Nice (?) to know that TigerDirect hasn't changed in 20 years... They're still incompetent.
Have they dropped the CompUSA brand that they bought from the ashes of that chain?
TD and Buy.com were (and I guess still are) second tier options. I don't know if Rakuten has made the latter any better. There was always some uneasieness surrounding ordering from them, as well as their lack of urgency in fulfilling orders.
Cyberian Outpost/Outpost.com kinda lives on a very outdated Frys.com site.
Apparently dropped in 2012, along with CircuitCity, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompUSA
As far as buy.com, never had a problem with them, but think I only used them when they sold through Amazon. Not fulfilled by Amazon, just another store on the market. Never had a problem, but the main processing of the order still ran through your Amazon account. So there was a level of obfuscation from the direct Buy.com experience.
