I was wondering if anyone has ever ordered from Tiger Direct. If so, how long did it take for your order to get to you? Have you had any problems?

Yes, and they are very dependable. If I remember correctly, you can choose either fed-ex or ups to ship.

Newegg is also very good when it comes to shipping.

fedex is quicker depending on which method you use. i think it may be more expensive. they both have tracking and are good for shipping. i know that DHL ships on weekends though. Fedex and UPS generally dont, though unless you pick the Saturday method. They dont ship SUndays though.

yeah, I will do that if the prices are somewhat the same. But if I get it anywhere else, it's $200 more expensive....so...I'm in a shitty situation.


Called the sons of bitches up today. The girl that I talked to was real nice, but their whole system is flawed. Evidentially the guy that said it was going to ship within 24hrs from thursday lied to me. They didn't have any in stock. They just kept taking orders online and ran out of actual products to send. They said there was a shipment scheduled for today. I was able to get 2-day shipping from her for free instead of the ground shipping just for the whole hassle. But I have no idea what I am going to do for leaving dates. Should I go to college on Weds, have someone ship it back to me at school (get it probably weds the next week by everything is done) OR should I wait till I get it...which may be Friday. DECISIONS DECISIONS (i know none of you care about this whole situation)

Let's all just agree and say that fucking online ordering is cheaper, but it comes with a price of high stress and waiting.

I prefer Fed Ex. They seem to deliver quicker than UPS. Also, their tracking is more precise.

stupid fucks. They should give a discount or something to try and compensate for the errors in product order placements. If they keep advertising on the site that the item is still in stock ready to go, they should be 100% confident in their advertisement. If not, fucking post it or atleast give you a straight up answer when you call the first time.

They seem to update the location of your delivery more often than UPS.

Just go to school. I don't even order my books until after the first class, which means I typically don't have my books until after an entire week of class. It's never hurt me.

Called the CompUSA fucks again today and they said their order that was supposed to come in yesterday never registered...aka they don't have any PC's. She said she had no idea when anything was going to change.

Nyck, I'm probably going to give the middle finger to CompUSA and go order it with overnight shipping from amazon.com. It's a +$24 dollar difference, but i'd rather pay that dinero now rather than twiddling my thumbs for another week (or even two).
