TigerDirect.com - any experiences? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mr. Mike · 09-26-2004, 02:43 PM

They look like they got some seriously good deals. Im looking for a good price on a front projector. I realize you get what you pay for, but the ones they have with the specs I want, are around 900 bucks, when in the store theyre over 2000 bucks. Seems too good to be true, but you never know.

Anyone deal with them, and what do you think of their service?

crockett · 09-26-2004, 02:44 PM

yea tigerdirect is good to buy from

(they list the bad 1st so don't judge by the first few)

AndrewKanuck · 09-26-2004, 02:45 PM

Yeah - they're good for the price

Steen2 · 09-26-2004, 02:47 PM

They sure aren't a scam, if that's what you're asking.

Service isn't great though, but if it's a good deal, I would still buy from 'em.

You should also dig around at NewEgg.com, they have over 70 models, a few under $1000. They usually have great prices and look at their reseller rating 9.70

They are fucking awsome, I buy from them all the time.

The warehouse is in my hometown of naperville, illinois.

They ship multiple times during the day and night.

I ordered a dvd burner and blank dvds wednesday night at 11pm, got it thursday, regular ups.

Great deals, great shipping, automatically gives you tracking numbers and anything you need. Deffinately the way to go.

Wutcha buying?

Jdoughs · 09-26-2004, 02:55 PM

Yep and www.tigerdirect.ca is good shit for us in the great white north

Mr. Mike · 09-26-2004, 02:56 PM

Awesome, thanks for the replies. I ordered from BUY.com once and shipping sucks so bad, I'll never deal with them again. Could be just my luck, but 1st impression means everything to me.

pushpills, I'm getting a Projector, I need something with at least 1600 lumens cause I cant really make the room Im gonna use too dark during the day. 1600 lumens should do it though. I have a 19 foot wide wall that isnt being used, so Im going to project on it, I want a huge 10 ft" screen. Who knows, Im new to projectors so I'll have to play with it and see what happens.

Tony has gotten a few things from them and highly recommends them.

tonkagunner · 09-26-2004, 04:36 PM

got a camera from them. They have good deal with the rebates, but aren't as fast shipping to west coast as newegg.

Doctor Dre · 09-26-2004, 05:14 PM

I've heard about them couple times ... they are no scam ... :P

wdsguy · 09-26-2004, 05:15 PM

I use tigerdirect.ca all the time and they are fantastic. I have no idea how they can offer such low prices on certain articles. Thankfully I've never had anything break. Their customer service apparently sucks, but I've never had to deal with them...
