The UPS delivery man did not want to deliver the TV. My wife saw him check the box and then left... On the third day of this horrible treatment, as the truck was about to leave, my tiny wife physically blocked the truck and demanded a TV. There was a horrible hole in the delivery box and the courier wasโ€ฆ
