Toshiba 57H94 57-Inch HD-Integrated Projection TV
Shipping made purchase unpleasant
I received this TV two days early; however, when it was delivered only one man was sent to deliver (this is not a one man job by any stretch of the imagination).  The driver's supervisor was quick to pass the buck saying Amazon did not notify him this was a two person delivery.  The driver just wanted to put the TV in my garage.  After speaking a second time with his supervisor the driver was told to attempt to place the TV by himself.  I would not allow this and feeling sorry for the delivery guy offered my assistance.  The driver flew into a flurry of explicatives.  I asked him to leave the TV on his truck and return another day with the proper personel.  He insisted that this TV had to get off of his truck.  At my front door, I was able to lift my side of the TV; however, the driver repeatedly dropped his side complaining \\"his hands were slippery\\".  After the TV was in my foyer, I inspected it and the speakers were ripped along the bottom due to the driver dropping it and dragging it along the steps.  I told him I would go no further with his assistance and called his supervisor and advised him I would not sign for the television until he sent another crew to deliver it properly. His supervisor advised me I had to sign it.  I told him I would not, and if he wanted he could put the TV back on his truck; however, I would not be assisting.  He had his driver take the paperwork and sit in his truck for an hour.  Finally a rep from the delivery company called and apologized and said I could leave the TV where it was and they would have another crew come out the following day.  I signed the paperwork stating the damage which had been done and noted that the comapny said they would have someone come out and place the TV the next day.  They came out the next day and placed the TV with no problem.  I emailed Amazon about the damage to the speakers.  They said they would respond within 24 hours.  It has now been 72 hours and no response.  It would have been well worth a couple extra hundred dollars to not go through this experience.  The TV works great except for the visual flaws from the delivery damage.  My wife is also left with a bad taste in her mouth as this was a father's day/birthday present.  Buyer beware
