Hi anabolic bro, thanks for sharing your experience. You were very brave to take such high risk in buying such a huge item from the US.
Would like to learn from you more:
1. Shipment from Amazon to Borderlinx/CGW usually no problem? 100% safe?
2. So before shipment reach Borderlinx/CGW from Amazon, must inform Customer Service (Borderlinx/CGW) that shipment is a TV and is extremely fragile? I heard sometimes they repack at their (Borderlinx/CGW) warehouse?
3. Is the courier company (like DHL, FedEx, UPS etc.) involved when damage claims are initiated?
4. May I know the total actual shipping cost (plus GST + everything) for your LG 60PV450 60" plasma that you ordered from Amazon (about 110 pounds = 50kg?)? You mentioned that the shipping calculator puts shipping as USD$280 (before discount).
5. During your purchase of the item, you have no intention to wall mount? Cos' you did not mention about buying the wall mount.
6. So your next purchase item (from Amazon) if the buying bug hits again should be 85 - 100 inch? Haha!
Thanks!
