Tigerdirect droped EVGA!

This could be related to the 40 to 50 percent declination of monies in Nvidia's 09 fiscal report. First it was lead manafacturers like asus, msi, palit, etc. to cut back on orders, and now it's the actual retail stores that are cutting back on nvidia stock...and it just so happens that evga was to take the first hit. I'm guessing that xfx probably sells more cards than evga on tigerdirect due to their double lifetime warranty, hence the easiest way to cut back on nvidia stock is to cut off evga.....:mad:

Oh well, that's business, will always buy tigerdirect as no CA tax like newegg :p
 
I like EVGA, probably the only nvidia stuff I would buy even though I'm running ATI stuff at the moment. Their rebate process is quick also. On my old card I sent out the rebate and had the check back in under a month.
 
I've never had to deal with eVGA outside of a MIR (which i got in a reasonable amount of time), so i won't comment there. I like the fact that they're releasing a voltage tuner for their cards... that's a pretty cool gesture to make towards their user base. And that was 2 days after I decided to buy another one of their cards... a 260 c216.

...From Newegg :p
 
There are many better options than Tiger Direct: Newegg, Mwave, ZZF, and Allstarshop, to name a few. Newegg are my go to guys with Mwave as a second.

EVGA is a good company with unmatched support. I don't know what anyone wouldn't want to carry their products.
 
Meh. Singling out eVGA as a "brand to buy from" when XFX and BFG provide the same (or more) products and quality support is silly. If I wanted to buy a video card, and TD had the cheapest XFX or BFG of the same model, I still would.

This is all just fake drama over a simple issue that was already resolved between two parties, and random people on the internet are just stirring the pot.
 
Kind of weird that TD is not selling a good nvidia brand card. Makes no sense unless some disagreement between TD and eVGA is to blame. TD's loss, in any case, especially the relatively positive rep eVGA has. I did get my monitor speedily from them at an inexpensive cost being at an APO address, so I can't say too many negative things about TD.
 
Did an XFX marketing person blow the CEO of TD or something? :D

Thats unfortunate, but i dont think that your experiences are necessarily the norm. If you ask anyone who has dealt with me or people like me (which is most of my team) you would experience something entirely different. :)

Funny considering Kyle once considered hitting you with a permanent banhammer.

I like how you cannot comment on what it was, but can comment on what it wasn't...

Where do you live, I ordered from Georgia and from Nevada and I never payed a sales tax.

If a company on the internet resides in the state you live in, you have to pay taxes on merchandises you purchased.

NewEgg is in California, hence Californians have to pay sale taxes. You in Georgia would not.

His use of the banhammer is questionable. I speak from experience.

RussianHAXXOR is an employee (or a moderator) for EVGA. You cannot ask him to break his company policy. He doesn't have to agree with it, but he has to follow it if he wants to keep his job.

Yah, this is funny, because by commenting by saying what it wasn't...he is effectively commenting on it...I don't see this guy getting banned as he is a evga customer rep it seems and this site gets monies from evga...so he is therefore immuned from getting banned.
 
Oh well.

EVGA is my favorite brand of nVidia stickers, but I pretty much shop local and NewEgg only anyways.

That couldnt be further from the truth. :) Nobody is immune from being banned since i have been banned before for reasons that are no longer valid or matter. Kyle and i have a different relationship now and thats part of the difference. Also, the reason why i replied to your response even though i dont comment on what the reason was is because you are effectively spreading rumors about the situation which are entirely baseless and i am just trying to make sure that once the truth is out that it isnt overshadowed by rumors like that.

I get 2 EVGA stickers every time I buy their product. It's usually inside the little manual.

....the stickers on the cooler on the card. All the nVidia crap is all made by nVidia's sole manufacturing partner and then stickered up by their resellers.
 
Some nVidia emo (or sorts) to balance out the ATI 9.1 driver emo. That's my story... ;)
 
When it comes to gpu's TD tends to have better pricing then Newegg in my opinion but i still shop at newegg so saying td is second rate isn't exactly true. They have competitive pricing and theres the tiger tv which is a nice touch.
 
TD and newegg both have good return policies and customer service in general but it all depends on who is cheaper after taxes and shipping that will get my business.

They both lose out. I have actually been using Tiger Direct more than newegg recently due to a few bad experiences with newegg customer service. Either way, I don't buy EVGA products anymore either since their customer service is sub par now too.

Evga's CS is subpar? Try dealing with MSI, Asus, or Biostar.

Zifzoomfly! Have you ever had to return a product with them? Read their warrenty and you are lucky if they even honor it. Buy.com has better customer service than ZZF. I will never ever buy from ZZF again.

Yah, EVGA's customer service kinda sucks IMO. Had better experience with MSI actually.

Msi sent me my board that I had to rma back with half of the heatsink missing. How I dont know. The same board never had a proper bios and updates were minimal. When I got my board back I spent 3 or so days on hold for a half hour and never getting ahold of anyone. The one time I did the CS rep hung up on me and I wasnt even being a dick, surprisingly. The next day once again after being on hold forever I was finally able to have a heatsink sent to me. Keep in mind this was no budget board.
 
No need to ask why he thinks newegg would drop EVGA. You'd have to be pretty naive not to see his hidden agenda.
 
Had to RMA a board and they just sent it bac to me saying that I voided the warrenty because of a miniscule scratch. The CS reps are not very helpful either, not to mention there is a restocking fee for almost anything. You are acctualy one of the first people that Ive heard on any forum that seems to like ZZF. They have a pretty bad rep.

I never said I liked them...:confused: I have never even bought anything from them.

It is NewEgg, then Amazon, then mwave, and last resort Tigerdirect.
 
I go to TD for monitors since they will allow you to exchange them even if there's only one dead pixel whereas with Newegg there must be at least 8, plus I usually get things the next day when shipped UPS so it's great if I want it now or need something in a pinch.

As for EVGA, I've never really cared for their stickers anyway but their CS is pretty good. :p

If i may ask, what is the reasoning for that? Have you seen how many EVGA products have sold on newegg?
Click to expand...

No reason to think tigerdirect would drop EVGA as well....but it happened....I could care less though, if newegg drops EVGA as well. l just get XFX, they are better and they don't need their reps to hang around forums defending their honor.
