i am looking to buy a couple new TV's. Do any of you have any good recommendations for online sites? Would like free shipping and possibly no sales tax.
Cheapest I have found is a website Buy Squad. Went to BBB to see there reviews and they got a F from them.

Place called Amazon. FWIW I wouldn't order a TV that has to ship small parcels.

Could try B&H Photo

I've been sort of wondering the same thing. I have a lot of Amazon points to redeem but awfully hesitant to buy a 65 inch TV from Amazon and get that shipped.
Think I'd rather drive my happy arse over to BestBuy and physically take it from a store.

Anyone had good experiences with buying large TVs from Amazon?

Bought several from Amazon and never had an issue. Not in the least bit worried that they wouldn't handle a problem quickly.

I bought a 55" from buy.com (rakuten.com) and it was shipped alone on a pallet wrapped up standing upright. I would have complete faith in Amazon and Newegg also. Find the TV you want at the best price you can find, then ask about the seller.

I bought via Amazon a few years back and it was a 65" TV. They contract out the delivery to delivery companies and the guys who delivered it were very professional and the box was hardly scratched.

Plus, if it is damaged, Amazon will take care of replacing it pretty seamlessly.

ETA: I should mention I bought it via Amazon Prime, so it was sold by Amazon.com, not some random.
