That day came and the ETA went blank quick, I had read reviews, so I knew to just let the clock tick. I remember shopblt's daily updates read mostly the same, Catching the "Total Orders" go down at all became an unwinnable game. The line and the incoming stock grew again and again My next verse had until January 19th to begin I was pleased; Shopblt has the guts and the gall to fix their 1 pound discrepancy that I told you I saw That same day, I inferred, their first stock arriving is why, shopblt, with candid honesty, corrected the 1 pound lie! But my inbox, my anxiety, and my experience with shopblt grew when the price rose 60 bucks on the listed gpu?! I prayed my card dodged it until shopblt emailed me the proof I'd accepted that TERMS OF SALE WARN THAT BACKORDER PRICES COULD GO "Poof" Now, readers understand how I'm uniquely bound As my order all this time was priced within my $500 gift card's inbound So 34 days, with 0 response on whether I can change cards, my order has stayed put. I've learned that shopblt's stock is likely not a bigfoot. I've learned that with shopblt, all of the real flack lies in those "Spray and Pray" few who spray with funds that lack A small price increase is for what most people should worry and don't count how many times you'll wish that they hurry Do shop Bottom Line Telecommunications; I recommend that you go Especially when it's the only place where low priced gpus flow As someone who's lost their order by the skin of their teeth, I demand you accept there's nothing sinister beneath I respect you for looking for anything smelly but no smell is worth a fair priced gpu, really. Now my computer sits on it's shelf and each thermal throttle takes more from it's health. I stare at it sideways when I go to bed and remind myself why my gpu dream is dead. The biggest temptation is a computer that works yet when in use lacks all it's visual perks. I pray, you reader, find this a worthy prose as my honest review must now come to a close. When gpu markets remain this abyssal an order on shopBLT warrants no sane dismissal ShopBLT's price increases are not light but the final price is not one that I wished to fight.
