Packaging of this TV? I was at least expecting it to come in a larger amazon box for protection?

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers. The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

I do not have this TV (yet; I ordered one and still await its arrival), but that may just be the dimensions of the package. The TV does look wider than its height (almost 2 to 1).

It's a 2012 model. The TV weighs less than 60 pounds. Dimensions in box are irrelevant because Amazon delivers.

Shipping such a large item is going be cost around $100 for freight. We do not incorporate our freight into our sale price, we want our customers to know exactly what they are paying for. This is a Manufacturer Refurbished TV and it comes with a Fantastic Tobishba Full Warranty. Thank you so much and happy holidays, hope to hear from you soon :)

Mine just came in a larger box. It arrived in good condition and unripped although when UPS threw it on the floor the outer box split wide open.

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.

Mine is on a white (REMOVABLE) sticker on bottom-if this is missing you MAY have a reason to worry. You MIGHT be able to convince DirecTv to activate it long enough for you to go to specs-it displays all this on screen-when it's working but you must have a legit activation card-without this you're in a sort of catch 22. I'd expect it's INSIDE somewhere but NO ROOKIE should try that (opening box)-Speaking of box-it is also on the ORIGINAL box-but that probably is gone. J T

The DVD should have been in the box. I would call your seller and they can have them send you one at no charge. I know the factory too will do this. Are you sure its not in the packing materials? Mine was somewhat hidden but there.

The tv came in its product box which was bubble-wrapped and inside of a larger box. This shipping box was 34" x 56" x 8".

Look at it this way, do you honestly know how it would have been shipped to a store? Amazon is pretty reputable company, wouldn't guess they'd do it any differently than any other.

Definitely contact the manufacturer. When you order a TV to be delivered, you often have to try several times to get a good one (like myself)

yes, it came in the original box. There was no damage. I have never had a problem with anything that comes from Amazon as far as packaging.

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 don't have the exact size information of the box available, but there was several inches of packaging material all around the TV set to protect it and the box added significantly to the overall weight. It arrived intact with no damage, looks great and operates perfectly.

Just got my 65" tv I was so exited. But when the delivery guys left I opened the box and there was a big crack on the screen. They just told me to sign and print my name and left. I was so exited I didn't think of checking before signing. Amazon said they would contact pilot co. to set up a pick up date and I would get a refund. I hope I really do, Or I'm out $894. So mad for not checking.
