Complaint Review: TigerDirect.ca Retail Location

I bought a brand new computer for school from these fraudsters less than 2 weeks ago.

I spent over $1800 for a top of the line Acer notebook computer with TigerDirect's 3 year extended warranty added on.

The computer display driver crashed the minute I turned it on at home.  I live over 2 hours away from this store and was very upset to find that it didn't work properly when I got it home.

I returned it to the store and was told that I would have to pay a 15% restocking fee even though the product is defective. The technician checked it and said that it was Microsoft or Acer that would have to deal with it and that they wouldn't return it without charging me the fee. I would have settled for a credit to buy something else in store or online but instead I was told that it was my fault for purchasing something which runs Windows 7 and that I should have expected problems with a new Operating System.

I will tell everyone who will listen what a horrible experience I've had with those thieving b*stards and will post in every forum I can about what a lousy company TigerDirect is.
