CommentI ordered the Sharp LC32D64U through Sixth Av Electronics and was extremely impressed. Transaction went very smoothly and item came sooner than expected and in perfect working condtion. When I contacted customer service they were very nice and informative. I was hesitant at first to order through an online store for such an expensive and large item but I ended up saving a few hundred dollars over buying this hdtv locally so in the end it was well worth it.

CommentOrdered a Sharp Aquos LC32D64U 1080p LCD TV on 6/16. Checked with customer service on 6/17 and was told it'd ship on 6/18. Checked online order status again next morning and found it was already shipped. Received in the morning on 6/19. So far, the service has been excellent.

The outer box of the TV had a hole covered by DHL ducktapes (could be an old box from a different RMA?) but the Sharp box inside was pristine and the TV was as new as possible. Hooked it to the Time Warner cable and the wow began ...

The TV was perfect, so didn't deal with returns, warranty etc, I'll update this review if there is a need to contact Customer Service again.

CommentVery happy with my purchase. Bought a Mitsubishi HC3000 DLP projector from them. Shipping was quick, descriptions were accurate, and they have a number of online coupons which were able to take $150 off the cost for this purchase. I'm well pleased!

CommentI ordered a tv from 6th avenue by way of Amazon. The order said estimated shipping May 5-6. On May 13, I received e-mail from Amazon saying "my order had been cancelled, sorry for the inconvenience". I then called Amazon, who looked up my order and said that 6th avenue was unable to fulfil my order and that 6th avenue was supposed to have sent an e-mail to that effect. I was pretty disappointed by the poor service and ordered through another vendor.

CommentOrdered from the site, didn't notice that they changed the price of the product from the product page to the cart. Called in to obtain a fix talked with a customer service rep (who said he was a supervisor) stated that the new price was correct and I must be seeing it wrong. He changed the price of the product then told me to reload the page. This is just bad business if you advertised a price (that is reasonable) then honor it, we are talking about a $20 difference here. But no, chose to be an short and unhelpful. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS, GOOD PRICES MAYBE BUT THERE ARE MANY OTEHR MERCHANTS WITH BETTER SERVICE, SEE B&H.

CommentI ordered a 32" Toshiba LCD HDTV, model 32HL67. 6ave's prices were way below what the local stores were selling the unit for, so I read some reviews of the store and placed an order after reading positive things. I placed an order on the 27th of December and the item shipped on Jan. 4, 08. While the waiting time for the item was long, they double boxed the unit and ensured that everything was secure. The TV arrived unharmed and in pristine condition. I emailed customer service to ask them why the delay between ordering and shipping and they emailed me two weeks after the item was delivered. This was the only downside to my experience with 6ave. I would do business with them again though.

CommentIt's really good experience to purchase SONY XBR5-52" LCDTV here. Friendly and decent customer service, on-time delivery and attractive low price. It's 100% reliable web-site. I absolutely will buy any needed electric staff through 6th Ave again.

CommentThey have good prices and good warranties for some electronics. I purchased a Panasonic PV-GS500 + warranty and the order went somewhat smooth. I placed it on 3/7, then I received an e-mail message on 3/8 asking me to verify my credit card. Are they stupid?? Why process credit cards on their web site if one has to fax and authorize the charge?
I just place another order yesterday for the same camera and I received an e-mail today that my order has been cancelled because the address couldn't be confirmed. When I told the rep that I already faxed authorization and everything, he said there was no record of that!
This company sucks. They make you go through hoops and loops and then cancel your order.
Stupid. Plain stupid!

CommentI have made several high end purchases from 6th Ave Electronics through David at 877.684.2831 x 8474. The purchases, so far, include Klipsch, Harmony and Pioneer.
I have always been skeptical about making purchases of this type over the phone, but David was exceptional. He is completely honest, trustworthy and knowledgeable of his industry.
I received excellent customer service without any worries, which was extremely important to me. He has provided me with the best possible sell prices for several components and I will be purchasing all of my future components from him.
The delivery of the components was amazing and the delivery workers were very polite. I was completely surprised and in awe that this was possible after reading all of the horror stories of other online purchases and returns with other companies.
I have highly recommended him to my friends, family and co-workers. I was extremely impressed and you will not be disappointed.

CommentI just received a hf10 from 6ave today-and they really do have great customer service. I intially ordered an HF100 from them on the 16th-the day they offered the $175 off coupon. The site had said "in stock" when I ordered it. I waited til the next day for a tracking number but there was none. I called them to find out, and they tell me they made a mistake and "oversold them" and I'd have to wait a week. I got pissed and asked them if they'd give me a better deal on the hf10 since it was in stock and I'm going on vacation next week and couldn't wait for the hf100. They came through very well. I'm impressed with their willingness to please the customer. They even shipped it in one day!

CommentFrom 6ave website:
Yes, our retail stores honor online specials during the specified promotional period unless otherwise noted. Please print the page and bring it to the store with you.

I sent them a link to another vendor for my Canon HV30.

Price match was processed

Thanks

CommentWhen I placed this order for a Canon HF100 camcorder, their web site showed it was in stock. The next day when I checked their web site again, it showed "pre-order". I emailed them and asked when my order could be shipped because I needed it for a trip coming soon. They immediately canceled my order with the excuse that my shipping address was not PayPal confirmed. The point is, if they do not accept unconfirmed PayPal address, why don't they configure their PayPal account to reject unconfirmed shipping address automatically? It's a waste of customers' time to have to place another order again. In my case, time is of essence. I will never buy from this seller again.

CommentI could not be happier. Used their "Price Alert" service on their website. They contacted me quickly and accepted my price. Delivery was as promised. I would recommend 6th Avenue Electronics and Sony TV's without any qualms.

CommentGreat prices and great products. The tv I ordered came in perfect condition. The only thing that I didn't like with 6ave is the horrible shipping times. When I ordered my tv it said 1-3 days to ship. After a day it changed to 7-10. Instead of keeping the first shipping times, it took them 7 days to ship and 2 more days to get to my house.

CommentI bought a camcorder (HV30) from 6ave.com and was very happy with the experience. I had already purchased one online somewhere else, a few hours earlier, when I found that they were running a great special. I decided to give them a try and it turned out to save me $120!! They responded to a question very quickly and provided detailed shipping and tracking information. The camera actually arrived a day early. I just wish they sold some of the extra stuff I now need to buy.

CommentI was a little wary about 6th Avenue because of previous poor reviews by others but decided to take a chance anyway. I ordered An Onkyo Home theatre system which at $368 inc shipping was $50 less than any competitor. The order date was 1st March 2008, I received an email on Mon 3rd March to say it was shipped and sure enough the tracking number provided showed up on DHL's website. Anyway the system arrived mid morning today on 5th March, which was way quicker than the estimated 5 days for ground shipping. Everything is great, brand new unopened system, so all I can say is 10 out of 10 for a hastle free speedy delivery on this occassion. Well Done Guys at 6th Ave.

CommentI got free ground shipping and received my product (Canon HV20) 5 days from the day I ordered it. I love the camera and I think I got it at really good price with an honest transaction.

I am very happy with my purchase and wouldn't think twice before ordering again from 6th Avenue...

Comment 100% completely satisfied!!!! The most customer friendly and knowledgeable online retailer I've ever dealt with. Roberto, my customer service rep, was instrumental in guiding me through this purchase. He was very informed with all products and took both the time and patience to discuss my purchase options in depth. I'm completely serious...., this service was better than the traditional "brick and mortar" retailers. If you want a curteaous online shopping trip, don't forget to ask for Roberto.
Being a lifetime procrastinator, I waited until the last minute to pull the trigger on the purchase of a Pioneer big screen, Yamaha receiver, KEF 5002 speaker system and a host of other assosiated A/V equipment. I required that all items arrive in 2 days, leaving me enough time to install and tweak the new A/V system for the Superbowl. I'm happy to report that all items were received in perfect condition in the promised 2 day time period. All items came via DHL, except big screen that came via another carrier with the promised white glove service. I'm now enjoying my new A/V system.
My purchase from 6th Ave was absolutely the best online shopping experience ever.
Thanks Roberto and 6th Ave..., you've gained a customer for life.

CommentI have made several purchases from this company in the past couple of years. I always ask for David. The customer service is second to none. I never have to wonder if I am getting the best deal when I shop 6th Ave. No need to shop around.
Just call David @ 6th Ave and you will be taken care of.

CommentI ordered the Yamaha RX-V3800 thru 6ave. I had doubts about the price and after reading some of the reviews on here, I was not completely sure. I was concerned that it had the full warranty, the sales person verified it does as well as the Yamaha site endorses them as an authorized Yamaha dealer. After some researching, I finally made the big purchase and had it sent form the East coast(online order date 12/31/07)to the West coast(delivery 1/10/08). The package arrived yesterday via DHL. The driver called my number and I asked him to drop it off on the side of the house...no signature req'd : ) The unit was double boxed with popcorn Styrofoam and the unit was damage-free!!!! I was pleasantly surprised!!! I will order again from this company.
