BBB - Better Business Bureau
BBB BBB.org, Better Business Bureau Very suprised ..not trust worthy? miss reporting? deciving info? Internet

I try to check BBB on company's before I buy. but now finding the BBB in Canada allows companys to hide deceptive pratices, unlike the U.S. counterpart. tigerdirect.com, onrebate.com and the canadian tigerdirect.ca are all the same company. The Canadian tigerdirect.ca seem OK, but their NOT, check onrebate.com the sister company that sends the rebates checks out for them.

At the times I bought more items with the incouragement of the sales person, with the PROMISE of a rebate. that never full appeared.

Had made complaint to the Canadian BBB, and my complaint was forward to the U.S., I then contacted the Candian BBB contact with the email below.

" I have noted threw lots of research, Tiger direct.ca, use THEIR sister company onrebate.com, to finger point at. I only ask that the two company's are linked together on the BBB data base. or is this the way a company can hide deceptive sales practices, from the BBB's data? type in, "scam" "rip-off" etc and tigerdirect. on search engine, to see scope of sales practice. Before I buy, I often checked BBB's web site, taking info. with a grain of salt.but this company's is legendary. only second to another company, in there deciptive sales practices. Check there web site, all products are on sale, with a mail in rebate..Hoping to here from you. and hearing they are now links together with complains. "

Well it seems the rep. doesn't agree. So to all, fair warning just because the BBB shows the company in good standing, as long as they point the finger to a shell company for problems, the Candian BBB will not show that shell company, and there deciptive practices.
