Well, how long are willing to wait before you buy. Just ordered mine recently, so it should be here next week and i can tell you how it goes. But let me tell you i save sooo much money by coming to amazon. no tax and free shipping. you cant beat that. Plus amazon has a 30 day guarantee, if something happens then you get a new one.

I think you will be fine. From what I understand from my reading some items if need replacing can't be shipped outside the U.S. but they say you can get a refund. Hope this is helpfull

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.

Thanks for posting this thread, Atticus. I recently went through the same scenario with customer service on this very item. I just bought an industrial strength paper shredder (which was huge!) and it was covered under Prime. So your point is very valid in spite of what the other posters are saying. Mike L: I just ordered these speakers in spite of the extra shipping and free shipping was not offered even at the standard selection. Standard: $23.65, 2 day $44.82, 1-day $83.65. I agree Prime is usually awesome, but don't quite understand what makes one item 3.99 for overnight ship and another $83.65. Jeeeeeeeeeez. (btw, industrial paper shredder was larger dimension box and heavier than this item.) Thanks for posting this thread, Atticus.

Check out other sources. I found one place for about $25, but it may have shipping costs added. Play detective before buying--I do.

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.

Dear Denise, Thank you for your feedback. Sorry to make you inconvenient. As the congested post shipment, the shipping maybe cost a little more. As the standard shipping, this time still under it, pls do not worry too much. Meanwhile, I will contact the post office, try to confirm and notice them to arrange it quickly.OK? If still any doubts, pls feel free to tell me and give me more your comments, that will be highly appreciated. Thank you very much. Kris

yes I combine shipping. I will see how to do that as I have never done that for Amazon. Maybe I could send you an invoice or refund you the shipping charges.

As I'm simply not in a position to guarantee you the quality of the shipping, personally I wouldn't take a risk. Bar is truly amazing; it didn't arrive however in well secured box. My bar came with no damages nor any scratches

I noticed the same thing - I bought the item anyway, and was charged sales tax, although I don't think I should have been if Genexus/Chan is in NV, and I'm in CA (and I ordered and received my item before 9/15/2012, when the CA law requiring tax to be collected becomes effective). So I suppose I really paid for my "free" shipping in tax. Amazon has not been helpful. I will buy nothing else from Genexus - too many odd things going on here. I'm also done with buying anything that does not come directly from Amazon - I've had some other unsettling experiences when using the Amazon storefronts. Time to start supporting my local stores again, even if it costs a bit more. At least I'll have the peace of mind of knowing where the stuff is coming from, and being able to see its condition and quality before I buy it, and I won't have to deal with Amazon customer "service".

I got mine at iRiver for $200 US. Shipping is about $11. That's a good deal.

Correct - that's what the "Add-on Item" program is all about. Otherwise it wouldn't be cost-effective to ship it.

I believe if it was ordered thru a authorized reseller you should be fine. Fine not you could always call them and explain to them what happened. Hope that helps

Thank you for the question. I'm sorry, our shop has managed all of exhibition and price adjustment by the system program. Therefore, when investigating a mailing cost, I want you to once place an order, and want you to cancel immediately. A pocketbook burden is not placed on you in case of this method. I am sorry to have made you impose time and effort. Unless a digital camera is Expedited shipping, it cannot be sent. Studio circus Akira Katori
