The missives from the Pres are particularly obnoxious. The rebate process is a huge pain - I bought a monitor once with a huge rebate - the forms we had to fill out were tortuous and used non-intuitive language. It took over an hour to go throught it all, and I had to get the bookeeper involved - 9 weeks later I got a message saying my rebate application had been rejected because it didn't meet their 'qualifications' - never again will I buy there. There's lots of other good stores out there -- when asked, I always suggest newegg or mwave these days - I too was burned by the TigerDirect rebate bait tactics. I jumped at the chance to get a Viewsonic 20.5 inch flat panel display. When I submitted my rebate request I found out that I had to purchase a new desktop or laptop in order to qualify for the rebate. On top of that the Viewsonic's DVI didn't work. When I tried to get a replacement TigerDirect begged out of it stating I had to deal with the manufacturer. Viewsonic acknowledged my problem and issued me an RMA but when the replacement never arrived I called and found they didn't have stock any more. I had to send my new monitor, paying for shipping of course, to have the repair it. They estimated 10 working days after they received it. Unfortunately I'd already given away my previous monitor and couldn't be without a display for 3 weeks. Every time I revisited the issue Viewsonic claimed no inventory so I ended up using the standard VGA interface rather than the faster DVI. I had another bad experience with TigerDirect. I stay clear of TigerDirect. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
