Hello Guys!

Wanted to briefly share my experience with you with regards to the $125 TVC TRU.com Falcon. I was lucky enough to catch it twice at the $125 price a week apart from each other these past 2 Sundays. Since I had bit at it for the previous week’s in store sale price of $179 with $10 coupon, I figured I would get one and see just how it was delivered and return it to the store for the taxed $192.

To my surprise, the first shipment arrived within days and was boxed in it’s original factory shipper box and then boxed again in a box twice as big with lots of air bags!! Needless to say it was flawless and a keeper for my mint collection. Fast forward a week to the second delivery when I just couldn’t resist the good deal again. Ordered Sunday evening again and this time it said it was due for delivery on Tuesday!

This time I arrived home to see from the street a bright colored TVC Falcon box sitting at my door! NO SHIPPING BOX at all!! They just slapped the shipping label on it and a clear pocket for the receipt and off it went!! I expected at least the original shipper box but nyet!! Needless to say it was in fair condition and made a very easy decision to pick which one was going to be returned. Had not seen any reports about the delivery on either sets of deals and thought I would share my very different experiences!

Frank - I think I would have died if I saw that collectors' item unprotected outside my door i the collectible box. You're a calmer man than me!
