Do these TVs come well-packed? Is it feasible to put it back into original packaging and have household movers get it to new house undamaged?

If you are moving soon, I'd leave in packaging. It comes very well packed. It may be possible to get back into original packaging, just take care not to break styrofoam when unpacking. Also, the delivery men told me it should remain upright. Neither my husband nor I had heard that before about plasma.

We recommend you inspect the TV to ensure the panel is not damaged when you receive it. You can re-package the TV easily. Also, take photos of the undamaged TV prior to shipment to your new home.

It is well packed around all the edges of the tv. No packaging around the screen or back of the tv. I would have to say that yes you could put it back into the packageing and back into the box.

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.

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 also unsure, hence why I grabbed the U edition right here on Amazon and it was delivered brand new fresh in three days. The TV was manufactured in August I believe too. Very happy. I'd say grab the U model just to be safe.

I own it and it is mostly fine. After a move a few years ago, a yellow line runs down the middle that is only really noticeable on blue backgrounds. It runs hot and is an energy hog (200w) compared to current LCD tvs. Also the contrast and resolution is not as sharp as current tvs even at 720p. The remote only works if you point it at the lower right corner of the TV, where the sensor is. 40" tvs are $300 new (with better specs), so I hope you get a good deal.

Yes always return/exchange via amazon first if you can. They sent out the replacement set 1 business day after I called/emailed about the defective set. You can still watch your old TV while the new one is arriving.

It was brand new and sealed when I got mine,wasnt too worried about a warranty so im not sure, i would think so. I have mine under a 60" 1080p HD and I just love it, haven't turned the tv sound on since !!

I was nervous about this too when I ordered mine in January 2013. But mine was delivered by trucking company (2 men) in the original factory box. These men then removed it from packing and plugged it in to make sure it worked. They also checked the remotes too. They will not install base or setup TV. They will put it in room where you want it. Everything went great with my delivery. This is the best TV I have ever owned and have really enjoyed it. Hope this helps.

The TV was shipped in the original packaging. My first order actually arrived damaged (hard to detect screen cracks), and Amazon was terrific in getting me a replacement within a couple of days. The replacement has been a wonderful TV - by far the best I have ever owned.

I believe you can ask them to just leave the T.V as is without unpacking. But, if there are any damages in the transit then you wouldn't be able to prove unless they opened it for you.

Yes, yes, and yes. You really must plug it in and see it work before they leave, and reject it if the screen has a crack etc. That kind of damage is not under warranty once you accept shipment. But if you insist on their living up to the White Glove delivery service, you will be fine. I think you are going to love this TV. I have the predecessor model and am thoroughly amazed at its picture, and now you can get this for much less than I did way back in 2008.

My Panasonic 50 inch plasma was delivered by 2 men, they carried it up a fairly long stairway to the door, once inside they removed plasma tv from box,made sure screen was not damaged and plugged in TV and made sure it was OK, after that they removed all boxes. I was very satisfied with Eagle.

Talk with UPS on their requirements for shipping a large TV. I used the box with a moving company and had no problems.

I am looking at buying a used tv from amazon.com warehouse with "small cosmetic damage" to the housing of the tv and wanted to know what your experience was with what you posted here.I greatly appreciate your input!

Bought a 32" Vizio from Amazon had NO issues with delivery. Amazon is the only way to go in my opinion. Also ordered a blu ray player no delivery issues.

Hello, thank you for asking. This TV is in perfect working condition. We ship our TVs by UPS. All of our shipments are insured fir the full amount of the purchase. In case of damage you are not responsable. We will replace your TV or issue full refund. Buy with confidence. Thank you.

Yes. I don't believe Amazon provides handling coverage. So if you decide not to open the box at time of delivery you will be stuck with the TV. You will either have to ship back to Amazon at your own expense or deal directly with Sony and there is no guarantee they will cover damages caused during shipping. To be safe, I would have then setup the TV and then have someone guard the front or back door. Put up a police barrier tape or something :)

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.
