Not Hot Tigerdirect Deals

**jaeger** · June 27th, 2004, 03:07 PM

Let me make this kind of simple: Tigerdirect ****ing sucks. Do not order from the scamming bastards, because rebates aren't the only way they will try to rip you off.

Order from quality companies:

Newegg
TCWO
SVC

I have had very positive experiences with
http://www.targetpcinc.com

Have bought lots of parts, and several computers from these folks. It would be much cheaper if I lived in the lower 48, but they get their orders to me remarkably fast.

Also, I ordered a kit that had 900mhz Duron as part of it. 900 was out of stock, so they just threw in a 1200 for the same price without telling me. When I called them, they said that if I ordered something which ended up being out of stock by their error, they just upgraded at the same cost.

They said this avoids many complaints

Anyone else have any experience with Target PC?

So far, be it from me and some acquaintances, we've bought and received rebates for the follwing from TigerDirect Canada:

Desktop PC (brother)
Laptop (friend)
Projection screen (friend)
Wireless router (I actually made 0.50$ on that deal, since the 40$US covered the 40$ CAN purchase price and the postage fees to send ou the rebate)

Everyone got their rebates and products as expected.

NEWEGG Rocks Plain and Simple,
Ive also purchased from Mwave also ,
But darn it,Every once in a while, I Need Something "NOW" and choices are very limited.
Tiger_defect being very close by.(under an hr drive)
I Guess what really bugs me is just the fact that they regularly offer deals that are to good to be true, BUT alas,They ARE to good to be true.
And this company really pushes these products hard,10s of Thousands of units sold,@ 20 bucks a shot.
Now that they own their OWN Rebate company,AndMarket their OWN Rebates,
My Guess Is It wont be long till they get busted~!!
In the past 6 months, I have acqumulated 10 rebates owed me,All over $20.00,
And All on Soyo or syntax products.
I keep copies of EVERYTHING, Record mailed dates on paperwork, Regularly check online statuses, EVERY "T" Crossed,, Every "I" Dotted,Yet NONE of them get paid out. Even Priority Mail WITH Delivery Conformation gets "LOST IN MAIL"
YEEEEEEAAAAAH RIIIIIIIGHT, Call Me The Pope TOO~!

I Guess Im Understanding now, why so many class action suites get filed these days. Oh Id Love to see one on these guys.
