Very happy with my experience with them.

"I contacted Robert via email and asked about buying a Sony 75 Z9K. We went back and forth a while deciding things and working out a deal. Got a discount for basically paying cash and the TV showed up pretty quickly in perfect shape. Delivery guy even helped get the huge box in the house. Robert was very quick to respond to emails and I never had to call though that was a option. He also included some extras for buying the set from him so I opted for a free extended warranty.
Like said, quite happy and would recommend him highly if you have the budget for the high end gear he sells and shipping was free.

Value Electronics broke its promise to obtain insurance on my shipment for the full value.

"I received a damaged OLED TV from Value Electronics. The owner promised me that the TV would be insured for its full value. These are his actual words: "Yes, we insure the delivery for the full value. " After the TV set arrived with a bent screen and a cracked frame with the inner components visible through the crack at the bottom, I contacted the owner to start an insurance claim. He was unresponsive to my request to make an insurance claim, so the burden fell on me to pursue the claim with the shipping company. After months of jumping through hoops with the freight carrier, I learned to my dismay that the owner had failed to insure the TV as promised. I contacted the owner and he denied that he promised to insure the shipment for its full value. Then, when I showed the owner written proof of his promise to insure for the full value, he said he did not feel responsible for the damage."

Value Electronics is an excellent seller

"I am on my 4th display from them. Excellent pricing and customer service, and their calibrator does a great job."

Excellent retailer for Audio and Video Equipment

"I've purchased three 4K TVs in the past couple of years at Value Electronics and I've found them to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and honest. There are very few retailers who know as much as they do about the products they sell. They have an experienced ISF certified professional calibrator with professional reference equipment do their in house calibrations and their break-in service lowers the risk of getting a defective TV. Their prices are competitive with most of the big box stores. When you read a negative review about this retailer you need to see if something happened that was out of their control or a review from someone filled with false information because they have an axe to grind. I'm very satisfied with my purchases and I highly recommend them."

"Apparently it's been a while since a review of this retailer. Let me say first of all this was an internet purchase via email and phone.
Initial sales contact was excellent. I paid extra to have to the Samsung plasma run in for 200 hrs. prior to having a calibration specialist adjust the display for the best possible picture.
The dealer did not charge my card until the burn in was complete to be sure there were no issues, then charged it at the start of the calibration. The display I received was excellent. I could not ask for more. It arrived in perfect condition with a stellar picture.
The transaction soured a bit when the shipper did not meet his deadline of delivery to my front door by 5 pm. The shippper (YRC) called me to say they would not make it and prodded me to pick it up so I would not have to wait until the following Monday. Rather than risk having my new display stored at the shipping dock over the weekend I did the 20 mile round trip in commuter traffic and picked it up. I asked if I could inspect it first, and he seemed a little put out but agreed and opened the box, everything was intact and the screen was pristine.
His helper picked up one end of the box and we carried out to my truck and brought it home.
I noted on the docs that the shipper was being paid an incentive to deliver on time.
I called VE the next week to tell them what happened and also requested a receipt I never got.
The one answering agreed, the shipper was paid an incentive to deliver just inside my front door, and on time. Plus, I should have been emailed a receipt. Also she would inquire about my receiving the settings and cal data for the service I paid for.
Weeks went by with no response despite another phone call, 2 emails and one postal mail, until just last week. I received the display on March 13 2015.
I received an email (dated April 26) with the receipt and and cal data attached. And an apology for the delay.
The data was 'interesting' but it would have been more beneficial to send me the actual settings in case the set had to be repaired or otherwise lost the settings due to a problem.
I did in fact go into the menu and pulled all the settings I could. I did not want to risk going into the service menu and have anything reset to a factory default.
I would have been pleased if at least the settings in the users menu had been sent.
All in all, I am satisfied. I think VE is a great place to shop in person for a display and they do indeed know their products well.
I think they are a little out of their league when it comes to internet orders, which I think does not make up the larger part of their business.
My two complaints are poor response to after sale issues, and overcharging on shipping. I can understand 100 bucks to ship a TV but an additional 100 for CA customers (VE is in NY) is a bit much especially when the shipper failed to meet his deadline.

"I spent a week checking prices, and reading posts in various forums. I decided that the best combination of price and security was with ValueElectronics.com. I used the few negative comments in a positive way – namely proving that the company did exist, and that they did send the merchandise. I learned that they have been in business for over 12 years, and that the Better Business Bureau gives it an “A” rating.

I called on a Friday, and Robert thoroughly answered questions and took my order for 2 Pioneer Elite components. I received my order on the following Wednesday – double boxed / with invoice.

I would definitely recommend buying from ValueElectronics.com.

"I suspect the customers posting reviews here on Value Electronics (VE) are skewed toward those who need to vent. My experience went very smoothly. I ordered the Pioneer KRP-500M KURO display panel with the TS-23 stand. Both pieces came intact and the driver from RL Carriers was very helpful with delivery to my home and helping me unpack and inspect the TV. No scratches or cracks and monitor turns on. Let's see how the break-in goes.

Robert Zohn was very helpful throughout the entire process and was more encouraging than pushy. I was very pleased with the experience that I placed an order for the Pio Elite VSX-21TXH receiver through VE. On top of all that, prices are very competitive.

"I ordered a KRP-500m from Robert. Very courteous and pleasure to deal with. We agreed on a price to include TV, warranty and HDMI cable. Invoice showed I was overcharged so I had to e-mail them and Wendy did refund the overcharge. TV arrived within a week but RL carriers(not VE's van) were rude and difficult to deal with. I was told to inspect TV before accepting and delivery person said unless box was damaged, he wouldn't open it. Had to talk to supervisor to let us inspect contents and he did not even assist my wife in opening the box. Reported this to Robert and Wendy who apologized but this was a big hassle. No warranty or HDMI cable so had to call VE again. Told warranty would come in mail and it did a few days later but still no cable. Called VE again and was told HDMI cable would ship that day. 3 days later, still no cable so called AGAIN and Robert said no one had picked up cable and it would be sent promptly. 2 days later, cable arrived by Fedex. This is my experience and you can arrive at your own conclusions."

"I visit a few HDTV forums (AVS and HDTV Junkies) where Robert, the owner of VE, is a member. He recently held a shootout event and broadcast it live over the internet to show off some of the new 2009 TV's as well as the reigning champ the Pioneer Kuro 500M. As a result of that shootout and his seemingly good reputation, I decided to go forward with a purchase.

I purchased the Pioneer KRP-500M for $2398 from Robert and was promised by him that it would possibly ship that day (July 3rd) and if not then the following Monday (July 6th). Monday came and I e-mailed him asking for a tracking number. He replied that he would promise to have it for me by the end of the day and if not by the end of Monday, then definitely by the end of Tuesday (July 7th). I replied saying it was acceptable and looked forward to the tracking information. I followed up with another e-mail asking him if he could refund me the difference for the stand ($100) since I had already purchased a separate one from eBay. His new store price also makes the stand optional. I believe this policy went into effect after I made the request to modify my order.

Since that e-mail, I hadn't heard back from Robert at VE until this morning (7/8/09). I was informed the stand and TV had already shipped. I feel an order modification could have been done before it shipped since the request was made on July 6th but VE says the package was already shipped out of their fulfillment warehouse on July 6th and entered into tracking on the 7th. Even if that is true, VE could have at least offered to take the stand back and issue a refund but no such offer was made. I'm stuck with a $100 stand that I can't use but as long as the TV is great then no big deal I suppose.

I should be receiving it tomorrow July 09. Store policy is that the customer may open the box and inspect the display for defects before signing off. I'll update this post to reflect how everything went tomorrow.


**UPDATE 7/09/09***
TV has been scheduled to be delivered tomorrow 7/10/09. Spoke with Robert over e-mail extensively and he has agreed to cover any and all defects with the TV as long as I let him know right away.

*UPDATE 7/18/09*
Final update - The TV arrived but the shipping company only sent one delivery person. He phoned me and asked me to meet him downstairs (I live on the 2nd floor of my apartment complex). When I got down there, he told me I had to sign for the package and that he would then leave. I reminded him that my service covered indoor delivery but he claimed it did not. I convinced him to help me carry it up to my apartment. He was a nice guy so he waited around while I checked the TV for defects and then I signed off. I immediately contacted Robert at VE about this and asked for a partial refund of the shipping cost since I had to carry the TV up. Initially I requested a 50% refund ($100) but Robert said the indoor delivery portion was only $50 and he would cover that. I agreed and he promptly refunded the amount. Overall I am pleased with the TV and Robert was very prompt with communication. I wish things had gone a bit smoother but overall the service was okay.

Will I be a repeat customer at VE? Probably not.

"Pre-Ordered a Pioneer Elite BDP-23FD in early May. I contacted VE and they told me it was in stock and would ship on May 22. After repeated emails I requested a cancelation to my order on May 28th.
They shipped the player on may 29th but did not include a receipt. I requested one but so far Value Electronics has ignored me.

I would not recommend purchasing from them as their customer service is totally lacking.

"I purchased a Pioneer KRP-500M television from Robert at Value Electronics. Because of a forum deal I was supposed to get a blu-ray disc, Bottle Rocket, as a bonus. The disc was supposed to be shipped with the TV. When the TV arrived there was no disc and no evidence of it having been removed at some point while in transit. I contacted Value Electronics after waiting a few days to see if the disc had been shipped seperately. I was assured that it would be shipped. A week or two later I contacted them again, this time talking to Robert. He said that he thought the disc was shipped with the TV. I assured him it was not, and he assured me he would get it out to me. It is now May 5th and I still have no disc. I find it extremely odd that they would lose a repeat customer who purchased a 2k TV over an, at most, $25 disc (they were selling them for $9 each)."

"I discovered this retailer online but they are also a brick-and-mortor mom-and-pop business. I drove the 3 hours to see their showroom. I ended up buying from them over the phone on 1/19, and I was lucky enough to have the set delivered on 1/21. All my questions were answered by the owners and they were a pleasure to do business with. Delievered was done by two technicians that did a great job carring the TV up two flights of stairs and they set it up for me. I was very impressed with the whole process and look forward to doing business with them again in the future."

"I was a bit unsure about ordering an expensive plasma TV from an online retailer, but past experiences with ValueElectronics for smaller purchases and their online reputation made me bite the bullet and give it a shot. I could not be happier. Robert, the owner, answered all of my questions, put my fears to rest and gave me a terrific price. Delivery was quicker than anticipated and the TV was hand delivered in perfect condition. I highly recommend this company. "
