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.

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers.The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

I just got a refurb 46" Samsung LNT4669F from Amazon Warehouse deals and it is fantastic. Plus, we saved well over $600 by not buying new. You still get the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you don't like the condition of the t.v. when it's delivered, just refuse it. If you notice a problem later, call amazon and they will arrange pick-up for the defective television.

No idea. I talked with customer support and they said they didn't know when or if it would be back in stock.It would suck not getting the deal, but after the deal deadline, I'd still be happy with just the TV from another seller. I'd just keep checking back every day.

This TV is not yet released. Vizio appeared to have released it and my local Costco received 10, but when I went to purchase last weekend (May 12), I was told they have a defect and were being sent back to Vizio. This TV has been removed from the Costco web site and the Vizio web site, which had shown the TV as "Now Available" went to "Out of Stock" yesterday and is back to "Coming Soon" (May 17). So we are on hold waiting for this tv. It appears to be nearly the same as the SR version but with twice the contrast ratio (10M to 1 vs 5M to 1). I do hope that Vizio adds a browser to the online apps. Costco had this listed for $1299+ $49 shipping when it was on their web site. I was told that the "in-warehouse" price would be $1249, and Costco doubles the warranty to 2 years.

The price has gone back up significantly. Just before xmas it was about $1899, and as soon as the shipping deadline passed for xmas it dropped to $1595 and stayed that way most of January. Now I see it selling for $1,999.99 When the price was $1595 the TV was being sold by Amazon, now it appears that the TV is being sold by Cruthfield which is why there is a drastic increase in price. If you really want this TV, I would wait until Amazon starts selling it again.

Guys I placed order last night for this TV+DVD+Glasses combo deal $1290. I got 3y warranty and I pay NY sales tax so total is close to $1600. Wish I had a %20 coupon... Still overall a good deal and I can always return it with Amazon excellent service. Will post review in few days. If you have coupons pls send I will try to apply it.

I am looking to buy this tv as well. Bestbuy has it for the same price. + tax of course. i hear alot about a buzz. that is why i am thinking best buy might be the way to go just in case of a return.

Amazon doesn't appear to have this TV anymore. $429 was when Amazon was selling it, now the price keeps fluctuating because other stores are selling it through Amazon. I am in the same boat as you and I am waiting to see if Amazon gets it back in stock so the price might be $429 again. Lets keep our fingers crossed...

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....

My tv was just picked up! Called Samsung and got the same response they gave you - a repairman would come out and if it couldn't be fixed it would have to be sent away for service. As you, I did not think I needed to have a brand new tv sent out for repair and decided to return it. I am now watching my old 19" set (gave my 26" away when I got the Samsung!). Have you had any luck yet? I am considering Toshiba.

No, I opted for my money back and bought a new blu-ray player at Target instead. The Target price was good and the unit worked right out ofthebox. I have been pleased with most of my electronics purchases on Amazon, especially bevause you can get your money back if an item is returned.

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.

Just got my 65" tv I was so exited. But when the delivery guys left I opened the box and there was a big crack on the screen. They just told me to sign and print my name and left. I was so exited I didn't think of checking before signing. Amazon said they would contact pilot co. to set up a pick up date and I would get a refund. I hope I really do, Or I'm out $894. So mad for not checking.

I agree that this TV is excessively priced, especially since this is an old model as pointed out by Shaq. I don't understand Amazon's strategy. If they are sitting on a bunch of old TVs in their inventory, why don't they price them with a true sales price ?? Like in the week before the Super Bowl for example ?? Just a suggestion... I know I would consider buying it then !!

I purchased this TV from Amazon on Oct 31, since then the price has dropped significantly 3 times. Each time I have contacted Amazon customer service, and have been credited with the additional savings based on its current sale price. As of Friday, I have been refunded over $400.00 off my original sales price!The 2 pieces of advice I offer are; First purchase the TV, it it truly outstanding .. Second, contact Amazon for a sales refund the moment you notice a lower price to insure you receive the refund (if you wait a day, the price may increase again.)I hope this post helps, and I hope you enjoy your new Samsung LNT5271F 52" as much as I do!

I've been researching tv's for several months and have decided on the LN46A750. The price at Amazon is unbelievable. I'm going to order one next month. Has anyone purchased the extended warranty? I hear Samsung tv's are excellent quality and wonder if I really need a warranty.
