Ordered a wireless router from Tiger Direct over a year ago. They talked me into a software package telling me that it had rebates equal to the price. I didn't need the software secirity suite but the salesman told me he thought it would do hard drive recovery which I did need. Well it did not and the rebates didn't add up to the price so it was not free as presented. There were over $100 in rebates however in 9 parts. It was a pain to submitt, lots of hoops to jump through but I did it. I received 1 of the 9 rebates but the system said that 8 of the 9 were sent. After a few calls I thought it was all straightened out. They sent 7 more checks. The bank returned them to me as bad checks. I have them. After many calls to onrebate.com and Tiger and faxing evetrthing in to both several times it is not resolved. They sent me 1 more of the checks. The 2 checks I received were for the lower amounts. This is how Tiger Direct works these days. Everytime I faxed them the bad checks I woudl get an e-mail telling me to wait 8-10 weeks that is another 8-10 weeks. It is now over a year and I only have a fraction of my rebate.
Tiger Direct used to be a good company. They were bought by Systemax who also owns onrebate.com The rebate thing is a scam, don't fall for it!!! Bad checks, nice touch Tiger!!!
