TigerDirect Reviews Summary

TigerDirect's reputation has significantly declined, with numerous customers expressing dissatisfaction primarily due to delayed shipments, uncommunicative customer service, and issues with order cancellations. While some customers recall positive experiences with product quality in the past, the current feedback highlights a troubling trend of unfulfilled orders and inadequate support during the return process. Many reviews indicate frustration with the company's handling of refunds and restocking fees, leading to a growing sentiment of distrust. Overall, the company appears to be struggling to meet customer expectations, diminishing its credibility in the competitive online retail market.

I have bought 30+ things from Tiger over the years. They are my go to site for all things computers. They even have video games now too.

As a Tech and small business owner Tiger Direct is my go to store. They have a knowledgeable staff, courteous, 98% of the time items are in stock and convenient. They get a thumbs up from me.

Bought a Acer computer from them and they "give" you a free gift of anti virus protection for 6 months. Then a recurring credit charge occurs afterwards to continue to get the anti virus software. They give no realistic way to cancel the recurring charge as they require the serial ID number from the retail packaging of which I never had as it was directly put on the pc. No other way to cancel the charge or get a refund. I won't do business with them ever again. If you do, make sure you uncheck their free gift of anti virus software.

Not a bad site for computer parts, prices are about average. Still lower than Best Buy, but slightly higher than Newegg. I have not had any problems with this site. Would reccomend.

At tigerdirect.com you can always find great deals. I get calls from "one-source" IT suppliers who want to do all my research for me and then save me money. Nine times out of ten they can at best match the tigerdirect price, but most of the time tigerdirect is a much better value. Buying and shipping are a snap, and customer service is always knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. First place I shop for IT hardware, and usually the last.

I purchased a bluetooth earpiece only to find out that you do not get all of the items that you should be getting with the product. All you get is the earpiece and charger. None of the ear buds that are supposed to be with it or the extra ear hook or the usb cable. Customer service tells me that to refer to their website for whats included in their "bulk package" but no info is listed on the site. If I was to go only by pictures I guess that I was lucky to even get a charger. They will not give you the missing items either. Also they want to charge a 20% restock fee and make you pay for return shipping. Thats ok... I will send it back. The $5 they keep is going to pay for a lot of bad reviews for ecost. Hope its worth it to them. Good news travels fast but bad news spreads like wildfire..

Customer service could be better, but merchandise came fast. Packing material could have been better also, but nothing arrived damaged. Still OK.

I recently purchased an HP computer from this site, as a friend suggested the link. The ordering process was very straight forward and I received my item very fast. I was pleased with the ease of ordering, I just had one problem, and that was they continue to send you various e-mails on using their "free" one month trial of norton or one of those other virus protection programs. I hate those programs, and the majority of times, they are placing virus's in your computer, and detecting them, and making you feel like the program is actually doing something. Other than that, amazing deals.

Criminal organization
February 23, 2012

Criminal organization. They sold me a non-working computer, knowing full well it didn't work in advance. I ordered it with a warranty. The warranty was magically backordered indefinitely. When I got that email a day before I received it, I already anticipated I'd been defrauded. Do not trust these people. Stay away! Go to newegg for computers or electronics. It's wonderful that they didn't swindle a few reviewers on here for products worth 10 dollars, but I'm down 400. Get it?

We bought a refurbished computer and a one year extended warranty. One week before the warranty was to expire the comp. Completely died. We had to pay for the shipping return, but we got our complete money back that we paid for it. It was like we'd rented the computer for $15 a month. Really couldn't beat that. Only problem of course is if you don't remember to back your stuff up you will lose it. But that's one's own responsibility.

I will never buy anything from them again. I order my product they cancelled on me because they said they had too many orders. They told me a week later. I don't think you should be able to complete the order if there is non in stock. Now i have missed a good deal i could have found elsewhere at the time.

Placed an order...
August 25, 2011

Placed an order... it got indefinitely backordered (phone support says they'll NEVER get another one of the item in question) so I cancelled the order... they are STILL sending me backorder emails, and it's been almost a year.

What a crappy site!

Havent had the best luck with these guys, CPUs sent with bent pins in the past, OEM stuff is packed terribly, but some of the HDDs and SDDs are a steal, perhaps worth the hassle if you are pinching pennies.

They refused to assist me with returning the wrong item they shipped to me. Awful customer service experience with onsale.com. Do not buy anything from that site.
