I purchased a laptop on November 30,2015 for our daughter's Christmas present. She has been having lots of issues with it so I called to exchange it. I was told that they don't honor anything after 30 days so too bad. Nothing they could do about it. This is a brand new computer and we paid a significant amount of money for it. I will never shop there again, and I am telling all of my friends to never shop there either.

Ive dealt with Tiger Direct recently and in the past. Mostly I order PC parts. They always ship them fast and its always been the correct part. They have some good prices too if you keep an eye out for a good deal. I think the problem with the low review here is that these are "squeaky wheel" folks. They are more apt to complain than people who have had good experiences like are going to compliment the company. For instance... 1000 people use tiger direct and have good experiences... 20 leave good feedback. The rest go on with their day. They wont look for for websites to compliment the company on. Say 100 people have bad experiences... Those people are looking for an outlet and are VERY much more likely to find a website to complain on. Which is what you have going on here. I like Tiger Direct and have had good experiences with them. In fact I just ordered an AMD CPU from them for a great price. I use NewEgg more, but thats due to availability and selection

I purchased a refurbished desktop computer from Tiger Direct in October 2020. The delivery was supposed to be made in 3 - 6 days. The computer has not shown up and is apparently back ordered. It is now December and I received a letter from a company called PCM from El Segundo, California. The letter says that if my computer doesn't arrive within sixty days it will be automatically cancelled. Also I can cancel now by calling PCM's number, which I tried to do but it disconnects my phone when I call. I have now purchased a computer from another vendor.
Tiger Direct's customer service is no help. I tried to contact them and told them I need to cancel the order, but they do not respond, other than trying to get me to purchase a tech support scheme they have which costs money every month. The person on their chat was also very rude, and I still have no way of cancelling the October order.
I think this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced.

Being a computer professional, I often find myself looking for great deals on relevant technology. Tiger Direct it a great place to start! Shipping, price and customer service are top-notch. Many items qualify for free or reduced shipping. I have used them dozens of times and have never had a single problem.

Laptop
April 6, 2015

Ordered a laptop from TigerDirect. Received quickly at a lower price than other companies. Great product. Use it for banking, games, letter writing, surfing the web etc. So many choices to pick from, great customer service, Many different sizes, choices on what you want install on the computer, every price range. I have purchased many items from TigerDirect and have been satisfied every time. Good company.

Very reliable store
July 15, 2019

Ordered the product Friday night; took delivery Tuesday morning. Plugged it in to charge up. Two hours later I was transferring data/programmes from the old laptop to the new one. I have had it for over a month, no problems (yet).

I placed an order in early Dec for 2 laptops, I only received one. Long story short, I called numerous times, and was told they had to do an 'investigation' because they weren't sure what happened. Each time I called, their customer service reps were not only rude but weren't able to provide any info. One guy that I spoke with had a rooster crowing in the background. I also sent emails that went unanswered. Finally a whole month after I placed the order I was told that the item was out of stock, no apologies and no remedy for the situation. Their website states they will not charge for any items not shipped but they charged me for both laptops and now I am chasing down the refund. I will never order through them again!

I bought a refurbished desktop tower for my father from Tiger Direct. He is very happy with it and the tower looked almost brand new. Searching for specific specs made my shopping very easy. Their prices are almost unbeatable and the selection is very good. I took one star off because the site is a bit cluttered with so much information about specs, reviews, advertising, etc. Not as cleans as I'd like.

Stay Away
August 14, 2021

This company is a scam. They never truly have stock of the item ordered. Instead they steal your money while processing the refund. No customer service. I see why amazon and Newegg has destroyed this company

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.

Terrible customer service! Bought a laptop, didn't work, it took me over 3 WEEKS to get a new one. Problem was a bad hard drive. Apparently their "vendor" had swapped out the original one with a really cheap one. Awful.

I would not suggest ever purchasing a used or refurbished computer form Tiger Direct. The service was incompetent when I needed to find an answer as to why my new "refurbished" computer did not work from the get go. I had to get another one and get a friend who was a tech to help me. They NEVER came through. The square trade purchase was a waste of money and no service. I also purchased surveillance cameras from Tiger direct in Tampa. The Swann service has never come through. No service on either behalf. Lost me as a customer in Tampa, FL

I used to purchase a few things from Tiger direct about 10 years ago. I don't live in the region any more and thus have no interest in receiving their promo emails. The emails come at a frequency of 1 a day and sometimes 2 per day. When I click unsubscribe I get a screen saying that my order could not be completed (there isn't any order) and that I must call a number. I called the number and they said they would remove my email from the list. I got more emails.

Also, I made a rule in gmail to delete all emails from them and they still come into my inbox. How is that possible?

Because I ordered a few times from them, I can now not get rid of their daily onslaught of marketing emails. This is a terrible service.

The photo shows the screen that pops up when I click unsubscribe.

You can get it here dirt cheap. If you are not in a hurry, you can put yourself on a contact list and see when price is reduced or name a price and by advised if reached. Their special dailies are to die for at times.
I built a $3000 computer for around $900 using this method.
Know what you want, this is the place to shop.

Great Experience!

I ordered a 50 inch screen TV from TigerDirect and had no issues whatsoever. They had the best price and shipping was free. The TV was delivered in a very timely manner. Also a good site to utilize if you have a shop runner subscription for even faster two day shipping.

I have purchased my last 3 laptops from Tiger Direct. I always save a ton of money and the laptops have all been great. In fact I still use 2 of them. I sold the other one. Quick to answer questions and help you any way they can

Paid for a webcam. No mention at all on their website that the unit was not in stock. Days later I receive an email saying it's back-ordered. No one at TigerDirect answers the phone or responds to chat inquiries. Total scam. Do not do business with this company unless you enjoy throwing money away.

I bought a Western Digital Live Plus media players that arrived not working. Called after 4 emails went unanswered and was told I would receive a RMA # & return shipping label within 3 business days. That was over 2 weeks ago and counting. Very poor customer service on all levels. I make several hundred purchases per year online, and absolutely would NOT recommend this website for any purchase. Don't let the low prices lure you in, most of it is junk!

They have changed
June 24, 2015

I have used this company for years. Never any problems, but things are different now. I think they are going out of business. You cannot get anyone on the phone. Shipping is delayed for weeks and parts do not ship as promised. Everything is backordered or drop shipped from the manufacturer even when it is said to be in stock. Beware of them.

Mis-representation of item sold. Customer support via email is non existent as even after 3 emails I never even got one response. After complaining on another review site they actually called me about my problem but never called back and never resolved the issue (refurb laptop that arrived with non working hard drive)
