Newegg vs. Tigerdirect

quiktek · 01-12-2008, 04:12 PM

I was just comparing prices between the sites and newegg blows tigerdirect away. There is a $50.00 difference in the Asus Maximus Extreme between the sites. I have already purchased a few things from tiger but I think I will be leaning toward newegg from now on. The only con is that tiger has a broader selection in brands, but not a big deal.

Newegg also has quicker shipping (in my experiences), better customer support, a more user-friendly site, and overall, it's great. RMAs are a breeze, and they have a chat

I think Newegg is a better site overall as well. I really like the 'Spec' tab that newegg has on all of its products. It makes component comparision user friendly and ultimately a better buying experience!

There's only one MAJOR flaw with newegg, they don't ship to Canada! Tigerdirect on the other hand have a canadian site.

Don't talk trash on the USA. I'm sure 98% of computerforum.com users reside in the states. There should be a poll on this matter.

I wouldn't say this is an advantage for TigerDirect, considering how overpriced they are compared to many other canadian websites such as NCIX, DirectCanada, MemoryExpress, etc.

Besides that, even tho I live in Canada, I find that Newegg has such a user friendly site that I tend to refer to Newegg first when looking for information. And like another user said, their spec page is very useful.

you're probably right... But right now it's in such a horrible mess I'd gladly pay a little extra if it meant not living there. I don't think someone could pay me enough to live there right now.

Your government is a bunch of pawns. The corporate juggernaut controls the country. The pharmaceutical industry in particular has the Administration by the scrotum. The people are a bunch of whiny cry babies, demanding action and when they get it, they scream at the price and blame the government. The special interest groups are destroying what little is left of the Constitution. The Dems are almost facist, saying whatever they think you want to hear and then backpedalling as soon as they take power. The economy is totally trashed. Your national debt is well over 60% of GDP while your cowboy president waves his Smith and Wesson, banking the profits from his investments in arms.

The public view is so bent out of shape they spend billions to prove there's no God and that homosexuality is genetic so they can avoid any and all accountability. The one thing they are gifted at is blaming anyone and everyone but themselves. The elite few are getting disturbingly rich while the rest of America spends millions of dollars in the name of "entertainment". A Hollywood star's boob job makes headlines while the improvished waste away in alleys. The gap between the poor and the elite widens by the day, with the middle class bearing the entire burden of the country's wanton greed.

It's a joke. If that means I have to pay an extra 10 bucks for a computer part, count me in. Today you bomb Iraq, tomorrow the Arabs build a mosque on the Whitehouse lawn, while the populace shakes their heads and wonders what the hell just happened.

You watch. When you run out of bullets, they'll come up to you with a big smile, poke the tip of their finger in the end of your gun while they hand you a turban and the Quran.

lol

I read wayyyy too much politics.
