Is it safe to buy TV's online ?

How do they usually ship TV's in the mail ? I just found an LG to replace my Dynex and it's really cheap on Amazon right now, but do they use UPS or something or the sort to ship ? Because I really can't trust that, I've been inside a UPS warehouse with "fragile" marked boxes being chucked around.

I purchased my TV from Amazon, and I would definately do it again.

I purchase 90% of electronics online, I have had no problems with anything and no Dead on Arrivals. Just use REAL websites for buying and selling: New Egg, Amazon and Tiger Direct are some examples

Ordered a 42" led online and it came fine. They tend to use styrofoam inserts to secure the contents so they don't wiggle. The whole tv is covered in anti static plastic and the screen in a special plastic wrap to prevent scratches. It's very safe to order online, as long as it's from a trusted/mainstream site. Always study the return policies and warranties though.

Amazon is a safe place to order from. Just make sure you actually order it from Amazon (if not, study the return policy closely).psychobrew

I believe that the TV has to be 40inches or above to recieve the white glove service. Anything below that gets shipped UPS.

Pretty much everything i buy is done via the internet, clothes, electronics and everything else inbetween comes from the web and ive yet to experience any problems with any of them.

The cash savings alone make it a no brainer for me, nearly a grand saving over the same tv instore is no joke.
