How reliable is the in-store pickup reservation?
This is the computer that I am thinking of buying if my replacement Lenovo Legion 7 currently being shipped also turns out to be defective (something that I will be pleasantly surprised to not have happen at this point based on the number of other people who have reported getting multiple duds), however it is a full day of driving to the nearest Microcenter and back and I will be royally cross if I go all that way to come back empty handed due to false stock information. How does the reservation process work, and is it very reliable? Will an employee actually go and verify that they have the item (includng making sure it’s this exact model) and send a message when they’ve done that, or will the website just automatically tell me it’s held if the online stock count says they have it, correct or not?
