CEVA delivery of TV: Do they still do the same, or do they just bring it in the house and unpack it?

I purchased a Panasonic 65" plasma and it was delivered by CEVA yesterday as "white glove service". They did all the things that you mentioned, brought it in, unpacked, attached the stand to the TV, turned it on and made sure it worked ok.

I'm in a similar situation friendlyherb. I don't have/want cable. The tv I now have is a relatively new Samsung analog tv (with separate antenna on top).I ordered the DTV converter box for the coupon several weeks ago(my reciept stated it would be in mailed out 1-2-09 and should arrive in nlt 10 days). So far I have not recieved the 2 ordered through the mails (stolen in the mails or never sent).bottomline: I'll take my chances with the converter box with/without a coupon, then go from there. I'll wait to see how all this analog-to-digital nonsense plays out first. If i go without a tv in the interim so be it. Probably better for my mental health anyway.

If you purchase from Expressions of Time, the item is delivered inside your house, to the room of your choice. The item is unpackaged and removed from the premises. This is your opportunity to discover any damage so, in the event there is damage, the delivery company can remove the item. There is very little assembly required. The glass shelves must be put in place. Assembly is the customer's responsibility.

Elizabeth, Ups guy will come but he will not pick up he mattress. Experience! You need to talk with amazon large item department. They will schedule pick up with Ceva freight company. It will cost you around 60$. Which u might able to waive if you think item is not as described.

No they bring it to your doorstep. If you catch them while they are delivering it, they will also bring it into your home if your not able to lift it.

The first couple of flat panel displays I bought I always made sure to add "White Glove Delivery", and it was always the same run-around of the Online Store promising one thing but the Shipper fulfilling the order delivering a far different experience. Don't expect any set up from a Delivery Service/Freight company. Just be thankful if they carry it in the house / apartment for you. The first plasma I bought didn't even get that far.It's not a big deal, and I'll continue to buy TVs online because the price is superior, but I'd wish Amazon would communicate a little better with their Carrier contractors and tell them what is expected of them. Or, alternately, just stop promising what Carriers refuse to deliver.

The TVs come packed in a box with Styrofoam corners to pad it. As long as the item is repackaged properly and handled with care then you should have no problem moving it to a new house undamaged.

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?

Ceva is horrible. I paid in full for a treadmill almost two weeks ago and I still haven't received it yet. It was first scheduled for delivery on October 29. I stayed home that day waiting for delivery and it never arrived. I was then informed that the delivery had been rescheduled for October 30th. I again waited all day and again in never arrived. I then checked and found out that it was yet again rescheduled to be delivered on November 2nd. I've already wasted two days for Ceva to do their jobs. I would steer clear away from any item that is delivered by Ceva and buy locally or buy from a vendor who uses a more reliable delivery service. Ceva is horrible.

CEVA for me was excellent. I was even offered early delivery. The TV showed up on time and in excellent condition. My driver did everything he was supposed to do. He brought the box into my house, unboxed the TV, attached the stand and waited until I hooked up my source components to check out the TV. He was fast, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. He also hauled away the box and all packing materials. I guess it is just the "luck of the draw."

It will be unpacked. They will also check the TV to make sure that it's working properly. Not sure that they will install the TV on wall mount.

Having done curbside delivery on several items it does not usually include bringing it into your home, especially up stairs. However, when you receive notification for delivery you might be able to get the delivery company to provide the extra service. For a fee of course. I have been lucky that all my deliveries have been destined for my ground floor so the delivery people have been terrific and brought it in where I needed it. The safe was an exception because I had a small step that the pallet jack could not get over. Other than that the delivery person was great in helping me get it inside as far as we could go.

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 was very unhappy with the CEVA delivery person and let Amazon know about it. The driver called me the night before it's delivery day, asked me if he could bring it at 1 pm "or sooner", but didn't show up until 7 pm on delivery day. Amazon's posted delivery was between 6 & 8 pm which was fine, but I ended up wasting an entire afternoon waiting for the driver to show up. Also, the guy was unfriendly and impatient, and because he was by himself, I had to hold the TV while he screwed in the base during setup as well as lift it up onto the TV cabinet. He obviously didn't want to take the packaging because he told me "I've delivered 20,000 of these, and only 200 people wanted me to take the packaging away". Lol! He also said Amazon "will not provide packaging" in the event the set has to go back. So yeah, VERY disappointed with the "White Glove Delivery" by this company.

My TV was shipped in original factory box. Not to worry as the delivery folks are obligated to unbox, assemble, set up and make sure it is working to your satisfaction before you sign and accept delivery.
