It's a matter of logistics. I have this big heavy TV in a huge armoire and have no help moving either. I'd hav to come up with a suitable table on which to place it and possibly assemble that. I'm old and don't have the energy to cope with all this. Once in a great while, it would be handy to have a man around here.😜

You might want to check local furniture/electronics stores. Many will deliver and install your new HDTV and then haul away the old one. Smaller stores/chains are generally more accomodating than the bigger chains. You'll pay a bit more than you would by getting a set at a Walmart or other big chain store, but the extra service might make it worthwhile to you.

Kachina, I don't know if this service is available in your area but Amazon now offers all types of assembly and installation services for the products they offer.

It may be worth taking at look to see if what you are looking for is in your area.  I know I would appreciate it and hopefully since it's Amazon they would stand behind the folks they are contracting with.

It isn't cheap, but for me it was worth it. I too live alone, upstairs and have some mobility issues. I carried my 26" LCD set upstairs but when it died due to a power surge I could not carry/set up the 32" replacement.

I bought the new set at Best Buy and for a fee (it was $100 then might be more now) they brought the new set, set it up, hooked it up to my cable and DVD player, made sure it was programmed, showed me how it worked, and hauled away my old set and all the packing from the new set - with a smile. It was well worth the cost to me.

We did the same thing for my mother with Best Buy. Money well spent. They took away an ancient RCA cabinet TV!
