Tipping Pilot Freight: Did you tip Pilot when they dropped off your TV?

I had to read them their contract to get them to take it out of the box and the guy still grumbled. No tip. Besides, it's their job. Unless they go beyond what they are supposed to do I say, no tip.

I'm sure a Home Depot would be good at carrying tips. Rosin core solder does keep the tip life longer. Take your tip and iron with you so that the clerk can get you the match you need. Sometimes they don't know, so having that with you will help them get you the correct tip(s). Hobby shops may also be good in that area. With the changes at Radio Shack, I do not believe they would carry tips anymore.

They did for me but later shut the service off until I provided a receipt for the receiver. They told me I received stolen merchandise from one of Amazon's partners that actually provided the receiver. It was all a bit fishy as they didn't indicate they notified Amazon at all of the "stolen" merchandise.

I haven't. How would YOU like me to. Explain the process you would use and I'll duplicate it and give you the measurements. I assume by "tip" you mean only the small push-on rubber pad that cushions the carpet/floor end of the came. Just let me know

no...but it may be different from the seller, because it is kinda marketing. Anyway, nothing comes with tips except small carrying bag. I suggest you to contact each seller directly.

Make sure you buy extra tips. If you drop it when it is open it will break off.

I can not say yes or no. Did not see anything like that when I signed up. If someone throws something at the screen I would doubt it would be covered since it wouldn't be a result of the tv failing

It depends on if it is overpacked. Tips once in a while but not often and not a problem. I LOVE this thing!

After much back and forth, I was told that the driver will bring it into my apartment on the second floor, but only through the doorway (through Pilot). It should be here soon and I'm going to try to tip the guy 20 bucks to move it upstairs to my bedroom.

I just wrote a review of the Panasonic 50" Plasma. I mentioned that the person delivering the TV did everything "White Glove Delivery" is supposed to do except provide two delivery people. If I hadn't helped him he wouldn't have been able to set the TV up onto the stand. He did haul away the trash afterwards. I don't think Eagle does more than provide delivery to a freight company that's local to the receiver. After that, any ham handed delivery man can toss the unit around so that it "rides" in the back of his truck. If Amazon sends it via "White Glove", they have paid the shipper for the service, including the two delivery people, trash removal and to set the TV on it's stand. Local freight companies contract with Eagle for doing deliveries so a call to them is evidently needed.

Nicholas, On the set up all they are suppose to do is deliver take out of box, plug it in to the wall and turn it on to make sure it works then take box and packing away. Now, will that happen? No probably not. But that is the extent of what is "set-up". If anything needs to be put together like the stand that is up to you. They have a sheet you sing off on for all this but you might not see it. Then again my guy forgot and left his behind.Oh I'm on the east coast BTW. But yeah pilot isnt very good. BTW that plus dragging the tv behind him and mud being tracked in the house is a good experience from pilot at least from what I read LOL.

Yes it does tip. I works like an actual dump truck but your child can take it apart.

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!

Hi Richard, I ordered and paid for the TV on 1/29/13 and it was delivered on 2/8/13 and i was told I had until 3/4/13 to return it. Pilot was the delivery company that Amazon used and once the TV was returned I received a full credit to my credit card in timely manner. I was pleased with the return process. Lena

Sue, did you request set up service? I was told that that was something that was only available by request from Pilot. I live in Washington state.

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.....
