I started looking at their prices for parts about three weeks ago. Two weeks ago I remembered NewEgg and raided them. Haven't gone back to Tiger. No-name goods at bad prices, terrible policies, and a lot of junk.

And if you do find a good deal there they will screw you on the shipping.

I ordered a 22" monitor from them a couple years ago and they charged me $56 shipping and handling which was fine with me. I told some co-workers about it and they asked me to order 2 more, when I got to checkout they were trying to charge me $150 shipping and handling per moniter!

I called and they said there had been an error in the price and, rather than change it they were making up the difference in the shipping.
