Amazon held up selling the 6022 recently due to complaints about shipping damage. It's for sale again. Has this damage problem been addressed with the 6024 and is it OK to order one and expect good packaging? Thanks.

I didn't have any problem with mine but maybe they rushed a bunch of defective ones out for Christmas.Amazon has a really handy return policy, though, if you have a printer. Keep the Amazon box the thing came in and if there's a problem with it you can print out a "postage due" sheet, tape it to the box and ship it right back at no cost. I did this once when I accidentally ordered 2 of something I only wanted 1 of and thought that was a nice way to handle returns.

I just got mine and retail packaging is the same packaging that you would get if you bought it off the shelf. It was not opened in any way. Sometimes you'll see the term bulk packaging. That means it was taken out of the original box and it's shipped loose, usually in a little clear plastic bag. It may or may not be used. My guess is that someone bought it, tried it and returned it.

Purchased mine on January 25th and I'm still waiting in the backorder queue, if that gives you any indication. I'll let you know when mine shows up, as it might give you an idea about yours. Regardless, I think waiting 4 weeks or so for Amazon to restock is well worth paying the MSRP instead of the 20% to 40% markup other online retailers are charging, including some of Amazon's own 3rd party sellers. I don't fault them for charging it though. If consumers are willing to pay the inflated prices then there's no reason a business shouldn't capitalize on it. I'm just saying I won't. waiting 30 days or so for delivery is worth $200 or more in my pocket. End of rant. ;o)

May be it had some kind of defect or a bump during shipping. No problem at with mine.

I have no idea what your outcome will be, but my Meini Percussion arrived just fine. It was well packed and protected and there was no damage to the box. I have had several other items (not from Amazon) that were badly damaged in transit but, fortunately, nothing from Amazon has ever been damaged, even delicate crystal. I hope this helps.

I am very happy with mine. Do these other sellers guarantee a free return or exchange? I would stay with Amazon.

I received my original order and it was damaged inside the box even though it was sealed and the box wasn't damaged. The top lid had 3 deep scratches in it that were small but unacceptable to keep and Amazon sent me a new one next day that was perfect. Maybe others are damaged? My replacement is fine though.

I don't know if the packing issues have been resolved. I was concerned about that myself and considered purchasing it from someone other than Amazon for that reason, but the few other places that carry it were out at the time. It is a very heavy item and so this creates shipping challenges. I just decided to take my chances and mine arrived undamaged. Maybe you could call Amazon. I considered that myself but never did.

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 took the plunge and just recently bought a 32 Sony XBR9 from Amazon "Warehouse Deals" where the used item's comment included "small cosmetic damage on screen". Although the packaging materials were falling apart, the set was in excellent condition with no apparent damage to it--cosmetic or otherwise. I was happy as a bug with the deal I got! Remember though, "your mileage will vary".

Hi K.C., Thank you for purchasing and glad to see you were early in the queue. Amazon was out, we shipped them more, they ran out again (you got yours shipped from that batch). Today (11-9) we shipped Amazon a truckload; expect the UL80VT-A1 to be shipping from Amazon again by the end of this week. EDIT: I think Friday of this week is realistic for them to start shipping, but it could be early next week because this is a very busy time for them receiving inventory into their warehouses.

No. Please see my previous review. In short, I received a bad unit that had obviously been repackaged, probably sent back by another user with the same problem. If you receive a unit with problems like the one I received it isn't going to play well with anything.
