    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 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).

    Hello and I ordered a Seagate 2TB Barracuda Internal Desktop Hard Drive 3.5" on June 3, 2015. I assumed it would be shipped within 1 or 2 days but it was not. I kept checking and all it would say is processing. On June 9th I called and cancelled the order then on June 12th they sent the order anyway and charged my bank account. I called them (and you will be put on hold for at least 45 min), and asked why they shipped the order anyway and the customer service person said the cancellation order was sent to the warehouse but they didn't have time to stop the order from being shipped. I found that hard to believe. She also said if I called UPS and told them I would not accept the order UPS would return it to TigerDirect which wasn't true either. I will never buy anything from TigerDirect again! And the BBB to report this problem.

    "We are having issues with one of our warehouse" or "Your item has been back-ordered" or "We are trying to authenticate your payment." This is what they will tell you for weeks until you get frustrated and cancel your order. Save yourself the trouble. Buy from any other website. In my case, it's been two weeks since I ordered a $$$ laptop from them. My order status has changed back and forth from "back-ordered" to "processing" several times. The website, like most reviewers point out, still says the item is available. Two weeks since my next day delivery order, I am yet to even know when it will ship out. In these days of expedited guaranteed shipping, do not order from Tiger Direct if you actually want your item.

    Placed a order for Asus Tablet Combo pack on May 16, 2015. There were four items in this combo pack. One was shipped and received within 7 days. One was listed and backordered and finally shipped on 6/8/2015 scheduled to arrive on 6/15/2015, one day shy of one month. Tried calling TigerDirect on 6/8/2015 several times. Was placed on hold then calls were dumped within 30 seconds. Sent a email on 6/8/2015 and it has yet to be responded to. Attempted two calls on 6/9/2015 same scenario as before.

    Finally called the sales line number and after a 25 minute hold was able to talk to a customer service representative. She was able to tell me that the other two items were on backorder but was unable to give a reason why I hadn't received a backorder notice or why the invoice didn't list the items as on backorder. She was able to tell me one item (the tablet) is scheduled to arrive this week and would be shipped expedited shipping. The other item there was no idea when it would arrive. This is probably the third time I have purchased from TigerDirect. I know they are usually show compared to other online services but this is really unacceptable. This will be the last time I do business with them.

    About 5ish years ago I bought a set of computer parts to build my own desktop. The motherboard I received was defective (wouldn't recognize more than 2gb of RAM) and I didn't realize it until after a month so the company would not replace it or anything. Fast forward to three weeks ago and I buy a desktop once more (pre-assembled). It's shipped to me with the power source and hard drive disconnected from the motherboard, a screw missing from the back port on the VGA input, and one or more items (likely screws) left inside the case. After a huge headache getting everything plugged in properly, the computer works fine for two weeks. Then, when I move the computer from one side of my desk to the other, all of a sudden it no longer works. I believe the metal screws rattling around the inside of the case shorted something out (probably the motherboard).

    I initially was going to send it in for a replacement to the manufacturer, but then decided to just return it for a refund. I work full time, and was in a huge rush to get it to UPS before they close, so I forgot to include the power cable (valued at about $4). Unfortunately for me, I cannot ship the cable separately, and am now to be charged a 15% restocking fee because of the missing cable. That means this cable is now worth $80. I will never purchase anything from Tiger Direct again. Every time I buy something there is a defective item and/or something is shipped in less than perfect condition which leads to the item becoming defective within a very short period of time. Be wary of this company. I personally will never buy their stuff again. This has been a huge headache for me and their return policies are completely outrageous.

    Tiger Direct just happened to have a discount on a new TV I'm looking to buy. So my wife placed the order for me, and of course, using her name. She's bought things from a lot of different websites and never had a problem. So I didn't give it much thought when I asked her to place the order for me. Turned out you can't just buy from them. The address have to be listed on the public records, and YOU have to OWN that place. If not, you have to be able to prove to them that the person lives here with documents. You have to provide them a copy of the buyer's ID card and a utility bill with the address and the buyer's name on it.

    First of all, this never happens with ANY other site. I mean would you trust a random site with your sensitive information? Also it's impossible for me to provide, because all utilities are in my name, not hers. I paid, they got the money, but they won't ship the TV. I tried to offer to use letters that was sent to me in the same address but they refused. I asked them to change the buyer's name to me instead, and again they refused. I asked if I can change the shipment address to another location that I own, and again they refused. I asked what can I do then, and the guy suggested cancelling the order and replacing it.

    Ok, I'll just cancel and NOT reorder, thank you. I don't trust them with my info, so... order cancelled. Funny, I was just telling my wife of a recent scam where a random seller asks for your ID's copy to "verify" your identity, and pretty soon, you'll have a few accounts opened in your name with negative balances, and the collection department after you. I don't know why Tiger Direct feel the need for this level of validation, but it's way too much trouble.

    Plus the hours of frustration on the phone asking a powerless Customer Service Rep what you can do, days and days of delay... uh.... The feeling that you are dealing with someone who is completely useless and just want all of your sensitive information in order for them to do a simple task: send buyer the order they paid for. It's just too much for me. Bye TD, nice to never had done business with you! And NEVER see you again!

    Tiger Direct had a deal on a wireless USB adapter. The deal would allow for one per household to receive a $20 rebate which would cover most of the cost. I ordered the piece online but failed to notice that PayPal had my previous address stored as the first possible shipping option for me. Once I received the order confirmation email I noticed this mistake and contacted them immediately, literally a minute or so after placing the order. The person I was eventually able to talk to said he couldn't see my order yet so call back in about 5-10 minutes. I did and after waiting on hold for another 5-10 minutes eventually got another person. The guy was helpful but said he couldn't just cancel the order cause it was already being filled! Filling my order that quickly would be awesome normally but in this case I just needed to cancel the order. He put a notice on the order string "undeliverable" address and said my money would be returned in a few days.

    I don't know about you but how is it an order can't be stopped from being mailed if it hasn't left the building yet? I thought ok and placed another order for the same piece but going to my actual address. Well I got that one super fast but there was not sign of my money for the other so I called the customer service to find out when I would be receiving my money for the "undeliverable" and therefore canceled order? I waited on hold for about 10-15 minutes before I was able to speak to someone! After giving him the reference number he then begins to tell me I have received the order so was questioning a refund request! This made my head explode! I was already irritated due to the wait but then I was told I had received the item, at an address I don't live at, and that was suppose to have not been sent in the first place!

    I then started to go over every step that I took to cancel the initial order with this guy! He had record of the cancelation request but yet THEY shipped it anyway! Things got a little testy so he hung up on me! I called back and got another ** who began to yell over me while I was trying to explain why this was a mistake THEY made! This IS NOT MY FAULT! I did everything your suppose to do to cancel and order! They made the mistake but yet I'm told I will have to pay for this mistake!?!? He said they were doing an investigation into the matter and would send me an email response with the outcome. I got 2 notices a few days later stating delivery was confirmed for the item! One for the canceled item and one for the one sent to my correct address! No refund for their mistake! Whoever lives in my old address just got a free item I guess! Thanks Tiger Direct!

    I ordered a Daily Deal RAM that had a $5 coupon per stick. Price in cart reflected the discount, but upon checkout the discount showed as applies but didn't reflect in total. Additionally, living in the same city that they ship from (5 minutes away, in fact), I was charged .5% more tax than normal. I may have been late or encountered a system glitch, which is fine. But what really irked me is what followed.

    I decided to give the online chat a try. The rep was slow, ignorant (of item pricing, math and local tax regulations) and unresponsive. After more than 30 minutes of going nowhere, I closed the chat and decided to call. The rep was nice enough and tried sorting things out with the "managers." This was all OK until he tried convincing me that the price was right and that sales tax in Florida is 7.5% -- "You can check anywhere. It's 7.5% for all of Florida," he said. No, it's not. It's 6%, and it's 7% in Miami. This bold ignorance is what really got to me. So, I cancelled and called it a day. Soon, they'll receive an email that in fact shows the pricing error I encountered and (hopefully) feel really stupid. Also, hopefully someone in that office will google Miami sales tax and see that what they told me was wrong, and again, (hopefully) feel very, very stupid.

    I will never shop here again. I used to shop at Tiger Direct years ago and it got where their order fulfillment sucked. I could not get equipment reliably and in a timely fashion to my customers. So I started using other distributors. One I used for local buys was Compusa. When Tiger Direct bought them out I still used them. Prices were reasonable and I could go pick up products I wanted. Now that they have closed all their stores and gone back to online only I placed an order on 5-14-15 for 2 computers and 2 monitors and as an after thought an external hard drive.

    First they held my order pending a verification (even though I had a personal account and a reseller account with them). After I did the verification I was told to look for tracking info to be sent to me. 3 days later I got a notification that the external hard drive had shipped but not the 2 computers and monitors which were what I needed most for my client. I called in and asked about the rest of items to be shipped, they said it should ship in a couple days.

    A week later I called in today and was told there was a problem at their warehouse in Ga and they were trying to resolve it but that everything had been delayed. With no notification to clients waiting, and no eta on when items would ship looks like Tiger Direct is back to their old crap of piss poor order fulfillment. I went to another distributor and bought better equipment at comparable prices this morning and product will be here Thursday. Thankfully my customer is not going to drop my business. But I am sure this will weigh heavy in his decision to order with me again. Maybe Tiger Direct can afford to lose clients but as a small business owner I can not!!!

    Bought and paid for $400 CPU (debit cleared bank a week ago, Tiger Direct acknowledges that). But they just won't ship it. "Our main distribution center is undergoing some system upgrades." Okay, still waiting... now my paid for order is "backordered" but it's still listed In Stock on their website and at their local store. Their email assures me "The product is in stock." Through a heavy accent, their phone service insists it is out of stock but will ship to me "soon." What does soon mean? They assure they will get me more stock on a date three days in the past. Yes, you read that correctly. They will [future tense] have more stock arriving on a date three days previous [past tense].

    Consequently, I can't cancel my order because at some point in the future (or three days in the past) they will have stock. That was what I was told. Escalating my call, the "manager" clarified they should have received a shipment three days prior but can't confirm their inventory. Meanwhile, they still advertise it "In Stock" online and "In Stock" at the local store. Buyer Beware! They will take your money and give you nothing but excuses.

    I placed an order for a barebones kit with multiple items and a couple of additional items with it, total value over $1100 on 5/9/2015. Part of my order was canceled, other parts have shipped separately, parts of the order show still "In Process" 9 days later. There are multiple items with rebates, but many of these require the products serial number or the original upc code. Since many have not arrived, cannot apply for the rebates until they do. I have called twice and live chatted once trying to find out what is going on with this order. Got told the parts that were canceled are out of stock and discontinued once, BUT they still show on sale and in stock on the website. Last call I placed I got the rep (**) to reorder the canceled parts and says they will be shipped without charge for shipping.

    Still am missing parts, and have received two parts (software disk and processor) in a box that has packing slip claiming I have two pieces of software, the processor AND the power supply in it...4 items on packing slip, two items in box, for which a box with a shipping weight of 0.6 lbs is rather interesting as power supplies are very heavy items. (also note: ALL those four items show as still in Process and have not been invoiced, neither the items received, nor the items not received but on the packing slip) ** said he could not tell what the issue was, but warehouses doing inventory and that should be done Thursday (in 3 more days).

    First person I talked to a couple days ago said problems are due to NEW inventory system. Any case, as a professional data analyst and having worked in warehouses before, I know what a load of malarkey that is. I had been a loyal TigerDirect customer for over a decade. But whoever is running the company now (obviously ** is not anymore) is running it straight into the ground with terrible customer service, questionable inventory and order handling, and overall a terrible drop in quality of business and honesty. At this point, I should have received ALL my items according to the shipping promise. A promise which obviously means nothing to them anymore.

I told her that I was suspicious and would prefer to call the number on the website to "confirm". I asked her if the number she was calling from was listed on the website. She told me it wasn't, which further exacerbated my suspicion.

She confirmed that I did indeed have to speak to their "credit card department". When I asked to speak to her manager, she flat out refused and demanded to know why I wanted to do so. I finally just cancelled my order. What an onerous and shady process and what an unhelpful customer service department. I will never order from them again. After reading here about the scams they run with the rebates, I'm very glad I didn't complete my order, since the only reason I was ordering from Tiger Direct was because they offered a rebate for this product that would have pushed the price down to $130.

    5/12/2015- Ordered an IBM Lenovo Laptop from the website for $309.00. Website clearly stated "IN-STOCK". I placed this order shortly after 8am (EST) and paid for next day delivery. When I looked at the order status on 5/13/2015, it said "being processed, still at warehouse." I called and got some moron who said that I could still receive it on time by end of day. I asked the idiot, "Are you new?" There is no way I would receive it the same day if it HADN'T shipped yet. No delivery.

    5/14/2015- Called again as the website says the same thing, "being processed, still at warehouse." Spoke to another moron, and told that idiot to put on a supervisor. Told that the order will not ship for another 24 to 72 hours (business days) due to "upgrades" at their Georgia warehouse. I explained to the moron in charge that I ordered this paid for next day delivery because it was IN STOCK. These idiots love to use the words unfortunately and I am sorry. I said that their upgrades are not my problem and this is not the way to do business.

    I strongly urge anyone out there to purchase from someone else as Tiger Direct is not worth buying from. The consumers who keep these idiots in business need to put them out of business. What did they offer me? To refund my shipping costs and a $20.00 gift card. I told them to shove it, that's not enough. I am done with Tiger Direct and the Hindu morons they employ. When they had English speaking AMERICANS working for them they never had this problem!

    I ordered an MSI gt80 sli-009 laptop for 3,652.76. The ad said that the item would not ship from a 3rd party warehouse for 24 hours. That is ok with me. I used overnight delivery method. This order took place on 4/28/15. I inquired about my order on 5/1/15 because I had not received a tracking number or sales invoice. I informed Tiger Direct that the item should have already shipped. I was informed that my item would not ship for 3 to 5 business days. I then received a call from Tiger Direct that the item I ordered was not in stock and that they would have to cancel my order. That was fine because I don't feel like I can trust what they say anyway.

    Now here is where the problem lies. Tiger Direct told me on the phone that they have released the hold on funds from my account and that I should have access to them. I called my bank and informed them that my account did not reflect the credit to my account. They told me that Tiger Direct has not released the funds. I called Tiger Direct back and I was told due to the amount it could take up to 30 days to return the money to my account. This is why I will never do business with Tiger Direct ever again. I hope I get my money back at least. Overall experience was horrible. I do not suggest anyone order anything from this website. I think what they did was display the item as available just to get the money. Then they tell you they don't have it so they can hold on to your money and keep it in an interest bearing account. This should be illegal.

    Some time ago, I saw a promotion on Tiger Direct that if I purchase a Windows 7 DVD OEM, and a McAfee antivirus software, I'll get back $60 in rebate for the McAfee. Upon receiving the items, I checked on the Internet for users' review of McAfee products. Most of the reviews put McAfee products in poor taste. As such, I decided not to keep the McAfee software. The very next day after receiving it, I called Tiger Direct to inform that I'll be returning the software, and would therefore require an RMA. The customer service rep informed me that Tiger Direct does not accept returns for McAfee products, even if the products are unopened. I stated that Tiger Direct never mentioned that the McAfee software was not returnable. I was rudely informed to contact McAfee directly for returns.

    When I contacted McAfee, I was told that McAfee does not accept returns for purchases made on Tiger Direct. Consequently, I returned the Windows 7 software, but was stuck with the McAfee antivirus. I tried to sell the unopened software on eBay for a loss, but no one was interested in buying. I ended up tossing it into the garbage. I guess people are getting wise to McAfee products. I have been a Tiger Direct customer for about 6 years. I have purchased many items from it (computer, parts and accessories, etc) during that time. However, that trust is broken by a rude customer service rep, and its unsatisfactory return policy. I will never purchase another item from Tiger Direct again.

    Placed an order for a Acer XB270HU monitor on April 2nd, 2015. TigerDirect's policy says they usually process things within 15 minutes, if not by the next day.

I waited those 3-4 business days, until April 7th, 2015, and my order still had not been processed or charged - let alone shipped. I contacted customer service and they said my order was delayed because they were waiting for shipment from a 3rd party warehouse and said it wouldn't be shipped until 4/23/2015.

    I discussed with other people who placed their order through TigerDirect for this monitor, and people who placed their orders more recently seemed to have luck getting their orders fulfilled, while others who placed their order first are getting put on backorder.

When I called about it, they said it was outside the return window and was new. They did grant me the price match to their current reduced price and sent me a coupon code (email) for the $20 difference. I ordered a second laptop (refurbished - not paying new prices again) for my business about a year after the first and attempted to use the rebate code, but it had expired.

    I originally ordered an item on August 26, 2014. By mid-September, the item had still not shipped. I had contacted TD numerous times in order to check up on the status of the item (which showed as "in stock" on the website for the duration) and was told that the item was being "processed." Finally on September 12th I cancelled the order by phone -- at this time the item was still being "processed" and had not yet shown as shipped for me or on TD's end. On September 15th, the item arrived at my doorstep. TD generated a manual bill for this order on November 11th, which I contacted them numerous times about (seven as of this writing) demanding payment for an item which had, at this point, been unsolicited (the order had been cancelled -- TD's shipping logistics issues are not my responsibility) and thus in violation of FTC rules regarding unsolicited merchandise.

    In January, I offered to return the item to TD so that they would cease sending me letters regarding this item which I had not purchased. On January 30th I shipped the item back to TD using their provided shipping label via a UPS store, which shows as delivered and signed for on February 4th to the "dock" location at their Illinois facility. On February 24th I received a letter from TD collections stating that this was their final notice and that the case would be sent to collections (and CC'd to their legal department) demanding payment in full for an item which (a) had no active order, as it had been cancelled yet TD shipped it anyways (drop shipping is not my responsibility), and (b) had already been returned (complete in original packaging with all included parts) and signed for three weeks prior.

    Upon contacting TD's customer service department, at every step of the way I have been assured that I have "nothing to worry about," that "the order has been cancelled," that "you do not need to pay anything," that "I have manually stopped the manual billing of this item," and so on. At every step of the way, this has apparently been a lie, or at the very least, TD's left hand (customer service) isn't talking to the right (collections), and the rest of the body (the warehouse) apparently takes over 3 weeks to inventory returns.

    Long story short, here I am five months later and TD is still hassling me to death over a stupid $100 item. At this point I would pay $100 just to get them to go away if it didn't mean giving $100 to a company which rightly shouldn't be allowed to engage in interstate commerce given the terrible practices they engage in. I will absolutely never, under any circumstances, ever engage in business with Tiger Direct again, and I encourage everyone who happens upon this report to do the same, for your own sanity if nothing else.

The item was HP Pavilion 17-F023NR Notebook PC. I submitted my order online where I received an email confirmation regarding my order. Later that evening, I received an email telling me that my order would have to be verified before it could be shipped. This email was sent 30 minutes after their customer service department closed (9:30 pm). The next morning 3/4/2015, I checked my bank account and saw that my account had been debited $509.88. I called Tiger Direct customer service to attempt to verify whatever information they needed.

    The telephone call consisted of me giving every piece of information I had previously submitted the night before and in addition, I had to give my bank's customer service number and be at home so that they could call my residential number to verify it was me. Again. I was put on hold twice. I finally told the CS rep that I have to work in order to pay for the things I buy and that they need to contact me after they sort out whatever issues they are having with my order. I never received a call. I called back and the CS rep told me that she would put me on hold and conference me in with my bank to verify my purchase. I said absolutely not, because my bank already honored the purchase by debiting my account. The issue was with Tiger Direct putting me through all this "verification."

    I told the CS rep (I spoke with a "Karen" but I could have talked to others during the multiple phone calls) that I wanted my order cancelled and my account credited by the end of the day or I would be notifying all available agencies regarding this process. She told me that it would take 24-72 hours to credit my account or it could be done immediately if I conferenced in with my bank because my bank would not authorize any information to Tiger Direct (of which I am thankful my bank wouldn't do this given the circus Tiger Direct's customer service is!). I again refused to do a conference with my bank and Tiger Direct because my bank honored the debit, but Tiger Direct was not honoring the providing of product after I had verified my information. I told the CS rep, again, that I wanted my account credited by the end of the day.

    They took my money almost immediately after placing the order, wasted my time "verifying" my information, and then are making me wait to get my money back. I want my $509.98 from Tiger Direct credited back the way I paid for it.

Of course, God only knows how long that will take and I only have 30 days to return the item.

    Just last week, my husband bought two computer cases from Tiger Direct. As anyone knows, you can't really build an effective computer without a case - so it was crucial to the build to have them before the weekend. We paid over $100 for overnight shipping. They arrived on the Friday, but one case was the wrong model. My husband went over our invoice to see where the mix-up occurred, but everything was entered correctly.

    He got on LiveChat with a representative named Roger. Roger informed my husband that the only thing he was able to do was to return the case for a refund. My husband was not satisfied with that answer, explaining that this was a time-sensitive shipment, wanted a new case shipped out, and wanted a refund for the original shipping costs. He was denied. He asked that a manager call him, and Roger promised that a manager would be giving us a call within 15 minutes.

    An hour went by and we still had not received a call from a manager. I called customer service and it took both myself and my husband to speak to the representative for about 15 minutes before he transferred us to a manager. My husband explained the WHOLE situation yet again to this manager, who, during the conversation put him on hold a handful of times, came back off hold to speak with my husband about another client's order - obviously getting the lines mixed up, AND he raised his voice to him. The conclusion of speaking to the manager was this: a new case would be shipped out to us OVERNIGHT/SATURDAY delivery at NO COST; a printing label would be emailed, and once the new case was received, we would ship the old case back at NO COST; a refund of $107.28 for the original overnight shipping would be refunded to us.

    This all happened on Friday. It is now Monday evening. We did not receive the new case. Calls and emails to the company went unanswered. We have not received any refund. In fact, we were charged an extra $109.00 (less a $10 discount) for the replacement case - that is ON HOLD, and has not shipped. My husband and I are terribly disappointed. I encourage everyone to stay away from these crooks. We didn't, and it was a $500 mistake on our part.

    I hope I get 2 of the rebates in process, but a 3rd was less time to submit than the others. The invoices are under the shipping label--very hard to find--looks like just a shipping label. Items with multi-boxes have multi-UPCs, print your invoices online, and have problems--hope you speak to someone with just a little accent. Seemed like a lot of work...like my good old menards better.

    I bought a PNY SSD from Tiger Direct on 1/28/2014 with a rebate. It was difficult and time consuming but I did promptly submit a complete rebate package. The receipt from the store was light. Then on 1/30/2015 I was notified by e-mail that my rebate was rejected because there was "no receipt". It was too late to resubmit. Do not fall for the Tiger Direct ploy of offering rebates which may not be honored!! This is a poor business practice.

    Just an FYI - before blindly ordering anything from them that offers a rebate - take the time to look into the requirements for that offer. Unlike MOST rebate offers, they require you to jump thru more hoops and the company offering the rebate usually has activation requirements including CC info. If you can remember 10 months from now to cancel your membership, etc then the offer may be good for you. If it seems to be too good to be true...

    The first bare bones I purchased from TigerDirect did not even make it long enough to install Windows on. Had to pay shipping both ways to get it delivered and to return it, so I paid shipping twice and got nothing for it. Thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt and give them a second chance so ordered another bare bones. This one lasted for two days and power supply made a crackle and a pop and system shut down - the PSU went out. Got an RMA for it and sent it back to them. It took 5 phone calls and 3 weeks to get them to ship me the replacement. I think they purposely dragged their feet to send it back so the 30 day return was up and sure enough the system is not working. I do not recommend purchasing anything from TigerDirect.

    So I ordered something from Tiger Direct. They ship it to the wrong address. UPS returns it to their warehouse. So now the customer service person says, they can return it and I can re-order (oh and of course the price has gone up). Or, they can re ship to the correct address and I can pay shipping again... You want me to pay $10 shipping on a $25 item a second time? Have you lost your ** mind? So I talk to a supervisor. Now the item is mysteriously only available in store. Yes you idiot, of course I want my money back. My question is, who was lying to me, the first rep or the supervisor? Thank you Tiger Direct, I will NEVER purchase from you again.

    I would like to let you know the horrible experience I had ordering a server from your company. We spent $2800 just on the server at your company plus other things I bought for the company. I ordered a server on November 26th and paid for next day air. I called back two days later when I did not receive it. I was told my boss will have to call and approve the purchase, for what reason I'm not sure. So he called and approved it. Another two days went by and I called to find out why it's still not here. I was told my boss has to call and approve the purchase. So I spoke to my boss and he said he called. So he called again and asked why I didn't get approved last time. He was told that he approved the warranty. Spoke to Fred and he said there was a mistake on your companies end and it will be fixed. God know what the heck happen in between then and December 26th when I finally received the server. The whole time I am waiting for it to be delivered, my boss kept asking me where it was and what was going on and I kept telling him it was on its way because that's what I was being told. My boss and I are extremely upset with the way things have gone with the ordering and the delivery of the server.

    We paid for next day air - we didn't get it for a month. That is terrible customer service. I feel like I was also getting the run around. We have emailed the store manager and have not received a response, its been a week.

I purchased two programs as gifts for Christmas. The programs are still in the original packaging. When I called today to ask for a return authorization, I was told they could not do it because I had purchased the item on 11/23/14.

    American Express said that they issued a rebate card on 10/29/2014 for the amount of $33.00. Since I had not received the card and they show that the card shows no use, they would cancel that card and re-issue another card and send it to me right away. Note: The rebate must be used within 120 days of first issue, then it expires. Almost 60 days have passed and I still have not received my rebate.

    I should background this by saying that I commonly order computer related products from Amazon, Newegg, or BestBuy. My local Tiger Direct brick and mortar store did not have the exact motherboard in stock that I wanted (in fact that had no ITX motherboards in stock) so I ordered online from tigerdirect.com. The price seemed good and the product was what I wanted. I got an email with my confirmation and was billed immediately - I expected a delivery notification soon. I notice that when I check my order it now says 5-10 business days to ship. This is clearly not acceptable to me so I call to cancel the order.

    Customer service at this point cannot tell me anything about my order other than it is with a third party and that they can't cancel the order. They can't tell me who the third party is, if the item is in stock, if it will ship, when it will ship or where it ships from. They can only tell me that it is too late to cancel the order. The customer service rep recommends I refuse the delivery as a way to possibly return the item. I am not comfortable with this as I would like a refund and having a product somewhere within a shipping system is no way to get a refund quickly.

    Two days later, I get an email from Tiger Direct that my order will ship tomorrow. Now having information and thinking that I can use this to inform customer service that the order had not shipped and that I'd now like to cancel before it ships, I call in, wait on the phone for 30 minutes only to find out that it is too late to cancel my order. The person on the phone says that they can try to send a ticket but they can't guarantee anything. Sure enough the next day I get my tracking number. It is now a week after I ordered with another week of ground shipping. I receive the item and call customer service to return the item. After 30 minutes on hold (we are experiencing longer than average wait times...) they recommend I take it to the local store for a return. I figure, what the heck, I will go into the local store, make the return and buy some more stuff while I am there. The local store cannot accept the return; because you guessed it, they do not stock the item. It is from a third party warehouse.

    I then go home to call customer service to RMA this. After 30 minutes on the phone they tell me that they will request an RMA but that may take 48 hours. They give me a ticket number and promise to get back to me. 3 days later after hearing nothing I call back, 30 minutes on the phone and get my RMA. I ship UPS tracking with a cost of $15 out of my pocket to be sure I have tracking. Now that I know the address of the warehouse I know it takes 3 days to ship UPS ground (why initially was it a week???). I track the item and it arrives at the warehouse. I wait 3 more days and don't hear anything. I call customer service. 30 minutes of longer than average wait times and the person on the phone cannot do anything unless I can provide the tracking number. What? I don't have it with me so I have to call again with all of the info, my order number, RMA number, UPS tracking number (you KNOW they wished I sent it USPS with no tracking) and after 45 minutes of longer than average wait times, they check the tracking and decide to issue a refund. They give me a precious reference number (these are useless) and promise a refund within 24 -48 hours. I will have to check tomorrow to see if I get it. I am not hopeful.

    It has been a month since I ordered. I had to call several times to do things that other merchants can handle online seamlessly. If I get my money back I will. If you want to buy from Tigerdirect, buy in store only. Avoid online because they use third party sellers that they seem to have no control over or even have the ability to contact. When it took the tracking number for them to tell if the item was returned I was convinced there are major issues.

However, the order kept showing as "to be shipped" status. Two weeks later I had to write mail and call the online support to check what was wrong. At that time, the support guy told me that the item was out of stock and they were not able to process this order. So I asked to cancel this order and refund my money. At least one week later, the order finally got cancelled and the money had not been refunded yet. Now the support guy replied that it still requires several days to get the money refunded. It is quite ridiculous that it took more than one month to find out there was out of stock, and cancel the order, and refund the money. What a poor seller.

Then they told me that I would have to pay the extra 100 dollars difference between these items and then I got really mad and asked to speak to a manager.

    Wow! Is all I can say about this place. Tiger Direct has the WORST return policy among every store I have been to. We bought a 55 inch Samsung LED and it broke in less than 3 weeks. We had the original receipt, but recycled the 6 foot box. We spoke to the Store Manager over the phone and told him about our broken 55 inch Samsung TV. The Store Manager promised us that if we returned it before 30 days we would be able to exchange it for the same TV, however, we would not have a box, because they needed the box to return the broken TV back to Samsung. We agreed. We were told by the Store Manager that they were going to write notes under our name in the computer so we wouldn't have trouble exchanging the TV. We were also promised that the Store Manager will write notes in the computer under our customer name so we wouldn't experience any hassle for returning the TV.

    Guess what? We drove all the way to Tiger Direct in Naperville, IL and spoke to the same store manager that promised us a new TV. He went back on his word and said he can't do it. Not only this, he lied to us. He told us that he NEVER said we can return our TV without a box. We argued and still he lied. Now we have to deal with Samsung and hope they will fix our broken TV that cost us $1,200! We will never go back to Tiger Direct again!

I made the serious mistake ordering from Tiger Direct in December. The prices were good and I would save paying sales tax. On the first order, I received a tablet that was supposed to have a full rebate. Guess what? No rebate form is available! The order was supposed to include McAfee anti-virus software. It did not, but I was charged $30.

    The second order, which arrived a few days later, was another tablet, that was supposed to have two rebates with it. No rebate for the tablet on the Tiger site. Two more McAfee anti-virus software programs were included. I only ordered one! I did find out that the rebate on this program is limited to ONE HOUSEHOLD. I also ordered and received a PNY 64 GB flash drive, which was supposed to have a rebate for the full cost. Guess what! No rebate is available at the Tiger Direct rebate center! I then wanted to return the tablets, but Tiger Direct says no. I tried several times to call them but they are experiencing a "high call volume," which is probably their way of avoiding unhappy customers. These people are crooks. Unless you want to waste a lot of time correcting their (probably) on-purpose mistakes to your order--avoid them!

    I ordered the Black Friday Playstation 4 bundle that came with 2 games from them for $375.00 before shipping. The item showed as in stock for two days after placing my order. Wondering when my order would be shipped, I called them and they told me it was back ordered. It has been 2 weeks so I called again to see if there was an update. They told me they might be getting a new shipment on Monday, December 15th and to try then. If there was not a shipment, I was told I would be able to get a comparable item for the same price.

    When I called on Monday they told me they would not be getting any more shipments of this item. Their solution was for me to pay full price for a Playstation 4 with no games which is $399 (which is not a comparable item or price) or buy another bundle at $450 which came with 2 different games (not a comparable price) and this was the best they could do (essentially nothing).

    After further discussion the most they were willing to offer was a $20 gift card for my next purchase. So it would not even apply to this current order. I can't even get my original order, why would I even order from here again, especially when there is absolutely no incentive. The bundle is now sold out everywhere and I could have easily gotten this from another retailer had TigerDirect not been deceitful in the amount of stock they actually had. I will never be ordering from them again and will be advising my friends and family to do the same.

    I apologize this is a bit long, but please read through it all. It just baffles me how a company still operates with customer service like theirs. Anyone looking for computer parts - avoid TigerDirect like the plague. This was my first experience with TD and will definitely be the last. I purchased a SSD (solid state hard drive) over black Friday weekend (11/28/14). The promotion was for a Samsung evo 840 SSD and a Far Cry 4 digital download.

    After my purchase was completed and receiving all confirmation emails with no promo code, I called into TD to inform them no promo code for my Far Cry 4 was in my emails. The rep told me that a promo coupon would be in my package when it physically arrives. As I deal with Newegg primarily, this is what they do as well (send promo code with item) so I said alright and ended my call. This was 11/28/2014.

    My package arrived 3 days past the expected "delivery date." I opened my package and lo and behold no promo coupon. So I call in and explain the situation. The rep assures me that an email with a code will be sent within 24 hours. 48 hours go by, still nothing. I call for the following 3 days, every rep telling me the same thing, promising me an email within 24 hours. On the 4th day I was extremely frustrated by the "beating-around-the bush tactics" by the reps at TD. So I call in again determined to get an affirmative answer on what the heck is going on.

    I get a male rep on the phone. From the moment he answers the call I hear that dreading tone of a customer service rep that wants to gouge his eyes out cause he hates his job with a passion (Great!). I explain the situation to the rep, he places me on hold for 8 minutes, comes back on the line and tells me "I checked our phone logs and I do not see that you called in 3 times like you state." I tell the rep that I called in the past 3 days and why he doesn't have my call logs is completely irrelevant to resolving the matter at hand. He continues to rant about "if you really called in 3 times I would have it in my system, so I doubt that you actually called in 3 times about this matter." Holy Jesus what is this, are they calling me a liar?! I told the rep to do his job, which is to take care of the customer and alleviate the matter at hand, not question a customer spending his hard earned dollars with them and the validity of how many times I called in. Apparently, arguing about the amount times I called in is more important to TD reps than resolving an ongoing problem. After the conversation was going nowhere, I hung up and decided to call in again for another rep. What happened next just blew my mind.

    I understand it’s the holidays, but literally 32 min later a rep finally comes on the line. I say please look at the notes on my account because I do not want to explain the situation for the 20th time. I am placed on another 10 min hold and the rep finally comes back on the line (this time it’s a female Indian rep). She tells me "Sir I looked on our website and there is no promotion for Far Cry 4 with the SSD." I explain to her that the purchase was made on 11/28 over black friday and that would explain why her looking right now on their website would not show that promo. So I tell her to check the promotion under my actual order date on 11/28.

    Another 10 min hold. She comes back on the line to tell me she checked her system for 11/28 and there was never a promo with Far Cry 4 with my SSD EVER! Now I am pissed off! She tells me there is nothing more she can do and tries to end the call. I said, “no way am I leaving this matter like this” and to escalate the issue to a supervisor now! I get a supervisor on the phone and he is singing the same tune as all his reps, refusing to help me and stating that his reps already checked and that he doesn't need to check himself. WOW, REALLY?! This shows how lazy and careless these people are from their staff all the way on up to their supervisors.

    Thank goodness I record all my calls with big companies (dealing with comcast and all their BS I downloaded a call log app for my phone). Realizing the conversation was once again going nowhere I inform the supervisor if that is how he wants to play it, that I would submit all my voice recorded calls to my lawyer and see what he has to say about their company and reps false advertising and bs'ing their consumers.

    I told him I have every call recorded of me calling in countless times to multiple reps claiming that I will receive my code within 24 hours. Now why on Earth would multiple reps, days on end, tell me I would receive a promo code that never existed? That's right BUSTED! The supervisor changes his tune instantaneously and offers me a $20 gift card for a game that is selling for $59.99 on their website (what a joke). I say no way is that going to fly with me for all the headache and bs they put me through. I tell him I will take a gift card for the price of the game on their website ($59.99). He tells me the most he can request is $50 and that it would need manager approval. I tell him I will accept a $50 gift card. He assures me he will resolve the matter by Monday and personally call me back (This was a Friday).

    Today is now Wednesday 12/17/14. No call, go figure. I called in about an hour ago this morning. I ask the rep to speak to the supervisor I dealt with prior. He looks on my notes and tells me there's no way I will get my $50 gift card. I responded by saying "who are you to tell me that? Transfer me to the supervisor dealing with my matter." He says that supervisor is not working and that he would transfer me to another supervisor. He transfers me to a dead end mail box that ends the call! OMG!

    I call in again, get a supervisor on the line, explain I have recorded calls and he says "I just checked and finally got an update that sony will be sending out more licenses for the game." He refuses to even talk about the $50 gift card since the game is "free under promotion" and that he will not honor it and I just have to wait until the licenses come again. What a crock of crap. I say “I want some type of extra compensation for the amount of time and bs I had to deal with.” Dead end road. I ended up just hanging up on the promise for an email within 24 hours with my promo code.

    If there is a way for me to post the calls I would be more than happy to provide them. I am still going to run this by my lawyer and see if we have a strong enough case for me to take these guys to court or something. Although, it will probably be a waste of my time and cost me more in legal fees than it would be worth for myself. This is how big companies screw over us, the consumer, the people that keep their business afloat.

    It is obvious this company doesn't give two poops about their consumer's. We need to not give companies like this any business. Trying to save $30 and purchasing a product from TD because of a game I really wanted just gave me 100 gray hairs and high blood pressure. Learn from my mistake people, never order from TigerDirect. Sometimes it's worth spending the extra coin for good service/products. I will never, ever, ever order from this pos company again. I will post on as many places I can about my horrible experience with this company. Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays.

    Tiger is by far the worst company I have ever ever dealt with and truly, the grave will see me before tiger does again. I ordered a refurbished system 10/10/14. When it came, the front cover was open/Broken - the system wouldn't stay on; the front peg inside was broken; it appeared someone had used superglue to attach it. I returned it. As of 11/14/14 no replacement received. So I called; per their rep "the return wasn't processed correctly" so sorry for the inconvenience. They shipped another. It has a pirated version of windows, so I had to buy another. Then, the Office I purchased wouldn't register online as it was on the returned item. I contacted support at tiger; they said to tell microsoft I had returned the item. To no avail, so I ordered another immediately via amazon. I couldn't afford my staff to be down yet another month!

    After 13 emails all stating "high call volume due to the holidays and so sorry, don't hesitate to contact us if you need assistance", I called, DID an online chat and all but hey - apologies ought to be worth the time on the phone, emails, chat and downtime, right? Seems their reps can't even read. I thought the emails and calls and chats were me contacting them?!?!?!? Now, on 12/16 I see they are sending me a free copy of office; I needed it a month ago, so I ordered it. This free copy of office will do me absolutely no good whatsoever, although I guess it will look pretty in my desk.

    I will never as long as I live, ever buy anything from tiger. Ever. I have sent my clients all the emails and chats as well as names of support reps and have advised them to do the same. I could have bought a brand new system for less than I spent on this tiger debacle, not to mention the one month downtime. Stick to newegg or walmart. Don't waste your time or money - they do not care about you - or even selling a product as advertised. Hmm.... I thought this sort of thing was illegal - I have advised microsoft they are shipping out refurbished computers with pirated software contained therein.

She then proceeds to tell me I can't cancel it as the stock is coming from a THIRD party supplier and they "might" have already shipped it but she can't let me know until 24-72 hrs. Complete liars!!

    I am teaching customer service at a university, and should probably be thankful that TigerDirect provided me with such a perfect, textbook example of miscommunication between a company and its delivery subcontractor - with the customer caught in the middle. Purolator called me to let me know that the item (a TV) would not be delivered, because it was broken. This was following two weeks of patiently waiting for the item to be delivered, supposedly because they did not have a correct delivery address (which was not the case). As I asked Purolator if they had informed TigerDirect of this issue, they told me that it'd be up to me to call TigerDirect to let them know. I obliged, but the TigerDirect operator did not trust me and called Purolator to confirm.

    After a 25min wait, we eventually got a conference call with Purolator, to be told that Purolator HQ had not heard of any issue with the parcel. And they were unable to call their local Purolator depot (the one who had called me) to confirm that indeed the item had been broken. Will I be refunded for this issue? I am not even sure at the point. What I am sure of, is that I will not buy anymore from TigerDirect, until they have put their act together and have selected another delivery company. Miscommunication between TigerDirect & Purolator, + miscommunication within Purolator --> Don't buy from that company, unless you have lots of time to waste going back and forth between that company and their outsourced delivery service.

    I ordered an item from Tiger Direct 12/7 and used my C/C. It was charged within 1 minute and I paid around 6 dollars for S&H. Their website says in stock items are shipped within 24hrs and my item was 'IN STOCK" at the time of order and still shows it in stock as of 12/11. On their website says my order was sent to a 'DROP SHIPPER', a 3rd party warehouse for processing and you will be notified when item ships. Why was this done when it shows my item in stock? Why 4 days later still shows item has not shipped and they give you no link or info for this 3rd party warehouse shipper and I paid for shipping.

    I have called their phone support only to hear an endless loop of "our call volume is higher than normal and have increased customer wait times and go to our website and look up your question there." I have called early morning, mid afternoon and very late at night, each time on hold between 1 and 1 1/2 hrs and no one ever answers. I have sent (3) e-mails to them thru their website and have not received any reply from tiger direct. I believe this is their common practice of doing business and using your money as long as they can and care nothing about providing the service they advertise or respect for customers. Fraud?

    First of all, it's illegal for Tiger Direct to demand that for identification purposes. SECOND, they call the bank to verify your credit history when you pay by credit card. I asked them, "Am I applying for a mortgage????" I spent 45 minutes on the phone with some lady from the Philippines, just because I wanted to ship the order other than my billing address. It's Christmas...HELLO!!!!

    In the end, I was furious, so cancelled my order because she wanted more identification. Sounds like an underground fraud scheme to me. I have purchased so many things online and NEVER EVER once have I encountered so many questions to verify my credit card. 45 frickin' minutes and only to have that woman come back to tell me that they online search, didn't show my public address and that the bank couldn't verify because she couldn't get anyone on the phone, so wanted my driver's licence sent to them for verification.

The computer is slow. Right out of the box. Tried to load an application, it looked like there were two of them running. Tried to format a flash drive, it looked like it did it twice and took forever. It waited at 98%, or so, for the longest time. I finally got tired and pulled the flash drive out. I then copied to the flash drive and it worked fine, even though that copy took forever.

The consequence for Tiger Direct is I will never buy from them again and I will spread the word. Shame on me for being fooled and shame on Tiger Direct for being so sneaky.

    Tiger Direct along with McAfee was running a special on an Asus tablet bundled with McAfee jellybean software for a $70 rebate. I purchased 4. One was for myself and the others I bought for a family member who would in turn give them as presents. I immediately became angry when I went to redeem the rebate and was only allowed to process one because it is based in the credit card billing address. To top it off, the items cannot be returned to Tiger Direct. So I am now stuck with a $300 bill that was not a part of my budget. It almost seems like it was planned that they established policies they knew customers would be trapped once they bought the product. It is a tough pill to swallow, but never will I support McAfee or Tiger Direct. That is the last penny they will ever get from me and I will warn others with every chance I get.

    WARNING! Make sure the item you order is the one you absolutely want or you are screwed. They will give you the same ** response about "sending a request to cancel that will take 24-48 hour" which essential ships anyways even if your status says "not yet shipped."

    I ordered an ELECTRONIC gift card with them. Asked them to cancel it because I wanted to use a different credit card. Rep tells me it takes up to 24-48 hours which gets me asking WHY since it is an electronic gift card. All you have to do is NOT SEND IT. Guess what happens the NEXT day, the gift card is sent. I would understand if it was a physical gift card and it was already being packaged in the warehouse, but an ELECTRONIC one?! Just don't email it! SO STUPID. Their request for cancellation is just a request NOT a cancellation at all. Just a way for them to stop talking to you and your order ships anyways.

    Another order with items I PAID shipping for. 2 out of 3 items shipped 2 days earlier while the 3rd is just hanging there are "not shipped yet." I tell them that I want it cancelled because I need the items all at once and rather just pick up the missing item in store. Guess what the response was? "I'll send a request that will take 24-48 hours BLAH BLAH BLAH." Basically how I interpret that now is that you didn't do squat to cancel my order and that it will ship anyways. Even if I refuse the delivery I still eat the shipping cost. GREAT Thanks for making my experience terrible TIGER DIRECT.

Hotels and gas stations don't even do that. They put a hold on your card, then drop the hold and charge your card.

    A few days ago, I went to Tiger Direct to buy some hardware and got initially sidetracked with the bargain bins. There were some flip-open boxes with $11.00 LED flash lights. As I was was exploring one of them, I was approached by one of the staff but he then stopped about 10 feet away, stared at me and in a hostile manner (glaring at me) said to me, "How can I help you?". I was quite taken aback by the intense "vibes" and wasn't quite sure why I was feeling threatened. I responded by saying, "Not really, I'm just looking". The next thing he said to me "floored me". He said, and I quote, "I don't appreciate you opening my packages". Wow, really? This was obviously the source of his hostility. Yes, I had carefully opened the box. There was no tape or wrapping that could be damaged in any way and the product was loosely placed a non-sealed plastic bag.

    I then left the store but before I did so, I made it known to this "sales" guy that I didn't appreciate his approach in the matter. He said it was "store policy". Really? It's not like I had unpackaged a sealed box or a computer or tore open an encapsulated circuit board. It was a plastic flashlight on the bargain table!!!!! But, this really isn't the point. I have shopped many times at this particular Tiger Direct and not once have I ever encountered this type of unprofessional treatment a customer. I feel very disturbed by this encounter and I'm not sure where I should lodge my complaint except here. I can tell you, that no matter what I said to the guy (including, I would like to speak with the manager), it fell on deaf ears.

    Based on other comments I have heard, this one can be added to the large heap of customer service complaints. Is this the type of customer service I can continue to expect from Tiger Direct? BTW, if Tiger Direct is listening, I left the Burlington store and took my business to a local computer store and purchased the hardware I wanted to buy elsewhere. I'm going to do the same with the flashlight I was considering buying even if it costs me more. As a customer, my tolerance level is "0" for this type of treatment.

Sales guy didn't say anything when we were looking for an affordable tv set. I asked him if in the event I didn't like the tv if I could return it and he said yes within 30 days but he never mentioned the restocking fee. Manager didn't want to help, he just said "bottom line no matter what I said it wasn't going to change anything that I still had to pay the 15%" in a not very professional manner.

I received a confirmation email & all of the information that I gave was correct. Simple... purchaser info, receiver info, confirmation number. The next day came & went & no email certificate.

Apparently, they tried calling me to verify the transaction, but my phone never rang (I'm never without my phone, no missed calls, no VM). When no one answered, they canceled the transaction without notifying anyone.

    On 11/08/2014, I went to Tiger Direct to physically look at the shelf prices. It was a drive from Mansfield, TX to Mid-Cities Hurst area. I was happy to see that the items I was looking for were a bit cheaper. I thought to myself that when payday comes I will return and pick up the item/s. I returned the next week, on 11/14/2014 and looked once again at the price tags. The price tag for the power supply I wanted in BIG BOLD PRINT stated $39.99. There were three lines highlighted in small print that stated that the manufacturer would honor a $20.00 rebate. I took the item to the store where the nice yet socially inept cashier began to tell me about the 2 store offered warranties. In his dialogue he told me that one of them would possibly cut me a check for $60.00. At this time I realized the price he was going to charge me was $59.99. I told him to hold on and I went to get the price marker that was for the product. The tag stated retail $89.99. Nowhere on the tag did it say $59.99. I took the tag to the manager where I was told that all the tags reflect the selling price MINUS the manufacturer's rebate, not the store's rebate (not offered).

    Small recap on this; They mark the tags with the price that you will eventually pay IF you get to receive the rebate which this particular rebate expires on 11/15/2014 yet, with the receipt the Manufacturer will honor. Despite the rebate they consistently lie about the price of the item and mislead you into thinking you are getting a better deal than you will at check out. I have only been a consumer for 35 of my measly years on this planet yet it has been my experience that stores will honor the price on the tag. This manager WOULD NOT! He continued to reroute the conversation and would not admit how deceiving this is nor would he honor the tag. I will NEVER shop at Tiger Direct again as they lie to you without even saying a word. There is no telling what else they lie about. I suppose this is why they are no longer in business in many areas in brick and mortar just like they failed in Arlington, TX.

This complaint is more about McAfee's underhanded rebate practices, but since this rebate is sponsored by Tiger Direct, I am afraid they have some culpability in this matter. This rebate required the normal items, receipt, bar codes, rebate form etc but it also required a person to turn on the McAfee auto-renew feature of the anti-virus subscription for 10 months out of the 12 month subscription, with credit card of course. McAfee is betting that you will forget to turn it off and you will be charged continuously for yearly subscriptions from that point on. This is a very unethical way of doing business. I really like Tiger Direct and feel that they should not sponsor these kinds of underhanded rebates. I am very disappointed with Tiger Direct and feel they should deny supporting these kinds of rebates.

    We ordered 2 monitors, a few mice, keyboards, and some thumb drives. One box arrived with the keyboards, mice and thumb drives. The next day we got (1) of 2 monitors. When I notified my salesperson he first claimed that UPS showed we received both. I explained I have a packing slip that says (1). He said he would have to do the research with UPS and never heard back again. NO credit, No monitor. As usual the burden is on me to fight for what I paid for upfront and did not receive. All done with this company.

    I purchased a factory reconditioned DVD player that arrived D.O.A. I contacted customer support and they gave me a return authorization number. I explained the problem and they told me I would have to pay return shipping for the garbage they sent me. I trusted their site that said these items were as good as new and inspected for quality. What BS. The item cost more for return shipping than I paid for it, I guess that's the scam with this company. They ship you crap and you have to eat it.

    Oct 4, I ordered a $500 tablet WHITE but Tiger Direct shipped a black one instead. Here is the thing: the packing slip stated a White tablet. So I called for return authorization and waited for correct tablet to arrive. Imagine my surprise when ANOTHER BLACK one was delivered. They were also slow sending the correct one to me as well! This makes 3 weeks I have worried with Tiger Direct. I have been without a computer during this time but I am (more than) willing to wait another few days to get the correct WHITE tablet from another company! Don't waste your time and sanity ordering from TIGER DIRECT. Use another supplier!

    HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE ORDER NEVER SHIPPED: I ordered a computer & monitor on the 7th with 3-5 day delivery guarantee. The monitor arrived within that time frame. I have been attempting to find out the status on the computer ever since. I have call customer service, online customer chat, etc. I get the same scripted answers time after time... This is a copy of the excuse I keep getting: "Please give me a moment while I look into that for you. Upon checking here, there is already a request sent to the drop shipper or 3rd party supplier for a follow-up e-mail regarding the status of the order. Can you give us until tomorrow regarding the information from the drop shipper."

    This tells me nothing and neither can anyone else that I have contacted. I have contacted and called customer service 8 times and always the same answer (noted above). They have promised to call me back, update the status, etc.... but nothing. I can barely understand their customer service people and vice versa. I have used this company for thousands of dollars of equipment in the past. I will never use this company again. Not sure what happened with this company but again, I will not be coming back and will keep posting reviews every chance I get. I have lost a week+ of work waiting on this computer. In trying to cancel order I was informed that I may or may not be able to cancel, I would have to wait 5-7 more days to see if I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK FOR SOMETHING I NEVER GOT.

    This morning the following email was received from an email I sent FRIDAY: (keep in mind that I have to supply them with an order number to send them a question on my ORDER)... Word of Caution: Do Not Use the Company... “Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to verify if you have already placed the order or still in the process to placing one. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.”

I was called 9/14/14, 15 minutes before Accounting closed for the day for an approval, which I missed. I called 9/15/14 to sort it out and get the ball rolling. The next day, 9/16/14 the two monitors ship next day air, no problem. But the Phantom gets sent to a drop shipper, so I ask for a status as to when the item will be shipped, and they refuse to give me any information about a possible shipping date, and ignore me for the second half of the day.

    On 9/17/14 The Phantom ships and I get a tracking number but it's only a couple hours old so there is no info, but the ORDER STATUS page on the website says NEXT DAY AIR so I think nothing of it... until I check it later in the day and come to find it's being shipped ground to my house. I call customer service and they say it's going to their warehouse first then Next Day Air to my house, but the tracking number reports it shipping directly to me. So now my two day shipping has turned into 5 day. I have a plethora of bad customer service evidence from Tiger Direct, chats, emails, phone convos, and I am an unsatisfied customer.

    On September 8, 2014, I purchased the following product or service: Toshiba Tecra A50-A1550 from your online store. My order number is **. I purchased it on 9/8/14 and paid for next day air shipping. The full total with shipping was $653.56. I received the product on 9/10/14. I took the product out of the box and noticed it was installed with the operating system I had requested - Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I noticed that nowhere on the laptop, in/on the box, or recovery media that contained my Windows serial key sticker. I inserted the recovery discs that were shipped with it to update software drivers on the system and the recovery discs installed a different operating system I did not want - Windows 8.1 pro. I used an image file directly from the Microsoft website to revert it back to Windows 7. Now it will no longer authorize my license I already paid for. I contacted Toshiba, Microsoft, and Tiger Direct for two or more hour increments over multiple days via chat support, phone, and e-mail.

    After 5 days with extensive hours of time lost, I now have to send it back to your company with ground shipping not next day air and wait for you to send me another. I asked your "customer service" if they could send me a return label with next day air shipping back to you. I explained my time constraints and need to get this resolved quicker because I am a college student and need it for 3 of my courses I am enrolled in. They said, "no you can only send it ground back to us". All of this is a huge waste of time and convenience and you don't even offer anything as simple as faster shipping back to them for a first (and last) time customer. The return label did not authorize pickup from my home. I had to print it out and drive 40 minutes to the closest drop-off location. I called to complain about that, and was told I could get a call from UPS in 3-5 days to set that up. Again, more inconsideration about my time table. I called again on 9/16/14 because I wanted to check the shipping status of the order I was sending back to see when you would receive it because the UPS website was not allowing me to track it.

    I was informed that it would be back in your possession on 9/17/14. I was also regrettably informed that it would take 3-5 days for you to inspect it and then ship the replacement out to me. Unfortunately, your company policy/procedures clearly have no concern or worry or care for the time already lost or inconvenience to the consumer. It has been a terrible amount of time and patience lost dealing with this issue. There is clearly a lack of regard to display customer service for a first time customer. You do not have 24 hour support. You do have 24 hour ordering and sales however. I contacted you and was told to call Toshiba or Microsoft to correct the issue. After days of calling your company, Toshiba, and Microsoft non-stop it turns out that I had to return it to you to have it replaced. I informed the customer service agent I was a student with time constraints and I didn't want to have to return it all because of a stupid serial key.

    To resolve the problem, I would like the following to take place: Please issue a price reduction/partial refund on this purchase. Please also offer the same shipping for returns/replacements the same as the item is shipped to the customer with pickup by the carrier within 1 or 2 days at a customer's house. Please process items returned to you faster than 3-5 business days to send replacements in a more timely manner - not only for first time customers, but existing ones as well. Please do not install further OEM software as OEM-SLP (system locked preinstallation). If there is a mechanical failure on the hard drive, installing a new one would present the same issue I have faced now with the key not being able to be authenticated by Microsoft. Microsoft does not sell Windows 7 keys any longer and Toshiba does not ship them with that model of laptop. If that is an issue from the Toshiba side, then refuse to resell their products unless they address this issue. Please figure out a way to offer 24 hour live support via chat or phone for these issues. Please get an outside consultant for how to train your employees and policy making department on customer service.

    I look forward to your reply and a resolution to my problem, and will wait until September 28, 2014 before seeking help from a consumer protection agency, the Better Business Bureau, or an attorney. Please contact me at the above address, e-mail address associated with my order, or by phone at **. After reading a lot of these posts it looks like I'm going to be hosed though. Good thing I can check the little box to have an attorney contact me about my complaint!

I asked for a supervisor several times but was never put into contact with one, finally the rep agreed to refund my money and send a call tag for the tablet I received, it has been 5 days and I have yet to receive a call tag or a refund.

Once I called in the person I spoke with said they could not give me 15 off because I used paypal. Nowhere on their website or in my email does it stated I can only use a credit card not paypal. The person on the phone even challenged me to read the terms and conditions and private policy and nowhere does it state on there that I would not be able to use the discount with paypal. So once I told him that, he goes and tells me "okay we will give you $15 gift certificate."

    January 15, 2014, I originally came in looking to buy RAM for a laptop upgrade. After looking in what associates call "the parts room" and not getting help, I looked for a manager. I found Jeff who was the tech manager there and he grabbed a sales associate who actually knew his stuff. The guys name was Thomas. I had an Acer aspire one and I knew I could upgrade the ram up to 4 but wanted to try 8. I asked Thomas if he knew if it would work and told me it should work. I asked if they installed ram and said they did for just $10. Doesn't include a full system check but only boot which was fine. Bought the ram, paid the labor and long behold it worked. There was a discrepancy with the price. The tag said $89.99 but it rang up as $119.99. They matched the price of the ram (shocking). Not too bad considering how much prices change at that store. After that Thomas asked if I needed anything else, and while I had him, asked about upgrading and rebuilding my PC. He quoted me $1400 with all the parts I wanted.

    I decided to pick his brain. I asked him why no sales associate wanted to help me. (I'm only 21 and often dress like a slum), he actually said some of the associates (he gave me specific named but I'll keep those disclosed) are not familiar with specific PC parts. Only a few people seem like they know what they're doing there. (Surprise surprise) he explained that corporate demands they meet goals for store services such as the extended warranty and antivirus. They also only work off commission. It seems this company puts a burden on their employees without proper training. This includes but is not limited to, correct customer service, product knowledge, logistics, motivation, and research tools. No wonder its a pain in the ** to get anything there at times.

    Regardless Jeff the manager on duty made sure I left satisfied, asked if I needed anything else. I went back months later to build a rad PC. A couple of things I asked Thomas (always will buy from him) if they could price match new egg and best buy prices. The case on newegg that I wanted was a corsair 750d and they had it on sale for $130, tiger direct had it for $159. They couldn't price match online stores because of the nature of the business. Online stores don't pay for rent, air conditioning and other such utilities. Local stores do. Makes sense. They were able to price match some Logitech headphones from best buy. Picked up G35's for a hundred bucks. However, during my transaction, Thomas thanked me and left. A very nosy employee asked me why I didn't get extended warranties on the builds. He then attempted to sell me $400 worth of warranty for all my parts, plus antivirus software. Probably this is where he makes his money if he I'd that hungry. I declined but he was forceful. I thanked him for the offer but I declined. Now I understand why this company is failing, they're greedy.

    Talking more to Thomas, he agreed that employees often misinform customers about services and need to be properly trained on clarifying specifics. Probably why the reviews for this place can be **. Continuity among stores is lacking. I feel like this company could be back to who they used to be if change started from the top down. Needless to say once you find a good associate from this place, don't bother with others. Be a wise shopper!

They made me jump through hoops for a good 2.5 hours, including conference calling my bank in on the call with their customer service rep and asking me to send them a copy of my lease as proof of residency. Not only that but they (without my permission) added the most expensive warranty onto my purchase (I was able to cancel it) and completely ignored my request for 2 day shipping, then had the gall to claim I had never ordered it in the first place (I ordered it on the phone with one of their customer service reps).

The person looked up the one I was referencing and immediately started saying it didn't have the keyboard and mouse so I showed him it did. He didn't look. Then he said he would talk to a supervisor.

    After a while, he came back on the phone and said they wouldn't match because it was a different color and the price Best Buy sold it for was below their cost. Well, seems like this is common with them. Guess that says it all. If other stores are buying for less then they buy. Everybody knows they can find it cheaper at the other stores. Way to go Best Buy.

    I am being fair on my reviews. I purchased a laptop on Saturday at 2pm. I got a confirmation email that my purchase was successful with an expected ship date.

Turns out, my credit card is ok (as I expected) but my shipping address is not on public records!? I buy from Amazon all the time and never had this problem before.

    A little more information: On Saturday, I call their customer service number just to ensure that the order is all set for arrival on Tuesday, I am transferred around then the line drops. I call back, inform the agent what happened then he decides to transfer me to the credit card department; it's now 2:58pm and the voicemail says the department is closed and I will need to call on Monday!? Today, Tuesday my call was dropped 2 times and the wait while "verifying" my address was a good 12 minutes. It takes a minute for a pizza order!

    I recommend a lot of people to Tiger Direct just like I used to for DELL but we all know what got DELL is that they got too big and dropped the ball on customer service.

    A few days ago I ordered a laptop at TigerDirect.ca and was disappointed by their services. I have noticed that I am not the only one who has faced the problem I had. I had placed my order on the 07/31/2014 and was happy to see an email send by Tiger saying my Order request was successfully received. Tracking information was given to me, as expected. Because I ordered on a Thursday and I had request a two day delivery, I didn't bother checking tracking information. It was on 08/04/2014 that I received a voice-mail (which I was unable to understand due to constant cutting) from an unknown source saying something about some item on hold. Now this call might not be related at all with my TigerDirect order because I had ordered some other items from other sources. But it got me worried enough to check my order status.

    Upon review I have noticed that my order was still not shipped and marked as followed by "Your order is being submitted to a third-party warehouse for fulfillment and delivery. You will receive a Shipping Confirmation email once it ships." In normal condition I would have given them a day or two. But because of the call I received earlier I decide it would be best to get in contact with them and ask them to clarify my order status. What was reveal to me was that my order ETA (estimate time availability) was 5 September 2014. Meaning they sold me a product they didn't have in stock. In some condition this would have been acceptable if I would have been notice (and if I wasn't going away to college in end of August!).

    Now back to my order status, To Drop Shipper which they describe as a submission to a third-party warehouse for delivery, which I believe mean that they don't ship their own product and have someone else do it for them. With that being said I suspect that they use Amazon as their inventory. This is a vague conclusion but upon looking for the exact same product on Amazon.ca it was also out of stock and this estimated date of availability was one to two months, just like TigerDirect informed me. So basically if you order from TigerDirect you are ordering from Amazon. I don't recommend anyone to order from TigerDirect and if you really want to do just look up on Amazon if your product is in stock.

    I was not able to call them afterward because today is a holiday. As of right now I am waiting to get my order cancellation confirmation. And I can now confirm that the ATE was not posted in any of the email send to me or during order purchasing (for those who are unfamiliar with the Auth-hold, this means that they ‘’froze’’ a certain amount of money from your account. No charge are really apply due to item not being ship yet).

    My overall rating of TigerDirect 2/5
    Ease of use 4/5
    Functionality 1/5
    Communication 1/5
    Customer to seller relation 1/5

    Customer Service 4/5

    I have dealt with TigerDirect for quite a while. I had always dealt with the same account manager. This person has since left for whatever reason. I started dealing with another rep who was very undependable. I was then transferred to another rep. I then bought two tablets from Tiger, both of which were defective right out of the box. I returned them and it took quite a while to get a credit for them. Both times, the tablets' shipping was not refunded. I had to complain about this several times. I finally got the shipping charges back for the first one. I am still to this date dealing with the problem of getting the shipping refunded for the second tablet.

    I then decided to give them another chance and ordered another tablet from them. It arrived. I then found the same tablet for about a hundred dollars cheaper. I asked them to price match - they refused; I then started getting unsolicited mail from other. Upon investigation, I found out that TigerDirect has taken my private information and without my permission has sold it to other companies. I did not give them permission to do this and have asked them to desist. I am writing this in order to warn others about their business practices. My recommendation is not to deal with Tigerdirect.ca. They cannot be trusted with your information. There are many other suppliers out there that will price match and won't try to keep your money when the product is not up to standard.

    Made an order 7/16/14 for a single product with two-day shipping. After six day (four business days) the product had yet to arrive and the tracking information provided within my account on TigerDirect had revealed to me that the item had yet to be shipped. I called customer support and told them of the situation. The person I was speaking to told me that the item was to be shipped directly from the manufacturer... However, he could tell that the item was not in stock. To my surprise as nothing was noted on the facade of the website as I was shopping for products. Seemingly more insulting, the Customer Service Rep. also mentioned that the service department had been in communication with the manufacturing regarding this product the day before I called them. Yet, not a single call was made to me the day before explaining the situation.

    I mentioned that I would not want to pay for the two day shipping if I were to keep the order - though the shipping price would stay as is because technically it will be two day shipping... from the day they get it back in stock. This might have been acceptable if I was aware the product was out-of-stock when I ordered it, though they did not seem to be concerned with the inherent differentiating characteristics of this situation. So I cancelled the order, though I am behind on my timeline... Thanks TigerDirect for the wonderful communication and a waste of my time.

    I bought a laptop on 07/11 and am still waiting for it. The order was confirmed but then on 07/14 I received 2 phone calls and an email stating that my order was on hold and to call a verification number. After spending several minutes waiting, an agent transferred to another to confirm my credit card information. I was not told when the laptop would arrive, I checked with my credit card company and I was billed on 07/11 (the day I made the purchase). On 07/16 I received a message that my order shipped. I checked the tracking number and discovered it was going to Illinois and NOT TO MY ADDRESS!!

    I called UPS to confirm and they said that Illinois was the location they were given it ship to. So I called Tiger Direct and they said the laptop was coming via 3rd party vendor. In this case, it came from Sunnyvale, CA - which is about 2 hours from where I live. The agent would not give me a delivery date - we called again and another agent said we would receive it by Monday (07/21). It did not arrive. I have attempted a couple of chat sessions and they are useless. They give you an approximate wait time but it appears that no one ever comes online and then all of the sudden you get a message saying "representative has already left this conversation" even though they never arrived!

    I started a chat session when I started writing this complaint and was given an approximate wait time of 1 minute - after 20 minutes I got the message, "representative has already left this conversation." In fact, I typed "Hello" in the window just in case and within 2 minutes I got the following message, "All available representatives are currently occupied. Your request could not be served. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please try again later or leave a message: Leave Message. Thank you!" I left a message yesterday and they never responded. I will trying calling again, but at this point, I have over $800 charged to my credit card for a laptop that I have no idea when I will receive it.

    I bought a laptop two days ago and paid for 2 day shipping. The order was confirmed. Then when we did not receive it. We received an email that it was on hold and we had to call a verification ph number. After waiting on hold for 14 mins the person transferred me to the credit card department. After waiting for several mins - theory disconnected me! I called back and had to repeat the process only to have them tell me they had to verify my information. They asked me the exact same info I gave when I ordered!!! And then put me on hold again for 9 more mins... It is crazy.

    It has been one month since I originally filed my complaint on June 9, 2014, and nothing has been done by Tiger Direct. July 15th--no reply so I am posting this message. July 8, I spoke with Supervisor Richard ** at 800-800-8300 ext. **. (Supervisor Kelly was not working when I called). He assured me that he would take this problem up with management and would definitely get back to me by email within 24 hours. My problem is with my Maylong M-270 tablet purchased from Tiger Direct on October 19, 2013 (one-year warranty) Order #**. All of a sudden it stopped working and I cannot get it repaired.

    I called Maylong's support line for the tablet many times. That number, as well as the Maylong website no longer exist. I called Tiger Direct's customer service rep Estelle on 6/9 and she promised to follow through and get back to me. Nobody did. I called on 6/16, and the cs rep was very rude and said it's Maylong's problem. Then she gave me a phone number and extension that she insisted was Estelle's line. It turned out to be a firm that wanted me to join a price club and get a $20 coupon for Tiger Direct.

    I called Tiger back (6/16) and insisted on speaking with a supervisor. I spoke with Supervisor Kelly at 800 800 8300 extension **. He said he would check with corporate about this situation (regarding an exchange or refund) and get back to me promptly. He never did get back to me. If I do not get a warranty exchange or refund, I intend to post this note at various places on the web, including Yelp, Wacktrap, the Tiger Direct's review page and Facebook page, as well as the BBB and the Florida Attorney General's consumer fraud office.

    I placed an order for an mp3 player on Tiger Direct. They waited hours and then sent me an email saying that they oversold the item, but don't worry, they were back ordering it and I would get one. A few days later I get ANOTHER email reassuring me I'd get the item because it was on back order. As a result, I ordered accessories for this item and then after not hearing anything for awhile, I called, got a customer service rep who promptly started yelling at me, treating me like an idiot child for BELIEVING their misinformed emails. After awhile I got a supervisor who offered me a credit for about 3x what I had ordered for, since the deal I was supposed to receive was low priced. But I went to look at the rest of their mp3 players and discovered that they didn't have any mp3 players of any kind of quality in their online store, AT ALL. So after looking at every single cheap poor quality mp3 player that Tiger Direct lists, I asked if I could acquire another mp3 player elsewhere and instead have the credit I was offered to be changed so I could get something ELSE since their mp3 players are all garbage.

    OF COURSE NOT! First, they list something and mis-sell it, and do not make it so once they sold out, they would not be able to sell more. Then they sent multiple reassurances telling me that they had ordered more and they would arrive soon and I would get one. It was Tiger Direct's mistakes that caused this whole problem, not anything I did. Then they had uninformed, rude phone people who made mendacious remarks and accusations based on their extreme lack of knowledge.

    If you want to have a good experience buying something, then AVOID Tiger Direct at all costs! You'll just end up offended by their customer service reps and cheated out of your money. They do NOT know what they are doing there, and anyone who spends their money there will end up being lied to and mistreated for the mistake of considering them honest sellers.

    While their website appears full of cost-saving options, their customer service is horrible. I specifically went there in search of a refurbished desktop, as I did not want to spend over $200 on it. After hours of searching on various sites, I found just about the best model/specs I could get within this budget. Again, the problem wasn't finding it online, it started right after I made the order.

    First - I indicated 2-day delivery. The package arrived after 4 business days. While part of this may be attributed to UPS, what TigerDirect is certainly responsible for is shipping me the wrong item. The desktop that arrived never looked like it was refurbished and on top of it all, was made from a much slower processor that I specifically picked. After calling about this, their agents treated me like I didn't know much about computers and automatically wanted to start the entire process over as if I needed special help in finding the right model. Once I convinced them I only wanted to return it at this point, they finally sent me the return authorization. The problems didn't stop there.

    I shipped everything back and called to make sure it was received. Their agents confirmed over the phone and said it would be 3-5 business days until my money was returned. After multiple calls and 12 days later, I finally got an automated message from them that they were releasing the funds and it they would be available in another 3-5 days. TigerDirect has held me and my $ up for 3 weeks, putting me right back when I started on this desktop search. Rude customer service and complete lack of responsibility. There's plenty of other sites that deserve your business - don't waste it here.

    I am wasting 15 mins of my life to warn others of this SCAM by Tiger Direct. Avoid purchasing from this place if you can. They had a $80 rebate on Dell laptop and $25 off on $100 or more dollars (if you purchase an item qualified). I have ordered in January 2014 and did not receive the item that qualifies until Mar end. After a number of calls (mind you each will have at least 10-15 mins wait period), they gave up and decided one day to cancel the order (without letting me know). When asked about the rebate, they said you can't avail that. Fine. With lots of fight I got back the shipping charges, they charged me for the item that was not shipped (Dell was with free shipping by shoprunner). 7 - 10 days later I receive the item (I thought it was complementary for the trouble they put me into -- I was going by other shopping sites standards -- Amazon, Newegg, or any other place than this **hole).

    They send me a manual billing. I call them to return the product and had to wait 20 mins before giving up. For a while I decided to do nothing about this and then I call the customer support to return the after couple of months. So they tell me that I have to pay for the shipping to return, since I kept it for so long (they don't consider the fact they took months to cancel the order). Regarding the rebate on dell.. I was supposed to send a UPC barcode, which I could not find on the box and they all the help I got from them was "look for it". Anyways, I lost that $80 too... The rebates, discounts they use to promote this is not really worth your time and effort. Eventually they will square with you and will make up all their money they ever gave you in rebates. SO BEWARE and avoid shopping from this place.
