    Purchased a $351 television with 1-yr. service plan. Paid extra to have the product shipped next day air. UPS never received the package. Called Tiger Direct on day of expected delivery. Spoke with Dave. He stated he was emailing the shipping dept. and requesting that they contact UPS and that if UPS could not find the item, another would be sent to me immediately the day of my call. I requested a phone or email confirmation of this action. Dave assured me I would get it. Next day, nothing from Tiger Direct. I had to call them again. This time talked with Paul. He tells me Tiger Direct initiated a search for the item and that if they didn't find it in 3 days another would be shipped. Then he told me, oops, because you purchased this using Bill Me Later, we issued a full credit back to your BML account.

    So in other words, I no longer have a "purchased" item. I asked Paul, if all these actions have already been done, why did Tiger Direct not contact me to let me know I was waiting for a purchase that will not come, and I had received no confirmation numbers that the order was cancelled, my account credited, I have nothing but the loss of $351 and a 1-yr. warranty to nothing! Customer Service reps lie out of both sides of their mouths. Now I have to not only re-purchase the item someplace else, but God only knows how long it will take to get this order credited off of my Bill Me Later account.

    I have ordered (Order Number: **) two items item #JEG-0274 and item #U12-42478 on 12/16/2013 and authorized Tiger Direct to debit $103.91 (includes shipping) from my Amex credit card. I have $30 cash back offer if I spend more than $100 at tigedirect.com in a single transaction. Tigerdirect.com is giving the below issues with my order and I am getting extremely frustrated.

    1. Whenever I contact their customer care number 800-800-8300, I am never getting answered. Their online chat agents are very rude and not answering properly.

    2. They generated invoice for item #U12-42478, charged my credit card $27.09 for this item and shipped this item alone without shipping another item #JEG-0274. I expected two items to arrive on the same day since I made a single order/transaction. Here I lose $30 cash back with Amex since they post two transactions for same order. Also my $20 mail-in rebate which was there for $100 or greater in single purchase will be denied since this invoice does not have another item.

    3. Their estimated delivery date was shown as 2 to 6 days that is 12/23/2013 when I had placed the order. But now order status is showing as "backorder" for item #JEG-0274. I believe backorder status is because of out-of-stock but now I am able to order the same item #JEG-0274 at tigerdirect.com. The item is showing as "in stock" and I am able to add this item in cart and do checkout. Here estimated delivery shows as Fri, Dec 7, 2013.

    I took all the screenshots as proof. When I had online chat with their agent, he/she was not responsible and trying to leave chat as soon as possible. His/Her name is Keith **. I am going to take below actions against tigerdirect.com:

    1. I am going to dispute $27.09 transaction with Amex since I authorized for $103.91.
    2. I received item #U12-42478 but I expected both items. If I don't receive my complete order within estimated delivery date what they promised then I don't need this item. I can not spend money to return this item. Tigerdirect.com have to pick up it at my home if they need it and if they are not able to fulfill my entire order.
    3. I am going to file complaint against tigerdirect.com in all social networks, BBB, FTC.

    4. Finally I am going to meet my lawyer to sue tigerdirect.com for all my struggle.

    My girlfriend purchased a new computer (HP) from these folks and also purchased a three (3) year service contract with Square Deal (from Tiger). The laptop ended up having problems with the power supply cable and after speaking with HP about the matter was sent a box from HP to send the laptop to HP for repairs (expected to take five to seven days). MORE THAN A MONTH LATER... and several emails from HP claiming the problem was an out-of-stock battery cable... HP offered to send her a "refurbished" computer. That's where I became involved. I called HP and they were like speaking to Duck Commander characters... so I called Tiger to see if they could be of help. After all, HP had the computer for more than a month and couldn't find or even make a new battery cable. I figured that since Tiger sold a lot of HP equipment, they might have a good number to call for help.

    Tiger could have cared less and in fact told me that I needed to contact Fair Deal (warranty folks) and not Tiger, whom she purchased the laptop from. Worse, I tried and tried to get through to Tiger on their "Customer Service and Support" line and could never get anyone to answer, nor could I get an online agent to answer their online chat feature. Bottom Line... think long and hard before dealing with these folks who could care less about their buyer after the sale. Buy from them and you are no longer anyone of value or importance.

    This is very well the worst internet-based electronics store out there. Here is my story. I purchased a TV on Black Friday. It is the same price everywhere, but Tiger Direct offers an extra $30 off if I pay with v.me. The TV shows up with the screen smashed and I have to return it. I am told they have a new TV ready to ship to me immediately.

    After a week I still did not receive a replacement TV after spending hours (literally hours) on hold to talk to someone I finally get someone who tells me they ran out of the TV's and that they wouldn't be in for another week and when they came in I wouldn't get my original extra $30 off. I finally get someone who will tell me that I WILL get that money off and that they would contact me personally when the TV's came in.

    Well a few days after I was told the TV's should be in, I talk to someone online and ask where mine is at. I am told that my order was cancelled, which I did not do. I was never contacted being told it was cancelled and the date my order was cancelled was only a few days after I talked to the supervisor on the phone. I am told that I cannot reverse the cancelled because v.me didn't except exchanges and it could only refund my money.

    Honestly I think the person I was in contact with today simply just cancelled my order so they wouldn't have to deal with me because they kept saying that it would be 2-3 days before I saw my refund on my statement, but it was over a week before today that she claimed my order was cancelled. I could have ordered from Amazon and had my TV weeks ago, not I will have to overpay for full price TV's if I want to get anything because of Tiger Direct and it's runaround that it gave me.

    I ordered 3 helicopters as Christmas gifts. I got an email saying 3 helicopters were shipped. Then I got a second email saying there was a delay. Then I got a third email saying they were on their way. Today I got 1 helicopter. When I went on-line to check, they are coming from three different places and the delivery dates are today, today and 12/20. So the e-mails were inaccurate.

    I called to ask if the other two were REALLY on their way and after listening to the recorded message about how valuable I was and how I would be helped shortly for 10 minutes I just hung up. So where are the helicopters? And why can't Tiger get their emails to match their shipping? And Why would you send one order for three items from three different warehouses scattered over a 1000 miles? The closest Tiger Direct warehouse is literally less than 15 miles from where I am sitting.

    Purchased a Surface 2 tablet with 256 GB of Ram. Today I received the Surface 1 with 256 GB or Ram. They sold me the keyboard for the surface 2 and when I called to tell them they made a mistake they told me they don't have the Surface 2. But the fact they tried to pass an older cheaper model on me that won't even work with the keyboard they sold me is a huge insult. I called customer support and was told maybe sometime in January I can have it and they should be able to get me the same price. Yes the same price I already paid for nothing. Merry Christmas now I have to go find something else for my son. Thanks for nothing Tiger Direct.

    I purchase an ASUS T-100 Windows 8 Tablet from TigerDirect on 12-17-2013 for their advertised price of $279. I purchased it believing that they were running a special holiday price. Well I received this email from them today: "Thank you for visiting our website and for your recent order **. Unfortunately, the item you ordered VSU-101819071 - Asus TZ3740 was listed with an incorrect price. We are therefore declining acceptance of this order and it is in the process of being cancelled."

    I made contact with their online chat service and they were about helpful as trying to return a used car to a used car salesman!!! They actually tried to sell me something else. How dare them to bait and switch tactic as way to address their error on the price!!! Well I was mistreated by Sears in 1981 over a car battery and still don't shop there. Guess what, TigerDirect is now on my no shopping list. Too many other reputable retailers out there to do business with one that will not honor their advertised price!!! TigerDirect shame on you!!!

    I ordered an HP Envy Rove on cyber Monday and by Friday I still hadn't heard anything. So I called and they said that it was shipping from a 3rd party vendor and they couldn't tell me anything about the order, but they could put thru a request to the vendor and find out when it would be shipping etc. Would be 24-48 business hours for a response. So I called once again on Tuesday of the next week and went thru the same process and they said it would be 24-48 hours for a response?? What! I said that it had already been that time frame. "Can you not tell me whether or not I'm getting the computer?? Where the heck is it?" "No, sorry can't tell you a single thing about your order"! Wednesday I called back and cancelled the order. They STILL could not tell me anything about my order. That same Wednesday I found the same computer $100 cheaper on the HP website, ordered it and it was shipped on Thursday (the next day). Tiger Direct sucks! Nowhere on the item page did it say anything about a 3rd party vendor and shipping delays....

    So I bought an external drive from TD. The price was marked down to $70 (fair price) with a mail in for another $10 off. 4myrebate acknowledged receiving my info, then after reviewing my submission said that the barcode was incorrect. They said to resubmit but with no other UPC to send in it was a moot point. Tiger Direct says they stand behind their rebates but all I got was the runaround. Tiger refers me to 4myrebate. They refer me back to Tiger, etc... Sent a certified letter to TD explaining my problem. They never bothered to respond. This used to be a good company. Don't know what happened to them, but I'll rethink dealing with them in the future. Not about money, it's about attitude.

    I bought an item from TigerDirect on 2013 Black Friday. The order was confirmed and my credit card was charged. After a week, no any update was received. I called custom service and was given a UPS tracking number by representative. But It turned out that was an invalid tracking number. At the meanwhile, they just silently canceled my order without telling me. After waiting for another week, I called it again and was told the order was canceled. Although the credit card was refunded but I lost opportunity to buy the item as gift for my parents. This apparently a fishing sale. They post a real good deal on Black Friday and just use an excuse to cancel it without any notice. Really bad sales practice.

    I would have posted here sooner had I known about this site. I bought an ASUS G75VW in May 2012 and it first had sound issues. Then it had spontaneous shut down issues. Unfortunately, TD only gives a 7-day return window. Seriously?! 7 DAYS! Especially for a computer!! TD is a RIP OFF! When I sent it into ASUS directly for repair, they told me that the hardware had been replaced with OLD (2009) parts but they wouldn't provide me with proof because they didn't want to get involved. Of course, TD said it was not true and since I didn't return it with their 7-day window, there's nothing they'll do about it. Now I'm out $2,000!!! NOT pocket change!!!

    Purchased an Infinity AVR UPS on Dec 2. Received it on 6. Unit was sent in manufacturer's box only and no other box around that. Opened box to find a physically damaged unit. Call customer support that evening - waited on hold for 48 mins, finally gave up and hung up. Called on the morning of the 7th - waited another 20 mins for an agent. Once I got an agent, his name was Angel and he was very rude.

    Basically, I was the bad guy even though they screwed up. Total time spent on the phone was 2 hrs 20 mins just to get a refund. I most likely will never buy anything from them again as customer service is everything and theirs is horrible. I have had a couple of minor issues with items I have purchased from Newegg in the past but they handle it and take care of things very fast. Tiger Direct needs to consult Newegg on how to run a business. In today's world - customer service is everything.

    I am a web designer/gamer and found an Asus laptop only offered from TD that was perfect and the big brother of my current Asus laptop. While at work, I sent my order early in the morning. I used my Dad's extra CC number as my CC (credit card) did not have enough credit left on it for a 1500 dollar purchase. I left the shipping address the same but put my name on it. That is when all hell broke loose.

    I got the email with my order number, and luckily saw I had to call for verification on the credit card. A whole hour later, I am transferred for 10 minutes to a kid who asks me questions their precursor check asked me. He eventually tells me he has to call my dad, goes to look up the number which I tell him my Dad's Home, Cell, and work number. Just told him if that is not enough proof I am birthed by my father then call him. He still has to call. My mom tells them I am indeed their child and the order gets pushed through.

    Lo and behold that all the time that it took my order to finally get processed that I missed out of the last few in stock and the laptop is on backorder. Looking at some of the other reviews here, Backorder to them means they may or may not get it in. EVER! So now I may have to buy a more expensive model because of this **. Never again will I buy from TigerDirect EVER! Check images below as well. Had to sit in chat for 20 minutes before someone finally picked up.

    I ordered a Samsung pad from Tiger Direct on 12/2. Received order confirmation email but no further logistic information since. So I contacted them and they told me that my order is somehow lost in their system that they cannot further process. I was told that I can only reorder if I still want the pad. The customer services cannot do anything else. Doesn't "order confirmation" mean "order is confirmed?" It's not my mistake that the order is gone in their system but they cannot do anything. This is a Cyber Monday deal. Now the item is out of stock. Honestly, if Tiger Direct is not capable of handling Cyber Monday, they shouldn't allow customer to purchase. Clearly, Tiger Direct lost one loyal customer.

    I ordered an in stock laptop and flashcard with TigerDirect on 11/26. They sent me the flashcard in a few days. However, I never got the laptop. I called them and had to hold for 37 minutes before they advised it was on back order and they had no idea if/when they would receive the product. It was meant to be a Christmas present so I can't hold out indefinitely. They never even notified me that they wouldn't be sending me the main item I ordered.

    I've done business with them in the past and it has gone fine, but this time was ridiculous. I'm not ordering from them again. They've lost a customer, and I don't think they care. My advice is to shop anywhere but Tigerdirect.com. If you do want to shop there, be sure you have a speaker phone so that when you call to cancel your order, you won't have to hold the phone for 30-60 minutes.

    I ordered several items with rebates on Black Friday 2013. Somehow they used my old shipping address on 2 out of 3 orders. Admittedly it could have been a browser cache or related issue on my side. I called within a few hours to correct the address and was told after several phone conversations over 2 days that they have no way to do that. They suggested I call UPS and the USPS to resolve the problem. I contacted UPS during that time and they said only the sender can change the address when it's an address not associated with me. I also only received a tracking number from TigerDirect for 2 of the 3 orders making it tough to track one of the packages. Eventually I went to my local post office to have them hold on to the packages with wrong addresses.

    When I went to fill out the rebates, I found out the invoice and return address had to match. I called TigerDirect and was told they couldn't update the address on the invoice and suggested I just use my old address. I explained that I moved a year ago and forwarding has expired. I asked what I could do about $90 in rebates I would lose? They apologized very politely and said "We don't control the rebate process. There's nothing we can do." When I asked to speak with a manager I was apparently accidentally disconnected. My only recourse is to return everything at my expense and lose the rebate deal.

    Beware of buying from TigerDirect. If everything goes well in the order process, you may be fine. If things go sideways, their customer service is not helpful unless your issue is addressed by their very narrow support process flowchart. Representatives and their managers have no latitude to fix out-of-the-box problems and there seems to be no way to escalate any higher. They were not empathetic to my problems and did not resolve them to my satisfaction. I will not shop with TigerDirect again.

    I ordered a tablet on cyber Monday from this company and wanted to cancel my order almost immediately after I ordered it because I found it cheaper on amazon. So I try to log into my account at td and see that it is not in my order history yet. I wait an hour and it is still not there so I called customer service. I waited for 43 minutes to speak to someone. He told me that the system was overwhelmed and that he could not cancel the order until it updated. He said it would be 4 hours and that if I liked he would write down my order number on a piece of paper and cancel it if he was on shift and remembered to do so. Those were his exact words I kid you not. Anyway like a fool I said ok. 4 hours later I call again and get the same answer from someone about how I need to wait a few more hours. 15 hours go by and they still tell me I need to wait four hours for the system to update so that they can cancel my order. What is really going on is that they are stalling so that the item will ship and I'll be charged. I asked politely on their Facebook page about what was going on with my order and they blocked me and deleted my post and any other negative ones left by other people.

    First off, a bit of history. I am a computer repair and construction technician and did business with Tiger Direct's business to business department for years. I then switched to doing Graphic Design using Photoshop amongst the multiple other programs. After upgrading to the new version of Photoshop I found it needed lots of ram and a 64bit operating system to stop its crashing whenever I made an advanced design. Now for my problems with Tiger Direct.

    My 5yr old flat screen monitor died and it had to be replaced so I thought I would do both things at once and upgrade my system to meet Photoshop's needs. I purchased a new style monitor from a formerly reputable company only to find that the monitor didn't come with anything, no manual, driver disk or color profile which is most important to designers. I had to download the manual from the manufacturer and still, the monitor did not display proper colors so back it went after 2 wasted weeks. My next monitor was great and worked perfectly as soon as it was plugged in.

    I also ordered components to upgrade my existing computer which included a power supply, RAM, a motherboard and a solid state hard drive. I was stunned when I received the parts and found that the power supply had cabled 4" too short to reach the connectors on the motherboard and then found that the motherboard itself was defective as the latch that locks in the processor dragged the processor out of its slot and bent the motherboard pins when it was locked down. I called Tiger Direct but all they would do is send me back the same parts so I had no choice but to send back the first 3 out of 7 boxes of multiple parts that had to be returned to them. This is when I found out that Tiger Direct was offering components from Chinese companies that couldn't care less if their parts worked even brand new out of the box. I did research after that and my next purchase had to be what's called a "Barebones" kit that includes a case, motherboard, RAM and a power supply. I no longer trusted them to sell me separate parts that would fit.

    After receiving the "Barebones" kit I found that the motherboard which had 6 connections for the new style hard drive called SATA came with a power supply with only 3 power connections for those drives and 6 older style power connectors that couldn't be used. The power supply went back also. Then I found that the motherboard was so poorly made it had to go back also and a new different brand ordered. All in all I had to build 5 complete machines and then tear them back down to ship the bad parts back to Tiger Direct.

    It's been 4 months without my computer now and many days on end of free labor to find that Tiger Direct doesn't care what brands or components they stock anymore. I lost 2 Graphic Design projects and was so frustrated with Tiger Direct that I made a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. That got me nowhere after finding out that they found it acceptable that I spent weeks of labor and received multiple boxes full of very bad parts but they accepted the offer from Tiger Direct to send them back everything with no compensation for all my lost time and business. The complaint was closed.

    In ending, just let me say that if you are considering buying from Tiger Direct, please go to the product's manufacturer website to find out if they are Chinese or if there are complaints about their products anywhere. Don't trust the descriptions of their products either. They are not complete and you end up not knowing what you're getting. I am currently looking for another company to purchase my computer parts from in the future.

    The company sells what is advertised as "refurbished" computers but are actually old, defective PCs that should have been scrapped. I bought what was advertised by TigerDirect as one "refurbished" Dell PC in June or July 2013, order# **. Payment for $395.00. When received, the machine would not work. I noted that the case was packed with old dust and dirt that old PCs sent it accumulate over their lifetime. This machine was exchanged and I next received machines that was an older, and crappier brother. That PC was exchanged only for me to receive an even worse PC machine and one that did not fit the ordered configurations. That one was returned and I now find myself with yet another non-working old, (Order# **) Dell PC that should have been scrapped, not resold as "REFURBISHED".

    TD refused to refund and will only send me yet another "refurbished" piece of uselessness. This is costing me money in time and effort in dealing with these useless PCs. TD's response was "Too bad, this is what you get." So I am complaining to BBB and anyone else to address this issue. The lack of concern for their sales of these useless PCs is appalling. This is so blatant, and based on the number of similar complaints, I now have discovered, it is most likely a criminal act by TigerDirect that needs investigation by the Florida Attorney General's office. I want my money returned without any more of these useless PCs being sent to me to waste my time.

    I bought a refurbished laptop. Right out of the box the spacebar did not work. I could not reach anyone at Tiger Direct. I was on hold for an hour and in their chat room "all agents were busy, try again later". Frustrated I decided to return the unit. I tried to get a return authorization and it would not allow for a refund even though their site policy states refund is 14 days. The manufacturer is servicing but I will now be without this new computer for 30 days or more. Tiger Direct should never have shipped the laptop with a defective spacebar. And Tiger Direct was of no help. I will never purchase from them again.

    Here's a re-cap: I ordered a new LED TV. Paid over $700 for it. 11 days later I get an email that says the TV I ordered was returned to the sender. Apparently, UPS broke it. OK, not Tiger's fault. Fair enough. Tiger sends a second TV. It arrives and has severe screen bruising and the remote didn't work. I returned it. At this point, it had been a full month that Tiger had my $700+ and I have nothing. Tiger sends a 3rd TV. This time the TV arrives with none of the components that should be included. It was just the LED panel; no base to stand it upon, no remote, no cables, no manual - Nothing but the led panel. Useless. Meanwhile, on the outside of the box is a big sticker that says the contents were verified by an employee at Tiger and each of the item's check boxes have been checked off as if they were in the box. They weren't.

    I call Tiger and they tell me they'll send all the missing pieces. Another 9 days goes by before I finally get the missing components. Except, what a surprise, they sent me the wrong remote. Another 7 days goes by before the correct remote arrives. By this time it has been nearly 50 days since I paid Tiger Direct 700+ dollars and I just now had received a TV with the proper components and accessories. Except, oops, horrible screen bruising. Even worse than the second TV they sent me. It was pretty much unwatchable - any dark scene on screen was impossible to make out with the screen bruising.

    So I returned it for a refund. That was nearly 3 weeks ago. Two weeks ago to the day (14 days ago) I received an email saying they've received my returned item and I'd be getting a full refund within 3-4 business days. Last night, the 13th day after receiving the refund email, I called Tiger. The customer service agent I spoke with spoke as though no refund had even been attempted. He put me on hold while he "processed (my) refund" and then told me it would be "3 to 4 business days" before I'd see the refund on my card.

    Today is day one after this most recent attempt to get the absolute bare minimum in customer service from this joke of a company. In total, it's been more than 2 months since I paid Tiger Direct 700+ dollars and I have nothing to show for it. I'm left wondering if/when I'll see my money back. Avoid Tiger Direct at any cost. Of the dozen or so Tiger employees I spoke with throughout this ordeal, not a single one of them has managed to either do what they said they would do and/or been able to provide any useful solution or assistance. Every single employee involved with my transaction, from the person who verifies the contents of boxes before they ship to the person who initiates refunds, has failed at their task. It's clear from this experience that Tiger is in serious need of corporate restructuring and retraining. Hopefully, the most recent person I spoke with will break this dismal trend.

    I bought a computer item from Tiger Direct on 17 August 2013. I paid for it, including shipping. The order processed, debited from my account, and was sent to a drop shipper for fulfillment. It stalled at the drop shipper for several days, finally marking as shipped on 21 August. UPS tracking indicated that the item made it to my town and was out for delivery, but then was recalled by the sender. I was never contacted. I initiated contact through email and Twitter to Tiger Direct asking them to look into why this had happened. I received a response half a day later that they had cancelled my order due to a price mistake, and that I would receive my money back in a further 5-7 days.

    Responding that this was unacceptable garnered me a promise that the refund would come in around 3 days, but I am very unsatisfied by this failure to honor advertised prices and lack of communication. A retail store would not check a customer out, bag their purchase, and then stop them once they'd gotten to their car and snatch the item back, promising a refund at some later date. Once the sale has been completed at an advertised price, it is dishonest to not follow through, particularly when all the error was clearly on the part of the company.

Luckily, I have my old laptop to file this complaint and anything important is saved on my flash drive but to say they "refurbish" a laptop to have it die in 5 weeks? WTF? There is NO WAY they did anything to this computer other than delete the problems there and install Windows 7.

    If they bothered to actually do real diagnostics, they would have found the hard drive was failing. Of course they won't do anything and referred to me. They gave me this phone number "Joy Systems." I called them and I have to wait 30 minutes to talk to a tech guy? Why? My hard drive is bad.

    My dad bought my son a computer from Tiger Direct. What they shipped to my son was an unusable computer. The computer was supposed to be refurbished and have Windows 7 on it. What we got was a 15-year-old computer that didn't have enough memory to install Windows 7. My husband tried to install it, but it said "Out of memory" almost instantly. When it asked for the key for the Windows disc, the key came up as pirated (or it said it was an illegal copy or something along those lines). So my husband tried to remove the disc, and the driver actually ground the disc down. When he finally got it out, it looked like someone scraped it across barbed wire.

    So I immediately contacted their customer support and told them about the problem. They told me they would email a return shipping label. They never did. After a week of waiting for the email, I had my dad contact them and they finally sent it to him instead. I returned the computer, and my dad ordered a different one. What I got this time was just as bad. The whole case is bent and pieces are falling out. It doesn't even turn on. They sent it to me in that condition. The box it came in is completely intact, and it was held in place with Styrofoam blocks. It wasn't damaged during shipping.

    Now we have to pay another $30 to ship the second computer back to them. So now I'm out $60, and my dad is going to have to try to get his money back yet again. I am fed up with this company. I will make sure everyone I know is told about this and warn them never to use Tiger Direct!

So that ruled out that the old motherboard and processor were fine. The following day, I wanted to return the motherboard because I had no use for it. Apparently, me not knowing, I couldn't return the hardware for a refund or store credit. I asked to speak with the manager but the assistant manager was an ** and didn't want to refund me in any way and told me that all the policies are on the receipt. Nowadays, who in the hell reads the receipts other than to verify if anything was overcharged or missed? This type of policy should be noted by the cashier and told to the consumer that this type of item isn't refundable or given store credit.

It was shipped to the wrong address. I caught it but instead of redirecting, they had UPS send it all the way back to them in IL when it was already in CA. CS told me they would ship out a replacement for delivery tomorrow. I called again today to check on it only to find out that nothing has been done or shipped. Now they tell me they won't ship until they receive the other back - exactly opposite of what the CS rep told me yesterday. Now, I am being told the best they can do is ship another laptop out and the soonest I can expect delivery is another week. They were uninterested in providing anything but the most limited service. I won't be shopping there again. If you order from Tiger Direct, pay close attention to your order and do not expect to receive it anytime soon.

    I saw a Dell laptop online with this company for $680 and called the nearest retail outlet to me in Houston, Texas. When I called the store, I was told the price online would be good through Sat. and I wanted to purchase it at this time. I was told I could not pay with a credit card except for the in store purchase. And the computer would be reserved for me when I came to the store on Sat.

    On Sat., I arrived at the retail outlet. No computer had been reserved, the price was now $100 higher and no one ever remembered speaking to me the day before. When they finally found the person I spoke to, via them calling around and finding him, that person said he never promised anything, especially the price and reserving the computer for me. The manager said, "Sorry, this is the price today! Take it or leave it!" I mentioned that I was a first time customer and if this was the way they trusted customers I'd never come back. He said, "Well, that's okay".

    I went to Micro Center and ended up spending a lot more money on a better computer and rec'd great customer service. So if you wish to deal with Tiger Direct, be prepared to be served up to the Tiger, because this truly is a company that is not interested in customer service, or making money.

    Beware of these companies: Tiger Direct, Comp USA, Circuit City, Global Industrial, Nexel, Misco, Infotel, Global Computer Supplies, Inmac WStore, Speed Gifter and Worldwide Rebates. All these names operate under a company called Systemax, Inc. Comp USA and Circuit City were consolidated with Tiger Direct in 2009 and 2012. We cannot see that there can be any difference in operations in any of the above affiliates as they are all owned and operated by the same company Systemax, Inc. This post is about our nightmare with Tiger Direct. I will explain in this post the details of our ordeal with them and the outcome.

    First off, our company is a computer system build service. We provide companies with high end hardware to perform high end task like everyday workstation programs to high end graphics design, medical lab screeners and other software. We do not build gaming or retail systems. We recently purchased 2 items from Tiger Direct totaling $5,218.76. This was our first experience with Tiger Direct as we usually deal directly with manufacturers. We placed the order on Friday morning, April 26th at 9:00AM to be exact, and paid for 2-day rush shipping. Remember this part for later. Their billing department called our office at 10:52AM that same day and we contacted our bank via three way call to verify the payment and confirm we had authorized the purchase. We confirmed the order with our bank and the service rep. We were then told by the service rep all was good and the order would now be processed and shipped.

    We thought to ourselves, "Well, it will not ship until the following Monday or Tuesday the next week." We were okay with that being we placed the order on a Friday. Well that next Tuesday, April 30th, we went to their website (Tiger Direct) to check on the status of the order. This is where the nightmare all starts. When we checked on the status of the order, it said that the order was placed and that it would be shipping from a third party drop shipper. We were to allow 7 to 10 days for processing and shipping, and the status was marked as not shipped. Remember the 2-day rush shipping we paid for). We proceeded to call their customer care number to inquire about the 7 to 10 days.

    I talked to an Aron. He repeated the same thing we had just read online and that the shipping would be from the time the drop shipper processed the order and/or shipped it. We explained that this order was for a client build; that we were on a tight time frame; and that we were under the impression that the order would be shipped and we would receive it in a few days. He continued to say that the drop shipper is an independent and that our order would be shipped as soon as they processed it. At this point, we are a bit frustrated as you may imagine. We asked him to just cancel the order being it was not shipped at this point. He asked us to hold. He came back on and told us that we could not cancel the order at this point.

    We asked him why we could not cancel the order. He told us that the order had been placed and that there is nothing they can do about it at this point. He did say that if we did not want the order, to just refuse the order when it arrived and that we would get a full refund when the items were returned to the drop shipper. Now as you can imagine, we were a bit upset. We needed the two items for a client of ours, so we went to Newegg, placed an order for the exact same two items and paid for next day air (a bit pricey, but we needed the items). These shipped on that same day, April 30th. By Wednesday, May 1st, the items were at our door and all was good with our client.

    On Friday, May 3rd, the items we ordered on Tiger Direct had arrived although the status on their website still said they had not be shipped yet. Here is the thing: these are two items with a value of $5,218.76 and there was no signature required. If we had not been at the office, the driver would have left the packages at the door and we would have had to get an RMA and had to go through the whole return process. Well after refusing the items on May 3rd, they were returned to the drop shipper and were received back in their warehouse on Monday, May 6th. We thought we would see the refund of our money show up in our account. We contacted their customer support again and was told by an Erin that we would see the refund in about 3 days.

    Well, not counting the weekend, 3 days went by and still no refund. We contacted their customer support yet again on May 9th and was now told by a Martin that it would take 5 days, and that the refund should be by May 13th. Okay, well Monday, May 13th, had arrived and still no refund. So yet again we contacted their customer support. This time we talked to a Daniel and was told by him that it would take another 3 days for the refund to show in our account, May 17th. At this point, we all got together and decided that it would be in our best interest to consult our attorney for collection. Well, I personally wanted to try one more time, so I called their customer support and asked to speak to a manager about the refund. The manager's name was Alex.

    I explained the whole thing to him. He said he had talked to Daniel and that the items were showing in their system as being returned to stock, and that they did not know why the drop shipper has not processed the items for a refund. He indicated that they were going to go ahead and process the refund and deal with the drop shipper later (like they were doing us a favor), and that the refund will show on our account in about three days (broken record). Here it is the 17th of May and still no refund. After some investigation and digging, we were able to contact their so-called corporate office and was assured by someone named David that we would get a full refund. We were also told that this refund would take yet another 3 to 5 more days. When we asked why it would take another 3 to 5 days, we got no reply and were hung up on.

    We are not sure what the drop shipper has to do with them processing a refund on a product purchased on their website, but it seems that they really have no idea what they are doing. As system builders and dealing with thousands of dollars of equipment every day, our clients are our lifeline. It is absolutely imperative to make our customers feel appreciated and show them total respect and honesty. Needless to say, we will definitely not be ordering anything from this company in the future. It is worth the extra few bucks to ensure that the items are shipped as promised and that, as a customer, we are treated with respect and honesty.

    Tiger Direct has disrespected and lied to us in more than one conversation. We have 12 employees in our company. We had a conference with them and told them that if anyone in our company orders anything from any of the affiliates of Systemax, Inc. listed above for our company or a project working on or under our company, they would be fired on the spot. This problem has been turned over to our company attorneys and we will be seeking restitution along with a refund of money not yet seen. Our advice is do not do business with any of the affiliates listed above owned or operated by Systemax Inc. or be treated the same way we have been treated.

    P.S. Our company records and saves all calls, chats and email conversation for quality assurance. In this scenario, we have all recorded calls, chats and email correspondences with Tiger Direct.

    I purchased a laptop and after 2 weeks, it stopped charging. I had purchased a one-time key for Microsoft office from Amazon - as Tiger Direct's price was not competitive. I contacted customer service to see if there was something I could do to make the computer charge. They were willing to replace the computer but not the Microsoft Office - nor address how to ensure that they would wipe the hard drive. So essentially, I would have more than $700 into the computer.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor and the customer service tech put me on hold and then came back. I told him that I wanted a supervisor. She told me this was a small problem. But if I wanted the computer back with the same software I had put on it, they wouldn't help me. I could however contact HP directly. She was very condescending and kept telling me that their offer was "a good solution". I told them - that was fine. I will deal with HP directly but will not deal with them again and informed her that I would use forums like this to provide complaints.

    I submitted an online order with a wrong address, and immediately reached out to the customer service agent to correct the address. The customer service agent called Mikelson ** told me it will be taken care of. The next day, I am surprised to find that the order is on its way to the wrong address, and because it’s eco-shipping, Tiger Direct cannot change the delivery address anymore. It is gross negligence for Tiger Direct not to do anything after I told them about the address problem, which was just minutes after the order was submitted online and long before the order was shipped. Now, Tiger Direct asked me to go to the wrong address to pick it up. Would you open your door to a stranger who says he wants to pick up a package? Not to mention the numerous follow up calls I made to resolve the issue. I hate to burn the reputation of a vendor because of one bad employee, but unfortunately most of their customer service agents talk with a very bad attitude.

    My nightmare with Tiger Direct: So I placed an order for an external hard drive. I checked my emails 30 minutes later, looked at my order confirmation email and strangely enough, my order was showing shipped to a strange address in Oklahoma (I live in CA), and my billing address was some Military P.O. Box address, neither of which I had entered when ordering. Unfortunately, it was too late to call so I shot an email off and called them in the morning. Although I called early, it wasn't early enough. And by the time I got through, my package was supposedly in their ship bins already, and they would try to retrieve it.

    They offered to ship another one "just in case", and I was dumb enough to say yes. They were not able to recover the package in their ship bins headed for the wrong address. Long story short, I have now learned if the wrongly shipped package does not go to a decent and honest person who decides to do the right thing and return it, I will be held financially responsible for their crappy computer glitch. Basically, I may have to pay for 2 hard drives but will only get 1. I'm now waiting to hear that hopefully the package gets returned. If it doesn't, I will RA the other one and either way, regardless at this point I’m so sick over this. I will never order anything again from TD. This feels like gambling.

    I bought a huge assortment of equipment and gear from TD, and of course a majority of the items came with lots of rebates. I used to always get scammed for my smaller rebates, but the larger majority of item rebates I'd fair well. I needed a lot of stuff, etc. and was on a very strict budget of course due to who was financing it. They sometimes have rebates averaging $70+ on some items and sometimes even more, but rarely for what I needed. Needless to say, I was doing a build and spending a lot of money.

    In the end, I ended up finally after several months of returns and runaround had all my equipment. I called first and made sure I was okay with the rebates. And even though they refused to walk me through it with emails and faxes/pic details, I send the stuff anyway to them to correct. I never got a reply so I called. TD wasn't handling all the rebates but said it all looked good, forms, files, paperwork, barcode cut outs, etc., etc. I also once sent an entire box so as not to miss a rebate and bam, they refused the rebate due to the box, even though it said nothing that time about not sending in the entire box which was small.

    Anyways, in the end, TD and all their affiliates selling through them in one fashion or another denied all my refunds and rebates which totaled about $1,100. The only thing was this was under a government contract, and I was being comp'd for my own funds as well as using several cards from the contractor. After 6 weeks of runarounds and then flat out denials, I handed in the entire package/profile to the contractor which was in liaison with the government branch. It took a matter of 4 days and not only did they cough up all the rebates, they even added interest and a very large thank you, thank you, sorry, so sorry letter.

    I someday may end up with a copy of that letter, or at least their petty grovelling and then I can post that. They do not care about their customers because they have millions of customers who never ever stop buying from them. The cult hero worship of places like this and Newegg, etc., etc. is mind boggling. In the end, try to find a friend that has something to do with something relative to the government. Go through them in any way you can and then all it takes is a call or two if that and they bend over backwards and will do anything you ask. They are scum lazy thieves, but they have what we need some/most times, etc. So always have a plan B to get your refunds and rebates.

    What a total clueless tech manager. I went to pick up my Comp Tower and waited for someone to check me out. You have 5 guys sitting in the office laughing while you have 3 folks in line trying to get checked out. I have to raise my voice to get some service. Someone came out, started to help and walked away in the middle of ringing me up. So yes, another guy came and the sale was not going through. He said it must be my card, so they called. It's not my card. It's their system at the tech dept not working. Scary thought of thinking I brought my tower here to get it fixed and they are unable to fix a register. So after asking for a manager, this short, bald man came and was totally clueless on what to do.

    After wasting 45 minutes of my life, some young kid figured it out. The manager was a joke, standing there thinking he knew what was going on. Totally clueless! I'm sure he at his age still lives with his mother or has 5 cats. Worst manager I have ever came across in my life. I used to work in retail, but then I got a real job and moved on. I will be moving on to Best Buy when I have any computer issue as CompUSA is a place I will never walk into again. I now see why they are closing for a second time in 10 years!

    So one day I wanted to order a nice new gaming rig. I’d been on this gaming laptop for a little over a year and just miss the horsepower my old gaming tower had; after a year or so, it had been removed from technology updates, so I figured it was time to upgrade. At first I started at Newegg, but they did not really have anything that tickled my fancy and I did not want to build my own, so I went to TigerDirect and found the computer I’d been looking for at the price of amazing stature. I go place my order. Everything is good so far.

    So now I wait, and wait and wait. I go online and check with customer support to see what is going on. It has been a week and my computer is still not shipped. All it says is "to drop shipper", which in this case is iBuyPower. The really, really odd thing here is that the site has this as "in stock", so why the wait? So finally I got an answer on the 8th day saying it was going to ship tomorrow, on the 9th day. I was okay, great, and since I paid for 2-day shipping, it should be here by the weekend. Well, the status on the 9th did not change and still was not shipped.

    So I waited, and on the 10th day, the order status says shipped! Great stuff right? Wrong. I was excited and then I gave it a second look. My computer left California and got shipped to Iowa; as I live in Washington State, I found this odd and called UPS. They said that package is going to Illinois. Upon further investigating, that is where TigerDirect warehouse is! Now, I am getting frustrated and a bit ticked. I got online to talk to someone again and they said that the shipment is a cross shipment and “When it arrives to us, we will ship it out to you.”

    I do not think he knows what cross shipping is. This is not a RMA or defective item. It’s brand new. That looks like it got built from iBuyPower and they send it to TigerDirect who then in turns sends it to me? This makes no sense, and after all, TigerDirect claimed they had this in stock, so you would think the item would be at their warehouse where my computer is shipping to!

    As of right now, there is no ETA. My computer has not even arrived at the warehouse yet. And then they will get it, take 24 hours to process it, and then send it out. No wonder some of the computers get broken if they practice this method of shipping it all over the country before the owner gets it. I get the runaround and I feel as if I got cheated out of my 70 bucks for shipping expedited air. The site is deceptive on what is in stock and what is not; they don't tell you anything nor communicate with you, on your order. They were happy to take my money but not happy to ship the product. This will be my last order with them. I just hope the computer is good to go and has no issues. I do not want to deal with RMAs with them.

    I ordered my power supply ($108.50) on 11/24/2012. The UPS tracking said that it was left at the front door. But I didn't have it. Nothing was left at the front door. So I sent email back to GlobalComputer three times. No one replied back except an auto reply that said "Thank you for... Emails that require a response are ordinarily responded to within 24 hours of receipt; however, due to the seasonal increased business volume, it might take us a little bit longer." Still, no one replied back, so I called GlobalComputer where I ordered. I talked to Jack who seemed helpful because this is not his department. He told me that he will inform the Director of Customer Care.

    I followed up with another three emails and called Kevin. He suggested calling UPS claims department to file a claim for package lost. He told me he couldn't do anything at his end. So I called UPS; UPS agent called GlobalComputer to address the issue, but with no success because nobody picked up the phone. So UPS agent suggested I contact the company and tell them to contact UPS directly regarding the issue. I emailed all the information that I got from UPS to Jack. He told me that he had escalated my issue. It seemed nothing had solved. I emailed Jack back again about what was going on with my order and at the same time, I also sent a claim with CC company. CC company credited me back. I thought it was done. But then on 1/11, I got a package from the company and I thought they sent the replacement to me. But it wasn't because they also sent me a bill for $99.99. I sent it back to them with their RMA#.

    Then CC company recharged me the amount of $108.50? I tried to call GlobalComputer/TigerDirect several times but nobody picks up the phone. So I emailed them and a week later, I got an email that suggested calling UPS Claims Department, and again UPS will not open investigation unless GlobalComputer/ TigerDirect contact them directly. To this point, I am tired of the runaround. I am wondering is this their business practice. That is not fair. I paid for a merchandise, plus I had to pay for returning merchandise that I don't want or they charge me again. And still now, I got nothing but anger and frustration.

    On 2/28/2011, I bought a TigerDirect PC for a total of $1921.00. $400 of that was for 24-hour onsite repairs for 3 years. This past fall (2012), my computer started telling me I was having a processor problem/ CPU issue. When I called TigerDirect, they said they had no representative in my area and I would have to send it to Illinois for repair. I said that’s unacceptable and that they could refund my $400 or pay whatever a local repair store would charge. They refused. I called numerous times and asked to speak with someone further up the chain and was refused. Service was rude and I was obviously an irritant, not a customer, now that they had my money. I even took the unorthodox approach of sending a Facebook message to the CEO David Sprosty but was, of course, ignored. I am a minister and made sure the letter was polite and informative. So I have a $1,900 doorstop, and TigerDirect has my money and no accountability.

    I ordered about a dozen items and everything went well. I received an order confirmation for a separate order for one item on 1/21/2013. I didn't get a shipment confirmation and heard nothing for over a week! I needed the item for a very important client. I inquired and they got back to me, letting me know it was back ordered and they would get it out ASAP but that was all the info. So I waited and waited. I didn't get more info for another week, so 2 weeks total. They said it was still backordered. After almost two more weeks, I just got an e-mail saying the same thing and that I have priority whenever they may get the unit. My problem isn't so much the running out of stock. It happens but it's the long wait after ordering instead of letting me know to go elsewhere; also, keeping me on the hook when it's reasonable to think they have an idea of a timeline when their supplier (Engenius) would deliver more. I still have no idea if and when after almost a month.

    I recently bought a computer laptop through Tigerdirect.com. The laptop arrived quickly and I had no issues. However, I noticed a price change of $150 shortly after the purchase. I contacted Customer Service to see if I could retrieve a refund since it had been less than 30 days since the purchase. I was not able to get a representative on the phone as I had waited over 20 minutes. So I waited online for close to 20 minutes to speak to someone by live chat. The representative stated that I would receive the $150 refund and receive a follow up email within the week from customer service.

    I waited for over a week and also checked the credit card I used to see if an adjustment was taken. I didn't receive either. After calling and holding yet again for 20 min. for someone to pick up the line, they told me my request had been denied and they don't offer price protection which is their definition of refunds for computers. I was extremely upset that I received false information from the customer rep initially. I asked to speak to the supervisor. I was placed on hold again for close to 8 minutes only to find out that, "He is busy; please email him."

    I emailed the supervisor my concerns and was displeased and have yet to hear back. I wrote an additional email to the company and received what looked like a standard email of, "We apologize for the inconvenience but your request was denied. If you have additional questions please contact ..." I was furious receiving this email as they didn't once address the concerns of what I wrote about how I felt the situation was handled with customer service. It was empty and cold and makes me believe this company is swindling money from honest customers like myself.

    As a customer, I should be treated as an individual. Standard emails that don't address anything I wrote in the email is an insult to the customer. I wrote back to customer service how displeased I was with the cold non-sympathetic email. All I received back was the same, "We are sorry for the inconvenience," and a copy and pasted policy of their price protection. I never asked to see the policy. I described how displeased and upset I was with how my situation was handled and the type of customer service I received. I complained about the wait time just to reach a representative and the false information I received initially. None of this was addressed.

    As someone who worked in retail for 9 years, the customer always comes first and you need to be empathetic to their concerns. I now understand their policy, but the way I was ill-treated, misinformed and lack of respect, empathy and lack of addressing their poor customer service skills was never addressed.

    I have so far experienced many of the issues that have been echoed by many reviewers on this website. I ordered a refurbished Dell laptop off TD. Here is a list of issues I have experienced so far: First, I received an e-mail from TD stating that my order had shipped, only to find out through interacting with UPS that my package was received by them and shipped 3 days after this e-mail landed in my inbox. My order qualified for free shipping, but I paid $10 for UPS ground as I was in need of a new computer. I will say that other than this, I had no other shipping issues, but I feel like TD wrongly informed me as to when they actually transferred my package to UPS.

    Second, the customer service is unbelievably inconvenient and just downright terrible. I have only managed to reach an agent via live chat once after many, many attempts and browser refreshes. You are unable to wait in an online queue for the next available agent, so it is unclear if you will ever reach one. Third, long wait times on the phone; over 30 minutes of waiting on the phone during the 2 times I called them. Fourth, confusing directions. My laptop appears to have a faulty backlight, rendering the screen's maximum brightness too dim for me to use. The TD website initially directed me to a third party company (discountlaptopshop.com, no working website = sketch). Apparently, this company refurbished my laptop. They gave me instructions on how to send in my laptop for a replacement/repair. I told the rep that I would consider the option because I wanted to exchange for a different laptop model. The rep then proceeded to tell me that exchanges/returns are handled through TD. Frustrating runaround.

    After talking with that 3rd party rep, I got in touch with a TD live chat agent. I Inquired about their exchange/return policy and I told him that I wanted to exchange for a different laptop model. The conversation ended when I informed the agent that I would contact them again when I had selected a different model. Two days later, I have been unable to reach a rep via live chat or phone, and I fear that my return policy window will close before I can get in touch with them. Plus, after reading tons of negative reviews about TD, I already fear that a future attempt to return this laptop will run afoul. It is unfathomable to me how this company manages to stay in business. I feel like we are now living in an age where everything you do is exposed online to the world and informed consumer choices are greater than ever. I do not understand how TG has been granted to get away with these scams. To the folks at Consumer Affairs, I am writing to request your help in advance, as I fear that making a return through TD will go bad. Is there any way I could receive some of your assistance? I thank you in advance.

So I would assume if I did not make the phone call, I may not see my stuff in what, a month?

    And then I asked if I can cancel my order. They said yes, but it will take 24-48 hours to cancel it. I called back after 24 hours because I have not got any notices about the cancellation. And they said it will take another day. Alright, I will wait another day and serious actions will be taken. In sum, this company is very careless. They do not care about their customer services.

I was told I need to speak with Tiger Direct about it (would love to XION, but they never answer the phone!). So apparently, the 1 year warranty for defective parts doesn't apply to shipping damaged items. I can't say I blame them. It truly isn't their fault that it was shipped sub par on the packing. I see TD replying, saying they strive for 100% customer satisfaction. Well here's an idea. Fire your crappy employees with their rude attitudes as they obviously aren't meant for retail! Replace them with someone who can actually do the job with a "smile" and get more people on the phone.

The reason why I got very irritated of this site is because I missed out on the Black Friday deals on other site because of this.

And I decided to buy it for my kids and my family with money that I saved all year. And 3 days later, they sent me an email saying that the order was cancelled due to the large response they had and the amount of orders they had for the same TV which I think is not my fault. This is really breaking me down and I feel very disappointed.

    I ordered a Chromebook (Samsung) on November 19th. Unlike most other sites, they do not tell you when you put the item in your cart that it is back ordered. Also, in the confirmation email they don't tell you. I had no order updates, and logged in to see the status of the order, and it just said back ordered with no other information. This item was to be a Christmas present, so whether or not it would make it for Christmas was at the heart of the issue. I emailed to get a status. They emailed back and said they couldn't find my order - this was 3 days later. I called the first time, they finally told me they expected getting them on December 18th, highly unlikely they would arrive by Christmas. Finally, I found a substitute on another website and cancelled the order. If you call them, expect to wait on the phone 20-30 minutes, and speak to someone whose English skills are terrible. I will not do business with a company like this who can't compete in the customer service realm.

    I ordered a refurbished Dell desktop with some trepidation. I had bought one from them before that just didn't last as long as it should have. They sent me the wrong model, which I didn't realize for four days because the specs were similar, just not the same. I ordered an HP dc7800 and they shipped an HP dc7900. The one I bought comes with a DVD-RW drive, the one delivered does not. Small issue but I wanted the one I bought. I can't reach them on the phone.You call the number and it tells you that they're receiving too many calls to respond, to go to the website and then it hangs up. I send emails from the contact section of the website explaining that they sent me the wrong product and I do get a response, but it's that the order was shipped and delivered. They are clearly not reading my email.

    I don't have the time to keep dealing with this issue and I would be willing at this point to just eat the $30 it'll take to get and install a DVD-RW drive. But now it's clear that the machine that they've sent me in mistake has a serious fault in either the HDD or motherboard and isn't fully functional. So I'm out the full amount I paid for it and have to dispose of a pile of computer junk. I'm passing this on to the fraud division of my credit card company. Hopefully they'll be able to help.

We sent it back and they claimed that a part of it was missing. I asked them to please check again because I knew it was in the computer. They called back and "found" it. It came back to us again and same thing. We sent it back having been promised we would get a brand new computer. OK, I went with it. Guess what? It’s broken and they want to fix it again.

Bankers Warranty will not cover my unit and HP will not fix my order. On 11-16-12 at 6:55 am, I spoke to customer service and he kept running around with "You were not covered because 1-year warranty was up from manufacturer." I said, "But I called a month after I bought the unit and was told the warranty was up?" Then I said I have a 2-year warranty, and they (HP) said, "No, you don't. You have to send us the documentation." I did, 4 times! Still no coverage. Again, I asked that he start my 3-year warranty again, and he kept avoiding my question on that. He could not assure me that HP would honor the warranty. (What good is that in a pinch when the unit goes down?)

    "This is what we can do - escalate this to my Manager." I told him "We are on the phone for over an hour now. You escalate it and get back to me." He did not answer and we parted. This is my 6th time to try and straighten this warranty issue out! I do want my money back ($119.00). I have been fixing this myself. No one else will. And at my cost! I don't need a mute warranty, and they will not honor it.

    I've ordered a Logitech keyboard case for Samsung Galaxy on 10/18/2012. On 10/30/2012, I received an email from Tiger Direct which told me the item was shipped 10 days ago. Since I haven't received the item, I went online and checked the shipping status. They provided a tracking number for delivery from UPS to USPS which is useless because it only indicated the item arrived USPS and not my home. So I started a web chat with Gabriel ** from Tiger Direct on the same day. She said she will resend the item. So I waited another two weeks. Still nothing arrived. Then I contacted Tiger Direct via their email support team. Maricel, a web response staff, replied two days later and told me they need up to 10 days for the investigation of the whereabouts of the item.

    Today (11/14/2012), I called the customer service hotline and their staff told me that Gabriel didn't send anything and there is no record of our online chat. (But she confirmed the existence of that staff.) I demanded a refund and she said I will need to wait until the investigation ended. I asked for any confirmation number that she could provide me that I've requested the order cancelled. The answer is no. She said if I want one, that would be the same email number from the web response team. I asked, "Would it be true that there would be no record to prove that we have conversation today?" She didn't answer. So how do I know they cancelled the order or not? One thing is for sure, I will contact my credit card company to stop the payment. By the way, the last customer service representative I contacted sounds not in a happy mood. They don't need to smile at us but at least, they shouldn’t make their clients feel their irritation.

    I placed an order with Tiger Direct on Wednesday, 10/24/2012, 12:38 pm. I ordered this product to be used on a project for our Window Manufacturing Facility. The project involved a person that was brought to the factory from Italy. It was very crucial that this part arrive overnight so that this person from Italy could install it and do training on it. I ordered the product in time; this was a Wednesday. The product did not arrive the following day so I called my sales rep, Jacque **, on the 25th. She informed me that there was a mistake and assured me that the item would ship out on the 25th and would arrive on the 26th. I then called on the 26th and she said that there was a problem and that my item would go out on the 26th and be there the next day. I work on that Saturday awaiting the shipment. The product did not ship on the 26th. I checked tracking this morning and it said the product shipped the 28th.

    Today is the 29th, and I am still not sure if I will get the product. The person that came over to do the training had to go back to Italy. This has been a real problem for me. I had a similar problem with the Tiger Direct before with a different sales rep. I thought maybe it was the rep, so I thought I would give it another try. Now, after this sort of shipping problem has taken place two times, Tiger Direct has lost my business. I will not order another item from this store.

    The sales associate sold me an extended warranty and promised that the extended warranty would cover absolutely "any" damage that may occur with the laptop, whether it be a manufacturer defect or physical damage.

    Here is my story: My wife purchased a tablet from CompUSA in Pembroke Pines, FL on December 23, 2011 as a Christmas present for me. The salesperson sold us an insurance policy he said would cover accidental damage like drops and spills. This salesperson did not ever supply us with policy details or declaration sheet. The policy is reflected on my receipt. We paid $439.00 for the tablet and $69.99 for the insurance. I dropped the tablet, and it cracked. I called and reported this to Square Trade (AmTrust) on October 18th. They informed me that we were not sold the correct coverage and that they would refund me the purchase price of this coverage ($69.00). I informed them that info was incorrect.

    This was a fraudulent sale, because the salesperson representing their company said accidental damage was covered for the $69.00 price as charged. CompUSA was notified, and nothing was done to remedy this problem. I informed them that they sold and represented that this insurance policy had accidental damage coverage, and I was just informed by Square Trade that it did not nor were we presented with any details of this coverage.

I went back to Tiger and they finally agreed but they wanted a case # from HP. I got that and then after 3 hours of my Saturday, the customer service rep at Tiger asked me if I have the packaging. What? He said they could only do the exchange if I had the Bar coding from the packaging. You've got to be kidding. The PC has serial #s all over it and they want packaging?

    I purchased an Acer Laptop from CompUSA in Dover, DE two years ago. When purchasing my laptop, I inquired about an extended warranty. The sales associate sold me an extended warranty and promised that the extended warranty would cover absolutely "any" damage that may occur with the laptop whether it be a manufacturer defect or physical damage. A couple of months ago, I turned on my laptop and when it loaded up, there was a diagonal line across the screen and the bottom part of the diagonal line was completely black, the upper portion of the line looked like the regular screen with some horizontal lines going across.

    I contacted the warranty company and sent my laptop to their repair company. The repair company diagnosed my laptop screen as having "accidental damage" and the warranty company refuses to pay for the screen replacement because they say that the warranty the CompUSA sales associate sold me does not cover that type of damage or repair. Let's start off by saying that I did not cause any physical damage to my laptop and secondly, I am extremely disappointed that the sales associate sold me a faulty warranty and completely misinformed me! Now the repair company wants me to pay $85 just to ship it back to me without repair or $300 to repair it and ship it back to me. I don't feel that I should have to pay for anything since I purchased a $200 warranty from CompUSA with the sales associate promising me that it would cover everything and anything that could possibly happen to my laptop. Had the associate given me the correct information, I would have purchased the correct warranty.

    I am extremely disappointment and now have not had my laptop for two months in dealing with the repair company, the Dover, Delaware store manager and the warranty company. No one seems to wants to correct this issue. I am appalled by this whole situation and CompUSA should train their associates to provide the customer with correct information and stand by their word and product. I don't feel I should have to pay for the repair or the shipping fee due to CompUSA's negligence!

    I got a defective computer from Tiger Direct. The defects were ridiculously obvious, such as keys falling off the keyboard and the tower fan so loud I could hear it from another floor. When I called TD about getting it fixed, they told me that I had to contact the company that sold it to them, get a “case number” and then call TD back. But that other company (U.S. Micro) wouldn’t answer their phone, and I ended up leaving them a lot of voice mails. The one time someone answered, the guy told me that the person I needed to talk to was “on another line,” so I left my name and number. No one from USM ever called me back though. And all this time TD had a 30-day return policy that ran out, because I could never get that “case number.”

    Here’s the scam in a nutshell: USM sold a defective computer to TD. TD sold that computer to me. When I try to get it fixed, TD told me to go to USM to get info and make sure I got within 30 days. USM dodged me for over 30 days. As a result, neither TD nor USM had to pay for the defective computer. I got stuck with it.

    We needed a camera surveillance system, then we needed several extra couplers. They could only be purchased online so I went to Tiger Direct.com, which was one of the companies listed under Revo to buy accessories. All I can say is thank God I didn't make an expensive order! I called, explained in detail that I needed couplers for some Revo cameras, which are Inline Couplers. They are 'quick snap' cameras. The sales person said he knew exactly what I needed and would get them out. I gave him my charge card info. They finally arrived, but they sent me the wrong couplers.

    I realize things like this can happen so I called them and I was told that they will send me a 'label' to attach to the package. I returned them, a FedEx man will pick it up at no charge to me and I will be sent the correct couplers. I waited for 2 weeks - I received nothing. I called again, spoke to another sales person and he said they never handle returns this way and then I was disconnected (he hung up). By then I'm getting disgusted, knowing that they had lied to me but I called back again. I was polite, thinking the next guy will take care of this. He told me that I will get a refund, but that it will 'take approximately 3 weeks'. I told him that's fine. He kept repeating himself and I kept telling him it's fine. He then said, in his exact words, "I might as well tell you upfront that you won't receive a refund."

Well, I got a hold of the manufacturer and what a wonderful man he was! This is CTG (Cables To Go), we played 'phone tag' for a while but he kept calling me back, after I left the initial message that TigerDirect sent me an e-mail, letting me know it was not their problem, that to contact CTG! I finally got a hold of the CTG employee, he thought it was awful how TigerDirect had scammed me, since they were the ones who sent the wrong couplers and he wanted to make it right. He actually sent me couplers free of charge. He has heard of complaints against TigerDirect before.

    I would just like to say to anyone that there are reputable companies out there to buy your merchandise. Don't risk your money with this company! I was actually going to buy some expensive merchandise and had friends looking at this site, until I found out how fraudulent they are and to make matters worse, they get away with it! Not ever having to install a camera surveillance system did I know the hell what I would go through. I later found a very reputable company to purchase from, Securitall.com (affiliated with Revo), but at the time I had no idea who to buy from. It was very stressful. And also Cablestogo.com, the company that sent me the free couplers. It's nice to know there are a few honest people around. Just please do not purchase from TigerDirect.com and take a chance at being ripped off. It isn't worth it! Thanks for listening.

I'd just bought a 1TB HD from them a few months earlier and it was only the size of a pack of cigarettes! Anyhow, I was then told that Western Digital's main plant in Taiwan was flooded and so all their HDs are more expensive.

    I am a loyal TigerDirect client for many years. I have 2 accounts with you under ** and **. I had paid $150 to TigerDirect. I do not understand why he would tell me that it is up to the installers when at that time I did not even sign anything since the wiring and other things were not even done. I sent an email to the manager since he has not responded to my earlier email from last week at all, which I found very unprofessional. I would appreciate if someone can please follow up with this matter as this had been going on for way too long and I am very stressed out about this experience.

    Same old complaint about rebates or rather lack thereof. In September of 2011, I have ordered quite a bit from TD. My last order for a bare bones kit included Patriot Ram with a $20 rebate. I made my rebate list and checked it twice and sent it in. It appeared to go through but wait, I was missing something. The packing slip/invoice as I remember. Funny because I sent both the packing slip and a copy of the invoice. It seems like it "disappeared" in a a black hole or the waste basket, whichever was closest. They now wanted me to "resubmit", genuflect and jump through some more hoops for my $20. I told them, "you already have everything you need and I am not going to resubmit". No dice. I contacted a lady at TD who claims to resolve all problems.

    We went back and forth for a month with no tangible results. Finally, she wrote that my rebate had been magically approved by Patriot. I waited a week and went to the Patriot site and it said - surprise, surprise - that my rebate was rejected! I told the kind TD lady (Ms. **? Not sure of the name) that Patriot even lies to them. I received no further email contact from TD after that. I tried one last time to notify TD that this rebate scam was hurting their business big time. I called TD and told them to take me off their mailing list (they have) and that I would never purchase another item from them. I asked for the name of a corporate officer who I could contact and the phone rep just gave me the generic email contact address. I sent in my concerns and have not heard anything back.

    I wondered if it's just me they shafted, but when I went online, I see that while rebate and scam don't really rhyme, other consumers appear to believe that they sometimes go hand in hand at TD. Looks like there are quite a few other people that have been stiffed as well. This, in my opinion, is not a good business model to follow (lose a loyal customer over a $20 rebate). I am one frustrated, former customer of TD with the emphasis on "former". And I wouldn't buy anything from Patriot Ram if George Washington himself was the rebate master and Abe Lincoln was checking the forms.

    I bought a laptop shipped to my best friend in MD. The UPS website tracking show delivered but nobody signed for it. My friend never received the laptop so I opened a claim with UPS. UPS told me they did an investigation and showed it was delivered. How can I pay for an item that I/my friend did not receive? So, I went with the credit card company and did a chargeback. The credit card company granted my chargeback. I bought an LCD today and the order was pending (told me to call them). They want me to pay for that laptop that my friend never received. It's ridiculous. There are places to buy electronics everywhere on the web. They are the one at lost, unreasonable and unreliable.

    I purchased an HP DV7 laptop computer which was sold to me as "new." When I opened it, there was no paperwork or plastic wrap inside the box. I was later told by HP customer service that the unit had already been registered under a different name approximately 5 months ago. Tiger Direct also informed me that there was a $50 rebate through HP, but I was unable to locate any rebate on the HP site for this unit, and was also informed that it would be difficult to secure a rebate when already registered to another person. Tiger Direct did give me a slight discount on the unit upon my complaint to them, and they are also going to give me the $50 rebate directly. However, something should be done about a retailer that is selling items as "new" when they are not new products. I thought that was against the law.

    I am an IT college student and decided for my hardware class' benchmark that I would buy and assemble my own computer. I went to both Tiger Direct and Newegg to find parts. I noticed that both companies do tend to try and price match each other. Some things were cheaper on Newegg and some were cheaper on Tiger Direct. The ordering process for Tiger was simple and fast and my product was received quickly. I am very happy and will definitely purchase from Tiger Direct.

    However, Newegg was a pain! It took them a week and a half to process and start the shipping process - and that's after customer service gave me the rush processing for free when I complained! Why? Because if your billing and shipping isn't the same, they freak out. They have to call and verify with your credit card company that the addresses are on file (this holds up the whole process). I had to fight to get my order processed and shipped (they took my money as soon as I checked out). Again, Tiger Direct is a good company, while I am not saying these people are liars as every company does not have a perfect record. I feel that in some cases, it really comes out to be the customer's fault.

    Fraud and theft assisted by Tiger Direct Rebate(s). I purchased some computer equipment from Tiger Direct (TD). The online purchase included a rebate. The rebate was through a Reservations Rewards for $15.00, not much but the process was simple to complete and didn't take much time. Even if I didn't get the $15 (which I did not expect to get), no problem. The rebate was through Reservation Rewards. Up to my surprise, Reservation Rewards started billing my credit card for $14. I contacted Tiger Direct. After being transferred around and given invalid callback 1-800 numbers, the Tiger Direct representative conferenced me to one of the rewards programs Tiger Direct was affiliated with. The rewards person indicated it was impossible as their program is only offered in the US. I am from Canada.

    After I found the 1-800 number for Reservations Rewards (RR), the TD conferenced me with the RR representative (Yulan **). My request to RR was simple, show me the documentation that authorized them to charge my credit card. She was willing to send me a sign up form explaining the charges and benefits of RR. After a number of attempts requesting anything showing authorization to charge my credit card, all I received from Reservation Rewards is that could not have happened. Tiger Direct has assisted in escalating the rebate scams to a new level of credit fraud and theft. I am surprised that a company that relies on internet purchases for business is a participant in this type of activity. I wonder how much RR is paying TD. I never did get my rebate.

    On Feb. 16, I had ordered several items from Tiger Direct, including a computer that had to be custom built. The next day, they re-credited the cost of the computer back to us because it took three to five days to build. They took out what was needed for the other items, which we received fine. On the 22nd, I decided to cancel the order and buy a new one, about the same as I had ordered by for a lot cheaper. We spoke to a representative and they said they already took care of it. They had already taken the money for the pre-built.

    On the 24th, two days after we ordered the new computer and cancelled the original, I had missed the UPS that stated I had two packages. When I checked my account, I discovered that the $2,000 for the original had been taken out of my account. After speaking to them, they said they would handle the issue. A week and a half later, the money was returned, but not before battling it out several times with the representatives. But, when we received the money, the shipping cost had not been returned.

    When I called them again, I tried to explain the situation and was getting more frustrated as I was finally informed that the reason it was not returned is they never took out the shipping in the first order. It was never explained to us. We were never given a shipping order, and several other major issues. The rest of the stuff was fine, everything else was perfect. But this large issue has really caused me no end of grief with Tiger Direct and the way they handled the situation. This should have never happened and they acted like we were the bad guys. I have a right for being angry about this, because this action hurt us in a bad way that took much time to fix.

    I ordered a Nightowl DVR Home Security system. Shipping time was just fine. I got the product as expected and started installing. This did take a little time, but after 2 weekends, got it up and going. Cables all ran through the attic and walls, cameras mounted and connected to the net, all was good.

    Then Video5 quit displaying video. I could take and move cables around on the back of the DVR and no matter which camera was connected to it; it would not display an image. But all cameras would display on the other ports.

    So I called Tiger Direct. I was told to take it all down, roll up the cables, put it back in the box and send it all back. I’m not going to do it. It took too long to run those cables and get those cameras pointed just the right. Why not send me a replacement DVR or if it’s only in a kit, send me a kit. I will put in the bad DVR and return the whole thing. Nope I can’t do it. I call the warranty company (as I did get the extended warranty). Same thing, they can't or won’t help you. I have to call the manufacturer. I did not buy this or the warranty from the manufacturer, I got from Tiger Direct. That is who got my money and who I should have to deal with.

    My laptop was left at CompUSA, I-20, Arlington, TX service desk (Mr. ** stated he was the store manager and took possession) was to have cleaned a virus from my HP laptop. It was picked up 1/31/12. The first time I turned it on (Saturday, 2/11/12), it would not boot and would not start in the safe mode. It was immediately returned to CompUSA, I-20, Arlington, TX, where I talked with Joseph at the service desk, explaining that it was not working at all. Joseph then stated there was no way the laptop would have been delivered to me without it working properly!

    The HP was left for repair but I do not have any faith that the problem will be resolved because when I first took it in and left it with **, the store manager, he was annoyed that I would not leave it without a receipt and more so when I insisted that he put the type laptop and serial number on the receipt, further requesting that he indicate on the handwritten (scribbled) receipt that it included the power cord. When I asked when I could pick it up, he told me that I'd receive a call the next morning from service. Two days later, I went in after work and all that they had on my laptop was a note scribbled and taped to the laptop that "customer will call" and nothing else!

    Tim, the person at the service desk took the information regarding cleaning up the virus and told me it would be ready the next day. The following evening, Tim sold me two maintenance software that he said were necessary and I paid the approximately $248.00 bill. Saturday, 2/11/12, Joseph (working the service counter) stated he'd call by close of business to state the situation. I repeatedly told him that I could not get it to even boot up.

    I stopped at the Naperville, IL store on February 6, 2012 to add RAM to my (old) Compaq computer. I chose CompUSA for this purchase instead of several much physically closer vendors as I'd received a mail advertisement stating, besides the sale prices, etc., that the service department would install "any one (1) item" that was purchased in the store free. Great! Thought I, as I wanted to increase my RAM. So, I boxed up my computer and drove (about 30 miles) to the store. I'd spoken with a tech on the phone and asked for that person. We removed my computer from the box. He pulled the old pieces from the computer and found the correct replacement part number and said the price would be about 60 bucks. I said, "Okay, and go ahead and install it here.” He replied that it would be an additional 30 bucks to install it. I pointed out that the mailer said that CompUSA would install it free when I purchased it there. He replied that that was only applicable to new computers.

    I gave him my most skeptical look to which he replied, "Don't blame me; it's the store's policy." Obviously, he'd faced this situation before. I told him I'd install the parts myself for 30 bucks! He replaced the case on the computer, handed me the part number and directed me to the back of the store and the parts dept. I will point out that the tech was always respectful and never in any way rude or not helpful. At parts I handed the part number to a nice woman. She said it'd be about 20 minutes and so I browsed the store flyers stacked near the parts counter and spied a Bluetooth headset for $7.99. I thought I'd browse the store and eventually found a box of these Bluetooth headsets labeled $7.99. I grabbed one and placed it in my cart with my boxed computer.

    About 20 minutes later I heard my name called and paid for my purchases and left. When I returned home I looked for the store mailer and found that the "small print" of the "have it installed here free" advertisement actually read "some restrictions apply, see store for details.” I have to believe that this was an intentionally deceptive statement as the phrase new computers only requires much less space than some restrictions apply, etc., and as I wasn't the only person that service had encountered who’d arrived there with that misconception obviously there's a problem with that advertisement.

    Then, while reviewing the return policy on the receipt I noticed that I'd been charged $14.99 for the Bluetooth instead of $7.99! Great! Now I can drive another 30miles to get a $7 credit card adjustment. Probably only to find that there's some reason that the flyer and the sign on the box have some small print disqualifying reason why I was charged more than the sign/flyer said. Obviously, when I was told that CompUSA wasn't going to install the parts for free I should have left immediately. The only reason I can give for continuing was that if I left without the desired parts I'd have driven nearly 2 hours (roundtrip at that time of day) for nothing.

    Believe me when I tell you that I won't be making any trips to CompUSA again. In hindsight I could have gotten the parts within a couple of miles from here at Office Depot or Best Buy and saved myself the time and the trip and wouldn't have bought a $8 Bluetooth for $15! I can't believe that CompUSA’s prices would have been that much cheaper. I am very dissatisfied with my experience with CompUSA. Please send me the $7 for the price difference on the Bluetooth. I guess I'll have to write off the time, gas, wear and tear, effort to drive all the way to Naperville, IL and back as the price of doing business with CompUSA!

Being a new customer, I did not worry since my previous order had gone okay. Looking through all the fine print in my invoice, I found a note stating to contact a given number to confirm order; otherwise, the order would not be shipped. That's when everything started to get real sour.

    I don't know why but a partial amount was biffed off and biffed back three times with PayPal, without my ever giving consent or issuing withholding of payment to PayPal. Now Tiger Direct Florida Management has sent me a collection letter with Credit Card forms and info, etc. to fill out. Now I don't have credit cards and don't want any. I intend to pay Tiger Direct for the balance but I still don't understand why a part of the full payment was cancelled in the first place. So if they want that balance, they will have to accept a PayPal personal payment to whatever web address they wish. But I will not pay one penny for check, credit or money order additional fees even if they are the specified payment methods specified in their collection documentation.

    Why does an honest person have to go through all this when the full payment was made in the first place! Tiger Direct has lost a client because of its harassing credit marketing tactics. And I surely never want to ever do business with them again. I don't need that kind of business.

It seemed like a great deal. My parents would love it, and I assumed that Tiger Direct's fulfillment process would go smoothly.

    First I received an email on the 19th that I had to call to verify the order since it was shipping to a different address than that on the card. Great security measures, I had no issue with that and did it immediately upon receiving the email. I explained to the rep on the phone that I was concerned about the delivery making it by Christmas and asked specifically when the device would ship out and he assured me that it would be processed the same day for shipment. On the 27th, the item still had not been received by my parents. Embarrassed, I searched my emails for the Tracking Number and discovered that it hadn't even shipped until the 21st (so much for receipt by the 22nd!).

    I called Tiger Direct and spoke with rep Michelle. I asked if she could verify when the order was placed, the additional shipping that was paid and then asked if she could explain why the order hadn't shipped until the 21st. After a brief hold she explained that some of these items had been tested but were determined to be faulty, requiring a re-order from the manufacturer. She said I should have received a phone call that it was back ordered. Having placed many orders for my employer through Tiger Direct, I knew this wasn't the process and explained that to her. I asked her specifically, "So, this item was determined faulty and was re-ordered from the manufacturer? " She tried giving some vague explanation but I said, "This is a yes or no question," and repeated the question. She answered, "Yes." After more vagaries about why I wasn't notified about the back order (I could have purchased the item from a Big Box store and shipped it myself) she put me on hold again.

    After an extensive hold she said that the item had not been back ordered, that she was giving me general information then tried to claim that "someone" had spoken with me on the 20th about the order. After determining that was not possible (the phone number associated with my credit card is no longer in service and the other number was my parents' phone number in another state) she finally offered a refund of the shipping; $8.18, which I have to wait a week for. Wow, thanks so much, Tiger Direct!

    No "deal" is worth this hassle. The price was only $12 less than the Big Box store. Had I bought it from a Big Box store and shipped it myself, it would have made it by Christmas, well worth the $12 difference. I am never buying from Tiger Direct again and have already changed company, IT purchases to be done through Amazon instead.

    I am thoroughly disappointed in my entire experience with Tigerdirect.com. From the computer I purchased for Christmas morning that was not checked before shipping with a baffled motherboard! Wouldn't even turn on. Thank God I am smart enough to check or else my daughter would have cried Christmas morning. Customer service, I have received not one pleasant person. I've talked to the "sales manager" who later in the call said he was "Sr. Vice president" when I asked to speak to someone other than him. Here is my question, "How could you ruin Christmas?" I was also told that during the holiday season apparently they do'nt have time to check every package shipped. They are too busy. Really?

    The staff at the Fort Myers Office has been awful in providing any help with an item that was returned through their store. The sales person was Jackie **, the Store Manager was Frank ** and the District Manager was Omar **. My complaint felt in deaf ears. I purchased a printer on 10/17/11. It was returned immediately to the store and was sent to the shipper. Today is 11/21/11 and I have not received a refund for the printer that was returned. I had to call myself to get information about this issue. They have kept telling me that they were working on it.

    When I talked to the CompUsa Corporate Office, the individual told me that no one has started the process to get the money back (the date of this occurrence was 11/18/11). The individual was very kind and initiated the confirmation so I could get my money back.

    It is totally unacceptable for this people to get away with this. This is how your company gets a bad reputation, because people do not do their job. I made numerous calls to the store here in Fort Myers and always been giving the run around. Now when I call my sales rep, he does not answer the phone or return my calls. My company spent thousands of dollars in this store and was ok for a while. Now that I need some attention to my problem (no one is there for my company).

    Today 11/21/11, I talked to Mr. Frank **, and once again he told me that he sent an email on Friday 11/18/11 and that he has not got any messages back. I believe this is untrue. I talked to an individual by the name Michael and he told me that the only person that has done anything about this issue was someone else not Frank **. The attitude that I perceived from Mr. Frank ** is not professional and it appears non-responsive. In other words, they will give you the money when they give you the money. He also told me that he talked to me on Friday and that is totally untrue. The last time I talked to him was on the 14th of November when I finally got fed up and went to the store to see about my refund. By the way, I also place numerous phone calls to Mr. Omar ** and once again, no response. The first time and only time that I talked to him was on the 14th on November, at that time he told me that he will be calling back within 2 hours, it has been 7 days and still no phone call from Mr. Omar **.

    On 11/27/2010, I purchased a Vizio LED television (XVT472SV) for $744.96 at 130 E. Altamonte Dr. Altamonte Springs, FL 32701. Unfortunately, on 11/09/2011, the television stopped working properly and does not show a picture. I have since been attempting to make good on the 2-year extended warranty I purchased from CompUSA for $142.49. The warranty is through Bankers Warranty Group of Florida. A technician was dispatched to examine the television on 11/16/2011. The technician advised that he would need to order parts that he thinks may fix the television. We were advised by Ron, supervisor with Bankers Warranty Group (ID-LXY) on 11/16/2011, that the earliest we could have the tech come out to see if the parts ordered will correct the problem is 3-4 weeks likely 12/15/11. If the part did not correct the issue, the company will then determine another course of action.

    CompUSA or Bankers Warranty Group will not offer any options to expedite this process or any loaner television while this process is being completed. The warranty company and the store location will not offer us any course of action that they feel confident that will not have us be without a television that we spent our hard-earned money to purchase for less than one month, maybe two. This is unacceptable! My wife and I have been a loyal customer of CompUSA spending over $10,000.00 in their store over the past year between our small business and personal needs. Because of our method of tax filing, I have every receipt as proof of our loyalty. Now, we are in need of CompUSA and they are completely not living up to the standard they so often peddle when we make purchases. The warranty we purchased promised fast and reliable service, neither of which we have received so far.

So, I told them that I am using a joint card and need to get verification before I can even charge .50 cents to my card. Apparently, even if they send you the rebate for $10, when you endorse the check, you automatically get signed up for the membership (read the fine print).

    This company has an improper way of processing order. They have poor customer service. My order was made, where purchases by credit card need full address, e.g. apartment number. But the apartment number doesn't appear on shipping address. And the order was returned at a cheaper rate than what was ordered. Customer service called on Friday, October 7th. "Alex" claimed that "I didn't properly enter my address". I explained to him how purchases can only be made with proper address. I also told him that the feature in order process has "check box if billing address and shipping address are the same", and it was made. He said, "Just a moment.”

    Twenty one minutes later, he's surprised that I was still waiting. He explained that he was distracted. I was instructed to wait another 4 business days (it's Friday!) before the package is processed, received, and can be shipped again. I demanded that the shipment returned can stay there and the 2-day air shipment that I paid extra for should happen as soon as possible. After another 5-minute hole, I have to make another order of the same product. And the previous order will be canceled and refunded (another 5 business days of process after the 4 business days of return process!).

    Another order was placed. I asked Alex, “With 2-day air, could I possibly receive my order by Monday?” He replied, “It could be as soon as Monday, maybe Tuesday.” We hung up. After an 1 hour, I haven't received a confirmation email, so I called again to request it. "Pete" answered and sent the email confirmation, but informed me that Tiger Direct doesn't ship on Saturdays! So, "Alex" lied to me or is ignorant of the processes for which he works. Another hour passed, and my order confirmation is sent, to which there is no apartment number again! Alex screwed the re-order. On another call, Heather answered, to whom my situation was explained and address correction was requested with an order confirmation. My apartment number still doesn't exist on the order invoice. The customer service and order processing of Tiger Direct stinks!

    I purchased a Cannon Rebel XT from what is now the defunct Circuit City. I purchased the camera for $700. At that time, I also purchased an extended warranty for the camera for an additional $250 some odd dollars, a warranty that is still active for 4-5 more months. The warranty states that 'If the camera is damaged in any way, it will be sent out to be repaired. If it can not be repaired, a camera of comparable value will be returned to you. If one can not be located, the total purchase price will be returned'.

    My camera was badly damaged a little over a month ago and it was sent to the self-addressed box the City Advantage Co. provided. They later contacted me to say the camera was not repairable and they could not find a replacement. They said they will gladly send me a check for the purchase price of $235! That's a far cry from $700! I spoke to two customer service representatives and a manager in the Philippines (neither one would give me their full name), and a Customer Relations Representative in the US, Craig **.

    After an hour and for the most part, being told I have no option but to take the $235, I thought this has got to be a scam and decided to start recording both conversations. I was told, unless I can produce an original receipt from 2008 stating a different purchase price, then I have no other option but to take their amount of $235. I opt to do business at the large conglomerate companies like Circuit City for this exact reason. So I have someone to look in the eye when I have a problem and so I don't have to carry or keep any receipts! We live in the US in the 21st century where everything you purchase is stored on at least one database! If you go out and purchase a warranty at any one of the large chain stores, not one of them asks you to retain your original receipt for verification!

    Believe me, I'm self employed so the fewer receipts I have to keep track of, the better. Because Circuit City is now defunct, and none of their records are available, I'm left with a choice of nothing or next to nothing. Mr. ** said I may have purchased it at a sale price. To that I say, even with technology outpacing itself as quickly as it is; where a TV that cost you a $1000 four years ago, now comes free in a box of Cheerios, I challenge them to find me a new Cannon Rebel for twice the amount they're offering! Good luck. My warranty is nothing short a contact. I upheld my end, they are now legally bound to do the same.

    I purchased an Asus computer on 17 August 11. I kept the box but not the packing. I live in a small townhouse and never thought that I had to keep the packing. The keyboard on this Asus is not functioning properly--I do not type with one finger and I had to really hit each key in order to type. I brought the computer back for an exchange on 03 September and I was waited on by Tim.

    Meanwhile, I had read that the Asus 53 series had many complaints about the keyboard so I picked out a more expensive Lenovo for the exchange. The Lenovo went on sale the following day so I planned to return and exchange the Asus then. I brought back the box I had kept and was told that I needed the packing for the exchange. Tim returned after speaking with a store manager (Jose said the previous day that he was the one) and said that it would be okay to exchange the Asus for the Lenovo.

    I went to the store on 04 September. Tim wasn't there but I got the Lenovo from Andrew. I had LoJack installed in the Asus by TigerDirect along with more RAM. Tim said that I could get the LoJack installed in the Lenovo but since I didn't have the software with me (it was at home), the store manager named Frank kept insisting that I could not have any software for free--I kept mentioning that I had purchased the contract for a year. I phoned LoJack but the customer service was only available on the weekday. I then asked if they could keep the Lenovo until I got a hold of LoJack so I could get it at that price and was told no.

    Today, 06 September, I phoned TigerDirect before going over there to see if the Lenovo was still available and it isn't. I then inquired about purchasing one online and making the exchange that way. Jose ** told me that I could not exchange the Asus for the Lenovo because I didn't have the packing. I asked why he didn't tell me that four days ago and he said it was written on the receipt. He also told me that I would have to pay a 15% stocking fee if I did the exchange. He said I could only return this Asus for another Asus. They don't have any in the store but are expecting some in. If I do exchange this computer that has a problem with the keyboard, TigerDirect keeps the packing, which is fine.

    The information I read on the 53 series is that this series is iffy--defective keyboard. I asked if I could exchange this for an upgraded model of the Asus that has a better reputation and the answer was no. As you can see, I spent lots of time in the store (2 days) but then was told something completely different! I mentioned what Tim (a very knowledgeable, excellent salesperson) and Jose said. I have purchased seven computers from TigerDirect and have never had a bad experience! This was the last thing I expected to happen. If a 'stocking fee' needs to be enforced, then, they need to put signs up that say so--there is none. The reason why people stopped buying from Best Buy and compUSA (before they merged with TigerDirect) was because of the 15% stocking fee.

    This experience has been unfortunate because I would be reluctant to ever shop at TigerDirect again--I am just shocked at having to write this complaint. I am a retired teacher with Dade County public schools and always recommended your company over the big competitors of staples, office max and office depot (actually in Miami, we have a huge choice). I am now very concerned because I purchased a laptop for my younger son with a year's warranty and would hate for him to experience this same baloney!

    I'm not sure why my request of exchanging my faulty Asus for a better Lenovo ($100 more) is such a problem. When the LoJack was such an issue, I even asked Frank, "So, this $39 LoJack issue is more important than losing a good customer." He just kept insisting that I wanted it for free! I'm not sure if anyone can change the mind of Jose, Frank and all the other 'store managers,' but I am having a hard time processing why my request is such a problem in lieu of me being such a good customer! I hope you can help. Please advise.

I'm sorry I am not a cheap person, but if that's what the price says then it needs to be honored for that. Then as a GM you fix it and make sure your employees are on top of it! It's not my problem that a customer or an employee put the wrong price tag in the wrong place. So we had the cashier refund everything, and left! If you are that stupid to lose a customer over twenty dollars especially when we just purchased an over four hundred dollar system nine days before, which my husband is considering taking back. Well I can assure you we will not be going back to CompUSA ever! I can give my business to someone else.

    I purchased a TV online May 27, 2007. Two years later the voice went out. Three years later my TV does not want to work. The TV kept going off and on.
    I called The RCA company and no one wants to take any responsibility. I paid close to $800.00 dollars and expected my TV to last longer than three years.
    I had to paid $100.00, $75.00, and $50.00 to have my TV diagnosed. I am very skeptical because I could not believe what happened to my TV. They told me that my TV board would have to be sent to Texas and be repaired. I do not want to do that because who is to say how long the TV would last after that.

    So, what I am asking for is my money for the TV and tech. visits be refunded. I would like to have someone get back to me asap

    I went to CompUSA on 1/4/11. I grabbed a Galaxy GTS 450 Video Card with an advertised price of $129.99 and went through the register and purchased the product but seemed to pay too much. I returned back to the store and told them that I was over charged by 20 dollars. They went and looked and there was a mail in rebate that was to go along with it. So I said ok and went on my way. Today 1/6/11 went on CompUSA to get my rebate, now remember that I purchased the card on 1/4/11.

    I found the rebate form for the item, but noticed that for the rebate to be handled properly, it had to be purchased between 12/7/10 to 12/19/10. How is it possible for them to have the signage in the store for a sale item price that's not even possible to be given at that price? I went in there today as well to buy some memory. Price marked in red was 77.99 for some patriot 4096mb memory, and went to the register to buy it, and it rang up at 127.99. Asked them to check out the price and of course, there was a rebate to be associated with the advertised price. I argued with the associates of how they can do this, with the font being so small on the item that no normal shopper would notice.

    The floor manager said that the way the company does it isn't fair and told me to complain. They were not into price matching the price as advertised in normal visible font, and I started to get angry. I was given a gift card and was going to use it, and asked them if I could get the money back for it, knowing I couldn't, and the Store manager on duty heard the whole situation, and just stood there, never saying a word allowing me to take my money out of their store. What type of company tries to make a profit off of falsification of advertisement? How can you have one price advertised and the rebate not be a valid rebate at the time of sale?

    I ordered several items on 12-17-10. I hadn't received them by 12-23 and traced the shipment. The website showed my Christmas presents were all shipped to PA and I live in CA. Customer representative said that he would have them forwarded to me. 12-5-10 and still no presents have arrived at my address - the address on the order.

    I still have not received my order. The customer service has been horrible. I asked to talk to a manager and waited about 40 minutes for him to come on the line. Nobody asked me to keep holding or picked up the phone that whole time. I was on the phone for almost 2 hours and nothing was resolved. I ordered the product on December 17. I called about the 23rd time, saying that they shipped it incorrectly, and I told them at that time that all my old orders even show the wrong address. They keep suggesting I put the wrong address in, which I didn't.

    I paid through PayPal for my Christmas presents and still, as of today, have received nothing. They are completely lacking customer service and action skills, saying, "You know, it is the holiday." Yeah, one where I had no presents. Thanks! I just bought two computers and a security system from them and they all show this other address as well. Still, as of today, they are going to try to get my product back and then re-ship it to me. I want someone from corporate to call me.

    I have been a pretty good customer and have spent a lot of money there. To have a company have such a lack of service like this, really upsets me. First, they messed up our gifts, not just any shipment. Then, their lack of caring about it on top of it upsets me. They still haven't corrected the computer error. Not that I would want to order another product with them again, but I can't because their computer keeps putting this other address as my shipping address. This has been an error since the 17th and it has not been fixed as of yet.

    I am shaking my head. People are struggling to keep their business open and they can't even get me an order and then have attitude with me, like it is my fault. Oh and the 800 number says, "Oh, you placed your order online. We don't have any control of orders placed online." I'm over the top angry about this, and nobody there seems to care and they have made no effort to get my gifts to me so my family can finally have their Christmas presents.

After two weeks, in the middle of my fall graduate school semester, the motherboard goes. Disgusted, I sent the computer back and requested a refund. I was told I could not receive a refund for the warranty.

    I read the fine print of the warranty and since it was still under factory warranty, I was entitled a refund. Then instead of a refund Tiger Direct replaces the motherboard and sends me another computer which I did not want.

    I waited over ten business days for a refund. I called and spoke to a Martin. Martin simply made a comment on my previous purchases and lied to me and said my account was credited on November 22nd but was not. I couldn't get a supervisor but called back and spoke to Juan.

    I went on their website immediately after receiving the software and they had changed their ad and it’s without the upgrade coupon (product number M17-7418)! I went on their website this morning to check my account and the entire transaction had been removed from my records there. All I wanted was to be treated fairly and with respect; however, I was made to feel like I didn't matter and it was no loss. I simply would like to return the OS and get my money refunded.

I purchased the lap top for 3700.00 including the 360.00 for the 3 year extended warranty. In January of 2008, My Boo (my doggie) stepped on my key board and broke it. I sent it in for repair and tried to get a new battery, they said I would have to get it fixed and send it in again for the battery. Why? I don't know.

    I never did call back for that battery, knowing that they really do go bad after a year. In 2009, what happens Circuit City goes broke...yup bankrupt. So I just assume (I know what that means yes) that their warranty company went along with it. I am having problems with it getting really hot but continue to deal with it because I think I have no warranty and I know I have no job...so how would I pay?

    I started getting email from Circuit City when they started up on line and I searched their website and low and behold, the warranty company still exists and it's bragging that all old warranties will be honored. Yippee, because on the 4th of July my computer crashed and it's in need of some serious work. I called them and wait for about 30 minutes online when Marvin comes on and a very thick Indian accent, told me that I only bought a one year warranty and it expired in August of 2009. Hmm. If I only bought a 1 year warranty, how can it expire in 2009 if I purchased it in 2007?

    Ok. Fax me a copy of the receipt you have or email it to me. I cannot do that ma'am. It is confidential information and we are not allowed to release this information. But it's my confidential information, what the ** are you on? Let me speak to a supervisor, ok, 2 minutes ma'am. He comes back on the line after a few minutes and says the only supervisor working is busy with another customer and he is just going to say the same thing that he (Marvin) has already told me. I said no doubt he's with another complaining customer and in the entire office you guys only have that one supervisor? Yes Ma'am.

    Ok, give me the address of your offices, now as soon as I said this Marvin let out an audible laugh as if to say, yeah right, good luck with that. I got the message and I thought yes Marvin you are correct I will be wasting my time writing a company that could give a ** about me, a complaining customer. So the best way for me to get the word out I think, is to advertise for them.

    The manager said it was no problem and that they can call the bank and talk to them about releasing the money immediately. I ended up having to call the bank and was told no credit had been posted to my account yet. The manager says CompUSA posts at midnight and you should have the money in the morning in your account. Well, I checked my account and no credit has been posted, not even in the pending section. There were no humans to speak with at the corporate office and based on my experience of such a hassle returning an item I didn't care for in less than 24 hours and all the "stuff" I dealt with concerning store personnel, my shopping at CompUSA is history.

They informed me that they could not help me and I would need to contact the Business Customer Service at 800-625-5334.

    They then told me that I needed to call the coach of the person who took my order and transferred me. I requested a direct number prior to being transferred but they only gave me an extension number.

    I called the Systemax Corporate Offices. After explaining my issue and concerns, I was told that I needed to speak with the customer service manager. I was then given a direct dial-in number. The receptionist instructed me to call the manager then rudely hung up. I called and had a voice message that stated, "She will be out of the office for the next few days and please call the 800 number for assistance."

    I am resolved that Systemax is not a customer service driven company. My account is left with insufficient funds because of this.

    I bought an unlocked, WiFi phone from Comp USA online. I bought the unlocked WiFi phone for occasional internet use w/o a data plan. Apparently, the phone I bought requires a data plan to access the internet. No where on their website did it obviously state that I needed a data plan to use the WiFi with this phone.

    If I wanted to buy a data plan, I would have bought the phone, a whole lot cheaper, from my cell company and I wouldn't have bought an expensive, unlocked phone from Comp USA. I cannot return the phone, but must exchange it. The service rep said look at the website and choose a new phone.

    I can't trust the site to tell me what WiFi phones don't require a data plan. He wouldn't tell me what phones would work, but said to call my cell company. This is the first internet purchase where I've gotten no useful customer service help & have essentially gotten stiffed.

    I'm out over $200 since I could have gotten a cheap phone from my cell company.

    I purchased an extended warranty on an iPod Touch for my daughter for Christmas. I paid a total of about $269.00 to $300.00 for all. About a year and a half, she started having problems with it so I called the advantage warranty. The warranty people tried to fix it over the phone but couldn't, so they sent a return bar code to my email. When I received the email, I sent the iPod back, then called a week later to confirm that they had received it and they did. I waited about two months for them to contact me but I got nothing.

    I decided to give them a call and they pulled up where they received the iPod Touch but told me I waited too long to call them. I think that as a customer, I deserve better than this. They told me that it could not be fixed and as soon as they received the iPod, they would send me a check for $250.00 but it has been almost a year and nothing. I just cant believe they would take a Christmas present from a child like that. We didn't get the money or the damaged iPod I purchased.

    I think something needs to be done about this because I am struggling in taking care of three kids. I don't have the money and definitely don't have any to give away. Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

    Re: order #F2051199 & P2369963. I don't have much time to go through the whole story but here it is in a nut shell. I ordered a PCI-E card for a customer with anticipation of installing a system for them which would net me about $1,000. So I find the best deal at Tiger Direct. I order it and request 2 day shipment. I get my account pre-authorized. Two days later, no card. I call up and find the order was cancelled at the warehouse for unknown reason. I asked them to send it out for a second time. For a second time, they pre-authorized my account the monies. This causes a sweep which I have to pay for and locks my account for "suspicious activities". I wait 2 days and the card arrives. Great! It's the wrong card. They sent me a PCI card, not a PCI-E card.

    I call and get a bunch of ** that I have to pay for the PCI card to be returned and only when they get the wrong card back will they ship me the correct card. I ask for a Manager and got a nice man who promises me he will ship my PCI-E card immediately at no charge and he will e-mail me a return for UPS. I get the e-mail, print it and await the arrival of my PCI-E card. My wife tries to give the UPS driver the wrong card and he won't take it.

    I call Tiger Direct and speak with Leonardo L. who tells me that this is correct; I have to take it to a UPS warehouse. I explain the nearest one is 90 miles away (one way). He tells me there is nothing I can do. I e-mail his supervisor, Lindsay R. and get a response from Nazhfar **. I am told that I have to ship the old one back before they will ship the new one out. I told him and/or Lindsay and/or Lindon that I was promised I would have my ordered card next day air, by the supervisor at the 1-800 number.

    I am fed up. I told them if I was a criminal I would have kept my mouth shut, sold the $500 card on eBay, ordered another PCI-E card and made money. Now I'm out a customer, out $1,000. I drove the wrong package to Grand Junction Colorado on Monday only to find out the UPS store was closed. UPS picked the ** thing up yesterday and I e-mail the tracking number to the above 3 liars and then this morning I'm told, "Oh, by the way, we are out of the PCI-E cards and are waiting for more." If the people would have done what they said 3 weeks ago, I would still have a customer, still have gotten one of the 34 in stock PCI-E cards and would still have me for a customer.

    I've been treated like a liar and a thief by this company; I intend to never use them again and to pass on to all my IT friends my experience with company. How you going to fix this?

    On 7/3/2010, I walk into the local Comp USA Store in West Palm Beach, FL located at Palm Beach to buy an Nvidia 3D Vision Kit that very morning. Before driving out, I checked their website and the price was marked at $174.99 on both Comp USA and TigerDirect. So, I am like, "Cool, I do not have to order from Newegg and can get it today. I look around the computer section and could not find it, so I ask one of the floor sale guys and he's like, "Yeah, I'm not sure if we have any left, but they are behind the high dollar value counter." I nod and follow him. He pulls it down and says, "Right here." I am like, "Cool, how much?" He scans it and the price tag is $199.99,

    So, I said, "No way, I just checked this morning and you guys had it listed at $174.99 on both Tiger Direct and on Comp USA's website." He says, "Well, if that is the case, let us check and if it's that price, it's the price you get it at." Low and behold, on both websites it's marked at $199.99. I was thinking, "Am I going crazy?" He goes, "Well, if our competitors have it at $174.99, we will match that price." I was like, "Yeah, Newegg has had the price cut going for a while," and it was of course when he brought it up at $174.99, he's like, Yeah, we will match that price, but I have to check with my manager." He comes back and is like, "Sorry, the manager won't drop the price, you're better off buying it from," I cut him off, "Yeah, I will just get it from Newegg."

    Well, once I walk outside, I bring up both Tigerdirect.com and Compusa.com on my phone, low and behold, 30 seconds of walking out of there, the price is at $174.99. I then am like, "Well, I will go home and check it out." I go inside of the store one more time to check the $199.99 as I jump on one of their computers, and low and behold, it was $199.99 and I am like, "This is rigged." I go home and check again, and the same thing - $174.99. What poor quality service and intentionally rigging their own websites in house at store locations to keep consumers from getting the deals/prices they promise/advertise.

    I actually had the same dilemma at my TigerDirect/CompUSA here in Clearwater, FL. I went to buy a couple hard drives about 5 months ago, so I can have some extra data storage room in my other PC. They had these 1TB seagate drives marked at $69.99 on the website, both on TigerDirect and CompUSA, so I figured I would buy them from the store instead of the risk of damage in transit from Newegg. So, I went in to buy 2 of them, and when I went over to look at the price, it said $89.99. I went and asked one of the associates and told him that I just saw it on their website for $69.99, so just like you, I tried pulling it up in their store PC and it says $89.99.

    So, just to be sure, I pulled out my phone and looked it up from my phone with the associate right next to me, and on my phone it says $69.99. I had asked him why it is showing up as different prices, and of course, they didn't have an answer. And even then, they would not honor the price. The manager said he was not going to go by the price on my phone. I just decided to walk out and take my business to Newegg. I am not going to sit there and argue over $20, when I can buy from Newegg without the hassle. I don't shop at CompUSA/TigerDirect anymore. I don't care if I have to wait a couple of extra days to get my products. I would rather avoid business with them. The point was not the price, it's the principle.

    I purchased two laser printers. Everything went smooth until I received two printers I did not order. I needed two networkable models and the two I were sent were non-networkable models. I called TigerDirect's customer service and was advised to reorder the printers and they would send me a return authorization number so I could send the wrong printers back. Well, I received the wrong model printers again! Once again I submitted a request to return those two printers. I have yet to receive a return authorization for any of the incorrect printers and still fighting with TigerDirect. I have spoken to at least a half dozen people in the company and they keep telling me they have to wait for the third-party warehouse to issue them an RA before they can issue one to me. The consequence is mainly just the inconvenience of having to spend three times the money in our original budget. I just ordered the printers I needed from somewhere else and that other company got the order right the first time.

I am a doctorate student at Nova SE University, taking summer courses and desperately need my work on my laptop. I called the Tiger Direct on Flagler and explained the problem that the power cord seems to be okay, it appears the connector is not working.

    Tiger Direct refused to even look at my laptop and told me they cannot fix it because it is damage to the laptop (without ever seeing it). I told them I have a warranty and asked what am I supposed to do. They told me to go and take it to a computer service center and pay to get it repaired. I am trying to get my laptop fixed and it is costing me money I should not have to pay after purchasing a $179 extended warranty.

    My parents purchased as a gift for me a flat screen Polaroid HDTV in June 2006 from the now out of business Circuit City. Since the purchase, the TV screen went black within the first nine months. Luckily, it was under warranty; however, the repair shop that I had to physically transport the dead set to was about 20-25 miles away. Even after getting it there, the repairman said, "Well, if I get something in I'll fix it right away." That didn't happen and I was without a television for nearly a month. Now, here it is a little over two years, June 2010 and as I'm watching the same set, the screen starts to fade with a bunch of colors vertically on the screen and then nothing. Of course, there is no warranty anymore! This is absolutely the worse experience I have ever had in my life with a television set.

    On the following month, they added a $95 interest charge!

On Wednesday evening around 8:50PM when I was building my computer, we realized the motherboard I was sold was the wrong one for the chip I had ordered online. I called the store and told them I was 5 minutes away and would be right there, I just needed to switch out the wrong motherboard for the correct, more expensive one, to fit my processor. The girl on the phone said they were closing, which I can understand but she said if there were still customers in the store when I got there, I could come in and make the exchange.

    I got there around 9:05PM and the last customer was ringing out. I pulled up front and was immediately greeted with the door being closed in my face and the operations manager, Joe **, who kept giving me the cutthroat signal and kept yelling "we're closed!". I just spent 900 dollars not 2 hours ago and this ** can't let me in 5 minutes after closing to switch out a motherboard, which I was wrongfully told was the correct motherboard for my processor. I owned my own retail store for 7 years and there is no way I would've ever treated a customer like that! I can't understand how you could have someone like that representing CompUSA.

    As a result, I returned the Asus motherboard, Seagate hard drive, OCZ DDR3 memory and Windows 7 for a total of 616 dollars. The only reason I did not return the case and power supply was because they were opened and I didn't feel like arguing over a restocking fee. Buying a new computer should be a positive experience, not a negative one. I used to shop at CompUSA for all my computer needs. However, in the future, I will not be spending any more money at CompUSA.
