I placed an order 08/18/22 for a birthday present. Received the order 08/23/22 very quick except it was the wrong item. I promptly called trying to ensure the correct item could be received by the birthday and was told I needed to open and take pictures of what was received. I did so and emailed the images. Since 8/23 the only contact from this company was initiated by me. And the request for a review of the product I have still yet to receive. When calling customer support I have received a basic "it is what it is" statement and no one can give me a response on when I should receive the correct item. They are now waiting for me to ship the item they sent incorrectly before they will issue a replacement order for the original purchase. This is unacceptable and will never fix the fact my son didn't receive his gift on his birthday or shortly after. I am furious and they refuse to accept any blame in this situation.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/09/02) */ Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience. Upon checking, the return label was sent to you on Aug 31. Kindly have the unit sent back to us. We'll process your refund after we received the item. Please do let us know by replying to the email that you received from our Returns Department. Thank you kindly Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/09/02) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) The item was shipped back via *** yesterday. No amount of response will undo the fact someone did not receive a birthday present by their birthday because of your staffs negligence. The order was placed in enough time. Item was originally received in enough time but due to the customer service response and policy in place the replacement wasn't not shipped in time for birthday or party (a week later) regardless of my attempts to give your associates enough time to correct the issue. I jumped through hoops to make sure my child received the item they requested. Took time off of work to ship it back. And was told by an associate "crap happens" in regards to the return policy you have. This is not a return this is a shipping error made by a company at the expense of a customer. Either way I am at the losing end of this and ************** quiet frankly. I will never allow anyone I know to be put in this situation with your company again. I have experienced many shipping issues with several companies and never had this level of customer service before. The bottom line, I ordered a product. Your people shipped the wrong item despite the information being displayed on the outside of the package. I was refused the item I ordered and payed for until the product you sent in error was received back. A young man did not receive his present due to your error. This is *****************. Did I mention your customer service rep raised her voice at me being frustrated... and another acted like they agreed with me and my frustration. This is the worst group to deal with. Never again. Send what I ordered and lessons learned. Never again for anyone I am able to warn. Good luck Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/09/06) */ Hello, We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. We have submitted a request to process your full refund. The amount should reflect to your account in the next 2-3 banking days. Thank you kindlyInitial Complaint

We need a $486.29 refund for ******** right away for the returned 18TB Gold that you shipped in error, we did not want this item so we mailed it back.

I returned 2 items worth $291.83 and $120.39, within the company's refund guidelines, using their return authorization. (see attachments). ***** tracking shows ************ received the 2 items and signed for them. Over 6 weeks later, I still have not received a refund. When contacted by telephone, they claim to have never received them and rudely told us it's not their problem. For some reason, PC Mall ***************** got mistakenly attached to this complaint. Please ignore any reference to them.Business response

The website is misleading on standard overnight shipping. At my time of purchase, nowhere on the site or in the terms of services does it state standard overnight shipping is exclusive to business days. I paid an exorbitant amount of money for overnight shipping and ended up waiting several days from purchase date with no notification that weekends were not covered delivery days. I have sent multiple emails to the customer service department requesting contact or a response with no success.Business response

I have to say I'm truly disappointed in *************** for continually rejecting my purchase even though the I had the money for purchase on my debit card. I have used *********** before and never had these issues. *************** told me that the reason my debit card was being rejected was because the card company was declining my purchase. I got both my card company and *********** on the phone and my card company said the funds were available and that *********** was oddly rejecting my debit card payment for no reason at all. *********** verified my information and said the order would be shipped but they never shipped my order. They offered me 50% off my shipping cost because of the problems I've been having but I dont feel it's enough for what they've put me through. They also told me something odd they said that taxes would accrue even after taxes were paid on the total costs I've never heard that from any merchant before. I'm a paying customer like everyone else so treat me as such.Business response

Doing business with *************** was a disaster and nightmare I had to wait a week or so after they told my item was ready to ship a week before to tell me that the item I ordered was out of stock at the where house and I had to wait another week to see if it would be available even though their website guaranteed 3-7 business for the order. I got so fed up I just cancelled the order. Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2022/06/10) */ We apologize for the inconvenience, we can't guarantee dates on when to have stocks, we can only provide estimate lead time.

Business Response /* (4000, 13, 2022/06/13) */ Mr. ****, The item you ordered was really out of stock that's why it didn't ship. Thank youInitial Complaint

On April 4th I ordered an *************** as a graduation gift for my Daughter. (Order #********* in the amount of *********) Unfortunately she doesn't like ****** OS so I received approval from ************ to Return it on April 28th, well within the 30 return policy. I mailed the laptop in its original packaging, with all accessories at a local *** Store. It was shipped to: **********************************************************************************. It arrived on May 5 in receiving and was signed for by "Will." Although ***** Directs return instructions state that it has to be sent to ***************************, *** stated that Rowland Heights shares the same zip code, and that there is only one ******* with the same address in that zip code. I have spoken to customer service telephonically on 4 occasions in the last two weeks and twice via chat. I've been told on each of those occasions that I just need to "Wait another 48 Hours" for them to resolve the matter. I've also been told that they can't locate the laptop. Attached you will find the original RAM Authorization, the *** Proof of Delivery, and the RMA packing slip instructions.Business response

I consulted through a chat representative service about which computer/desktop will be best to purchase for my needs. I was advised to purchase a desktop which I did for the amount of ********* + tax + shipping for the total amount of ********** When I received the desktop, I was surprised it didn't connect to my display to find out that the desktop does not have an optics/video card and it is completely useless for me. I requested a return for which I was advised that I will be charged the shipping fee and 15% restocking fee to which I agreed (I figured I better lose a few hundred dollars than lose all ******** I kept waiting for almost a month, while inquiring in the meantime about an update on my return, and finally I receive a response because the product is not defective it will not be accepted for return, and case closed. This is just unbelievable. All I want is to return the desktop that is not defective and sitting useless in the box in my house because it does not have an optics/video card, pay the shipping and restocking fee, and receive a refund for the remaining amount. I am not trying to be unreasonable here - like I said and tried to explain over the phone to a TigerDirect customer service rep that kept talking over me and hanging up the phone on me - I just need a solution here. But keeping a completely useless product that is brand new and not getting a refund is not a solution. I would greatly appreciate it if you can help me solve this issue with TigerDirect.Business response

I send the product back week ago, I have emailed the Company three times already (May3rd, May 11th, and May 14th) for an update but I haven't heard anything back and I haven t been refunded yet.

I purchased 5 zebra label printers the rep broke into two orders 2/1/2022. They did not send me the correct model and I was finally able to return three per an RA XXXXXXXX X/8/2022 but the other two printers they are not responding to any of my requests to complete that process. If I call they tell me I have to talk to my rep. If I call or email the rep I have received no further responses. I emailed the group that sent me the RA info on the first batch only to be told they did not have a return request for said order and are not even dealing with my request via that email. I feel I am caught in a loop so no one has to deal with this return. I have attached the RA for the three and the email chain where I am asking for the other two to be returned and how to handle. That is the last I have heard from them.Business response
