Tiger Direct false advertising of item Miami Internet
I got an email from Tiger Direct that said good news but the laptop that I was looking at earlier in the day had dropped 9% in price. I immediately clicked on it and put in cart. The price was wrong, but I thought maybe they will take off 9% at checkout. They didnt. I contacted the online chat and spent an hour checking on it and finally the verdict was they sold out.
