Tiger Direct closing B&M stores

[mmntech]

I bought something from them many years ago, got shafted on the rebate, and never touched them again.

Overall this couldn't have happened to a more deserving company.

Their stores always had a shady vibe to them. Probably because TD is a shady company.

Never knew they had physical retail stores.

Also, the website name was always stupid, though not as bad as rakuten.com

Yeah. Between their purchases of CompUSA and Circuit City, they kepts some stores opened under the Tiger Direct name.

whoa, what? Not only did I learn, just now, that Tiger Direct had physical stores...they actually bought CompUSA and CC?

They have a horrible reputation. However, during those glorious few months when Bing Cashback was a thing, I probably made a dozen purchases with Tiger Direct and never once got shafted.
They were probably my most reliable online retailer in those days

Meh, they were only down south anyway. I'd love if we had a computer parts store here. On the other hand, I'd probably spend way too much money buying stuff I don't really need just because I don't have to pay shipping.

TD bought the NAMES CompUSA and CC after both went bankrupt. Don't think TD bought out either chain. TD just took the names and assumed the leases on some of CUSA's and CC's old locations, but only a few.

Remember in the Radio Shack thread where I said Tiger Direct was next up on my electronics store death watch? Nailed it.

The company is closing almost all of their physical retail locations and focusing on B2B operations. Kevin O’Leary (Dragon's Den/Shark Tank) has signed on to assist with the transition.



Liquidation sales are already starting.

Hopefully Microsoft is next.

Yeah, Tiger Direct had actually taken over Comp USA in a large strip mall near me next to a Barnes and Noble.

It wasn't named Tiger Direct I forget what it even was offhand.

I'd only went into it once looking for a trackball, it was pretty much dead.

*On a side note, it was in the same strip mall that the closed down Radio Shack had been in*

Dang, hopefully they aren't closing the Galleria store. Very close to both work and home for me.

 

[Carson Dyle]

Won't miss them. Didn't even know they had any stores.

Worst online buying experience I've ever had was dealing with TigerDirect and what should have been a simple RMA some years ago. Never bought another thing from them.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Well when they went we lost all of our computer oriented stores in town.

Did anyone else read this thread title as "Tiger Direct B&M Clothing Stores"?

Now that would be interesting...
