Appreciate the offer though!
FYI, stay away from Abe's of Maine. They are some sort of high pressure scam operation now. I ordered the exact TV you are trying to order from them, and ship to the Montana Outlet for pickup.

I get a call a few days later to "check on my order", and it was a non stop high pressure upsell.

"Uh we can't ship to Montana for free, pay $500 for shipping. But we throw in a 5 year warranty, plus upgraded stand."

So I said sure, since it was still cheaper, and no sooner did I give permission to charge they run my card. However, they had no firm ship date, and when I called the guy back, he was really sketchy and said it would go out tomorrow, and pushed me off the phone.

That got me to thinking and I googled Abe's name. Looks like this is a common scam they run, the bait and upsell. Lots and lots of issues for people in US at that place. So I had enough called back and cancelled my order (that did not ship).

They then told me there is a 5% cancel order fee. Whatever, just canceled since I knew where this was headed.

So stay as far far away from those con artists as possible
