Many of you know that I purchase computer gear from Tiger Direct (frequently). It seems that when you need something, it will be on sale at Tiger Direct within a few days. My only complaint is that their business model relies heavily on manufacturer rebates. I have had two rebates amounting to $70 that have been impossible to collect. This has not kept me from shopping at Tiger. I have saved several times that amount in recent months.
It has been an irritation and I have complained often. Yesterday while ordering a computer LINK (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1009927&Sku=N52-2614) for a customer, I was told that I would receive a notice within 5 days stating that I have a $70 credit for my next purchase. This was not through the manufacturer, it is from Tiger. I consider that a nice recovery. That $70 will go toward 512MB of PC3200 memory.
