They say TV shipped 9/18 (7-10 days out)

Google hits me too. Worse review. I had fun with that.

Then I decide to call.
20 minutes and a lot of "press ,sumpin", bad music and reasons why I
should choose Tiger direct, it occurs to me "why am I waiting on the
phone to tell them I am tired of waiting on a TV"? So I hung up.

I tried Email and the response was some bull**** about problems at the
shipping department

Were they lying when they said it went out on 9/18 or are they lying
now?

1900 EST and nothing back from TD

Why didn't you support your local merchant?


$300?



My recollection of "Tiger" is that it put out some nice printed
catalogs. The one time I was going to order something substantial from
the company, I found it for less $$$ on Amazon. I like Amazon for
purchases and have obtain a lot of "big ticket" items from them. Almost
100% of the time, the delivery is on time and at no extra cost, thanks
to Amazon Prime, and the few times I've had returns, they were handled
easily and my account was credited before the item was received back at
its return facility. Amazon emails you a return label and as soon as the
number on it is accepted by the carrier, you get your refund.

We have a couple of big box chain stores, Best Buy, Gregg, and one
other, but their prices are higher than Amazon's and they don't offer
any real inducement to shop there.


I can see why you'd love Amazon:

And Amazon doesn't carry anything made in China, eh krause? Only about a million and
a half items.

So what's the difference between WalMart and Amazon? Oh, wait, you don't like the
WalMart clientele (more racist **** from you, eh?).

Vietnam service? WAFL.
