Got my new LCD delivered on Thurs. I was busy all weekend so I decided to mount it on Sunday. Ran all the wires and mounted the wall brackets. Plugged it up, hit the power button and… FREAKED OUT! ![http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/johnnylude/House%20Pics/DSCN6931.jpg](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/johnnylude/House%20Pics/DSCN6931.jpg) ---

> [@dreid](#): > > what kind of shape was the box in??? Box was fine, I inspected it before accepting delivery. I would have refused if there was significant damage to the box. I helped the UPS guy take the TV off the truck. I should have known something was wrong because it was laying flat. Im sure they had other packages stacked on top of it earlier in the day (arrived at 7pm). I think that’s how it got damaged. I didn’t really think anything of it. I even asked the UPS if he would stay and wait while i took the TV out to make sure it wasn’t damaged. He said, " we aren’t obligated to do that, and if there is a problem you can file a damage claim" The TV wasn’t packed that well. It just had hard styrafoam (spelling) along the bottom and top edges and corners. There was nothing to protect the actual center of the box and screen except a thin plastic sleeve around the LCD. ---

After seeing some of the servers and network equipment I receive in my office that looks like it was delivered by Ace Ventura, I am really hesitant to have anything shipped anymore. Fuck, even my Netflix envelope from last week looked like it was delivered by a St. Bernard ---

The same model would have cost me about $600 more at Best Buy or Circuit City. I’ve been pretty fortunate with large electronics, never had a problem until this one. ---

He said, " we aren’t obligated to do that, and if there is a problem you can file a damage claim" Never help the UPS get stuff off the truck. They are paid (well) to bring the item to your house and load it in. If HE damages the product bringing it in, its their problem. When I worked there we were instructed to decline help so we could not be liable for that. If you saw your TV was laying flat, that is an instant problem. Normally they have a larger open area in the back of the truck to stand up big items (like TV’s). If it was me, it probably fell in the truck, took up your offer to help to get some liability off my back, and GTFO before you turned it on. ---
