It seems usstore.msi.com is having problems.
A friend of mine successfully ordered a new Aegis gaming system 2 weeks ago using his credit card. Yesterday he tried to place an order for me b/c of the major difficulties I am having (more on that in a bit). It failed the very same way all but 1 of my attempts did, that being after entering the confirmation code from SMS 2FA into the website popup, the popup disappears and NOTHING further happens, no charge to account and no feedback on the website.
I lost an opportunity to buy a system on Monday, March 3rd b/c the limit on my debit card was too low. The transaction did hit paypal and my bank but was declined due to that.
I called my bank and had the limit raised, but nothing I tried after that was even submitted to paypal or my bank. I called paypal and they only saw the original declined attempt on March 3rd, none of the many (easily > 10) later attempts made using a variety of different web browsers, machines and operating systems.
My friend used a Visa credit card with ample available credit, I used a Master Card debit with adequate balance and limit, each from a different bank. ALL attempts failed in the same way.
I can only conclude others are having trouble as well, and when I last tried to place a BYO system and saw 32GB of RAM was the only option it leads me to think they are having supply problems and have shut down orders on their website.
It's not very good for customer relations (or product sales revenue!) that MSI doesn't provide much sales support (only an email address which they don't respond to), to handle purchase problems or ask clarifying questions about products, such as how much GPU VRAM are you providing on xxx model? Sometimes important info like that is missing.
I've spent all week trying to place an order without success. I've sent 5 or 6 emails to
usstore@msi.com and
usmarketing@msi.com starting on March 3rd and the only response is from an automation bot and only 1 of those.
I have exhausted all avenues of support I can find. MSI support by ticket system, chat or phone only responds to tech issues.
I am NOT IMPRESSED at all with MSI customer service.
