5/5

posted Dec-22-2008
Summary: I had an excellent purchasing experience with TigerGPS, in December, 2008.
Detail: I ordered my Garmin Nuvi 760 in the middle of the night on a Saturday (Dec. 13). On Monday, Dec. 15, the first business day after I placed my order, I got an e-mail saying that it had been shipped already. Delivery was promised for a week later, which is today, Dec. 22. It did arrive today, as promised (in spite of the near-blizzard conditions we're having - - thank you, UPS!). The 760 is obviously brand-new, as advertised, in the Garmin factory box, with all of the plastic bags factory sealed, etc.
To tell the truth, I had NOT done my homework before ordering from TigerGPS. I had not seen this RESELLERRATINGS website, for instance. I stumbled on it a couple of days ago, and frankly, had I seen it before I placed my order, I probably would NOT have ordered from TigerGPS, because there are lots more negative reviews here than positive ones, which is why I'm posting this review: If you look at the dates on all the reviews, as I have done, it appears that all the more recent reviews are positive, and all the negative reviews are in the past, many of them quite a long time ago, like several years.
So maybe TigerGPS had problems in the past, and they've gotten their act together. As I said, if I had read this website BEFORE my order, I probably would not have ordered from them, but as it stands, my experience with them was 100% positive. I'm a happy camper.
