Start.ca generates the bills on the 1st of the month, and expect payment (payment is due) on the first of the month. The bill is not even sent in advance like a normal bill from any other company. I can understand the first month (when you sign up) it is not possible, however each month after it is not hard to generate the bill and send it to you 2 weeks in advance. NO company I know of does this. The other problem is they require your banking information, so they can do automatic withdrawals. I refused to provide them, because I have problems with companies taking money when it is not there. They keep asking me for this information so they can stick their greedy hands in my account at will. They constantly remind you that it is prepaid servie (and I know that) however its entirely possible to have such a service even if the customer refuses to provide the bank details and makes the payments manually. It is unethical to force customers to make automatic payments. Customers should be able to choose whether or not they feel comfortable enough with the company to hand over such details, and I simply am not comfortable with ANY company having my banking information. Horrible business practices IMO. I am currently looking for another provider.

Tip for consumers:
Make sure you are ok giving up your credit card and bank details so they can take money when they feel like it :) Also make sure you are ok with bills being generated and due on the same day. If you can handle this, go for it, they have great service. If you however are like me and dislike giving away banking information, avoid them at all costs!

HORRIBLE! THEY SHIPPED TO WRONG ADDRESS, and held my money hostage over 2 weeks. I will be leaving negative reviews ALL OVER until they give me interest on my money they held hostage.

STAY AWAY FROM TIGERDIRECT IF YOU WANT YOUR PACKAGE.

IF YOU WANT TO THROW MONEY AT THEM AND GET NOTHING, BY ALL MEANS PLACE AN ORDER!

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT USE TIGER DIRECT AT ALL, USE GOOGLE TO FIND SAME PRODUCT ON A DIFFERENT SITE!
