"Reply to tigerdirect.ca comment : absolute BS I called 7 representatives between the 26th and 31st of December who all swore it was in stock and would ship the next day + a email who said I should receive it early the next week, your reply is has weak as the entire shopping experience...... As of yesterday you still show ed this projector has being in stock order today ships today and today its listed as ships in 24 hours and you come here saying it's backordered?
Just plain wrong....
Ordered a Benq W1000 projector on the 26th of December 2009,
I bought it from them because on the item description it said :
"Order today ships today" which is absolutly false and misleading.
Since last Saturday (6 days ago) I've spoken to no less than 6 different persons from their costumer service dept. who've all told me the same story one after the other
"It'll ship out tommorow", "you'll receive the shipping info tommorow", "a email has been sent to a manager","the manager sent a email to shipping to release the item" etc etc etc over and over. Bottom line is it's at the same status since Sunday "Not shipped yet" they were all feeding me the same lines not actually cheking anything, it's now Thursday an guess what... still hasn't shipped.
The worst was the email I received from them : "You should get it early next week", that's the entire email.....this was on the Tuesday and it hadn't shipped how can he say I'll receive it if it hasn't even shipped out? No "Hello" or "good morning" to start a email from costumer service?
Update on the 31st of December at 16:00 no email nothing from tigedirect this is now my status : Backordered..... JUST PLAIN TERRIBLE!!!!!!!
Bad experience, false advertising, false claims of same day shipping, abysmal costumer service, waste of a week of vacation time and phone calls just pathetic.

"EXCELLENT SERVICE FAST AND PROMPT THE WEB SITE IS WAY TOO MESSY SHOULD BE EASIER TO NAVIGATE, "
"Out of the three laptops that I have owned in the past four years, I find this laptop to be superb! The use of carbon fiber over metal is great for people who have sweaty hands like me, since it does not leave sweat stains. The laptop has a lot of cool features like face recognition log in, data lock which prevents data from being copied from your hard drive without your permission. You don't even hear the cooling system on this laptop. The only downside that I have found so far is that you can't upgrade to Windows 7 for free since it is refurbished. Definitely a buy if you are on the fence for this laptop.

"I have dealt with Tiger Direct many time previously with total satisfaction and I must say that my shopping experience is still to my utmost satisfaction. Thank you Tiger Direct."
"Great service so far -- easy to order, products as advertised, fast delivery."
"Box containing the part was damage, but the board used to ship the part was not. So my conclusion is someone sent me a package with a part that could have been damaged, which I don't like much."
"All items are very informative!
Very easy to place order. "
"My order was shipped promptly and received in excellent condition."
"Great dealing with TD! I got the best price by far,shipping was free, and I got it within 3 days, even during this busy Christmas season. Very satisfied."
"We received our order before we expected it. This is about the 5th time we have made a purchase from Tiger, and have never experienced any problems. I don't even hesitate to order anymore, their prices are great, as is their service."
"Excellent price. Fast Delivery, even though it shipped to Canada from US. No complaints."
"Always a pleasure, but I wish Tiger had a distribution center in Western Canada to reduce shipping costs and speed up delivery"
"Below is my original review. Very shortly after posting it, Alex at TigerDirect wrote to me to offer help with this. In all the online and mail order companies I've dealt with, (and there have been many) this is the first time a company has shown and given such caring assistance! So, when asked would I purchase from this company again, my answer is YES, definitely! I have never received this kind of help from a large company. TigerDirect is now my favourite!!! I will definitely recommend them and will definitely buy from them again!! Thank you Alex for your concern.
Below is the orginal review:
The service was excellent - super fast shipping! But the item arrived with a front face plate unfastened inside the package. The package was also extremely dirty. Not just dusty - my fingers were full of a black sooty substance - the entire package was covered in it. I'm really disappointed about the face plate, though. I don't have time to return it and receive another before Christmas and it's a gift so I'll have to give it like that which is going to look really bad for myself and for TigerDirect. "
