Had to find out the hard way that the MB I ordered does not support things as well as the add stated. Their own programs for updating the BIOS does not work for any 64 bit OS. Also only had tests for memory for a few companies. The rest a guy never heard of. The tech support from the MB company was childish at best. When in doubt chat with Steven W. at Tiger Direct. The only place a guy will stay with you and hunt down a problem to the end. Total support, stands by the product no matter what. We have new memory coming and the return #s for the other ones. Quick, easy and totally painless. I have used Tiger many times and I will not shop else where. Their people are professionals with the attitude to get the job done and the customer happy. If you have a question ask it before you buy with that neat little chat box in the upper right hand corner. Tigers delivery service is second to no one. I'll have another order for them shortly. Thank you Tiger and Thank you Steven W.

I cna't tell you how many times I have ordered from Tiger Direct and never had the opportunity to write a review. David Nieves, you are the best with knowledge and customer relations. If you are in trouble and need help, dial Ext. 5940 and ask for David. Great place to shop.

I just purchased a TV from Steve at Ext. 5833.  
He was excellent in helping me with my order, patient while I decided which to buy.  
Also, he was totally polite, informative, and respectful. Keep hiring people like Steve.

Fast shipping, packed well. Had to return a DVD burner from initial order had no trouble.  
 
Overall great service and pricing.

I've purchased a number of things from TigerDirect.ca and most purchases have ended badly.  
 
Most recently, I purchased a refurbished Gateway laptop from TigerDirect.ca. There were problems with the system from the get go - the system overheats and crashes when i'm using graphics-intensive programs. As well, the DVD drive was buggy from the beginning, and died shortly after the 3-month warranty period expired.  
 
I also purchased 2 new Maxtor 250Gb external hard drives. Seemed like a good deal, worked fine initially, but died within a few months. Both of them. They were sale priced, and now I know why. I couldn't send the drives back for replacement because data can be recovered from dead drives, and I had business information on the drives. So I'm out even more money.  
 
I tried to discuss these issues with customer service at TigerDirect.ca but found the experience pointless and frustrating.  
 
Based on these unresolved negative experiences, I don't expect to make any further purchases from TigerDirect.ca.

I had a sad experience with tigerdirect.ca. It all began with ordering two hard drives to set up a RAID system. After long waiting, I received the drives, but none of them seems to be working. The two representatives I talked to were awful. One told me to call Hitachi to find out whether my computer system is compatible with the hard drives and get verbal confirmation. The other told me that I would be able to get replacement drive in 3 days because they have warehouse in Vancouver. I placed the replacement order and it came in 13 days! By that time, I had to buy additional hard drives from a local store. Now I have to return the replacement hard drive, but found that they did not reimburse me for return shipping for the first return. I was tired with fighting with their representatives and decided to keep the replacement drive. This is so sad.

I had made a big purchase so that I could set up a office network of 18 computers. It took the 2 weeks that they said it would take and it came right to my door. I set up the network within the week to find that the patch panel I had purchased is a bit flaky.  
Everything came well packaged so I do not blame tigerdirect for this.

Terrible. Memory upgrade that shipped was incorrect. Getting ciustomer service to even acknowledge this much less do something about it has been about the worst cust srv experience ever. I don't know if they are just dense, dull, in denial, or lying... but getting THEIR problem corrected is impossible. And this is not the first experience in this with them.  
 
If you want great prices, go for it. If you want to become invisible if a problem with the order occurs, go for it. If you want integrity and problem solving, stay as far away from these people as possible.

It is the first time I bought from tigerdirect, I could have reserched more about it. I bought a video card because of the price is good when MIR factored in. Unfortunately, after almost a month it is defective. By defective, I mean: my two systems both hang with the card, by replacing the card, my two systems work fine. Since I already cut the UPC code, return is toally out of the table and I could only exchange it. Also, I have to buy another one to use its box to ship back my old one.After 5 days waiting, and 10$ shipping fee, I sent back the old one. But they told me it is not defective, and charged me a 15% restocking fee. I don't know how they tested the card and made it work. After all those time and effort put in this purchase, it simply doesn't justify the original little saving from the offer. Not to mention the horrible reputation of their MIR.

When buying from TigerDirect.ca, pray not to get a defective product. If it happens, you're doomed. They will reject all responsibility about it. In my case they decided to credit my account rather than exchange the item and I had to pay all the way: pay to get it to my door and incur the fees to return their junk to the store. So I'll never be fully refunded and at the end of the process, I realized that I lost much time and money to get nothing else than trouble. Maybe the good place to buy a mousepad...

Some people collect stamps. Some people collect hockey cards. Then there's Tigerdirect.ca - they collect Unsatisfied Customers. Just read the reviews here and their abysmal rating. It's not just one or two cranks - it's almost EVERYONE.  
 
My story: Made the big mistake of buying from Tigerdirect before checking the comments here. If I had read and heeded the preponderance of negative experiences related on this site about Tigerdirect and its anti-customer policies, I wouldn't have gotten ripped off, because the order would never have been placed.  
 
Found a Belkin 1250va UPS on their website for $171.99 minus a $50 mail in rebate , with final price of $121.99. To good to be true? It sure was! After receiving the product, which was shipped promptly, I went to d/l the rebate form from the company that handles this for Tigerdirect. Found that the rebate was only for $30 (or "up to $50 if you buy both the 1250va and 1000va units). There was NO MENTION on the website or during the order process of "up to $50" or the fact that you needed to buy *TWO* different UPSs to even qualify for the $50 maximum. I sent an email to Tigerlink.ca and got a brief reply stating, "the rebate offer is for up to 50.00 and nowhere does it state that this rebate offer is exclusively for that amount. Your rebate clam is only for 30.00. There is no hidden Language in this rebate form/offer". Notice the agent for Tigerdirect stated specifically that there is no hidden language in the rebate form/offer. That's because the hidden language was on the Tigerlink.ca website where the order was made from, not the form that came after the fact! Trying to reason with these guys is like nailing jello to a wall. So basically they hook you with the promise of a nice rebate, then after they have your VISA number and the product is on the way, the truth comes out - too late to do anything but appeal to their customer service dept. which in turn just plays the Denial Game. Do yourself a favour and STAY AWAY from these guys. I fell for the lure of a great deal and got conned. If you are reading this now, at least you are armed with the feedback from many buyers about Tigerdirect's dubious business practices and may govern yourself and your hard earned dollars accordingly.  
 
My next mail order experience will probably be with NCIX or one of Tigerdirect's other competitors with much higher ratings (not that having a higher rating than TD's 3.xx is a great acheivement).  
 
Latest e-mail basically states they have "resolved" (read: walked away from) the issue. Absolutely nothing addressing the cold hard facts presented to them in my complaint. So there you have it, the Tigerdirect complaint handling procedure in a nutshell:  
 
Step 1: Deny anything wrong ever happened  
Step 2: Ignore the facts of the matter  
Step 3: Declare resolution without resolving  
 
NB: The item was taken off TD's page shortly after I complained to them, and now TD has put it back up and corrected the Rebate info on their website to reflect the true amount of the rebate on this item. So now thanks to some old fashioned back-peddling, they can claim the info on the website is correct. Didn't think at the time I'd need to do a screen cap.  
 
Subsequent complaint to the SWO BBB didn't help my case much except for yet another complaint on their company report (I think they are shooting for an even 100 complaints by spring).

I ordered an LG Lightscribe DVD Writer.Usually this is shipped next day but I get email stating this is going to be drop shipped from LG and "NO RETURNS" Well my order was now delayed and arrived Jan 22. I open the box and in it is 2 pieces of sponge on the top and bottom with my writer in between..OPENED no box. I ordered NEW and received an open box.I called but 3 times was on hold for oven an hour each time.The 4th time waited until someone answered YES over an hour again I finally spoke to a CS agent and I got the runaround they wanted to send me a shipping invoice have me print it make arrangements for shipping back and once they receive it then they would reship a new one.Like I was not delayed enough.This did not work for me considering my time was worth way more than the aprox $20.00 REFUND I was looking for.But a no go they would not do anything else.They finaly budeg and offered me the discount on my next order...As if there was going to be another order.Funny considering I have spent between the Canadian and US tigerdirect over $2000.00 in the last 2 to 3 years.I guess my buisness is not worth $20.00. I have no problem giving someone else my $$$$.I hung up with a very bad taste in my mouth I do not like BEING RIPPED OFF.I called back today and yet again over an hour until someone answered.I did not want to speak to the CS agent and demanded the manager.I gave him the same story and NO GO.I said how can I speak to someone higher that can give me the REFUND. He says he is the Canadian Sales Manager and this is the highest.Funny i spoke with the Sales Manager of Canada 2 months ago and his name was Mick not Justin?? I mentioned then to him that I would try and take this furter and I am looking and figured this was a good way to start.DO NOT SHOP TIGER DIRECT...They will eventually RIP YOU OFF  
THANKS

Don't buy. Salesman encouraged purchases, and told of recieving rebates. Rebate company is a sister company, onrebate.com , checking with BBB very low score. nothing but promises. only buy if you don't plan on rebate.been months and only recieved less the half of rebats sent.after lots of promises emails go unanswered now.
