Too good to be true.... but "YES" it's true.  
 
I was looking to buy a new TV Samsung LN52A860 since February, 2009. The first search on the Internet brought a list of companies which sale this model.  
One of the companies was “EastCostTV” and its price was one of the best on the market. I’ve checked the company’s web site and was not impressed with it, since the design of the web page was very poor and “payment upon delivery” sounded strange and suspicious. So I’ve closed the web page and continued my search, ignoring “EastCostTV”. I found the other seller - “6Avenue”, its web page looked good, business seemed to be well established , the price, though, was higher than “EastCostTV” suggested. Anyway, I decided to place the order with “6Avenue”. After 30 days my order was canceled, because , according to the “6Avenue”, “Item was not available due to Samsung discontinuation of the model LN52A860 production.”  
I called Samsung, and they explained that the received info was incorrect and the item still could be bought in Sears, BestBuy, Amazon. Prices were tooooo high., Even “Abt” price was high. So one of my friends suggested to go with LN52A850. It’s exactly the same as LN52A860, but the only difference is that the trim is blue versus red like in LN52A860.  
 
I searched for LN52A850 and got back to “EastCostTV” and again with the best price on the market.  
So, this time I decided to close my eyes on the web design and called to the company directly. Jimmy , the person with whom I had the conversation, was very polite and patient. Unfortunately, all LN52A860 models were sold, I ordered LN5A2850 with the “full payment upon delivery”, still being very suspicious of this service, but Jimmy said, “You are not loosing anything, you just place an order, in 7-10 days delivery company will call you and schedule the day and the time for the delivery.” He also explained that the delivery company will deliver , unpack and turn ON TV for my expectation. Jimmy also told that if it happened that something was wrong, or I didn’t like something in particular, I just should return this TV back to people who brought the set. “To Good to be true” was ringing in my head.  
I said “OK”, let’s try it on 03/26/2009. After 8 days I got called from the delivery company, and they scheduled the delivery and the time. The day wasn’t convenient for me, and the delivery company without any problems rescheduled it for my convenience.  
 
On the scheduled day and time, 2 people brought this TV and placed in the area designated by me, unpacked, plugged in, asked me to check it, to test it, to make sure I was 100% satisfied.  
Only after my confirmation of the complete satisfaction, I was asked to pay. I’ve used the credit card, which was swiped via wireless credit card device. Receipt was printed, I signed out and they left.  
I connected cable box to TV and saw some “snow flex”. Wow! No good! Called to EastCostTV again. They told me to use HDMI cable to connect TV and cable box. Miracle happened…..  
Since then, all my family loves and enjoys this TV.  
I started telling my friends and neighbors about EastCostTV company with price and the “payment upon delivery” policy. Nobody believed it was true and that such service was provided by the domestic American company. Next time I will go back to EastCostTV.  
 
1 month later, I got a courtesy call from EastCostTV. Jimmy was asking about the TV and if I was happy with it.  
 
And after that call I decided to let other people to know: “Yes, this is the true company, true price and true payment upon delivery with the great service!”  
 
Good job “EastCostTV”
