Current Events > Anyone bought a big TV from amazon before?

(+) Yeah! (+)

And can I expect them to arrive safely with no issues? Want a 65 inch, but dont have a car where I can fit one and no friend with a truck.

I ordered a 50 inch a few years ago with no problems

Looks like the biggest I've ordered is a 49inch from Amazon back in 2018. No issues back then. But I also had either a 55 or 65 inch delivered either from Target or Best Buy. I remember the delivery person calling me because she didn't want to just leave it at the front door.

You can pay an extra fee (like 30ish) to have them bring it inside and put it down in the room of your choosing

We did that when we bought one for my mom since we had no way to bring it from our house to hers

No, due to paranoia and impatience I usually brought my TVs and delivered them home myself. Which was whatever I could fit into my car which was 40 max. So Ive never owned a tv larger then that.

Although Im eyeing a 65 now.

Never. I don't need the hassle of trying to return a giant TV when it arrives damaged

Be sure to check the total weight of the television.

Some can be up to 90 lbs.

If you're lifting it alone, that might be a struggle.

I've ordered 55" tvs from amazon on 2 occasions and they were both delivered in specialty vehicles with lifts on the back and the delivery guy wheeled them right into my house for me on a hand truck.

Yeah I got a 65 inch from them a couple years ago. Forgot the details but whoever delivered it arranged for it to be dropped off while I was at home. It didn't cost extra.

going to need a uhaul for that big of a TV. truck couldn't handle it :(.

brings back memories of buying a TV last year with my uncle. he barely could fit it inside the SUV (fucker reached all the way to the front of the drivers seat) 55 inch TV.

on topic, you'll be fine. people order TV's all the time online (would advise to pay the extra for insurance coverage if things go wrong). isn't a bad idea to pay extra to have them bring it to the house provided you'll be home on that day.

Thats my biggest fear

So I ended up going to Best Buy and apparently they had free shipping since I live so close to the store (like 6 mins away) so I ended up buying the tv there. Thing is that the employee upsold me so I got a more expensive tv than I wanted, but .....Im excited. Ive had the same tv for 7 years so jumping from a basic 4k to an oled is quite an upgrade for me.

yeah, the one I ordered for my parents early this year. It arrived fine, but I misread the listing and it didn't have one of those coaxial ports for cable/antenna TV, so had to do a return.

the return was super easy, I just did the regular amazon return process and someone picked it up from my porch the next day. I don't think it cost money for that return, but idk if that depends on individual sellers, prime status, etc (in my case, I had prime and the seller was amazon. I have had amazon returns where I paid return shipping, but those were smaller items)

Two 39" and two 55", no issues with any

Wait what? You don't need a uhaul for a 65 inch tv. I literally just bought one and it fit in my VW. Even if it couldn't fit you can always strap it to the top of your car
