You should just tell Amazon and let fairly charge you for the service they provided. Basically you're shoplifting. Don't be surprised if you see the charge reappear on your credit card. Amazon and such companies have checks in their system to keep monitoring their packages long after you think it's lost. Anytime its scanned anywhere in the world it will be recorded. They do have access to all the courier databases worldwide, and they probably also host and service the same logistics systems used locally.

Secondly, every such report you make, you are flagged on their system. You will be shown higher prices by their algorithms and perhaps higher shipping rates too in the future. You have cost their company money and they have to recoup in somewhere. Additionally, you pose a risk for further loss to them if they ship to you again. So this means costs go up for your account which will always be tied into every credit card you use in the future. Somehow this will balance out; don't believe for a minute that this doesn't happen thousands of times everyday with Amazon shipping globally. Yet Amazon still posts massive profits annually.

Amazon's profits does not come from its shopping, Its comes from the web services . In fact the shopping aspect is generally a loss making enterprise making Amazon like Tesla a quirk for investors wherein the share price was always about potential not yet realized.

Cyah be a Samsung at that price. Daz price to bust down door to get. On their website the Samsung 32 inch is $2399 down from $2699. Probably some cheap brand is 1200.

Ted is correct. I passed on Thursday and it was a samsung 40" - think it was $1995 I saw (made a double take and think thats what the tag said).

But as mentioned not sure if its a smart tv - didnt look at the specs.

Ted_v2 · Postby **Ted_v2** » December 23rd, 2018, 11:42 pm

wasnt a smart,

i was always thinking i needed a smart tv, but turns out i didnt. i ended up buying a 28" TCL from courts yesterday. Horrible service as usual. paid just over 1250.. its to use on my pc as a monitor.

Using a 28-inch 720p TV as a computer monitor?
That's a bad idea. And 7,330,000 Google results can tell you why.

But if it works for you...

nick639v2 · Postby **nick639v2** » December 24th, 2018, 10:01 am

What size TV u watching on? And distance.. men with they 42inch watching from across the room won't know the difference.

I'm at 60 inches for about 10 feet viewing distance.

From 720p to 4k was a huge jump for me..
