Ok so I have run into some Diehard people that only buy from New Egg or Tiger Direct. Personally I like New Egg over Tiger b/c the web layout is better and they have better deals it seems. What do you think is better and why?

More about : egg tiger direct

Good results with both - depends on what you want and the cost.

They usually are comparable on prices but I have to give +1 to TigerDirect for something NewEgg does not have....a storefront.

CompUSA is TigerDirect. If you are one of the lucky ones that still has a local CompUSA (me...thank you very much) you can find that running down to the local store gets you the same savings. They also have a corner dedicated to sales, refurbs, dent & scratch stuff. Excellent savings if you are there at the right time.

Honestly, I live in Hawaii, and both places overcharge shipping like crazy to here ($18.80 for an $4 SDHC card, really?). The fact that they refuse to ship Ground to here really pisses me off (I sell a lot of stuff on eBay and I can ship a 10 lb box for $10 or less). I have to find the unlucky people who post their computer cases on eBay without stipulations about shipping to Hawaii because it saves me $60 from NewEgg or TigerDirect.

Well I just got done with the hardware part of my build and I will have to go with new egg bc shipping was extrememly fast but I can't forget that my local micro center really helpped me also

Anytime I'm looking into a purchase I will read up on it at "Newegg". They have a great site for research including multiple pictures and information matched by no other site. I purchased most of my components from New egg but not all. Its a great place to start comparison shopping. I found my processor cheaper at Micro center and the video card at Directron. Tiger Direct is OK, but like I said Newegg is the best place to start.

I chose Newegg because based on my little experience they worked fine for me and RMA was easy albeit unnecessary but hey everybody makes stupid nooby mistakes onetime or another

I Have Been Using Newegg Since 1997!

Been using newegg for years now, can't even remember. Only used tiger direct once, and it was great also. The only thing I don't like about newegg is they don't work on weekends any more, and there packing is going down hill. I ordered a armor+ pc case from there, and it shipped in the original box not a big brown box, and the box came open, and it actually was coming out of the box when it arrived. Luckily it didn't get damaged. But still, I order almost all of my stuff from newegg.

I personally like NCIX.com. The site layout is easy to follow and they have tons of great deals every week.

Hey Guys,

I actually work for Tiger Direct in the B2B department... I use this forum as a great source of information when helping out my customers.

I use both sites myself as price is always an issue.
Tiger is a great company and they do take care of their employees.

With that said if anyone ever needs something, I am happy to help out.
I have flexiblity on pricing and access to a lot more items that are not listed on the site.

I need to work with the Tom's hardware people to see how I can help with some of the members... I don't want to soliciate on the forum without the proper authorization.

Thanks Tiger ... your welcome to post here anytime.

Please flick a PM to Joe Pishgar who is our community manager just so we have you on our list or company reps.

It is good to have people to answer queries.

Unfortunately as I am in Australia I can't access either of these stores to buy stuff which is a pity as both offer significantly lower prices than local on-line suppliers here.

Here in Australia there are a lot of smaller on-line technical retailers.

Well, if and when you do, just let me know and I will give you some personal service.

Never used tigerdirect before, it takes a bit to get me to add a store to my list, and newegg is at the top of it right now. But anyone who has a rep actively posting on tomshardware deserves a look - and you will get it whenever I order more parts!

Anyone?

I have to say that newegg has had excellent customer service whenever I have had an issue occur and is usually the same price or cheaper then tiger direct. Their site is also easier to navigate IMHO.
September 7, 2012 6:14:46 AM

Used newegg for a while. Its VERY easy to navigate on that page, they put up all helpful info and tutorials. Major props for that. Problem is that if u r in california, u have to pay retarded sales tax which often kills the deal when compared to tiger or amazon.
April 12, 2013 12:21:27 PM

I always use NewEgg.com now. They always have great prices and usually free shipping! The customer service is amazing as well. What more could you ask for?!?

I used TigerDirect in the past but stopped because they kept sending me items that weren't exactly what I ordered. For example, lets say I ordered a Gigabyte brand graphics card... I would receive something generic but of the same type. They would always refuse to correct the order also.

**Edit

Wow sorry to bump such an old thread. I'm new here and didn't realize how low the traffic is. It was on the first page still!
