Oh greaser, can I ask how you put together your 7.1, was it a pre-made kit or did you pick the reciever and speakers seperate?

trust me. i was totally freaking out that whole week hoping i receive the tv in one safe and working piece. it's well packaged by samsung. lots of air bags and it was delivered by ups which is a rarity since most online stores use freight for large televisions. there's nothing wrong with it being shipped by freight either. it's just harder to track since freight companies dont have tracking info.

it's a HTIB (home theatre in a box) from onkyo. i also ordered that online, but like a year ago. i had originally ordered a 6.1 system, and they shipped this one instead. im definitely not complaining. i was charged for the cost of a 6.1 system. lol

free shipping. no tax.
the tv doesnt weigh much. i can pick it up by myself. i think it weighs about 50-60 lbs. my old tv was a monster though. it was about 150-180 lbs.
