Tiger Direct ripoff Naperville Illinois
i ordered a hp nx6110, the ca software bundle with three rebates plus 256 mb memory. even though the process is intense, i received all three rebates and took the fast pay option. additionally, they gave me an rma for the memory because i ordered the wrong type. even though i opened it, they credited to my credit card. all was done in a timely manner.
my advice to potential customers is to call and ask if you have any doubt about the rebate rules. i sent the incorrect upc for the computer because there was a upc on the small box the computer was packed in, which was the wrong upc. the correct one was on the master carton. i learned this by calling after my denial and dealing with a nice gentleman names Jesus. in fact, all my phone dealings were professional and courteous, and afer all is said and done, i feel badly because i acted like an ass on the phone after reading the rip off reports and even acused them that their business model is to not pay rebates. i was told how to resubmit my rebate which i received within a week.
i don't work for tiger direct or on rebate, but understand both sides of the process, was a skeptic, and now am a happy customer.
the computer was a deal, the ca sofware bundle was free after rebates, and the fact that they credited me for the opened memory should defend the bad press they get.
