Pilot Delivery Did else who ordered this TV during the thanksgiving sale receive it yet? The delivery company, Pilot has been awful so far, they missed my delivery data and I am getting different answers every time I call them ("It's backed up at the Amazon warehouse", "It was not on the truck", "It's in transit", etc). Even though it's been sitting 20 minutes from my house for a week according to the tracking.Awful, awful service. Curious what others experiences are right now.

Yep, same here. Just a bunch of excuses and finger pointing. Here is the kicker. Pilot is not the one that will be delivering my set to my residence. They sub-contracted it to some outta-state delivery company. I tried to Google them and got nothing. My set is like a week overdue and I haven't gotten a single call from anybody. I am about ready to just cancel, get a refund and get it locally. It will cost more but at least I can get it next day.

Looks like you two weren't the only ones. Some people received the TV, some got their order canceled. Check comments here. http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?t=1219705

Amazon website says that they have the TVs available if we buy them and they'll be delivered in 3-5 business(or so) days, is that true? Did they advertise that in the past and you had to wait months for the delivery?

I think you will see more pop up on Amazon. Talk about funny. I just received a call from my tv salesperson (where I originally ordered the 630 and cancelled due to availability) and he said they were expecting an arrival of about 50 units of this model today and wondered if I had already ordered from Amazon! I told him sorry, I did but that might mean supply is opening up for one last push. Not sure where you are located, but in Michigan, Sears had the same tv in their weekend circular for $1099; no stock in our area but maybe in yours. Good luck

Yes, I am bought this on Amazon and I am very happy with its performance. I think it is a good buy. The delivery company was very good about keeping in contact about delivery, but when the truck arrived, the worker refused to bring it into the house. So you might want to print out the statement about the deliveryman being required to bring it into the room where you want it, and removing packing materials.

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....

You are right about the 4665 price fluctuations. I got it from Electronics Express (through Amazon) for $1950 + shipping, problem is they are out of stock. It's been 3 1/2 weeks since my order. Normally I'd cancel and go through someone else, but I now can't find the tv in stock for any less than $2450! I'm not willing to pay an extra $400, so continue to wait for EE to get a new shipment in.

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 ordered this TV and it came in a box that had obviously been previously opened and then taped up.I clicked to return the item - it looks like Amazon is requiring me to ship UPS/FedEx (which I understand) but I'll have to pay for the shipping (at least at first, I think) and then I'll get a refund, not a replacement. I wanted this TV but I don't know if I'll get the same deal by the time the refund goes through.

My TV is scheduled to be delivered between the 13th and the 29th so I will see, the serial # should be the first thing we check out with Samsung because it will determine weather we can warrant our TV's if so then we are ok, if someone gets they're TV first post on here any updated info.

The $999 is such a super deal, that Amazon very quickly runs out of the stock each time they offer it. I have seen twice this happening after only 24-36 hours of this TV being available. I guess Amazon does not have the certainty of whether and/or when it will receive new stock from Samsung, and does not want to have customers disatisfied due to backordering (a common cause of complaints and negative reviews in other vendors sites). The previous time I had exactly your experience. I saw the deal, thought about it for a few hours, and by then it was gone. This time, as soon as I saw it back in stock, I immediately pressed the "place your order" button. This was on 1/15/10. I am looking forward to receiving the TV in a few days.

I received a Samsung LN32A450 LCD today. It was listed as being an "open box" in "mint" condition. When I lifted the TV out of the box it sounded like there was gravel inside of it; not a good sign to say the least. Sure enough, it was DOA. I called Samsung Support to be safe. Amazon Customer Service was great and arranged for a pickup (at their expense) though warehouse deals cannot be exchanged; I had to start shopping all over again. There's no telling if it was already broken in the warehouse or if CEVA, a new (to USA) shipping company is to blame. For me, it was not worth trying to save $20-$50. My next purchase will be *new*.

If people are having to wait an extended period of time for this unit to arrive it might have something to do with the carrier and the distance it needs to travel to reach you. I know you posed this question back in February so I'm sure you received the unit by now so I'm answering this question in case someone else is currently in a similar situation. If you were expecting it on a certain date and it's exceeded the e.t.a. by at least 4 days I'd try to contact the seller to see if they can shed any light on the situation. I'm about to order another one of these units for myself and I'll try and note the time from when I order it until the time it arrives. Hopefully this will be of some help. EDITED 12/10 I ordered the unit on 11/26 and received it on 12/9 so it took roughly two weeks to arrive, however, I'm not too happy with it. I'm about to do a review now to explain my experience with this (updated?) unit.

My tv was delivered via FedEx on 02/24/2011 with a broken screen. The amazon guys agreed to replace it, but think about my ordeal. Waited 8 days for it to arrive, carried the 26 kg box to my room - cleared the space for the tv, assembled the stand - only to find a broken tv :(...

I just received our Sammy 50" plasma today. The delivery went very well from CEVA (arriving a day ahead of the schedule with Amazon). David (the delivery person) brought the TV into the house, unpacked it, and helped my son attach it to the stand and plug it in. He made sure that we thoroughly checked it out. I purchased the TV from Amazon and it included the white glove delivery. The details of delivery are spelled out on the Amazon website under Shipping rates and policies/related topics/items requiring special handling/TVs over 40". As stated in earlier posts, the delivery person can make all the difference in the world. Wonderful! I just received our Sammy 50" plasma today.

So far, so good. Yes, actually the TV arrived within minutes of my last post. Eagle employees were jerks this time, and the box was not in good shape. Plus, Amazon forgot to schedule them to pick up the defective set, so I need to wait for Eagle AGAIN tomorrow to pick up. So, it was a much more negative experience than last time. But the TV is fine so far. We are just crossing our fingers and waiting. Last time it took a week to show up. I think after a week (or two) we'll relax. I will update.
