Tigerdirect or Newegg

Generally newegg is about as easy a company to deal with as exists. Fast shipping and no hassle refunds/replacements if needed. Generally a bit cheaper as well. To be fair I have ordered from Tiger on occasion as well. I go where ever is cheaper at the time.

I've used Newegg - have not used Tigerdirect, heh.

Depends were you live!
Newegg.ca needs to add combo deals like the U.S. site has.
They simply aren't offered.
Which is ridiculous imo.
I've used Newegg.ca maybe 3 times for Shellshockers.
NCIX/BestDirect.ca is King in Canada.
Occasionally Tigerdirect.ca will have an item cheaper then Newegg.ca and NCIX.
It's rare though and Tigerdirect.ca's selection isn't the greatest.

no one says you must buy every part from one retailer, go with whomever has the best prices at the time

I've ordered from both and I go with Newegg all the time now even if the prices tend to be slightly higher. I always get what I ordered quite fast from Newegg they are reliable and have never had a fuss when returning DOA hardware.

Tiger on the other hand tends to have a slower processing orders, their lower prices tend to be from mail in rebates and that rebate company they go through is actually owned by them and has a terrible history. This is actually a direct quote from someone who worked at Tiger Direct



Overall Newegg is certainly the more dependable and respectable company.

Newegg tends to get stuff to me quicker primarily because they have a distribution center in California. This is actually a negative because then I have to pay sales tax.

My preference goes to tigerdirect (no sales tax). Newegg tends to have better selection, however. Never had a problem with either of them though.

A little something that irked me about TG. I ordered a Microsoft mouse from them several years back. The package was obviously opened ( plastic heat shrunk material around mouse was physically torn/ripped open ). I contacted them about the open boxed item and got blown off. New means new! I did order something from them recently, though out of particular need, but will go back to NOT ordering from these people because the situation was never resolved. I have had ZERO problems with newegg...... other than getting packages "semi wrapped" in god awful brown paper instead of bubble wrap and foam peanuts and boxes inside of boxes.....that's my only gripe. Both places have excellent shipping times.

I go always check Newegg and Amazon, then TigerDirect. Tiger has good prices, no sales tax (since they're in Oregon, I believe), and fast shipping, but they lack inventory, imo. It's good, but not nearly the same product quantity as the other 2.

Newegg has great prices and daily deals, quick shipping, great customer service (phone, not web chat), but suffers from that pesky sales tax... oh welll... can't win 'em all!

Also, Newegg is always my first stop due to the great customer reviews!

Newegg only has tax in States they have warehouses. California and New Jersey are the 2 I know of. I live in Georgia and have never paid sales tax from the egg.

This is eggsactly why I stopped dealing with newegg, almost 10 years ago now. I'm strictly newegg and Amazon myself.

Hmmm I see a typo  

Ah, man, did I get screwed! Ha! Thanks for the clarification.

Also, for those that live near a Fry's (CA and TX, I believe), you get the tax, but they will price match with Newegg, Amazon, Tiger, etc, and they have a nice selection.

If you live in Canada, a combination of Newegg.ca and NCIX.com will usually get you the best deals. Newegg tends to have better everyday prices, and good sales once in a while. NCIX has better weekly sales. Don't even bother with Tigerdirect.

newegg - Tiger Direct has a history of shipping wrong parts, then not taking them back ....even when it's their fault.

newegg orders typically arrive in 1-2 days in CT from the NJ warehouse, but with their standard shipping at 3 days even if it took the full shipping time that's still pretty good nationwide
