I placed an order on a Monday for a Backpack that was Daily Deal SLasher and could not check the status of my order till Wednesday. By then the backpack I had ordered was back ordered. Fine I was thinking since I had placed my order very early the morning it would be shipped? Nope Still mind you I didn't have any email stating that the item was Backordered. I found out on my own. Kind of irritated by the situation I called to cancel my order. I was on hold for over 10 mins. That should tell you what kind of company they are. When Al picked up I explained my story and I asked to cancel the entire order. Since the items hadn't been shipped yet I felt that everything would be resolved. With Al confirming my Canceled order I thought I was done. Nope! Today Friday I have half of my order that I canceled with Al's blessing. Still being charged for Tax and Processing and Handling for two items that were suppose to have free shipping. I go to Tiger Direct and it still shows my order pending because of the back order. Never again will I deal with kind of incompetence. Lesson Learned.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"Not impressed at all with TigerDirect's business model at all. Ordered a game that was advertised as a great buy only to find a day later that the game sold faster than they anticipated and they cancelled my order. There was no attempt to reconcile the inconvenience they caused me and not even an attempt to back order the game for me. If they sold out of the game I should not have been allowed to complete the order. Every other retailer can set up their sites that way, why not TigerDirect?","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Tiger_Direct\/review\/2617949#comment2617949","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Tiger_Direct.jpg","store_name":"TigerDirect \/ Systemax","username":"zhongyue","rating":"1"}, "single");){kind=link}

Ordering is easy and fast , and if a unit was not as advertised, they made returning products easy and quick. They have a large assortment of computer and electronic parts and components. Great prices and fast delivery. I have no complaints and have always found this company reputable and honest.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Tiger_Direct\/review\/2597149#comment2597149","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Tiger_Direct.jpg","store_name":"TigerDirect \/ Systemax","username":"natureskid","rating":"5"}, "single");){kind=link}
![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"The product arrived a day earlier than promised and was reasonably well packaged. As it turns out, I returned the product for a refund because the video card actually made my display worse to look at (this was not the fault of TigerDirect).<br><br>The refund process was very straightforward and easy to complete. I was able to print out a return label and complete everything online without a hassle.<br><br>My only complaint with the entire ordering process is their pushing of the extended warranty option - once when ordering and twice while checking out is too many times to ask AND put a click-through graphic on the ordering page is all too much.

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"TigerDirect has terrible service. The merchandise itself is fine. But the ordering process was terrible. When I asked for a simple price match, the wait was long. After they granted me a price match, they mistakenly sent me a gift card of $5. As of today, the issue still not resolved. It is only $5 but I am glad it is only $5.<br><br>By the way this is my first time and probably will be the last time (except to use the dumb $5 gift card refund)","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Tiger_Direct\/review\/2595075#comment2595075","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Tiger_Direct.jpg","store_name":"TigerDirect \/ Systemax","username":"taiL","rating":"2"}, "single");){kind=link}

If you need advice on products, call or email for quick response. Placing orders? Do it online or via email or phone. Tracking info is automatically emailed to you, too. Sign into your online account to get info on past orders, or just contact Jennifer. I could go on, but suffice it to say that she really leaves nothing to be desired.

However, I can't say the same for shipment.<br><br>I placed the order on 3\/24 and received a shipment notification and UPS tracking number the next day. But the UPS web site showed no activity on the shipment until 3\/29. What was going on from 3\/25 until 3\/29? No idea. The package was finally delivered on 4\/2, eight days after it supposedly shipped. Not the kind of shipment performance I'd expect.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Tiger_Direct\/review\/2581615#comment2581615","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Tiger_Direct.jpg","store_name":"TigerDirect \/ Systemax","username":"dkoontz","rating":"4"}, "single");){kind=link}

![Share](javascript:share_rating({"review_body":"The item was shipped with the requirement for a signature upon delivery, though I did not request this when selecting a shipping option. I missed the first attempted delivery, and I asked the carrier on the next day to re-route the package to my work address or remove the signature requirement. The carrier stated it could not modify the shipping terms, but TigerDirect could do so. TigerDirect's representative stated the signature requirement was imposed by the carrier, and that TigerDirect could not alter it. I explained that I have received several thousand dollars worth of merchandise from other merchants with this carrier without a signature requirement. TigerDirect ultimately did agree to have the package intercepted so I could pick it up from the carrier's local delivery hub (~30 minutes from my home). Upon request, TigerDirect also refunded the shipping charges. The product is working perfectly well thus far (I've had it 1 week, and it is providing 3.3 Mbps though I'm paying for 3.0), but this shipping fiasco will likely preclude me from shopping at TigerDirect in the future.","link":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/Tiger_Direct\/review\/2565207#comment2565207","store_thumb":"http:\/\/www.resellerratings.com\/store\/thumbnail\/Tiger_Direct.jpg","store_name":"TigerDirect \/ Systemax","username":"drpatel-168","rating":"2"}, "single");){kind=link}
"I bought a Samsung Solid State Hard drive from Tiger Direct last week. I was advised by the Tiger Direct sales rep that the Samsung was one of the best and should not have any problem instating it in my MacPro. The Tiger Direct dude also sold me the sled to attach the SSD into the HD bay.
First problem was the "sled" Tiger Direct sold me. It was way was too short. There was no way to use this in the sled.
So I installed it without it. Installation was not a problem. Within the 2 days I had several kernel attacks. Reading up on the reviews of the Samsung I soon found there was an issue with the Mac's. A firmware update seems to help some so I went to the Samsung site for the Firmware Update.
After the Samsung update I hoped I would be smooth sailing. I loved the speed and response it gave me. Only I was a little miffed the stupid Tiger Direct sales dude sold me the one SSD that everyone in the Mac world was staying away from.
The irony came when I tried to return the SSD to Tiger Direct. On a Saturday morning I visited the Tiger Direct store in Fort LAuderdale to return the SSD. I did not have the sales slip but made the purchase on my credit card so I felt I was safe. I had kept the SSD 2 weeks to give it a fair try and surely did not feel like making the return in the first place.
The sales clerk girl at the Tiger Direct told me I needed the original store receipt or Tiger Direct would not take back the return. I had the original bag and the packaging had been ripped but was still intact. A week later I found the original Receipt and went back to the Tiger Direct to finalize the return. Now, same girl, she tells my the original packing AND the receipt and required, and if I read the receipt I would have known that. Then she called the manager and all he did was reinforce the girls story. He suggested I try and sell it on Craigs List and promptly threw me out of the store.
I will never set foot into a Tiger Direct nor will I ever make an online purchase from you ever again. I am now stuck with a defective non-usable SSD and a bitter attitude from your dear store people. I will also continue to tell people about the abuse as well as posting my feelings in reviews. If I can stave off even 100 dollars from going to Tiger Direct my job is done."
