I bought my TV from Amazon, but it was delivered by Electronics Expo. The delivery experience was poor because I never received a tracking number from them or notification that it was sent. I had to call and ask for the tracking number and then tracked on my own with the freight company. The freight company was good as they arrived on-time and driver was very nice. I checked out the TV before I signed the delivery form and everything worked out great. I posted a middle of the road review for Electronics Expo and they asked me to remove it, stating that it was freight company's fault not sending the tracking number.

I've never had anything shipped by a freight company, and I'm wondering how that works. Were you able to arrange a delivery time? (Or, at least, it sounds like they gave you a time they would be there, right?) Thanks!

I purchased a Sumsung LN-T4641 sold by Amazon on Wednesday after much deliberation. The TV was shipped on Friday via Eagle EGL freight. I plugged the tracking number provided by amazon into the EagleGL website and got an estimated delivery date of of 4/20. The TV was shipped from Harrisburg on Friday 4/13 and is coming to Northern VA. This morning the tracking number showed that it had arrived at Dulles Airport. I called Eagle and they were very nice and arranged an afternoon delivery on Wednesday 4/18, two days before the delivery estimate. So far, so good!

Just as an update, my TV arrived Wednesday 4/18 as promised. Everything went well, the delivery person helped me carry it up a flight of stairs to the living room, opened the box, helped me remove the TV and plug it in to make sure everything worked okay. He also offered to take the box away but I declined. All in all a very smooth delivery experience. I would not hesitate to buy another TV on Amazon. Free shipping and no sales tax and a great job by Eagle delivery service makes it tough to pass up.

1) The TV rose $135, not $230. 2) Amazon has an EXCELLENT price match policy. I bought mine for $1520 and the next day it went down to $1489 and I got credited the $31 price drop. I wouldn't worry, as I guarantee the price will come back down, probably during labor day weekend. 3) Why did you have to wait to get your paycheck to buy the TV? Sounds like a dumb excuse to me. Put it on a credit card, and that gives you a whole month until you actually have to pay for it.

My experience is not making me happy either. My TV was scheduled for delivery on the 18th. It is the 18th and I had not heard from the carrier, Pilot, so I called them. They had delivered the TV to the Detroit airport and transferred it to Fidelitone. I spoke to Fidelitone and they deliver once a week in my area. The TV is in Canton Michigan today and will be delivered 5 days from now. Interesting since the Amazon site says it has been in Kalamazoo since Tuesday morning. My delivery slot is a 10 hour window. I think the issue may not be with Pilot but with the agents they transfer to to do local delivery. Fidelitone delivers to my area once a week. UPS / FedEx deliver daily. Sigh.....

Sheila: At $278, that wasn't an issue for me. At that price, it's almost a throw away. I'd ask Google. BTW, stay away from extended warrenties. They are not worth the price. If a TV has something wrong with it, you'll know in short order.

My Pilot delivery guys insisted on opening the box and taking the TV out to make sure it was in good shape. I would have asked for it if they hadn't offered first. I can't believe they left your house without being sure.For the future, NEVER accept delivery of anything until you have inspected it for damages. Anything!

Well, I missed the boat on Amazon's initial price of $2849. I'm looking to be just under $3K for the TV, Blu-Ray, and Starter Kit, if possible. US Appliance is now offering a $400 coupon. The total is now $3078, after the $400 coupon and the $30 Blu-Ray coupon. I called to verify. The guy I spoke to seemed very nice and assured me that they are reputable, however, I have read some pretty mediocre reviews about them, so I've decided to wait it out a bit more, until Amazon drops their prices again.

It's funny that Amazon listed EE as having the TV and now they are on back order. EE has them listed as in store only. I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks also because it's a good price when ever they get it shipped.

I can't agree more, yesterday there was free shipping and a lower price. When I checked out today there was a $100 shipping charge on my email confirming the order that had not been reflected in the shopping cart. By the way the TV was $150 more than yesterday. Very frustrating shopping experience. Should have just gone to Sears paid the higher price and avoided the drama.

I ordered this TV and it came in a box that had obviously been previously opened and then taped up.I clicked to return the item - it looks like Amazon is requiring me to ship UPS/FedEx (which I understand) but I'll have to pay for the shipping (at least at first, I think) and then I'll get a refund, not a replacement. I wanted this TV but I don't know if I'll get the same deal by the time the refund goes through.

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

I am in this same boat. I am a HUGE amazon fan, and would Love to buy this TV... however, I don't want the BUZZ.... If I buy from Crutchfield or BestBuy, I know I can have them check it out before I have them ship it.

Hi, Thought I might let you know that you can score a great deal on this tv from Vann's (www.vanns.com). I've never bought from them before but their reselleratings are top notch and a lot of people have purchased from them in the avsforum. They are a Samsung authorized dealer and have an A+ rating with the BBB. I just placed an order for this tv at $1349.98! When you go to the site it will be listed at $1577 but click on the tv and click on the link that says email me a better price. You'll receive an email for $1349.98. At that point you can call the customer service or click on another link that will take you to the checkout. I'm excited. I'll follow up if I have any problems. The sales rep I talked to said that this price would probably be good through the end of the month, but he's not sure. Hope I've been helpful. Thanks

I bought mine through OneCall form Amazon. I have used OneCall many times in the past. I ordered the TV on Wednesday morning. It arrived Friday afternoon. Total of 3 days from date of order.

Is there anything you need to do when you purchase it to specify that you want special delivery times etc? for them to check the tv and all that jazz?

Even though these comments seem to be favorable to CEVA, I have had some big issues. I ordered a TV on July 27. On Aug 3rd, 4 days after scheduled delivery I find out the package has been "misplaced" and I will need to reorder. Well after about 2 hours on the phone between CEVA and Amazon I finally got the package rescheduled for delivery. Today is the 14th, the scheduled day of the re-delivery, and no TV. Now the weekend is coming and CEVA's contact hours are between 8-5 Mon-Fri. CST. I am about to my last straw with CEVA. This will be the last large purchase I make on Amazon...

I paid $250 less thaj bestbuy plus free shipping.Make sure you buy new.one with unopened box. Amazon has great service fore shipping and delivery. The delivery person bring it to the place you want to installa nd open the box in front of you and test voice and picture. Bestbuy and other stores just do the delivery at your door or drop there. From amazon if sound pr picture wont work delivery person will take it back with him.. in case of sears or bestbuy, its hassel to return to the store and you pay return shipping. Recommending you to buy from Amazon.

Everyone just wait - the price of LCD's are dropping 3-4% each quarter, and in this economy, stores and online retailers are stuck with excess inventory - less than a month ago the price of this TV was $1494, and today it's over $110 more - that's absolutely ridiculous. At Best Buy in my area (near Philadelphia, PA) an open-box unit of this TV was selling for $1,609.99 - when a place like Best Buy (with their prices typically $300-$400 more than Amazon) comes close to Amazon prices for an open box unit, I believe that is an indication that supply is increasing at reasonable prices and the price both online and offline will likely be driven down in turn!
