Here is my experience with PCVideoOnline.com buying the Panasonic 42PWD7UY Plasma Flat Screen
Day 1
Placed order online. Received email confirmation stating total price of $1716 and that "due to security reasons and high fraud incidents" I need to call in for my confirmation number.
Called the number, gave them my order number and asked for my confirmation number, but instead the guy tries to sell me a wall mount for $99. I say no and he says call back later for a confirmation number
Called later and the guy does not give me confirmation number still because he says it doesn't get delivered by UPS, but by a freight company instead. I ask when will it be delivered and he says call back in a couple days.
Day 3
Call for delivery schedule, he says "It's already shipped buddy." I ask him when, he says it should go out Monday or Tuesday.
Day 6
Call for order status, they give me a tracking number and the number of an AdmiralUSA.com to find out order status.
Call Admiral.com and they state that one of their local agents has the tv and I need to call them to schedule a delivery.
Call this "local agent" which turns out to be some company called Fast Fleet with a (908) area code. They say they deliver M-F so I schedule delivery for 4/13/05
Day 8
Took the day off as Fast Fleet gave the cable company response of "between 12-5". Got to be around 4:30 and they still hadn't come so I was getting worried, I called them and they said he was stuck in traffic. Finally, around 5:30, the TV arrived.
Conclusion - I must admit that I saw all the reviews on this website AFTER I placed my order so needless to say I was worried that I had made a mistake. The company definitely does not give you the warm and fuzzies I typically like in my online retailers, but to their credit they always answered the phone (though I had to wait upwards of 10 minutes on hold) and in the end I got the product exactly 6 business days after I ordered. I mounted my TV last night and popped in The Incredibles and the picture is AWESOME. As for PCVideoOnline, well, I've described my experience so YOU decide what to do.
