    I bought a high end gaming computer from TigerDirect (Lenovo Legion ) which TD advertised as having a DVDRW drive. After receiving the computer I found it didn't have one. I tried calling TD many times and was giving the run-around. The support people I talked to were neither polite or helpful. Some gave me a "new" number to call which sent me back to the original number, or they forward me to a new number and the line went dead. I wish I had checked TD's reviews before buying this computer. Since I just received it today I will see if I can return it. Judging from my sad experience I am not hopeful.

    Due to the Covid-19, my pregnant sister had to resort to telecommute in order to keep her self safe. I decided to give her a computer as a baby shower present. Looking at multiple sites decided to go with Tiger Direct. Big mistake. Order a desktop computer, mouse and keyboard combo, as well as a pair of monitors. The next day received an email confirmation showing that the two monitors I order are in "Backorder" status, which is not a big deal.-I called and the representative told me that is going to take 2-3 weeks, I'm fine with that, My sister can use her tv in the meantime.

    Once the keyboard arrived my sister found that the shipping package was damage, the equipment arrived in pieces. The same thing happened to the desktop computer, a box arrived broken and the computer itself damaged. We decided to call Tiger Direct to make them aware of the situation and ask for a resolution. They initiated a replacement process. Which it takes days, plus now we need to wait for the return label to arrive. Drop the item at the carrier and then they will issue a replacement. In the meantime, my sister is waiting for a computer to be able to work from home.

    I called again and asked to speak to a supervisor, the agent reply that all supervisors are busy, etc, I told him that I was very frustrated with the situation and that I wanted to see if we could expedite the process and what other options I have. Maybe a supervisor could approve this. The representative was very cold and decided to put a wall. I'm used to the level of service that other companies, such as Amazon, provide. This would have been resolved quickly and without all the hassle. I sent two emails without any answer. I hope to receive the monitors and the return label and send them their stuff and be done with it. Don't want to deal with TigerDirect anymore.

    When the computer arrived, the speakers didn't work. I immediately began contacting TigerDirect to fix the problem and received NO response from any of my emails. After 2 weeks, the laptop completely stopped working. I began calling, requesting a refund and was told information would be sent to me. Of course, nothing has ever been sent to me. My warranty was refunded, but my return on the laptop has been "in process" for over two months. So my laptop DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, and I have no funds to get a new laptop. I would not recommend ordering this laptop, ordering a refurbished laptop, or ordering from TigerDirect under any circumstances. Major disappointment.

    I ordered a refurbished HP 820 G3 laptop item 42128093 from TigerDirect (sell by HPI). The display resolution only support 1366x768 and not as advertised for FHD 1920x1080. I have been requesting for return and refund for 4 weeks now. TigerDirect has requested RMA from HPI and no response. I requested TigerDirect to correct the laptop feature description not to cheat the other customer like my case. TigerDirect does nothing. The laptop is still advertised with the FHD 1920x1080 feature and keep cheating other customer. I wrote review feedback about this laptop and got rejected. That's why there is still no review for this laptop. Do not buy from TigerDirect or HPI.

    I ordered 2 computers from Tiger Direct. I received 1 which was a used refurbished HP 360. The 2nd computer is a $700 HP Desktop and it never showed. After I reported it never arrived from the tracking. I called Tiger Direct let them know. They said they had confirmation it was delivered by UPS. That's is great because I had it shipped to a UPS store to avoid issues. The UPS store said it never arrived. UPS has opened an investigation. I have followed up every week for last 5 weeks and still cannot get a refund or a replacement for their lost order. Every time I reach out they tell me there is an investigation going on. Waste of time and money. Will never use ever again.

    We have used TigerDirect for our Business for nearly two decades, but this was the first time we needed to return a purchase. We found the laptop computer we ordered was not the one our company needed, so I contacted customer service. After waiting for nearly 10 minutes for a representative, I was informed it would take 10-15 days to get a Return Authorization, we would be charged a 15% restocking fee (because we actually opened the box w/ the computer in it), and I was responsible for return shipping. Sadly, there is no reason for us to ever use TigerDirect again...their service and return policies are too outdated.

    I purchased a motherboard from this company because it said "Available" "In Stock". After I paid $200, it read "Back-ordered" "Not in Stock". I called to cancel and a refund. They said it already shipped...and it is almost there? How is that possible? I just cancelled the order. So, instead of refunding me, they charged me again..for the exact same amount. So, now I just paid $400 for a motherboard I am not going to get. They refused to refund me, even though the UPS tracking # clearly shows it went back to their warehouse. This company is horrible and fraudulent. They know it, and don't care. Avoid them at all cost!!!!

    We recently purchased an MSI laptop from Tiger Direct. From the beginning, the transaction was a mess. First, my Tiger Direct Account shows no record of the transaction. The shipping took over a week and 1/2, and it took TD the better part of a week just to locate the shipment and send me a tracking number. Finally received the computer and it has a faulty network card and keyboard issues. I called to get an RMA and was told to call MSI to get the return authorization. I tried to call MSI, and not one of the phone numbers TD gave me worked. I emails Tiger Direct and they gave me yet another non-working number. I finally emailed and got a return authorization from MSI.

    I sent replied back to the email that TD sent me instructing me to get the return authorization from MSI. The response? "Tiger Direct has to get the return authorization, not you". It was as if the customer service person forgot what they had instructed me to do AND failed to read their own email at the bottom of the chain. I replied that I had done everything they told me to do, and to send me an address to return the computer. I have not received a response. I finally called my credit card company and told them what was happening. They are disputing the charge and have credited my account. However, I still have a $700 paperweight and I cannot get TD to even send me an address to return the thing to. If my experience is any indication, this company is not a good company to deal with. If my experience is common, they may not be in business much longer, making them an even riskier choice for doing business with.

    Terrible products & customer service. I bought a refurbished Hewlett Packard CPU in April of 2020. It arrived and would not connect to my existing Acer monitor. I bought several sets of cables, nothing worked. I went back to TigerDirect and bought a new Hewlett Packard monitor. 2 days later they informed me it wasn't available anymore. I bought a different refurbished Hewlett Packard monitor. It arrived a week later and was visibly damaged. I hooked it up anyway and yes, the screen is cracked from no packing materials in the shipping box. A loose power cord and a cable were thrown in the box for good measure. I contacted TigerDirect after a half hour wait time and the girl that answered kept saying she couldn't hear me, I hung up. I immediately called back, another 30 minute wait/hold time and I was told that I would have to contact Joy Systems to get a case number, which I did.

    Now, after calling TigerDirect back to give them the case number I have been on hold for over 40 minutes and finally a recording comes on and tells me to call back another time or contact them on their website. I now have 3 different websites involved with these returns, I don't want any of their products. Do yourself a favor and avoid this company. I have been a customer since 2009. What happened to them? I feel like I am on a mission now to get my money back.

    I ordered a laptop that was rated A+ as a refurbished machine. When it arrived it would not hold its charge. In order to return I had to go through a subsidiary of theirs called Joy Systems which provided me with a RMA# which is what I needed to give to TigerDirect so they could process the return. I'm not sure why we have to do this and they don't do it internally but I did as I was told. 1 month later and 6 phone calls (You can't e-mail TigerDirect with a Gmail account) I still do not have even the Return label. I'm out over $500 and they just keep telling me they need more time to process. Very disappointed.

    I purchased this gaming monitor online on 04/17/20 and paid extra for 2-day shipping, upon receiving the monitor I hooked it up and it is clearly damaged and will not function. 2 hours after it was dropped off I called and emailed Mariel from the customer service team. She asked for a photo and I sent the below and said she would process the return and that it would take 5-7 days for a return label. I did not hear back from them at all so I contacted them via email on 04-29. Again, no response so I tried again on 05-04 with still no response. I then tried calling the number on the email signature to call my account executive (Which has a different company name "PCM" on the signature). I was given the run around and was told I had to leave messages which were never returned.

    A couple days later I tried contacting Tiger Direct customer service again and ended up getting my Account Exec on the phone who told me their phone system and email service has been down and they have not received my messages. She said that PCM owns TigerDirect now and that their systems are being merged so nobody can help me. Mariel (the account exec) then told me I needed to contact Asus and get a return number. I did that and their phone system was down because of the pandemic so I had to explain that it was damaged and not that it was plugged in wrong via a virtual chat.

    I provided this to Mariel almost 10 days ago and I have still not received a return label or any indication that they are going to refund my money that they have been holding onto for over a month since I originally contacted them. Their management has not and will not return my calls or emails. I now feel that I have been robbed by this company for over $700.00 and I fear I will not ever get my money back.

    I have purchased from Tiger Direct in the past from their retail stores and I have never had any issues such as these. It is ridiculous that I can only speak to 1 person about my order and they are treating me like I am a business and not a consumer. I can go return something to Best Buy the same day I buy it without this headache. I actually already went to Microcenter and bought the same monitor from them in the store with no issues the same day I received the item from Tiger Direct. I will never do business with Tiger Direct again and I recommend nobody else does either.

    Unless you plan to have a great deal of frustration, and you have tons of money to give away, do not deal with this organization. We are filing fraud charges on them currently.

    I purchased an item in error from their website. I’ve been trying to return it for (5) weeks now and getting the run around. I’ve called NINE times now asking for a return authorization number over the course of 5 weeks. Each time they say “We are waiting on the vendor to give us a return number”. Let me give you a clue here... I paid Tiger Direct the $267, not the vendor. You should accept the return that you keep telling me is not denied but refuse to give me an RMA. I’ve contacted my credit card company to step in and I NEVER do that. Poorest customer service I have ever experienced from a vendor. NEVER AGAIN Tiger Direct, never! There are plenty of other places to shop to buy electronics. Terrible, terrible experience. Did I say terrible enough times? I could hire homeless people off the street and get better customer service people. I don’t appreciate being hung up on multiple times when asking questions either.

    Purchased an HP Laser printer TigerDirect advertised as new, but when it arrived, the box was clearly labeled refurbished. Luckily, Paypal was used to purchase because all contacts with Tigerdirect to return the item were ignored. Terrible customer service. Nonexistent! Opening a case through Paypal was the only way to get a refund, but paid $49.00 to return refurbished garbage to them in order to get it out of the lobby of the business. This business is on my "will not do business with again" list because their advertisements cannot be trusted. Bait and switch is a real thing! Tigerdirect advertised the item as new and what was received was refurbished. One star is too high a rating as Tigerdirect doesn't even deserve that.

    After an expensive new motherboard turned out to be defective, we tried to get it returned. Six weeks after multiple emails, most of which were us requesting follow up because we still hadn't heard back, the agent told me that I had to contact their vendor to request an RMA. When I expressed disbelief, the agent was rude and sarcastic. Seriously? They buy a product from a vendor, sell it to me, and then I have to go directly to their vendor to request a return for a defective product? Why didn't I just purchase the motherboard direct from the vendor and cut out TigerDirect, the middleman? I did phone the vendor and what a friendly, helpful, efficient group of people they turned out to be! So, perhaps I should thank TigerDirect for letting me know I shouldn't bother to use them in future, I'll just buy direct. I've logged a complaint on their system that they state is "with access directly to our president" but I'm not holding my breath for a response.

I then found out I have to pay for shipping it back, cost $37.00. Initial cost of the printer was $150 plus $36 extended warranty. I also had to pay 15% restocking fee. I just got my refund back to my debit card, 1/11/2020, three months later, and of course not the whole thing, and after at least a dozen phone calls and them hanging up on me, and false promises.

    I received a defective computer system from Tiger Direct. I only discovered the defect (camera not working) after spending a great deal of time migrating files and settings from my old system to the new one and installing programs such a Microsoft Office, my email program etc.. Because I didn't want to have to start over with setting up a replacement system, I decided I would live with the system without a working camera. I asked for a refund for part of the system price to compensate for the defective system. But I was told they would only replace the defective system or provide a $10 credit to my account for use on my next purchase, but the credit would be good for only two weeks.

    Supposedly with the manufacturer warranty which turns out to be quire inaccurate. The refurbisher is no manufacturer. It repair and sells the computers through various distributors. And they only offer a 90 day warranty. Far less than Dell's 1 year on refurbished computers. In addition the terms and conditions of return are onerous. By the time you get through them the 30 days to return the item has passed and you are stuck. Poor way of conducting business. They also ignore unsubscribe requests.

    TigerDirect has archaic shipping policies. They try to “verify” the person’s address who the product is being shipped to through a faulty system. I was unable to ship a computer to my daughter, who is attending UCLA, because they couldn’t verify she lived at the address I wanted the computer shipped to. VERY FRUSTRATING.

    My first experience with TigerDirect was probably 25 or 30 years ago when they offered a Windows 3.11 and Ami Pro bundle that moved me from DOS to Windows. But now and for as long as I can remember, "REFURBISHED" is all they sell. I've unsubscribed from their emails (for what good THAT will do to stop them) and, from what I read in the other reviews, "REFURBISHED" does NOT mean to look and perform as new. I'm not sure in whose basement or garage their products are "REFURBISHED," but it sounds like it's not at the OEM. Until TigerDirect gets away from reselling original owners' problems, I'll blacklist anything they send me after unsubscribing.

    Hi, I was seeking a good used laptop in order to give public presentations. A friend recommended TigerDirect. I bought the best one they had on the site at over $500. Next up was loading it with Microsoft Office and learning powerpoint. All well and good so far. Had to learn powerpoint. Did so. Diligently worked on presentation. Needed to purchase Display Port - HDMI cord. Picked up a new cord at Fry's and went to my presentation. Thirty people waited while I tried to get the presentation to show. No luck. It would NOT connect. Had to reschedule. Embarrassing. Had it checked out. Display port was non-functional and maybe impossible to fix. Now need to go purchase another laptop to do the presentation.

    Another problem is that the power cord is sloppy. Doesn't fit tightly. Ok most of the time, but at times, I thought it was ok but then the computer quit working even when plugged in. Apparently battery was draining whole time it was plugged in. Also Caps key doesn't light up. No way to know if it is actually on or not until one sees the text that comes out. I really expected a refurbished computer that I paid more than $500 for would be good. Live and learn. Sorry to pass on a bad review. I hate doing that, but people should know.

They are a great local reseller with great products for great prices and I always receive them within a reasonable about of time. I came to this page and saw all the negative reviews. I had to share my experience because every company has their flaws. But this is a good company and I think this page just shows all the bad. But people with something negative to say are usually more likely to go through the trouble of making a review. So this is just all bad exposure... There's nothing wrong with this company. They don't scam anyone. They are just trying to run a business....

    I placed an order and it took 5 business days to process the order. I called and told them if not 5 days after my call to cancel warehouse distribution shipment. The rep put it in the system to cancel immediately. They shipped the order within my timeline for shipping and I willing to accept. The order came to my city and was return to the warehouse because of customer service error. They offered to reship with free shipping; at that time I had ordered another computer from Newegg and had my tracking number. TigerDirect have some customer service reps that don't speak good English. I had problems getting my rep to understand basic instructions. I recommend Micro Center, Costco, Walmart, Newegg, Fry's, and Sam's for all your computer needs.

    So I placed a order with TigerDirect. The item was on back order which wasn’t a problem for me. Two weeks pass after placing the order and I receive a email from job Asunción stating that I need to fill out a corporation gift form stating that what I ordered is a promotional product. I called the customer service number to get clarification on what exactly this email is about. The customer representative that I spoke to told me that he was not sure what the email was indicating and after repeating my phone number told me that I would receive a call back explaining what the email was about.

    I let four hours pass and I receive no return phone call, so I called customer service back myself. This time there is a woman who answers that I can barely hear because of all the background noise on her end of the line, plus for some reason she kept taking long pauses to reply to my questions. I asked her if I could possibly speak to a manager or supervisor and the woman hung up on me. I now call back and speak to a different woman, which once again I ask if I may speak to a manager or supervisor about my order and all the confusion to go along with it. She informs me that the supervisor is on lunch break, so she takes my number and tells me that he will call me back in a half hour. I proceed to wait a hour and a half and guess what, no return call from the supervisor.

    Now I call one last time to cancel my order because of all the hassle and runaround I have been given. They act surprised that I want to cancel my order and start making excuses that it’s difficult to cancel my order because it had started shipment already. Funny that when I checked the order status before I even called it was still on back order and no shipment date was available. Through all the calls I made I was courteous and used no foul language or raised my voice but I was still treated very poorly.

    In my opinion this company is not a trustworthy site to make any purchases from ever! When I asked for a confirmation number or email stating that my order is canceled I was told they don’t do that. I then mentioned that if I receive a charge on my credit card for the item that I canceled that I would press charges for credit card theft and fraud. Suddenly the customer service rep said he was going to make it up to me and send me a cancellation email. Scam website? I think so, you have been warned!

    Stay away from this place! Crooks I've place an order on April 1st and 2 hard drives arrived in a box few days later. One of them turned out to be defective, which does happen from time to time. I called TigerDirect and said it’s defective and my NAS is rejecting it as it fails basic SMART test and that I'd like to return it and was told that I have to call Western Digital and file an RMA there for warranty process. And then call them back once I have the RMA from Western Digital with the number and only then they'll take it back; so I did. I shipped it back right away and week later I get an email "When am I going to ship it back?" What? Thank god for tracking numbers. I responded, “You've already had it for nearly a week, it was signed by so and so at the dock as received.” Ok, no response.

    I call back about a refund and I'm told 10 days from the time it is received. So I waited 3 weeks and no refund. Called again and nobody has a clue. They'll escalate the case so that "somebody" might look at it and call me back. You guessed it, nobody ever calls back! Month into the ordeal since order date and there was no refund. Every time you call, they'll hang up on you. You'll have to call 2-3 times to get somebody who won't click on you. Never again from me. Save yourself grief and order somewhere else. The only reason I ordered from this place is because they had a hard drive that is no longer in production and they had 5 year old stock. Learned my lesson.

Called TigerDirect back and gave them the number and they said in a couple days I would receive a Return Call Tag to ship it back... That was over a week ago.

    I'm glad this is the 5th website that pops up when you search TigerDirect. I will never purchase from this company again. I thought they were like a legit company but come to find out they are just a third party distributor with no control over the products they are selling. I purchased a brand new Levono V330 laptop in mid-January 2019 for school. The computer started having issues right away. It was really slow. Then a blue Windows error screen popped up saying critical process died and it would crash.

    Now it won't even turn on. It goes directly to a Dos screen and it won't let me select any of the 4 options. I had a friend look at it. Can't figure it out. I contacted TigerDirect 5 weeks later at the beginning of March. They said it was past the 30 day return policy and that I should contact the manufacturer - Lenovo. I do that. Lenovo won't take it back. They said they would "fix" it. They also said it was a refurbished computer when TigerDirect is advertising it as new. I have been back and forth with TigerDirect and they won't budge. Now I'm stuck with a useless computer and I'm $600 in the hole. Thanks TigerDirect. I read the reviews on my computer and about TigerDirect in general. Same thing seems to happen a lot more often than it should.

    I ordered double of each: motherboard, processor, and 2 sticks of memory on Sunday, Jan 17th. The total cost was over a thousand dollars. On Monday I got an order confirmation in my email...Cool, I thought. Tuesday morning, I got another email showing that it was shipped in three separate boxes. No problem, I thought. Tuesday night, I went to a store to buy groceries, and my account was overdrawn. When I checked it online, I noticed that they "held for signature pending" the total, and then again for each additional box, double charging my bank account. I'm now overdrawn and accruing fees. I called customer service and they told me that was just how they process the financing.

    I wrote a negative review. Ronaldo called me, and asked me to amend my review...after offering a 10 percent off coupon and assuring me that everything would be taken care of within an hour. The next day, I got all the packages, my bank dropped the hold on the large amount, and they took the funds for the individual boxes. I sent a few emails asking how they would compensate me for the overdraft fees, and haven't heard back. They might as well have offered a 90 percent discount, because I've spent my last dime on TigerDirect. They used to be a good company to work with. Now, I haven't seen a positive review.

    I ordered a laptop. I received an order confirmation and noticed that TigerDirect placed an auth on my credit card for the amount due. Two days later, when I hadn't received a shipping confirmation I looked closely at the order confirmation. In small text it read "Please call". Strange thing to put on so subtly if will hold up my order. I called.

    They claimed that my billing address was incorrect - that the street, city, state and zip were all incorrect. Which must be false, because they had a $600 auth on my credit card. They at least must have had the correct zip code. I gave them the billing address over the phone. They said that they must cancel the first authorization and make a new one with the correct address (again I told them, how did they make the first auth if they had the wrong billing address?).

    My next question on the call was "So when will it be shipped?" They responded in about 5 weeks, as the laptop I purchased has since gone out of stock. I said that it too late - I do not want to wait 5 weeks for my laptop, please cancel my order. They said OK and then abruptly hung up. I never got a order cancellation confirmation. Four hours after the call I got a second $600 authorization on my card for the laptop order that I cancelled. I called them and they claimed that they never did any authorization on my card, much less two of them - even though I was looking at my bank account live with $1200 in auth sitting there from TigerDirect. This was a week before Christmas. I had to wait until after Christmas until both of these auths fell off my credit card. They walk the fence between fraud and incompetence. Stay away.

    I am a secretary who doesn't have much in the way of $$. I was thrilled to get a deal on an open box TV when my old one died suddenly. It was difficult to wait and I was so excited when the box arrived. It looked nice, and then we plugged it in. It didn't work!!! So, called tech and went through the steps. STILL didn't work. They told me to ship it back and they'd send a call tag within 24 hours. BUT, they wouldn't send another TV. Okay, I call customer service, I ask if there's ANY way they could make me a deal on something comparable even if it cost a little more, NOPE. Call and talk to a supervisor the next day I was told.

    So I called today (still no call tag, 48 hours later). Got put on hold, hung up upon. Called back, was on hold OVER 30 minutes, got hung up upon again. Finally got through to another customer service rep and was told there's NO supervisor available. I explained what the problem was, I asked why I couldn't get a refund when the TV was SHIPPED instead of when they RECEIVED it, because I can't even afford to go find something else as they still had my money. I asked AGAIN if there were SOME way we could work out a deal because it wasn't fair my having to spend all this time and effort on a TV that I was promised would work and for which I now had to return.

    I don't believe I was asking for anything unreasonable wanting something that was the same size and brand. The rep tried to get me to take a SMALLER model even after I repeatedly TOLD him I was unable to SEE a small size due to bad eyesight. My frustration level at this point is unbelievable. I cannot believe they wouldn't work with me on ANY point. Apparently, they plan to NOT refund my money until that broken TV is back in their warehouse, even though it will SHOW that we have shipped it back. They won't make me a deal on another TV that's the same size and brand even though they sent one, that was guaranteed to work and DIDN'T! I will NEVER shop here again. In fifty plus years of work with customer service people, I have NEVER encountered such a LACK of helpfulness. Worst Christmas EVER, thanks so much TigerDirect.

When I called about a return I was blown away. 15% "restock" fee right off the top then you have to pay for shipping (I understand the shipping).

    I purchased an ASUS ROG laptop for $1600 plus the extended warranty thru SquareTrade. A total loss. The computer was a lemon and had to go to ASUS immediately. It has never been right. It has since been to SquareTrade and comes back appearing untouched - dirty and not repaired. They send it out to a third party - know this. My purchase has been a complete loss and now TigerDirect has been bought out and doesn't support my purchase and because of the waste of the extended warranty the time has run out for me to get anything done about it. Instead of a quality purchase that should have lasted, I am out $1600 plus the extended warranty and stuck with a lemon and need a new computer and it has been like this since I got it.

    Once you purchase this, there is no support if there is a problem with your purchase. The SquareTrade is a waste of money and TigerDirect doesn't take care of you and ASUS doesn't take care of you. All three of these are companies that you want to avoid - if anything goes wrong you have nowhere to turn and no support. I am very disappointed with ASUS. They do not care if a customer invests in their product and ends up with a lemon. I strongly suggest to not purchase from any of these because if you have a problem, none of them will resolve it.

    On Dec 12, 2017, I ordered a $900 TV for overnight delivery. I gave TigerDirect 2-3 days to deliver, even though I had paid for overnight. I then started calling to see where the TV was. TigerDirect couldn't answer my question and had me call their shipper. I called their shipper multiple times, and the shipper told me they didn't know where the shipment was. Ultimately, the shipper told me the shipment was lost. They told me to call TigerDirect and tell them to ship another TV. Instead, I called TigerDirect and told them to just cancel the order and issue a refund. Several weeks later, in the last few days of December, the shipper called and asked if they could arrange delivery. This is after they told me the shipment was lost. I told them not to deliver, as TigerDirect was issuing a refund and that the product had been ordered for overnight delivery.

    Weeks later TigerDirect had still not issued a refund. So, I called them again and they said they would issue a refund. That's didn't work either; no refund came. So, today on February 12, 2018, a full three months after I placed my overnight order, I called TigerDirect again. I told them they needed to issue the refund. They said that their shipping system says that I declined delivery. Yes, I declined delivery of an order I placed for overnight delivery when they called to ask if they could deliver the product three weeks late.

    So, now TigerDirect says they will process the credit, but they have to check and see if the product was delivered or not. Of course that makes no sense, as they confirmed that their system shows no delivery has happened. So, I have no hope of TigerDirect refunding, so I called my credit card company today and challenged the charges. I will not be ordering from TigerDirect again. As a final kicker, in this whole process TigerDirect told me that they don't ship TVs for overnight delivery. But, that's not what their website says. Their website advertised overnight delivery and accepted a $190 payment for overnight delivery, even though I was later told they don't deliver TVs overnight. Their website should not say that a product can be shipped overnight, if they have no means for making that happen. So, purchaser beware.

    Our company went to the Tiger Direct website to purchase a processor for a computer. When we received the shipment we received (2) fire pits - yes Fire Pits - instead of what we thought we were purchasing. When we contacted them, first, I tried 6 times to get to a customer support person - pressing the number 2 sent me into oblivion and I would have to call back. So finally I pushed 1 for sales and spoke to a representative. After over 1 hour, we were told that the description on the website did not match the product in the warehouse, and the part number on the website was in fact a fire pit. So in essence that is what we ordered. WOW! can I just say...

    They did not have the part advertised on the website. They would request a return. I would have to drop off the incorrect parts to a UPS office and they would issue a credit in 10 business days. I fail to understand how they can keep my money when this was completely the fault of Tiger Direct. I will have to find the product and purchase it from another place and incur the expense again.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told that all the supervisors were in a meeting it would be the next day before I could speak to someone. So the next day I called and asked to speak to a supervisor right away, I was placed on hold for literally 36 min before finally hanging up to continue my day. This was a complete waste of time. I will not do business with them again and would caution anyone from ordering from their website. It is unreliable and they have no sense of customer service to correct an error on their part.

It's just an discontinued item. How a company like this still stays in business is beyond me but they are quickly becoming well known for their awful business practices...

    Tiger Direct used to be a great company in the 90s and early 00s. *Used* to be. Ordered a dot matrix printer for our business to replace the one I ordered from them years ago that finally went out. The machine we got had two other shipping labels on the manufacturer packaging -- big red flag. When it didn't print right, I had to call at least six times (after holding and being disconnected), go through three different people (in different countries) and re-explain myself from scratch to each every time, and it became clear they were trying to wear me down so they wouldn't have to deal with it.

    Refused to send me a postage paid return slip, so I was out another $37 for that. Followed all of their instructions for returning it, took them 10 more days to credit me than the "7 to 10 business days" they said once they received it, and *still* charged me a 15% "re-stocking fee," because their "notes" say I supposedly told them there wasn't anything wrong with it! So I have no printer and I'm out $74 total, they've kept money from at least two people who returned the same piece of crap, and will probably sell it again to others until one of them might just keep it rather than deal with what I did and let them pocket everything for selling junk.

    I can't imagine any business selling substandard product and providing such insulting customer "service" still being in business. I guess they're coasting on their former reputation and burning legacy customers like me, but I will never buy from them again and hope they go out of business as quickly as possible so no one else has to deal with these scammers.

After still receiving no communication from TigerDirect I checked the order status on 12/20/2017 and the status had been changed to "price quote".

    Called TigerDirect and after sitting on hold for approximately 5-10 minutes a support rep informed me that they don't have the product advertised. I checked the product again on the website and NOW it says out of stock. The support rep informed me that the "price quote" order status meant that I would have to reorder the item to be placed on the backorder list. No communication was sent to inform me my order had effectively been cancelled nor did they offer to make it right after I called them.

    I noticed two large fraudulent charges on my credit card from TigerDirect. I called and couldn't get a live person either. Went to a voice mail. I have never heard of this company and have no idea how it got on my credit card??? Does anyone know if this company is even legitimate? I read some of the reviews and it sounds fishy.

    Steer clear of this company!! My teenage daughter ordered a refurbished laptop for college - she spent five hundred dollars on what we assumed would be a quality piece of equipment. It had issues from the start. Upon contacting TigerDirect, they said if she sent it back they would refund her money. She sent it back as directed - and they contacted her and said “As your RMA has expired so we no longer can refund.” So at this point, TigerDirect has taken our money, AND we have no laptop... How is that ok?? Absolute criminals!! I have contacted them several times via email and have received no response. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR MONEY!!!

When I called them to tell them the replacement router was dead on arrival, they tried to play it off by telling me "we already shipped the replacement". They are a bad company...

    So I ordered two computer monitors as well as the CPU which all were supposed to be shipped together. They do not come together. They came separately. They came week almost a week apart the two items from the one item and when I got my monitors there was no charger. I called the company. They weren’t willing to help at all. I told him I wanted to buy another monitor and I asked if they would price match another website that I found the monitor on. I said no. I said, "Can you help with the shipping?" They said no. I said, "What are you guys going to do to compensate for all the time I spend when you messed up my order and I still don’t have a charger for my monitor that I have to purchase on my own?" They said, "We can’t help you!" Do not buy from TigerDirect. Do not buy from these people. They’ll sell you a refurbished pieces of equipment and then when you try to get help they shun you.

    I purchased a refurbished computer from Tiger Direct online. The item arrived in a reasonable amount of time but did not show as an order on my account. The item was damaged. I requested a return, sent pic’s, and waited for UPS. They didn’t show. Made 4 more calls and a week later, still nothing. Spoke with Christiansen at ** initially and the latest Karen ** at **. She wanted me to return the item at my cost, wait for it to arrive at their warehouse, and then wait for a replacement. I spent 2 days waiting on UPS and several hours on phone explaining this issue multiple times only to be placed on hold and disconnected. I would rate this experience as an example of what never to do to customers. This company Tiger Direct, PCM, and MacMall should not be used!!! Buyer beware!!!

    Being honest with this ripoff company is not the way to be... Purchase a rebuild computer all sounded well but it did not have a CD ROM writer. Only a reader that was not stated clearly... Called back and was told a refund would be given back but that they had a restocking fee... 26?? I agree to that but when I got the refund back on my credit card they did not refund any of the tax money and took 40.50 off the refund. This clearly was not told and they lied about it also... Since when does a company get to keep tax money on a product that is returned... I feel like I was scammed by this company.

When the time came to use the labels, we discovered that they are missing a black indexing mark that allows the label printer to feed each consecutive label the correct distance.

    I ordered a rack enclosure from them for my business. I was trying to get my additional server nodes in place for an upcoming project, so I ordered well in advance of the start date. The product arrived a little after they had promised, but nothing drastic. When the truck dropped off the item, I opened the box and noticed that there was a huge dent in the side of the rack. The doors could barely close on one side. It's not surprising, since it came with hardly any cushioning or protection. I asked to have it returned, and thankfully they were responsive, and agreed to order a truck to come pick it up. Because of this, I was obliged to go ahead with a replacement, given that there was still enough time, and they offered to ship it with next-day timing.

    So a week goes by, and I contact their team, asking why the damaged unit hasn't been picked up. They give me the run-around. I talk with three different people at their office, who tell me that UPS will pick it up, "tomorrow", or "later today". Fast forward to the present, and I'm left hanging with a useless unit, and my project has already started in earnest. I don't know who's running this outfit, but they seem half asleep. Even when I talked with them on the phone, they sound like they just woke up from a nap. Since then, I've ordered another unit from a competitor, while the old one is still sitting in my garage. I'm sure the actual product was a good quality, but it is overshadowed by the unprofessional behavior of their company.

    We bought a 70 inch Color television from TigerDirect upon moving into our new home, we got the extended warranty on it and before the warranty ran out, the color board went wonky on it. Just streams of vibrant colors and no actual picture. We called the company and they said they moved and gave us a new number. That number said we had to go to the original store which had moved. We finally were able to contact someone that said "Email us pictures of the television set [back] model number and such". So we not only took about a half dozen pics of the back of the television we sent them a full shot of the front of television. They did receive the pictures to tell us we sent the wrong ones. We sent numerous calls back with no answer. We left numerous messages with no replies. All this was done during the time of the warranty and now that the warranty is up we are stuck with a very large over sized paper weight.

    I will never purchase another item from them again. We spent over 6 grand in that store for 2 televisions and some other computer items. I have talked to all my friends and they have decided to start shopping elsewhere for all their electronic needs. The customer service is pushy and rather rude. I was left feeling just because I'm a woman I didn't matter. I think they were stunned by the knowledge I posses in retail and felt intimidated. They focused solely on the man I was with at the time and basically ignored me. I'm beyond mad at this company.

    I have recently joined Consumer Affairs and am so relieved I now have an outlet to review business organizations and their practices. Plus, I can make others aware of these businesses and their practices. My degree is in business administration with an emphasis on marketing, so I know what I'm talking about. Sadly, in today's business world, I have had to adjust my customer service expectations to what I consider a very low standard, so I am not disappointed or frustrated and hope for the best. I'm sure you have noticed the trend for yourself.

    However, I am being consistently surprised many times when I try to do the simplest business transaction; I need to adjust my expectations even lower. The only one that can protect your personal honor, integrity and your money - is you. I try to be fair by giving a company/organization three chances. After that, I'm gone for good. Such is the case with TigerDirect (SYX). Like most companies of this historical caliber they worked very hard to gain an excellent reputation over the years, which they did. That's why they became one of the standards in the industry. Many in the industry still recommend them as the go to source.

    Unfortunately, that boat has sailed. Some time back, their service started declining and has continued a "death spiral" to the point, I'm gone. As I have learned, this issue in most cases can be laid right at the proverbial feet of ineffective, incompetent management. Without going into a long draw out explanation of the three separate events, I wanted to write this short critique to warn others, like me, to not spend your hard-earned money and hope for the best only to be frustrated and disappointed. Of course, the dilemma here is where do I go to get what I need? My advice in the case is give any other business a chance. At least for now, this one does not deserve another chance.

After I opened it I saw it was damaged and the screen was seriously cracked. I immediately called customer service. The laptop I ordered was no longer in stock and couldn't be reshipped. I asked if I could receive one of an equal or lesser value and return this one for a refund of the difference. She said no, I would have to return that one for a refund which could take up to 2 weeks to process and refund me. I asked to speak with a supervisor. After a very long wait she returned to the phone and stated that there were no supervisors working. She then told me that she would email me a blank email and send an email to have a supervisor to call me. The next day I had still not received an email or a phone call.

    I call back and was on the phone for over 30 minutes waiting to speak with a supervisor. Never got to speak with one. Eventually I had to get an email address to them because I never received any of theirs. I called last week to check on my return which was delivered on 9/23/16. They said I had to allow 3 to 5 business days for the return to be processed. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told again that there were none available. I finally asked where their call center was located and was told the Philippines. I asked if there was a number that I could call in the United States and was told no.

    Ordered an HP Folio refurb on 6-6-16. Shortly after the order was placed I got an order confirmation and saw the charge on my account. I had even paid for 2 day service since I was anxious about getting the machine. The following day, just short of 24 hours later, I logged into the account to check the status of the order expecting to see a tracking number. I saw that the order was on hold for some type of credit card verification. Confused since I hadn't received any notifications to this effect I assumed it was a delaying tactic to prevent the warehouse from having to fulfill the order as quickly as I had requested. So I called customer service and was told I'd need to talk to the CC processing department. I was done with it, so I requested to cancel the order. The lady on the phone seemed to understand and I thought I was done so we ended the call.

    An hour later I hadn't received any confirmation on the cancellation so I called back. They had no record of the cancellation and transferred me to the CC processing department very quickly. Before I knew it I was on the phone with that person and apparently gave them the information they needed. I asked about the shipping and the delay, requesting next day shipping to make up for it. The lady agreed.

    The following morning I get an alert from my bank. The charge had been sent through twice. That's a total of 900.00 charged to my account. I'm now on the phone and the first person is expecting me to wait 7-10 days for my account to be credited for the unauthorized charge. A barely understandable lady asked me to wait 24-48 hours for the charge to be reversed. Meanwhile my account is sitting at a dangerously low level. I had to fuss (a technical term) to get them to give me an "authorization code" to reverse the charge with my bank. The bank wouldn't accept any codes... so I'm stuck with hours wasted on the phone and no acceptable resolution.

    I've used Tiger Direct many times over the years, especially after Geeks.com shut their online store. Never had a problem. Last December I purchased a computer monitor and am very happy with it. BUT I had a very odd experience with my recent attempt to purchase a monitor for my daughter. Apparently, since Tiger Direct has been acquired by PCM (whoever that is) everyone is now considered a 'first time buyer'. So when you make an order online, they secure the authorization on your card and then you get an email stating you have to call their credit authorization dept (PCM, not Tiger Direct) and verify that you are you with them.

    THEN they call the bank your card is issued through to further verify your identity and then call you back before they finalize the purchase and ship. Now, if I could have clearly understood the rep I spoke with, then I might not be confused about what their new policy is. But she had a nasally tone combined with a heavy unfamiliar accent.

    The entire situation gave me a very bad feeling. I called my card company and explained the issue and they assured me that they would not share any account information with anyone, no matter who called. About an hour later, the PCM rep called me back as promised and said they hadn't been able to complete their verification. She actually asked me to do a conference call with her to my card company so I could authorize her to verify my information. I told her that this whole process made me very wary and not confident in their practices. I asked her to cancel the order and I would order what I needed from another company. Which I did. Found a better monitor on Amazon for less and the shipping is free with my Prime account.

    I had been purchasing from TigerDirect for about fifteen years without any major issues. For the last several years they have steadily declined in customer service regarding defective item return, not shipping items on time, letting issues and matters drop while promising to take care of them. In November, I had purchased about 7 or 8 items through their online store. Apparently two of the items went through a third party. I received the first 6 or 7 items OK. One of the received items had no tracking number. The other remaining item did not arrive.

    I called the customer service dept and explained that I did receive one item but not the other. They looked into it and was promised that it would be sent out. A week later, I was calling them again. They apologized and assured me that it would be taken care of and the product sent out. After about another two weeks, I once again called. Again yet another apology with another assurance that the problem will be fixed. Well guess what? Another two weeks went by and still nothing, not even a single piece of confirming email of the continuing problem.

    Finally I just said cancel the item from the order and return the difference to my credit card. They said that would be OK. About a week later, I see no credit to my account so give them a call. That was my final attempt. As the particular item in question was only about $6, I decided not to waste my time with them ever again. While I just lost $6 (not a big deal right?), I did decide that communicating this experience to others with a WARNING TO: STAY AWAY FROM TIGERDIRECT AT ALL COST. Today there are better places to order from. I myself have been buying electronics and other 'Geek' products from Micro Center with great results.

    On 2/4/16 I placed an order on the Tiger Direct Website for a Lenovo Ideapad 500 Notebook PC. I have dealt with Tiger Direct throughout the years and although I had a MAJOR problem with the order I placed last month I finally got my SAMSUNG Soundbar for +$200 below regular retail. Gambled and lost this time! I ordered this laptop for $439.99 (I saw on Best Buy for +$850). My card was charged. I went to check the status today and the website no longer worked. The Tiger Direct Staff told me that the warehouse was empty and the order didn't go through. Why would Tiger Direct advertise products that they don't even have? I disputed this because my card was charged. I called PCM (new company) and was told that they didn't have a record of the order. I called again and someone else told me that the warehouse has been empty for three weeks!!! If this company was the average person they would be locked up for fraud!!!

    As of 12/24/2015, Tiger Direct's policy is that all sales are final---no returns, refunds, or exchanges. I bought an HP V242h Monitor at a very good price from them, but it arrived DOA. Okay, it happens. Asked for an RMA to exchange it for a working monitor. Got an email giving their new policy and HP's phone number. If I send it to HP for warranty repair, I will get a refurbished unit from them. I paid for a NEW item from TD, not a refurbished one from HP! Who doesn't replace a defective item they have sold??? I will not deal with Tiger Direct until they change their return policy.

    I have used TigerDirect on many occasions. All of a sudden, as of December 25, they have changed their policies so no refunds period. Well, they tried to deny me a return on a product before this policy went into place. After arguing with them, they finally sent me a Return Authorization (RA). But, this didn't happen without a lot of work on my part and a lot of waiting time on the telephone. Then, a month after the return, I still don't have a refund. What is more, they claim they never received the return. I know they are not telling the truth. What used to be a good place to shop and great customer service is now horrible.

    I have purchased several items from Tiger Direct in the past and have received good service. It has been a while since my last order purchasing from Tiger Direct. I ordered a desktop computer, monitor and extra RAM on November 30, 2015. I received the three different items on three separate shipments on three different days during the first week of December. I was told by their Service Department that I received the desktop on December 4. I didn't open any of it as they were Christmas gifts for my daughter. They were all gift wrapped and opened on December 25. It was on this day that I tried to set it up, but it would not boot. Knowing it was a major holiday and therefore didn't call Tiger Direct, but called HP, as the desktop is an HP.

    The HP tech walked me through a series of steps to get the desktop to boot, but to no avail. He suggested that I need to call Tiger Direct and return the product. He also gave me a reference number to give to Tiger Direct. On December 26, Saturday, my family and I had to leave for a five day trip out of town and returned on Thursday evening on December 31. I called Tiger Direct on January 4, 2016, the first business day after I got home. I spent at least half an hour waiting for someone to speak to on the Tiger Direct phone line. After I told their rep what was wrong with the desktop and HP tech's recommendation and reference number, I was given another 800 number to call and ask for my computer to be replaced.

    When I called that number, I was shocked to find out that it was HP's tech support. I spent another hour and half so I could speak to a human. Someone finally came on, after three different transfers, to tell me that I need to call Tiger Direct. I called Tiger Direct, again, waiting for over half an hour to speak to someone. The bottom line is they told me that it has been more than 30 days since my purchase and I need to call HP. I am very frustrated, to say the least, as most businesses try to be very flexible when items are purchased as Christmas gifts, on return dates. I didn't find this with Tiger Direct. My computer is still NOT fixed!

    After almost two months of waiting for a decision from Tiger Direct I decided to contact them to find out if there was any problem for my credit. And what Jocelyn ** told me that this will going to take a while before I can received an answer, because they have to go thru the warehouse first and then they will give the credit and for that will going to be a while.

    The first time we ordered they cancelled the order. The second order did work but it came in with a power adapter that was DOA. When we called for a replacement, customer service flatly denied our request saying that they were just a re-seller and didn't have anymore of that product then tried to sell us a warranty. After playing the game for a while, he gave us the original suppliers phone number. I've been a customer for over ten years and after this, - we won't be purchasing from TigerDirect again.

    I placed an order for an Xbox One on Thursday November 26th during the early bird black Friday sales. I got a phone call on Sunday November 29th stating I needed to confirm my billing information but they were closed and would have to call Monday morning the 30th, which I did. My order was finalized and shipped to me. I received the Xbox One around the 9th and kept it hidden in the shipping package as it was a gift for my son for Christmas. I gift wrapped it in the shipping box and gave it to my son for Christmas morning. When he opened the box and started to unpack the Xbox One, it was damaged in the left hand corner and also did not work when we set it up. The HDMI output was damaged.

    I tried calling Tiger Direct immediately and was told via automated system they were closed until their next business day due to being Christmas. I could not reach anyone until Monday December 28th when I was told by the rep that I was 2 days past their return policy and they could not help me. I explained that I called immediately but they were closed for those days for the holiday. He said it was still past the 2 days and I was given the number for Microsoft and was told I'd have to take it out with them. Nowhere on their website, my emails, paperwork or on the product page description was it noted that I had 30 days from the original purchase date to contact them. I was left with a damaged and non working item. I have sent the Xbox One to Microsoft for repairs which will take 2-4 weeks. I have never had to deal with such a horrible company before.

    OK, I'll keep it short as I can. I ordered my TV on Black Friday (11/27). It arrived two weeks late (12/19) at 6 pm after making a delivery appointment for 3 pm. The Delivery was made by a man and his wife in a minivan with their dog. On the delivery slip, I marked the package damaged, as the bottom of the box was flattened. I open the box and plug the TV in to find there is a huge crack going up the middle of the TV. I go to Tiger Direct to find that I could not return since I ordered more than 14 days before. I call on the next business day, Monday (12/21), anyway and they arrange for a return. I wait for a week, no email, nothing.

    I call back today (12/28) and they say they can't accept the return because they never received a call from me on the 21st, even though I have the call on my call logs and am calling my phone carrier to get the proof sent. I come to check the Internet to see this company has a long history of sending damaged merchandise and not refunding or exchanging anything ever. Now that they have my number logged, I'm waiting 1-2 hours for any customer service agent to pick up. So in the meantime, I'm posting this on every consumer report site I can find.

    This company is hideous. I'd been looking for help. My sister purchase a computer for Christmas for several months from Newegg.com and the PC's we found would sell out before we could buy them. It was very frustrating. On Cyber Monday, I was scouring the web looking for a great deal and found a computer I loved, but by the time I confirmed it, it was gone. While sadly touring the web some more, I found the same PC at Tiger Direct for a better price, in stock. I was elated! I didn't hesitate, I purchased the PC right now and revelled in all my glory.

    I was told the PC was slated to arrive by December 11th. I was skeptical about getting it on the 11th when a week or so later I got a call saying they needed to confirm our purchase information before they could release the shipment. All they confirmed was the address it was being shipped to and said everything was good and they'd send it out right away.

    A week later I got an email notification that my item had been cancelled and my funds returned to me because the item was no longer in stock. Yes, 2 weeks after I made my purchase, and a week after they confirmed my information and my product, and completely after I had any options to secure a different PC on Cyber Monday for the same kind of deal. I contacted them, furious, and asked that they at least honor the deal I had made my purchase under. That was also a week ago. Today, I got a short 2 sentence email that stated my money would be returned to my card and there is nothing to will do to sell me a comparable PC at the price.

    This company has completely ruined this Christmas present and made it impossible for me to resolve the issue before Christmas and at a reasonable price. I may have to "act fast" to make a purchase happen with newegg.com, but at least they actually send you what you pay thousands of dollars for. Tiger Direct is single handed the worst company to make any of the sorts of major purchases they provide access to. They are completely unreliable and unapologetic. I will never do business with them again, and will make sure that no one I know does either.

    The worst experience I have had with a store, cannot believe they are in business. It's a long story so here is the short version. Purchased a TV Nov 30th (Cyber Monday) on their website. They said it would ship in 3-5 biz days. Does not ship and I call on Dec 15th. Side Note: Any time you call customer service be prepared to spend AT LEAST 45 mins on hold. Customer service tells me the TV is on back order and will not ship until around the 18th. Call again on the 23rd and I am now informed that my TV still has not shipped, and furthermore, my order has been cancelled. They then try to talk me into an "equivalent" product that would only cost me $150 dollars more, how kind of them. So I guess no TV for Christmas. Shove it Tiger Direct, in the age of social media and instant communication you will not last long... Hopefully your greedy corporate owners go down with their unethical business.

    TIGER DIRECT CANADA Inc. DBA, TigerDirect.ca Divison of Systemax.com. FRAUDULENT ONLINE VENDOR. I would like to advise the general public interested in online business transactions with Tiger Direct Canada Inc operating as TigerDirect.ca to be very cautious. Please do your research. A good start is to visit **.

    My latest experience with this online vendor starting last month (Nov 2015) resulted in a fraudulent transaction. Living outside of Ontario, it will be exceptionally difficult to take the necessary legal action required to engage this corporation in a lawsuit (but I fully intend to take action) should you experience a similar misrepresented fraudulent transaction. The main purpose of what I will be doing is to expose how Tiger Direct Canada operates, aside from other public consumer advocate information including the examples of unresolved cases that are available at: **.

    To explain the scam that happened to myself, it is broken into several parts. I made an online transaction Nov 27th, 2015 to purchase an in-stock graphics card for my son for Christmas. Without notifying me, TigerDirect.ca actually used a 3rd party vendor sale and just never delivered on the sale. I was billed Dec 1st and as per their policy, the item shipped and I was billed at the same time for approx $150.00. TigerDirect.ca provided me with a tracking number from UPS.

    Some time goes by and I still have not received the product that I ordered and paid for. I drop a call to the customer service department and was assured everything was ok. On Dec 13th I receive a letter stating that the unit was sent out over 10 days ago and that I should have received it by now. I make a few more calls, wait another week, write a few emails on their resolution platform and no one can answer the question of if/when I will be getting my purchase. When I look at the UPS tracking information, it shows delivered and signed for in another country. I was assured on several different dates that delivery would occur and then the time would come and go. Dec 22nd and 25 days after delivery, I get a call back from the Richmond Hill office after I contact my credit card company and open a case. TigerDirect.ca advised that I will now be receiving the unit by Dec 30th. Unfortunately that is not ok.

    So what are the resources I have? (1) I'm making a public forum to discuss fraudulent cases associated with this vendor and publishing this letter. Should you have a similar experience please contact me **. (2) Raising yet another consumer complaint with the BBB: ** (3) Contacting media (GoPublic through CBC): **. (4) Taken action through the credit card company to refund the fraudulent transaction (case created). (5) Travelling to Ontario registering and ** serving a small claims court case against the registered executive(s). (6) Filing a case of Online Fraud Theft with the RCMP. (7) Pursuing other potential fraud victims (or Tiger Direct clients) and business affiliates, vendors, suppliers & creditors, with information on this case. Do your homework folks. This vendor may be winding up operations and just plain ripping consumers off or just lost interest in fair dealings with trusting consumers. Caveat venditor.

When I send a email telling them that I live in Canada and they may have made a mistake on the shipping address, they told me that I was supposed to have the package in hands. I tried to email and phone them several times since then. No answer by email and the phone customer service is not working for days.

I'm aware that is a Third Party/Drop Shipped item and that it will not be billed until the order ships. But more than 3 weeks!? This has made me miss out on so many opportunities to buy that same item from many other retailers at tremendously reduced "Black Friday" special prices!!! Now I've lost all those deals! I contacted Tiger Direct customer service twice. This is what I got as a "resolution"(!): "the item is no longer in stock, so cancel the order and order another item!!!"

    I am sorry? The item WAS in stock at the time of the order AND even a few days later when I checked back. It's easy to say for them, but they refused to honor their own price for a comparable item. I think this order has been very poorly mishandled. Moreover, it is unprofessional and unfair to "lock in" a customer on an item and prevent them from buying at other competitors during sales events. As a customer, you will agree that I cannot order 2-3 of the same items from different retailers just in case one decides that it cannot fill it!! I lost the price difference on the item, 60 minutes on hold to talk to customer service and got hung up on me!!! If I were you, I would stay clear of this company.

    On Sunday, December 20, 2015, at around 12:30pm, I went to the Tiger Direct Store in Jefferson, GA, with my 13-year-old son and his friend to purchase 3 laptops, and planned to spend up to $1,500. I had questions about anti-virus protection for the systems, so the sales rep who was helping me called Brandon ** from the in-store tech services, over to answer my questions. However, to all of my questions about anti-virus protection on the laptops, Brandon would shrug and give a variation of “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure they can do it” as a response. At no point did he say, “Let me see if we can do that” and actually try to find out what could or couldn’t be done.

    The whole exchange was very frustrating so I said, “You are not inspiring confidence in my purchase.” Brandon responded, “I am not doing it for this **!” and walked away. He said that in front of me and the two children. I brought my complaint to the store manager, who seemed unconcerned about Brandon’s behavior and said, “All I can do is send him home for the day.” I left the store without making the purchase.

    I'm here to write this out of pure disbelief that a company so large and that has been in business for as long as they have can mess up a simple order so horribly wrong. My first complaint and where my nightmare all started was over what could have been a very simple fix. A small problem with the website's coding caused a product to change and go up in value once you hit the checkout button. I brought this to the attention of customer service in hopes to still be able to purchase the product, but the company told me I was just doing something wrong. How do you click on the checkout button wrong?

    A few days go by so I check again just for fun. Guess what, the product remains at its original price now! I decided against my better judgement, made a purchase wanted for my product. The estimated shipment arrival date came and went with no email or notification from the company so I sent an email myself trying to track down the product. After 7 emails back and forth with the customer service people, it was finally made known to me that the product I ordered was in fact back ordered and probably would never be made for sale again!

    It should be mentioned that at the time I placed my order the website said ''IN STOCK'' as well as ''will ship within 2-3 days''. It should also be mentioned that every email I received from the customer service was from a different person. How would any issue get resolved when it is a new problem with a new person? Why would you not have any follow up on a problem? I am not currently trying to get my money returned which seems to be the largest nightmare so far. I urge everybody to stay away from this company.

    Order a CPU and motherboard bundle from this "establishment" almost a month ago now. First, they call me on the phone in the middle of work to confirm that I wanted the order. I went through the process of paying them already... I think it should be obvious that I want the order... Right? Guess not. Anyways. After confirming, they sent me 2 tracking numbers which both ended up in their warehouse in Georgia in the US. I live in Canada. After waiting for a couple weeks. The items had arrived at the warehouse for a while but still no sign of the items getting to me. After calling twice and waiting for their customer service about half an hour each time, I got my CPU to get "escalated". I finally got it last Friday. Never got a tracking number for it though, it just fell out of the blue.

    No signs of the motherboard still. I called them yesterday again and now it seems like I got that "escalated" too. Hopefully I'll get my motherboard next week... Or at least a tracking number for it. Anything would help at this point. Funny, I bought a bunch of other computer parts from Newegg after ordering from Tiger Direct and guess what? I got every single item delivered to me within a week. I wasn't called to confirm my order, I didn't have to call to customer service.

    As the other reviews state, buyer beware. I bought a TV from them on Black Friday. Waited 3 weeks to receive it. Called them numerous times, as the shipping information stated it was in my town, had been there for 2 weeks before the local shipper brought to my house. First phone call, over an hour on hold before a representative. The first person told me he spoke with the shipper and I would have it the next day. Next day came and went, called again, asked can I pick it up. Said they would process that, and I would hear from them the next day. Never heard from them, finally heard from the shipper that they would deliver it the next day. That's today.

    Wife received as I was at work, box was not damaged so she signed for it. Got home, LED screen has to be shattered. Called them again tonight, and after an hour and a half, finally got a representative. Told me 1-3 days to hear from the shipper before it would be arranged for pickup, then when they have back in their warehouse I would receive a refund. So now I have to wait another 3 weeks to get my money for a product that was broken? Shame on you, Tiger Direct. You closed your stores, now I think it's time to close the rest of your business.

Once I was assisted, I was told everything was processed and that my item would be shipping out that day. Well fast-forward 6 days and I notice that the charge was cancelled on PayPal. So I spend an hour and a half on hold to be told that they oversold the item and none were available, so they cancelled my charge. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I sat on hold another 20 minutes, before they just went ahead and hung up on me! So I find the corporate office's number and call them, only to be told that there is nothing comparable to what was ordered and that they were sorry! Now I am scrambling at the last minute to find something for my son! Worst service ever!!!

    In all honesty Tiger Direct does have some amazing deals. However when you have to wait three days for them to contact their third party shippers to find out where your items are, it is annoying. I waited three days to hear nothing back from Tiger Direct. I called a second time to find out that not only had my item not shipped but it would take another three days to find out when the item would even be available. When I read in stock I expect the item to actually be in stock with Tiger Direct. Nowhere on the website did it say it would be shipped through somebody else.

    Called TD last week, told me she'll email me a return shipping label within 24 to 48 hours. It's now a week since then. I've been trying to contact them again for the past 3 days, but the hold time is insane. It's either I give up after 45 minutes or so of waiting, or the call gets dropped automatically from their end after about an hour of being on hold. I'll never buy from TD again. Note to TD CSRs - If you don't like your job or don't want to do it right, please quit your job. Customers don't deserve to suffer because of you.

    Never purchase from the bait and switch kings. I ordered a TV set on Black Friday due to good prices and was never notified after paying until I called to see where my order was. THEY CANCELLED IT because they didn't have it. I went on their website immediately to see if they had it in stock and they do. When I called they asked if I wanted to upgrade for 700.00 more that is almost double what I paid for the set originally. The charge is still on my VISA who I have contacted and had to file a complaint with. I will never purchase from TigerDirect again. Buyer beware... this is one of the worst run businesses around. Customer service lacked even more. El tried to help, then Will in sales tried to upsell me, finally, Brandon (the manager) told me "Sorry dude... can't do anything for you. Good luck." Complete joke of a business. Don't buy from Tigerdirect.com!!!

    Avoid if you want to get your orders on time, they use UPS (That speaks for itself) and they also use drop shippers in Georgia. Item was shipped from California, is currently in northern Illinois. Instead of shipping this to my house directly from Northern Illinois (7 hours), they are going to ship it to Jefferson, GA and then back up north to my house (upwards of 20 hours). Avoid these guys, don't let the good prices fool you. I ordered a graphics card on Newegg and received it the next day... and I ordered it on cyber Monday as well.

    Ordered an SSD on 11-22-15, a Sunday, and had expected it within the 9 days max of econ shipping. Come 11-30-15 I chatted with customer service since the order still had not shipped. Mervin whom I encountered again at the time mentioned putting in a ticket and I would be notified by email 1-2 business days later on the status of my order. Come today, Friday December 4th, I still had not received any status update and contacted CS again. Mervin responds and the fault is immediately thrown on their drop shipper failing to account for inventory and provide status updates.

    The status was of the order was changed to "back-ordered" on the 1st which I then attempted to contact TD and for the next few days the chat was "unavailable" which much to my chagrin was due to session/cookies of the browser. Trying out chrome I was able to get in queue with chat but at a far smaller view-able window which I more or less copied and pasted on to a text editor to read. Continuing with my chat with Mervin again I merely wanted an explanation on why my order had zero updates and he responded: "We do not send status reports if the order is updated on the order status on our customers end."

    Which I retorted a chat transcript where he mentioned I would receive an email on the status. He responds it was, "the update that was promised to you was not fulfilled due to the fact that the ticket that was opened for you was not update by our drop shipper." I knew my order was cancelled on the 1st when the funds were returned to my debit card but I wasn't sure whether it was truly cancelled or not due to experience of others. Worst yet I had been putting off using my new laptop in hopes to replace it with the newly purchased SSD but the shipping didn't make progress and now I am in the waits of ordering another one. Hard to not be annoyed when the initial order was put in "In Stock and Ready to Ship" didn't mean what words should mean.

    I even contemplated ordering another one several hours later seeing they still had such label still up. Lastly, this is my last dealing with TD simply just to avoid California's tax. I can generally ignore if I don't get status updates as long as I get the product but Mervin confirmed "The order is canceled and you will not be receiving the product." With immediate ending of the conversation by Mervin with the removal of sending a transcript to my email after then that definitely takes the cake.

    So here's one crappy experience. On 11/25/15 I ordered a PNY 256GB SDXC flash card that showed that it was in stock. Later it showed when I tracked my order that it was sent to the drop shipper, which is the manufacturer PNY over in New Jersey. I have ordered these cards before and it takes probably 3-4 days for the drop shipper to ship the item and provide a UPS tracking. Well it is now 12/04/15 and my order is still not shipped, so I'm like WTF is taking this long for it to ship. I still have to wait for UPS to deliver the item which is about 1 week on UPS ground.

    I tried chatting with TigerDirect and asking what was taking this long, they of course have no idea why the delay and no clue when it will ship out. So they say they will ask the drop shipper for a time frame and provide me info back in 1-2 days. Well those days have passed and still has not shipped and no email provided with any info. So now I am stuck with TigerDirect which doesn't have a clue when my item will ship. Very frustrating experience to say the least.

    I have been trying to build a new desktop computer for my sister as a Christmas present for the last few weeks. I have ordered the majority of the "bigger" PC components during Black Friday sales to save a few bucks here and there. However, the processor I have been looking for, the Intel Core i7 6700k (4GHz) has been out of stock at most other online retailers (Amazon, Newegg, NCIX, etc.). I have been using NowInStock.net to keep an eye on all the "big" retailers to see when they will have this part in stock. On December 3, 2015, the processor became available (in stock) on TigerDirect - early in the morning. I ordered this IMMEDIATELY (8 AM EST) when I saw that they had this item "in stock." I watched my order throughout the day at work and saw that it was "being processed" by TigerDirect's warehouse. I was also keeping an eye on their website to see if they were still "in stock" of this processor throughout the day.

    I noticed around the 3 PM (EST) hour, that the website changed their status of the part to "out of stock". I checked the order status of my purchase immediately after seeing it out of stock and saw that my order was still being processed, but they accepted and authorized my credit card for the purchase. Around 7 PM that night, I checked the status of my purchase and saw that the status changed from "Status: Processing in Warehouse" to "Status: All Backordered." I was hoping this wouldn't happen as I believe I ordered this item off their site fairly quickly when they changed the status to in stock. However, after reading many of the reviews here on Consumer Affairs, I saw that this issue is fairly common (go figure).

    Here comes the fun part... I contacted TigerDirect on three different phones, all simultaneously. I had an hour and a half wait before anyone picked up. It was a bit awkward for me, because two customer support people answered at the same time. I hung up the third line and tried to work some magic and talk to them at the same. Both of them said the same thing, "This item is out of stock, but do not worry..... We can replace this with something comparable to it." They obviously do not know that nothing compares to this new chip, as it is fairly new and is the best 6th gen. CPU out at the moment. I asked to speak to a supervisor on both lines, and had to wait another fair bit of time to speak to them.

    Again, both supervisors answered their phones at the same time (weird). I asked one to wait (which he did for a minute, and then put me back on the phone with the previous customer support specialist) while I explained the issue to the other supervisor. The first supervisor was very rude, did not treat me like a customer, and kept asking me if "ARE YOU WILLING TO WAIT?" I guess he does not understand the frustration on the customers' end when a product is falsely advertised as "in stock," but end up placing an order for a backordered item that they never had in the first place. After yelling back and forth with the first supervisor, he finally hung up on me (haha). I then spoke to the customer support specialist who was trying to get my attention (as I was talking on a different phone), and asked her to transfer me back over to the other supervisor.

    I didn't feel like having the same argument with him about the issue, so I let him know that TigerDirect has lost me as a customer and that they should really look up their reviews online. I made it clear to him that TigerDirect will not last much longer if it continues to run the current way that it is. He brought up that this issue I had has been a repeating issue for TigerDirect. He appreciated my feedback, and I appreciated that he listened and will hopefully push to make changes that are causing consistent issues for this company.

    In the end, I hope all you Tech-people out there recommend a different website to order PCs, PC components, or anything else TigerDirect sells. TigerDirect may have better prices than Amazon and Newegg at times, but the hassle of dealing with the common issues and trying to resolve them with their customer support is not worth it. READ THE REVIEWS PEOPLE. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!

    I should have read these reviews before ordering from this company. I saw a DIY computer kit (all the pieces included but the customer assembles) that I wanted, but I was hoping to order a few upgrades and made an email inquiry. A day later I got a reply and attempted to order the items in my cart, but it said the system was now out of stock. I found a system that was slower and more expensive, but I thought I could live with it since the other was gone.

    The next day I got an email stating TD needed credit card verification before the order could be shipped. Meanwhile, the system I originally wanted popped up in another TD email as part of their black friday deals. Since my order was on hold and not shipped, I decided to cancel it and get the system I wanted. I waited 45 mins. on hold only to get disconnected before I could speak to a customer service rep. I called again. After 55 minutes I got a CSR. I explained the situation and asked that he cancel the computer order but keep the two monitors I had ordered. He advised he either had to cancel everything or nothing at all, so I had him cancel the entire order. I got a cancellation notice in my email as verification, so I went to order the system I really wanted --- now it was sold out. I shopped, but TD seemed to have the best deals.

    I found yet another system that seemed acceptable and placed the order (this occurred 3 days after the original order was cancelled). I also ordered monitors from Best Buy on black friday deals. The very next day packages began arriving. If you guessed that I was getting all of the cancelled items based on the other reviews here, you would be correct. To make it more interesting the monitors came too, so now I have six monitors sitting in my living room (I was shooting for a triple display gaming setup) and boxes of computer parts that I don't want. Last night I made my fourth phone call to try and return these items. Each time I've spent about one hour (some actually more than an hour) waiting to speak to a csr who can barely communicate with me. They never get it right.

    Last night I told them to get me return shipping labels or I was disputing the charge with Visa. They finally managed to send labels for five out of the six items, but alas they still managed to bungle it and miss one. While I have ton of items I don't want, only two of the items I ordered the second time have arrived after eight days of waiting. I can't wait until this is over, and heaven help me if I have any issues with this thing because I can already see there isn't a chance in the world I'll get any service.

    I ordered a PC bundle, and realized it was the wrong one. I called an HOUR later and was assured by the service rep that the order was canceled. A week later I got a motherboard and hard drive from them (part of the bundle). I called back and was told that the order "had not been canceled because it ships from a third party warehouse", and that "they had already shipped it." I explained that the service rep that I spoke to the day I canceled told me that the order had been canceled and that I would receive a cancellation notice in my email, but that I got neither that, or a notice in my account at Tiger Direct telling me that the order was canceled.

    This second service rep assured me that they would send me a return voucher for the items that they sent in error, and that he would confirm that the complete order was canceled. In the meantime, I contacted my bank to tell them not to accept any transactions from Tiger Direct, just in case they decide - for whatever reason - not to cancel the order and continue to send me product. I am distressed that even though I was assured that order was canceled, it was in fact NEVER canceled. I received NO communication from them in an email or otherwise telling me that there was a problem.

    I placed an order for components for a PC two weeks ago paid for overnight shipping and everything that showed in Stock was put into a backordered status after 3 days, and about 9 hours on the phone someone over at Tiger Direct figured out the items were not backordered and actually just sitting in the warehouse. The resolution was to cancel the order and reorder because they could not just give me what I paid for and what they had my money for. They had to make me suffer the ridiculousness that is Tiger Directs business. So after reordering everything that was automatically put in backorder status by some idiots at Tiger Direct my second order just never shipped.

    I spent the next 4 days calling everyday. I've calculated about 10 hours on the phone with them and still no products. Now mind you this purchase was an emergency purchase for an employee so everyday I did not have my $1300 in computer parts I'm losing money and my time I'm losing dealing with these morons. Well let's fast forward. It's been two weeks now and the order is once again in backorder yet it is not backordered. There is this endless loop over there at Tiger Direct that gives people strokes.

    Now I'm back on the phone trying to just cancel everything and get my money back and on average I have to wait an hour before a person answers. I will never do business with these people again. I would advise anyone I can to stay far away from Tiger Direct. Never have I felt so hopeless and angry with a company in my life. I am a calm non violent person and this company has angered me to the point of breaking things in my office.

    If you want computer hardware that you pay for to actually show up and a company that doesn't send you to the hospital for a stroke or high blood pressure avoid Tiger Direct at all costs. My losses alone are at $2850 because of this not counting my loss of my employee who cannot work without this system for 2 weeks which is roughly another $2000. Oh and let's not forget the $1400 Tiger Direct has removed from my account without providing me with any products or service.

    Tiger Direct has got to work on how they manage their business, or you guys are going to be looking for a new job in the next couple of years. I placed an order Friday with 2-day shipping, which your site guarantees will go out the same day. Sunday, I email to inquire why my order hasn't shipped yet. She informs me that my item is on backorder, and unavailable, even though there was no mention of inventory issues when I ordered, and my Order Status page says "Status: In the Warehouse".

    Tiger Direct should not be telling their customers that they have a product when they do not. But, I know that it was busy being Black Friday, and maybe your ordering systems and your inventory systems aren't perfectly linked up in real time. That's fine. Stuff happens. In that case, you all should be contacting customers to let them know that you can't ship them their products because you literally don't have them. You should be asking them if they want to proceed or cancel. You should be offering full refunds on shipping in these cases. Even a robo-call or a form letter email would suffice. But, no nothing, like I'm just going to forget I ordered something with expedited shipping. So I went through the trouble of finding email support on your webpage.

    I email back to ask how to cancel. She never emails back. This was around noon yesterday. Maybe she was working a half day and went home right after emailing me the first time. Again, benefit of the doubt. I know the world doesn't revolve around me. Fine. This morning, Monday, I call the customer service line at 800-800-8300. I wait on hold for 20 minutes and 34 seconds. Finally, I get a hold of a CSR. I ask a perfectly simple request. Cancel my order that hasn't shipped out yet. I can't wait around for some indeterminate number of weeks for a product I needed early this week.

    After about 8 minutes, he proceeds to put me on hold again for the next 22 MINUTES to figure out how to cancel my order. Finally, he comes back and says he can't do it personally, but he can send it the "cancellation department" and they will take care of it in the next 24-48 hours. Really? What year is this? I'm really disappointed. This is my first time ordering through Tiger Direct and it is looking like it is going to be my last. Prices are good, but saving $20 here and there isn't worth the indeterminate wait nor the hassle.

    In contrast, I placed an order a very similar product on Amazon.com yesterday (Sunday). It was already in the mail at 1:17 AM today. And, I know it'll get here, and I won't have to deal with any hassle. I should have just ordered through them in the first place. At this point, I'm sure you can understand why my trust in your company has been broken. I will be keeping a close eye on my credit card statements, and will not hesitate to use the consumer protection measures afforded to me. Thank you for your time.

Finally after sending another email that the missing money they had charged for laptop disposal I will receive another $1.15.

But now with the 5 little screws it's being sold for $241.99 and its listed as being in stock. Do you really think 5 little screws are worth $18.40 each? The question I have is am I being ripped because someone made a mistake offering this for $149.99 and did they add the screws just to have an excuse not to sell this at that price? My advice is to not purchase anything from this company as they are not someone who works in the best interest of the customer but only are interested in their bottom line.

I took the day off work on the 11th to be sure I was home for the delivery. I received an email the TV was being now drop shipped from another vendor but being shipped UPS. It never arrived.

The shipper was in fact not UPS but was AIT and was coming on the slow boat from the west coast to Chicago. Tiger did refund me the two day shipping cost. I finally get a call from the shipper wanting to deliver the tv on the 18th. They tell me they will be at my residence between 9 and 1.

    During that time I receive more calls from AIT wanting to schedule my delivery - why I don't know as it's supposedly already out for delivery. Of course 1 pm rolls around and no delivery. The shipper wanted a couple more hours. The shipper has the nerve to get loud with me when I tell them that it is not ok to wait for a couple more hours as I have to go to work for an afternoon meeting. While admittedly Tiger did refund me the two day shipping cost, I have wasted two work days waiting for this shipment to arrive which has cost me more in lost salary than the TV is worth.

    If you're reading this review because you're on the fence as to whether or not you should order from them... Do yourself a VERY big favor and look elsewhere. Even if you have to pay a little extra... it'll be worth it. I placed a $1,400 order with them that has turned into a nightmare. If you run into an issue, and there's a good chance you will, the customer support is absolutely horrible. Expect 15-20 minutes just to get an incompetent person on the phone (and yes they outsource their call center). If you get disconnected on hold (which you will) - expect to wait another 15-20 minutes to speak with someone.

    You think you can speak with a supervisor? Hahaha, yeah right. They'll do everything in their power to keep you from speaking with one - since NONE are ever readily available. You might think that a supervisor is located in the US - nope... Still in the same outsourced call center. However they'll tell you that they're located in Florida. I wish I saw the negative reviews on this site before ordering from them. In case you're wondering what happened and why I'm so pissed off, here's the issue (which isn't fully resolved yet):

    I placed an order November 4th for a $1,400 monitor. Tiger Direct was the only one who had it in stock. They sent me a tracking # later that day. I checked the # the following day, only to find that Tiger Direct requested a "Return to Sender". I call support and after an hour of them putting me on hold to check into the issue... They tell me the item wasn't in stock and that they're refunding me. I find another company and order the same item. I check my CC a couple days later... And still no refund. To make things more confusing, last Thursday the tracking # showed that the package was being re-routed to me. Expected delivery is Monday (11/9/15).

    I check the tracking on Sunday and it shows that Tiger requested return to sender (again) - and that it would be delivered to their location on Monday. I call them up today (spent over an hour on hold - after them disconnecting me twice). The rep tells me that they had the product drop shipped to their Florida warehouse - from a third party. They tell me that the package is being re shipped today to head out to my location. I ask to speak to a supervisor and after waiting on hold for 20 minutes... I'm disconnected.

    Meanwhile I cancel the order with the other company since they didn't ship the order yet - or charge my card. I call back Tiger... Spend 20 minutes on hold until someone finally answers and I ask to speak to the same person (I provide them their employee ID) - they put me on hold for 5 minutes then it connects to their voicemail. I call back, wait on hold for 17 minutes... The person that answers asks me to tell them everything all over again (once I ask to speak to a supervisor), they go to connect me and after 5 minutes the line disconnects.

    I call back AGAIN... Wait 22 minutes on hold... Finally speak to someone - she promises to connect me to a supervisor. After waiting on hold for about 15 minutes, I speak to a supervisor. He puts me on hold for 5 minutes to check into the issue and apparently the order was damaged while in-transit and he stated that they are NOT shipping a product out to me - that the other rep was misinformed - and that I will be refunded. However, he would like to compensate me for my time (over 4 hours I believe) - and offers me a $20 gift card towards my next Tiger Direct purchase. They are by far the worst company I've ever done business with.

    I am very dissatisfied with the shipping process at Tiger Direct. Items never show up or show up late. I have made the mistake of buying Inner Circle and getting free shipping for the year. It was a waste of $80 because two months in I just decided to save myself the hassle and go with another reliable merchant. Tiger Direct is just not reliable when it comes to shipping out items. If you really need something to be shipped on time I would recommend going with more reliable merchant. Also because the items never shipped, I now have to recheck all the invoices and the credit card charges. Their prices are good sometimes but shipping hassle is certainly not worth it.

    I'm extremely concerned about the fraudulent nature of the experience I had trying to purchase a tv from TigerDirect. When I saw a Google PPC ad for an impossibly good deal at TD. Almost a week later, days after my card was charged and past the original estimated arrival date, my status remained as 'Reg Order Process - Credit Card Verification Done. Your order is in process at our warehouse.'. When I contact live chat support, they said I needed to call. When I called they told me my card needed to still be verified (I used the whole Visa verification thing during check out already). If this was a problem the whole time, my order status was obviously incorrect and I also never received an email or call regarding the matter.

    Once I finally verified my card over the phone, the order status immediately changed to 'All Backordered - These items are currently on backorder, and will ship as soon as we receive stock on them'. At this point, the call center representative on the phone tried to substitute this item with a more expensive item and offered a $15 discount card for my trouble and he refused to let me speak to a supervisor. I bailed on the call when he tried to send me to sales. Making matters worse, they're still holding the funds from my original purchase in float and I still don't see my order marked as canceled, the representative who had to cancel my order for me assured me it was.

    I bought an item that cost $1299.00. I went through various credit card authorization procedures then finally, my order was accepted and my credit card was accepted. The next day I get an email from a **, claiming to be a representative of Tiger Direct and that my order was on hold. I called the phone number listed in the email and I spoke to a female who was condescending, arrogant and rude. It was never explained to me why my purchase was held up. I assumed they needed additional confirmation that it was I in fact who placed the order. They never asked me a single question, they just kept placing me on hold.

    I informed them that I paid for two-day shipping and would this delay in processing hold up my order? They asked if I wanted to speak to Customer Service and I said yes. I was placed on hold once again for about two minutes then was disconnected. I called the number that was on my confirmation purchase order from the previous day and spoke with an Arran with Tiger Direct Customer Service.

    I explained what I just went through with the previous person and told him I lost confidence with the company and wanted to cancel my order. He said that my order was already approved. I told him he wasn't listening and again said I wanted to cancel my order. He still wasn't hearing me so I told him once I wanted to speak to a manager. I was placed on hold for another two minutes then spoke with a David **. I told him I was dissatisfied with the arrogance, rude and condescending behavior that I got from everyone at Tiger Direct and cancelled my order. I'm done with this company permanently.

    About a month ago I ordered a HP printer and ink from TigerDirect, INC. UPS driver did not deliver the whole shipment. I live in a highrise in downtown Houston, Texas. The delivery procedure is all packages are taken inside the building and logged in at the front desk. It's been like that for the past 15 years I've been there. The UPS driver logged in 1/2 of the delivery, the ink, as he was supposed to but then he said he left the printer by the front door. This could not have happened that way. All packages are always brought into the lobby and logged in there. Packages are never left outside of the apartment building. NEVER!!!

    I talked to UPS and they told me to contact TigerDirect. I've talked to TigerDirect 3 times and the results are always the same. They are checking into the problem and someone will be in touch with me by email and/or phone. No one ever calls and I've not received any emails. UPS dropped the ball with the delivery and TigerDirect is refusing to help me. All I have is ink but no printer. BEWARE stay away from TigerDirect and watch UPS driver who rip off customers. My next stop is the BBB. Maybe I'll get some help there.

    My husband ordered a cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) on Walmart.com from TigerDirect on September 19, 2015. The phone arrived in the mail about four days after the order was placed but my husband soon found out that he could not connect the cell phone with his existing mobile company even though the cell phone was unlocked. My husband put the phone back in its original package and asked me to call TigerDirect to process a return and refund for the product since we could not do anything with the phone. I went on the TigerDirect web and found out there is a 30 day return policy, and I made sure I acted quickly to have the order return processed.

    On Friday September 25, 2015, I called TigerDirect and after waiting on hold to speak to a representative for 45 minutes, I finally spoke to a representative who supposedly processed the return. She told me I would receive an email within 3-5 business days with a return order number, and that I had to put the order number on the original box and send it back to TigerDirect. Today is Monday October 5, 2015, and I still have not received an email from TigerDirect. I decided to call TigerDirect again because I do not want the 30 day period to run out and then be told I cannot return the item. This time around I only had to hold for about 10 minutes but the representative that was supposed to to help me was NO HELP AT ALL!

    First of all, I could barely understand the man. He had a very strong accent and seemed like he had NO clue what he was doing. I gave him the order number a total of four times and he continued to claim he could not locate the original order in the system. I asked him how it was possible to not locate the order in the system when on September 25th I had called TigerDirect and another representative did find the order and supposedly processed a return. Then I asked the man if there was another way to look up the order in the system such as by using the full name, telephone number, or even address. He then asked me for my order number AGAIN, and still could not find anything.

    At this point I was very frustrated. I had already been on the phone with him for about 25 minutes and nothing had gotten done. I asked him if there was any other possible way to have a return processed, and he says, "You will receive an email with the return order number within 3-5 business days." I got a little louder with him at this point and I asked him "How is it possible that I will receive an email if you are telling me you CANNOT find the original order in the system???" He then says to me, "I understand your frustration but you will receive an email." I wanted to curse him out at this point but instead I took a deep breath and just hung up the phone on him without saying anything else. It seemed like he was not understanding the issue at all despite me having explained that I wanted to process a return and giving him the original order number 5 times.

    As a last resort (we do not want to have to be stuck with the cell phone since it did cost $700.00) I decided to go online to the TigerDirect website and chat with a representative. I thought reading text on a chat screen should be easier than trying to understand someone with a heavy accent who does not know what in the world he is doing. After spending a whole 45 minutes chatting with a representative from TigerDirect, I am still being told to wait another 1-2 business days for an "update on this". This chat representative seemed like he had no clue what he was doing either because he told me to give him a few minutes because he was "working on it" like 6 times during the entire chat.

    So, now I have to wait 1-2 business days for an "update", and just like the first time I contacted TigerDirect on September 25th, I probably will not receive ANY email or call in 1-2 business days. I truly believe the company is trying to stall me until the 30-day period goes by so they can tell me that I can no longer return the item. I will be keeping a copy of the chat conversation I had with the representative, and just keeping notes of the times I have contacted TigerDirect, and what I have been told. Bottom line: The customer service at TigerDirect is awful, probably the WORST I have experienced as a customer, and do not expect to get anything processed or done when you call or chat with a representative!

    We purchased a TV thru Tiger. Kept in the box while we renovated the room it was to go in. Opened the box and the TV was broken. Not "not working" but physically broken. The frame of the tv was bent upwards and the screen was shattered. The box was in pristine shape, so the TV had to have been packed that way. Called Tiger - was referred to manufacturer since it had been over 30 days. Manufacturer was NO HELP citing their warranty that excluded TV's broken by "Acts of Nature". WHAT? It was broken in the box, not struck by lightning. So, we called Tiger. Same experience as everyone else. Nobody answered the phone. I finally went on online help. Got someone who insisted we could not return the tv since it was over 30 days.

    Finally, when I asked where the attorney general could send a letter to regarding our experience, we were miraculously given a return authorization. We returned the TV. Two weeks later, I sent email asking about our refund. Got response two days later, return was processed and refund would be made to original purchase method. What a surprise when we got a replacement tv sent to the house, and no refund. So, now we have sent back the second TV with return authorization. Two weeks now, and we are still waiting for our refund. BEYOND FRUSTRATING. I will never buy from Tiger again. Ever. After more than 10 years of being a Tiger customer, this family is DONE.

    As others have stated, I ordered the I7-6700K in a combo deal because they stated in stock, ordered 2 day delivery. Some items arrived at 8 days, the motherboard part of the bundle arrived at 7 days, the CPU at day 10, I received an email that it was back ordered. But they continue to advertise the item in stock. This is false advertising and criminal. They can lie and blame the initial order as a 3rd party misleading or whatever, But they are aware the item is not in stock by themselves or their "Drop Shipper" But continue to advertise as in stock. My bundle is now listed as out of stock but I believe may be due to people I have contacted, But they continue to advertise motherboard i7-6700K bundles in stock that is not true. I do not understand how this is not a crime and why someone is not in jail.

    Do not order from this company, don't make a mistake like I did and go past past experience in 2010. Look around read reviews and see this is their common practice today! Now sitting on 3000 dollars of computer hardware unable to use or test to ensure they are in working order. When I ordered from Tiger Direct I had other options to order from but due to past experience with Tiger Direct I trusted them, Yeah I know I'm an idiot! Oh and I still have no idea when product may arrive. And when you talk to customer service they often tell you it's due to ship next day when they have no idea.

Upon contacting Tiger Direct, I got no decent explanation except to contact Dell and they would help to restore it. Dell informed me that the only thing that I could do is a clean install and stated that they would send me a CD to do this with another call back to Tiger Direct. No apology, no explanations other than to send it back. Let me say this, each phone call took about 30 minutes to speak with someone. People, like myself, with a very busy life do not have time for this kind of business. So with this being said, I WILL NEVER SHOP TIGER DIRECT AGAIN.

    I ordered something on 9/3 for overnight delivery, and paid $21 for shipping. It didn't arrive on the 4th, then it didn't arrive on the 5th. The next two days were a Sunday and Holiday, so I didn't get it then either. TigerDirect sent me an email update on the 3rd to let me know it had shipped. So believing that, I was not happy with UPS, who was shipping it. However, UPS told me that it wasn't made available to them for pickup until the 4th. So TigerDirect intentionally lead me to believe that it had been shipped on the 3rd but it wasn't. That is now an extra 4 days I have without my PC working, waiting on the parts.

    When I called to ask for my overnight delivery charge back, the agent actually said NO - HE CAN'T DO THAT. WHAT??? I had to talk to his supervisor and waste another 20 minutes on the phone until he finally agreed to refund my money. The only reason they have 2 stars instead of 1 is that they finally agreed to refund me. Stay away from TigerDirect.

    I purchased an ASUS Notebook with a detachable dock recently. Soon afterwards, I began to experience power-related issues with the tablet. I sent the device to the manufacturer for repair, as required. The device was returned, but still does not hold a charge. I contacted Tiger Direct, seeking consideration for an exchange. They informed me that their exchange and replacement policy is good for 15-30 days. I informed them that I spent more than $400 for the defective device. As a customer, they should make every effort to satisfy me. I was told there was nothing they could do.

    DISAPPOINTMENT is the best way that I can describe my recent dealings with Tiger Direct. Take my advice from what I have gone through.

    I have never ordered from Tiger Direct before, and never will again. I am trying to complete a build for my son for his birthday. I'm trying to purchase an Intel i7 6700k, which is an extremely difficult item to get ahold of at this very moment. Well, I go on Tiger Direct and see they have some in stock. I immediately jump on it and pay for next day shipping so it would be here in time. I think nothing of it at the time. I know some places it takes a while to process orders. After a day it showed that it was at their drop shipper and ready to ship. Great right? No, after two days of waiting I finally call to see what the matter is. The product was already late but I wasn't upset just yet.

    I call them to find out the item is backordered and they don't know when they will get more. I ask to cancel my order and they said "We can't because it is already at our third party supplier warehouse." What? So you're telling me that not only did you misrepresent that the item was in stock, but now you're telling me I can't cancel my order? And to put the cherry on top, they have no idea when they will get more! I now have a $414 charge in limbo until they cancel. The kicker? They sent a "request" to cancel the order.

    I had ordered a barebones PC kit that was expensive. A day later I checked the website and they said one price and were trying to charge me almost a $100 more. I had to call them and they acted like they were doing me a favor by fixing it. I asked them to cancel a part of my order and I had to talk to the supervisor.

When I asked him I intend to return it anyway, he told me, "I had to pay for return shipping but he can't process it until it's shipped out." Absolutely no help at all and were extremely rude.

    Worst of all, they claim 2-6 day shipping which is a LIE!!! More than half of my order still isn't shipped and when I contact them about it they sent out an auto-reply that stated, "Thank you for your inquiry. Please note that, our main distribution center is undergoing some system upgrades. Due to this, some customer orders are encountering a delay. The product is in stock and we have committed additional resources to help in catching up to get every order filled." Half my rebates are expiring and they can't be filed until I receive the items and the website doesn't mention anything about this, they don't state if an item is backlogged, they say it's in stock and it will take you forever to receive your order. I wouldn't be surprised if they lied about that as well. DON'T BUY FROM THIS SITE!!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!

    I have been a loyal TigerDirect customer for close to 10 years. I have easily spent over $100,000 with them throughout this time for my business. This past year they've undergone some changes and it has not bode well for the company. My most recent (and last) order with them was not completed for 39 days. THIRTY NINE DAYS to ship me all the parts on a mere $500 order. As it was explained to me, TigerDirect made the decision to close down a number of warehouses around the country and consolidate them all into one warehouse in Florida. Of course this had an immediate impact on shipping costs. Instead of having a warehouse 200 miles away from me, they were now 2,000 miles away, but I digress... I could deal with it if they could at least process orders in a timely manner. Judging by other reviews this no longer seems to be within their abilities.

    But even the extreme shipping time wasn't all. I would randomly receive one part, and when I would inquire on the status of the next I was told my credit card had been declined. The very same credit card they'd shipped out previous parts on just days prior. This happened 3 times, and each time I would have to call in and get it straightened out. At 38 days, and still missing a component, I told them to just cancel it. I had gone and purchased what I needed from a retail outlet. All of a sudden on the 39th day, the part showed up.

    I can forgive hiccups here and there, but this was the last straw. Their "new" B2B site (business to business) is a disaster. It's slow, disorganized, and frequently displays exorbitant and inaccurate pricing and/or shipping quotes. That's been ongoing for the past year which forced me to make an untold number of calls to my rep, wasting my time and his. My rep forwarded me multiple email conversations pertaining to my orders with his upper management and it was glaringly apparent they simply don't care. I sent them a very stern letter expressing my extreme dismay as a longtime customer and received absolutely no response. They have lost my business for good. It really is a shame, they used to be a fantastic company.

    My customer service experience with TigerDirect is the WORST I've ever experienced. I was told three times that my duplicate order had been cancelled but it still has not happened as of yet. But trying to speak with a representative is a total nightmare of experience. Every single time I've called, I had to wait at least nearly 1 HOUR before a representative even would answer the phone. One rep hung up on me after I had been on hold for 57 MINUTES. Then, I called back today, which led to a 50-MINUTE-HOLD, just a rep to finally come on the line and say, "I am going to put you on a brief two-minute hold."

    He NEVER came back to the line. I held for 15 minutes before he disconnected the call! This company offers HORRENDOUS customer service. And I will make sure to spread the word about it all over social media. Save yourself some unnecessary stress and just don't shop on this website. A DUPLICATE order was placed without me even hitting submit!

    I held on the phone for nearly 25 minutes on the first call I placed on 8-6-15 (to 800-888-6111) for a rep to get on the phone. She said they have a new computer system so she could not see that she had canceled the duplicate order but she had canceled it. Then she gives me phone number 1-888-999-8800 to call to confirm she had canceled the DUPLICATE order, which I never placed, between 8:00 AM - 9 PM. I spoke with another female rep (I took down names, phone extensions and times of these reps) who said the first rep did not cancel the duplicate order. So now, I have wasted nearly 1 hour of my time while trying to get dressed for work!

    On day two (8-11-15) is when I was on hold for 57 minutes just to finally get a rep on the phone who hung up the phone on me! On day three (8-12-15), I went through the same nightmare of an experience which entailed me holding the phone for 50 minutes before a rep actually came on the line. Just a ridiculously HORRIBLE customer service experience!

    So I sent an e-mail to the online customer support, explaining that my billing address and delivery address were reversed but I could not find a way to edit this information. I received an email stating my order had been canceled because they could not verify my billing address. I was told this statement TWICE via e-mail (the second time I had written that I had received the WORST customer service ever!).

    Now, I have duplicate charges in the amount of $205.76 for the order which has shipped, and for the order which I have been told four times has been canceled.

    And the reason I have the duplicate order is due to a glitch occurring on TigerDirect's website. You cannot find a cancel order button on the website; you cannot modify your billing and shipping information unless you actually are placing an order. And the president or owner of TigerDirect clearly does not care about the company's reputation or the numerous complaints would not be present on this website!

I could have and will buy from Amazon next time so when they say it will be here in 2 days or 6 days it will be here.

    This company is a complete circus. You will not get to them on the phone. You will not get any emails. You will definitely not get a refund. I happened to be very lucky and order an office chair through these pinheads and turns out it came from an ENTIRELY different company in the United States of America. Tiger Direct was nothing but a middleman vendor for an actual legit business who supplied the office chairs. Turns out it was GLOBAL INDUSTRIAL who were the ones who actually shipped me the chair, not Tiger Direct (lol). Global Industrial also happens to be a large seller of office supplies and industrial equipment. The chair I got is absolutely fantastic but I would purchase it through anyone BUT Tiger Direct.

    So why am I giving them 3 stars if I actually got my product all within a week with no problems? The reason being is I did want to cancel my order because I started reading all these reviews AFTER I made the purchase and I was quite worried that I was never gonna get the chair in one piece. Thankfully though I did get lucky and I am rating these clowns lower because I can just tell they are full of corruption and fraud and should NOT be in business.

    I got one email back after 2 weeks of sending it out and the guy responded in a way that was NOT at all helpful. He was literally blaming ME, the customer, for his problems. What kind of bull is that? I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE OVERWHELMED AND CAN'T KEEP UP, AT LEAST HELP ME IF YOU TOOK TIME TO WRITE me a email. I mean seriously, what a joke. And don't even get me started on phone calls (lmao). I sat on the phone for 3 hours and I know for sure they would never have answered it.

    Anyway, I live in Canada, and in the end of the day folks, if you live in North America do NOT buy from these clowns. You will lose your a$$! I can almost guarantee it. I was considering refusing the package but I'm almost 100% positive they wouldn't have given me a refund. This company is a disgrace and simply should not exist as they are not even legitimate as independent seller of products they offer. AVOID AT ALL POSSIBLE COSTS. I'm satisfied I got the product, but I am not satisfied that I know how bad this company is on the inside.

    I ordered a laptop computer along with Microsoft 10 office and McAfee anti-virus software. The software was sold at an attractive discount. Two items arrived about one week after I placed the order but the Microsoft office did not arrive. Over two weeks I telephoned Tiger Direct over ten times trying to find out what became of the Microsoft. I did not open the other two items because they were of less value to me without the Microsoft office. I also emailed about a dozen times. I got no response. After two weeks I decided to pull the plug, so I called my credit card company and asked them to cancel the charges. Then I sought to locate an address where I could return the items. Again no luck. No one answered the telephone number I was given.

    I received the Microsoft office roughly three weeks late. I simply decided to return the three items unopened. This was the worst online customer service I had ever experienced. Finally, I reached a customer service clerk at Tiger Direct. She informed me they can not accept the software - that I would have to call the McAfee and Microsoft to find out if they would accept the returns. But then I pointed out to her that I purchased the items from Tiger Direct. I informed her that I would call the software companies but had instructed my credit card company to cancel the three items. Tiger Direct is an awful company.

    Ordered 1 laptop listed as brand new through Walmart. When it arrives it is refurbished, so I call Tiger Direct and they say, "Sorry, ok, pay for another one, we will send you another one." I pay for a new one, while I have to wait to get my money back, and it arrives again refurbished. I call customer service and the rep tells me they do not disclose if a laptop is refurbished... another customer rep tells me in an email that in fact that info is disclosed so I call them and ask them "Where on the page, walk me through it and show me where..." Well it is mentioned nowhere. I wish I had that much sense to just google Tiger Direct reviews before ordering!

    I ordered a computer and their site said it was in stock, and will ship immediately. After placing my order I find out 5 days later it was on back order! Not actually in stock as advertised, and they could not even confirm when it would be in and ship to me. The worst part is I passed on tax-free weekend in GA to buy a new computer, since I went with this one which was on sale and advertised as in stock at Tigerdirect.com. No longer can I purchase a computer tax free until next year (maybe). Very disappointed in Tiger Direct's false advertising.

    So let's start with I'm in the military, so ever so often I have to move... it's part of the job. So while on the road I ordered a laptop, gpu, and a couple of other items to be shipped to my new address. Since my change of address hadn't been processed by my bank yet, I had a different shipping address from my billing address. TigerDirect asked me several verification questions to process my order; that's fine since it was going somewhere else. So the payment went through and I arrive at my new home, and I wait. I tried tracking the order and received some garbage message about inputting the wrong zip. Mind you, I'm clicking on the link they've provided. So I tried calling them and gave up after waiting on hold for over an hour.

    Finally today I saw an email stating that the order was put on hold and to call their verification department. Really??? I thought I already verified my identity when I answered the questions at the end of the order. So I called and waited, and after ONLY ten minutes, which sadly seems to be record breaking for them, I talked to one of their reps who was quickly asking me questions and placing me on hold before I could ask my own. After 35 minutes of this, she stated that she was going to call the credit card company to verify my new address; I responded with the question, "what does it matter? You've accepted my money, who cares where I want MY goods shipped to or to whom?" She responded with "I'll call you back in 5-10 minutes" and hung up.

    After 45 more minutes she called back, and asked me for a copy of my ID and some mail with my name and new address on it. I told her "I literally just moved in." As I type this the movers are unpacking my belongings. She then said that a copy of my lease would do. A copy of my lease? ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Since when is that a vendor's business? And last time I checked, once you purchase something, isn't it yours? I mean, since I paid for it and the shipping, if I want it shipped to a homeless guy named Bob living under a bridge, isn't that my choice? As long as I give them a location that can be found it's none of their business beyond providing the service I ALREADY PAID FOR as they advertised. I told her I refused to give over my lease and if they were going to continue to withhold the merchandise that was by all rights mine then I wanted my money back. She said that I would receive a refund. Well we'll see if that happens.

    I have ordered a barebone kit. However, due to an error, two pieces have not been shipped (status cancelled when it is not true, I did not call to cancel). I have called many times, never had a response. I have written then, the agent (Antonio **) told me they won't be shipped. They did not respect their own policies. I have requested to speak to a manager. My emails have been transferred to a manager (Alexander **). He tried to call me once, but I was driving... After we discussed with him by emails, since he was never taking my phone call.

    Finally, I have tried once again the support... After 30 minutes, someone talked to me and it is kind of resolved, even if I lost a mail rebate due to their service. I have also lost the possibility to return the pieces to them if they don't work (seriously, I have bought a bundle, so I can test all pieces together). So if you buy from Tiger Direct, just hope everything will be fine. For me, it was really a bad experience, a waste of time (it probably took me 10 hours to call, wait, write emails), and stress.

The woman got snippy with me when I expressed my concern. The laptop did not arrive on Thursday, when it was needed. Came a day later, and was completely blank - no software/operating system on it. Since it was a holiday weekend, I had to wait until Monday to call customer service.

I called the customer service number, again no luck. Had to go to chat and Mervin confirmed it was received, refund would be 3-5 business days. Two weeks later, no refund.

    My experience with Tiger Direct has to be the worst experience I've ever had with a company. It was so bad I'm not sure where to start. I placed my order on line at noon on a Monday. I got home that night and had a message on my home phone that I needed to call them to "verify" I had placed this order. I even used PayPal but apparently that was not good enough.

    I called back and was on hold for over an hour before I gave up. I called the next day, waited on hold for another 30 minutes before my call was answered. The person claimed it was for my protection. He promised it would ship that day. It did not. It shipped the following day. I got a tracking number in an e-mail which I checked the day it was supposed to be delivered. It showed it was delivered the previous day in Georgia.

    I live in California so obviously they have made a mistake. I tried to call the day I discovered this problem and once again was on hold for 72 minutes before I gave up. I tried again the next day and waited 25 minutes before someone answered. I was told that the product shipped to Georgia because of California tax laws. They then ship it from Georgia to me in California in order to tax the item. What? Why did they send me an e-mail with some internal tracking number?

    Because that's their system I was told. Doesn't this create a lot of confusion with their customers? I was told it does but only people in California. It might explain the long wait times on the phone. It sat in Georgia for 3 days before they got around to shipping to me (you see they have hundreds of packages to ship out, so I'm told, so it's not reasonable for me to expect anything sooner). Here's the best part. Where did it originally ship from to Georgia? From California 20 minutes from my house. Yep. You heard that right. Again it's due to some tax thing that they did not fully explain. I will never ever buy from these folks again obviously. How do they stay in business?

    I order a product on 7/5/15, but there was a problem at the bank to allow large transaction to complete, so when I completed the task at the bank, I got a confirmation email from TigerDirect.com that my order has been placed. So I waited and waited, but no updates on the delivery. I went back to my bank account and noted that that transaction was completely removed, so I started thinking that's probably why my product wasn't shipped. So I proceeded to order the same product since the bank provided me a two week lead way to make large transaction.

    I placed the order again. The order showed in my TigerDirect account. Got an email that my product was ready to be shipped by UPS. Checked my bank account -- no transaction until fours later after they prepared my order for UPS. Now 3 1/2 weeks later, my product still hasn't been delivered. I contacted UPS. They were useless. Contacted TigerDirect Customer Service. They basically offer no chance of getting anything resolved, besides "Cancel the order and try again." My recommendation to anyone thinking about using TigerDirect -- don't bother, unless you have thousands of dollars to leave floating around in TigerDirect's accounting system and never knowing if you will ever get your product delivered in a timely manner, or at least to what they advertise on the website.

Microsoft has confirmed to us that if the Windows 7 Product ID key is valid, which it is, it is eligible for the upgrade. They even gave us a link for the manual KB update to download and install and instructions to remove any previous download of that update. The update would still NOT install, which means the different companies Tiger uses have been instructed to use code to block this particular update. Hmm...

    On June 17th I placed a large order with TigerDirect: 4 computer, 4 monitors, network devices, network color laser printer... the whole ball of wax. I was going to upgrade a local Insurance company in 11 days. All of the items I ordered showed "In Stock" when they were purchased. But the order, being a large order, went to the credit card authorization department where it sat for three days without so much as a phone call, until I called them. After 5 phone calls, hold times ranging from 30 minutes to over an hour, I got so frustrated I asked to cancel the order, but Raymond in the CCA dept assured me that the order was going right out immediately. Well it didn't.

    After jerking me around so long and three days later, 6 of the 10 items had switched to a "Backordered" Status. I called back and held on the phone for AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES before speaking to Will. I asked him for a status on the backordered items. He gave me a long song and dance about some possible unopened pallets that "might" have some of those PCs on them. HEY TIGER, I have a network to upgrade in 6 days now. This is proverbial straw. Asked him to cancel the whole order and credit my credit card - I was taking my business elsewhere.

    I signed up on Newegg as a new customer and ordered the EXACT SAME products. Saved $350 and got free shipping on most of the items. I tried to stay with you Tiger, but it's gotten way too difficult to do business with you. I should not end up with higher blood pressure after conducting a purchase from you. I was impressed with how much easier it was to navigate Newegg's website. And my order was processed immediately and sent out the very next morning. Total blood pressure change: 0%.

    Two days later (today) I check the TigerDirect order and see that two items just shipped. Only one of the items got cancelled. Well, big surprise, this is the kind of speedy and efficient performance I have come to expect from Tiger as of late. I call back in, suffer the same long hold times. They tell me I have to refuse the items at the other end, then WAIT on my refunds from them. Of course. Now I have to wait for my refund, be here when UPS shows up, then wait some more for Tiger to process my refund. Why am I still dealing with this? They had a total of 5 days to get the shipment stopped and they didn't do it. My blood pressure is rising again... I'm not looking forward to the plethora of calls and hour long hold times it's going to take to get through this with Tiger and get the $4000.00 credited back to my credit card.

    Tiger used to be a good efficient, easy to deal with company. I've purchased from them for nearly two decades. Lately though, they've undergone same changes. Rude people, difficult and slow process, inefficient processing of orders, long hold times to speak to an agent, no proactive calls from the company when there is a problem that might delay an order... on and on. It's sad to say goodbye to them but it's necessary.

The colors match the Tiger Direct theme of blue/yellow so I called and the number thinking it might be legit since it's a static ad on the company website I thought I trusted. The person took my basic information and started to tell me things that were too good to be true. As the person asked for my CC info I decided to do a google search. Immediately SCAM was plastered over google and I hung up. I contacted Tiger Direct support to inquire why they have a ad for a scam intentionally on their website. The Rep told me they are no longer affiliated with Great Fun. You can say you are not affiliated but as long as you promote that link you are.

    I was told I would receive a e-mail about the issue and upon waiting a week I contacted live support and restated what I said and inquired about the e-mail. I was told once again in different words they are not affiliated using some flawed logic that by saying you aren't affiliated but then promoting it. Told them I will no longer purchase anything from there and ended the talk with the rep. On a side note, I ordered 2 laptops, 1st one processed immediately and the 2nd my friend made a error with my card info for his. So we needed to call support for CC verification and had to wait till the next morning.

Should be the easiest thing! And they obviously should accept their own reward cards...

    So when I tried to pay, first that reward card and the rest on my credit card: No no no. You have to call us. So I did, but after a very long 'on hold', I finally hung up. Not 5 minutes. This was getting close to half an hour! Are these guys really trying to sell something? So I tried the online chat. Like in other reviews (that I read later), after a few minutes you get thrown out. These guys were good. Right now, it's going downhill. FAST. If you don't have the people to help you buy things, you lose market share. Selling things completely automatic is the easy way to run a shop. You also have to be able to handle the customers when it's not that easy! They lost me. Not buying there again.

    I purchased two graphics cards on June 25th that were Refurbished. Another person placed an order for the same graphics card about an hour AFTERWARD. Theirs was shipped. Mine was placed on Backorder. I ordered several parts afterward, because I purchased these. Now I will have to return every one of them.

    I ordered a 32" LED Element Flat Screen TV on 6/8/2015 and it is now 6/26/2015 and it has not even been shipped to me yet. I have called customer support four (4) times and the shortest time I was online to talk to a customer service rep was 27 minutes and the longest time was 48 minutes. I even on my last call said I wanted to talk to a Supervisor but they would not do that because the customer service rep claimed the supervisor was on the phone with someone else. My TV was suppose to be shipped by a third party (drop shipped) but Tiger Direct never gave me a reason why this did not happen until my last phone call and they then told me that it was out of stock even though they promised me 3 other times they would have an answer for me the first time.

    After I did some online research (Google) I discover that Tiger Direct is closing 31 of their 34 stores and fired a majority of their employees, not I know why such lousy service and will never do any more business with them. They recently told me they would offer me a comparable TV and would email me immediately on what they had to offer but that never happened either.

    I ordered 9 items for a gaming build almost a month ago. I am in Canada and they were all dropped shipped from all over the world. I have received only 2 so far and have actually been lied to by customer service. All items were listed as "in stock" at time of purchase. I called and asked that my money be refunded, because when I tracked them they were being shipped to their drop-shipping warehouse and not to my home. It would be many weeks before they would actually get to me. They said they would freeze the order and refund me. THEY LIED TO ME. Here I am almost a month later opening PayPal disputes just to get my money back, and two more items were shipped to my home after they told me the shipment was frozen. Avoid this company like the plague! They will lie, cheat, and do whatever they have to just to make a buck.

    I have been a Tiger Direct customer since 2009. Ordered an SSD on 6/20 using 2-day ShopRunner shipping. There was no indication on product page that there would be a delay in the order. I have tried to call them 3 times. Once on hold for 34 minutes, once 10-15 minutes and right now on hold for 12 minutes and counting. Called their Florida store for help, they said they'd get a manager and put me on hold for 10-20 minutes and I had to give up. It has been 4 days without any emails. I have filed a complaint with ShopRunner and also will try to contact my credit card company today to stop payment on this. Will likely never buy anything from them as there is no way to contact or communicate with them. Buyer beware!

    I ordered an item costing over $300. Found out I didn't need it. Called them the next morning and cancelled the order and was told I would receive a confirmation email. Instead I received an email saying the item had shipped. Replied and informed them the transaction was cancelled. They told me to just refuse shipment and they would refund my CC as soon as they got it back. UPS delivered the package the next day and I refused delivery. That was June 3rd. Today is the 22nd and they say that a package that only took one day to get to me has still not got back to them. This company is a lying rip-off outfit. Do not ever do any business with them.

    STAY AWAY!!! I am 3-4 weeks into my order that was supposed to be delivered in 7-10 days and no one can tell me when it will ship or where it will ship to... yes, that's right. In addition to NOT receiving a purchase receipt for my online order, and not receiving my order on time, when I received an email apology from TigerDirect about my order being late the only purchase information included with their apology was my shipping and billing address... both the same, which is NOT the case, and of course the wrong address for the CC to process.

    So, 45 minutes on hold to find out no one knows which address is which. In fact, they also had the purchase date wrong and still cannot tell me "anything" about the status of my order. Ridiculous for a company that has been around this long. If I did my job like they do their job - I WOULDN'T HAVE A JOB! 1.5 hours on the phone and nothing accomplished as they could not change the billing address for me? WTF TD? NEVER AGAIN will I purchase from this company. LAME... I guess I will just wait until you get your ** together to get my much needed order delivered.

    Updated on June 24, 2015: I just received another email from TigerDirect today stating Order Confirmation... WRONG ADDRESS AGAIN!!! And, now I am waiting yet again, on hold to straighten out more ignorance than I can tolerate. For my troubles they have "promised" to refund my shipping ($12.00 and change) (that covers about the 1st 10-15 minutes of my time dealing with your incompetence) and most recently they will send a $25 gift certificate out. That will never be used, maybe I can gift it to someone I hate!!! NOTE THAT THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY, NO, HANDS DOWN THE WORST SALES EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER WITNESSED -EVERRRRRRRRRR! I have made purchases from companies that inventory out of their own garage with better service than this company. Incredible to think they might have a leader with more than a 6th grade education. Oh, wait I think someone is going to take my call. I'm sure there will be more later.

    Have a customer order a barebones kit from tiger website, said it was in stock. Had him print it then he ordered it. It had taken a little over a month for him to receive the kits in parts. 2 things were wrong on the order, 1 bad processor had an open package and bent pins on the processor 2. The 650w pws was no good, didn't have a power 4 pin plug for the motherboard on it. Been trying now for a month to contact tiger with no chance to get this problem fixed. Customer is now starting legal suit against them with the pictures and has the other techs from 2 shops to back him up in court. Hope tiger likes to be losing a lot. I won't ever send another person to them ever again!

    I ordered my computer on 06/10. Here it is 06/21. If you're not going to ship my computer let me know. I need this computer for work. No one in Tiger Direct seems to care anymore. This isn't the first time I bought a computer from your company. But this is the first time that I had such a problem with getting answers to my questions. I have no idea what happened to the company. But remember there are other places your customers can buy a good computer, for the same price or better. People shop with companies that they could trust. Right now after trying for days to find out if you will ship item my trust is going down the drain.

    No one can answer my questions. So far all I get is that "I will send an email to the warehouse". Well 11 days after ordering that didn't help the situation. What I need is someone to get off their ass and see when my computer will ship. I need to speak to someone who cares about the customer. When you call the corporate office you can't get to talk to anyone either. When you call customer service you're hold for more than an hour. All I need to know now is if you're going to ship my item. If not let me know.

    I ordered a Lenovo laptop online with Tiger Direct. When I submitted the order, I realized my shipping address was my previous address. I immediately searched the site for my profile to update my address. I couldn't find anything for assistance with updating my address. I then called the 800 number, which put me on hold pending an available representative. After 20 minutes holding, I hung up. I called back the next day and was on and off hold for one hour while the representative had to confirm she could update my address. Over the course of multiple holds, I had to confirm my address several times. No wonder this company cannot keep its stores open!

    I ordered a laptop from Tiger Direct last week. When I went to my account to check the status, there was a note that the order was on hold until I called them, so I immediately called the number provided. I spent over an hour on hold, until I had to give up and leave for work. Monday I called again, and was on hold for another 2 hours and 10 minutes with no answer. While I waited, I went onto the site and sent them an email, which got an auto-response stating they were experiencing shipping delays due to system upgrades (which had absolutely NO relevance to my stated concerns). I next attempted to contact them through Live Chat, and got "there are no representative currently online" with an option to leave a message. I then went back and sent another email, choosing a different subject line. Next, I got on Twitter and tweeted them a couple of times with no response.

    I finally gave up on customer service, and tried calling the separate number they provide for order cancellations (at 2pm on Monday). The system gave me the message about high call volumes, told me to go to the website, and then, when I didn't hang up, it told me to call between 7am and 9pm Monday through Friday and hung up on me.

    I finally received a call from them at 4:25pm (I don't know if it was because of the email, the Live Chat message, or simply because they hadn't heard from me yet). I (relatively calmly) explained that I was unable to do my job until I received the computer, and was assured that my order would be expedited so I wouldn't lose my job. At this point, I have no hope that I will have a computer this week, and strongly suspect that I will be forced to purchase ANOTHER computer from someone else simply to be able to do my job and support my family (it is totally impossible to work from a smartphone, which is currently the only internet access I have).
