Amazon TV shipping: For those of you who have ordered large TVs from Amazon: How quickly did it ship?

Dan, my response is probably too late to do you any good since it has been a month since your original post but if it doesn't help you, maybe it will help someone else. I ordered my 58" 800U on the evening of 12/29. It was shipped out of Indianapolis Ind on 12/30. CEVA called on 1/2 to set up delivery on or after 1/6. Checked tracking and the TV arrived in Dayton Ohio on 1/5 (near where I live). All in all, not too bad. The original est delivery date at purcahse was 1/9. Amazon and CEVA did better on delivery time than I expected. Dave

I had a problem with Eagle. They didn't show up at the time specified two days in a row. Then only one guy showed up on the third day. I went to help him bring it in. The box was in very bad shape and the TV was broken so I refused it.While I had a bad experience and wasn't willing to go through it again, I'm pretty confident the large majority of people buying Amazon products shipped via Eagle have no problems at all. Just because my TV was broken, doesn't mean yours will be. I still recommend buying from Amazon with free shipping. You can't beat the deal and chances are everything will be fine.My two cents....

I ordered mine on a Sunday and recieved it the following Monday - so in my experience it was 8 days. I think it all depends on the availability of the shipping company used though. The company Amazon uses has to unpack the unit and plug it in prior to completing the "delivery" to insure that is is not DOA. With that said, I live an hour from a major airport and my tv was at their center a few days before delivery as they don't come to my area daily. Hope this helps.

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!

I guess I was just lucky, I got the deal at Amazon. I am waiting for the TV to be delivered on Friday.

Hee hee. I know how you feel, I watched pleo with a Dec 18 ship date for a couple weeks while I shopped around seeing if I could find one for less that was immediately available. Over a week before the ship time, I ordered, then called on the 18th asking some VERY NICE (but not particularly knowledgable) CSR in India who told me it would arrive on the 19th as scheduled. I called back that day (the 19th), and they said "I'm still vely soory sire, but the day is not yet concluded, if you do not receive it today, you may check on why this is exactly so tomorrow." Then I found out folks who ordered from Amazon after me, INCLUDING the day before, got theirs the next day. Anyway, etoys came through with a free 3-foot stocking and free overnight shipping. Back to the "Hee - hee" -- I'm pretty darn sure that Mr. B had nothing to do with it. In fact, as a customer with hundreds and hundreds of purchases from his interesting and innovative product-delivery system, this is the very first time Amazon hasn't MORE THAN exceeded my expectations. I would guess that the anticipated quantity was not sent by Ugobe to Amazon. Hey, maybe etoys got Amazon's delivery instead of them! And yeah, Best Buy's pretty good too. But it's about 1 purchase to every 20 that I make on Amazon.

I ordered the LC46D85U on 12/26. Amazon estimated the 8th for delivery, CEVA Logistics (shipper) estimated the 6th for delivery, I was contacted on 1/2/09 to schedule a delivery and they delivered it today (1/5). Fantastic LCD so far!

Mine was here in 2-days, Amazon Prime. Believe it or not they might be on back-order from time to time, it happens, its winter. :)

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

I picked mine up through Costco and have also noted that it's not on their website right now, odd. It was 1,399 w/ free shipping and it is the best TV I've ever seen. You'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

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.

I purchased the same tv from this vendor yesterday too! I have asked for a tracking number but have not received it yet. I am also skeptical at this point. Hoping someone from Amazon monitors this site and can respond and check into this situation.

They started doing this to me 6 months ago. I don't mine waiting but, they should say in stock with delay shipping so I can choose to buy else where. I just order a Blu-Ray player 5/4 will not ship until the 13th. I am not buying warehouse is so big crap. I buy a lot from NewEgg and they have 3 big ones and it is always shipped the day I place a order or next business day. This will make me look more in to Buy.com if they keep this up.

I got an email from Amazon today saying that my TV is ready for delivery. I called up Eagle (CEVA) and they set a delivery up for Saturday morning between 10-2.

Yes one suggestion I would like to make to the rest of the buyers. Don't let amazon tell you to call up samsung and let them deal with it if you are still within the return/exchange period. They told me the same thing when I called. I just emailed them after the call, and voila, the next day I get the email of "we are sorry for your inconvenience, we have shipped your exchanged TV and will pick up your old TV while dropping this one off". Bottom line, if you are still within the exchange/return period, do it through amazon.

Same thing happened to me two weeks ago with a different TV. Amazon would not give me the price I originally ordered it at. Bought it and it dropped back to the original price this week. Amazon price changing has gotten out of hand. Instead of feeling good about the purchase, I feel as though I was duped. It also took six days from the date of order to remove the hold from my amazon credit card. I ended up using my debit card.

Hi all,Mark is correct! The units are almost at Amazon's warehouses, so they should ship as soon as they arrive. Thank you all for your patience!
