I have just spent over 90 minutes over two days trying to get answers. I found your email through a consumers complaint website. So here goes. We placed an order on 3/7/2011 for many components. We received the majority of the shipment via Yellow freight approximately 3/15/2011. The main part, the server, was apparently back ordered. Now I notice that there was no packing list sent that explain what was actually in the shipment. Had there been more info I would not be having this problem now. The problem is that the software for the $900 server has not come! I have a server sitting here that is useless. I had installers come twice now (first time because we assumed that the server was in the original shipment. second when we got the server) to install and they can't do it. It seems that the software is separate and would come separately - something the order does not say. And since there wasn't a comprehensive packing list we had no idea the software was not in the box with the server. So the installers called on 4-8-2011 to get some answers - 3 hours later the only thing we got out of that call was "it was going to be here on Monday (4-11-2011)" Well that date came and went - no software, no server install... I called on 4-14-2011 and spoke with Otto and Mike only to be further frustrated. Otto told me that it shipped on 3-8-2011 and it was freight (Yellow)! I said its software why would you freight an envelope basically? I finally got him to send over a copy of the order status. I read it and see that the software shipped on 4-8--2011 (which made me think it was on the way - and was due here on the 11th) Wrong. Mike then tells me that the shipment is lost and will start an investigation. I am looking for a simple tracking number - I'm sure you've ordered on line and got an email almost immediately with a tracking number and anticipated arrival date! I do. I ordered shoes and know that they will be at my door when I get home tonight. So I called again today to find out a tracking number yet again! Am told the investigation just started yesterday and would take 8-10 DAYS to complete - are you serious? Make a call, send an email! I inquired as to where the shipment was lost - was it between the drop shipper and your warehouse (cause I was told yesterday that all orders go to your warehouse and then ship to customers) and yet today I was told that it could be direct or through your warehouse. Now we're talking over $1, 200.00 that is just "lost"! Dennis who I was talking with today, told me that I have to wait for the investigation to be done before any refund could be issued. I said I want the software NOW! I said so how can I get the software now and was told I could shop elsewhere! Love how Tiger Direct treats its customers!!! I spoke with a manager - Steve who told me after I asked - that I have an account rep! With a direct number - so all those minutes on hold could have been avoided! So Now I am going to call Rafael Monday to see what the "investigation" has found out! Seriously 8-10 days to just find a simple tracking number...
So I thought that you should know how a customer who spent several thousand dollars has been and is being treated.
