Free Shipping Can Save Hundreds on HDTV Purchase

HDTV shipping costs typically run $100-$300 and should not be overlooked. Many retailers don't show shipping costs until part way through the checkout process. At that point it's easy to hit the Place Order button without thoughtful consideration of overall cost including tax and shipping.

Amazon currently offers free shipping via White Glove Delivery service on their best selling HDTVs. As an Authorized Dealer with low prices, huge selection, free shipping, and great customer service, Amazon is an attractive option for the HDTV buyer.
