Ableman TV & Electronics Service     Warehouse Direct Sales

     Every Day the New TVs come into the Distribution Warehouse by the truckload. There they sit for a time before being loaded onto another truck for delivery to the retail outlets. While they are in the Distribution Warehouse, the price is low. Once they go out to a retailers showroom, the price gets high. Through us, you can buy it at the Warehouse low price. Through the other guys, you can buy it at the Showroom high price.  That is what this page is all about.

     Below you will find some examples of the difference between buying through us directly out of the warehouse compared to buying from them off of the showroom floor. The items listed below are currently in the warehouse and available for you to purchase. They do however move fast (the other guys love the high price version and snatch them up quickly). While I do my best to keep up with the ebb and flow, what I list below that is available today could be out of stock tomorrow. Such is the nature of the business, often times the opportunity to save a bundle of money comes in a very small window.

    We offer a huge line from: Toshiba, JVC, Samsung, Sharp, and LG. I am not able to list every model that is available from these manufacturers on this page. Truthfully, I pick and choose the ones that I find  have the best price comparison locally. I will be glad to give a price comparison on any model from these 5 manufacturers that you might be curious about but do not see listed below. Simply send an email to Thom@ablemantv.com and I will get back to you with our price and availability. Sorry, we do not sell Sony, Mitsubishi, Hitachi or Panasonic (unfortunately) but I will be glad to price quote comparable models from Toshiba, JVC, Samsung, Sharp and LG if you request. We do not carry any no-name brand of television, the market is swamped with junk LCD manufacturers and we purposely choose not to associate ourselves with them. Our main focus is on large televisions, the industry mark-up on small sets (under 32") is generally too small for us to provide any substantial savings. I will be glad to quote however, should you request.

    Everything that we offer is first quality, A-stock merchandise. These are the exact same sets that you would find in any Big Box store. They are not B-Stock (factory refurbished) or freight damaged or derivative models (PriceClub versions) nor are they stolen (someone has actually inferred that they must be stolen, the price is TOO low). We do occasionally get B-Stock (factory refurbished) which can be an outstanding deal, but any  B-stock item will always be clearly marked as such.

     I would also like you to be aware that some items are offered out of the warehouse at a "Limited Time" special price. I never know how long that "Special" price is in effect for. I will list that low "Limited Time" special price as the basis of my price. Should it go off "Special" before I can update my price, it is not an intentional effort to deceive on my part, it is simply that the item has gone off of "Special" before I could update my site. This is, after all a very low tech site, not linked in real time to anything. I actually sit down at my computer, do the research, copy and paste and generally don't get back to it for at least another week.
  
    They best method of inquiry about anything listed below (or otherwise) is via email to Thom@ablemantv.com. Please use the subject line "Warehouse Direct Sales Inquiry" so that it gets to the right person. If you should choose to purchase your new set through us the process goes like this.

1) Send me an email inquiry and I will confirm price and availability.

2) Come into the store and pay for your purchase. We accept Cash, Personal Check, Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover. We also offer In-Store financing, 90 Days Same as Cash O.A.C.
    Note: If you pay with a personal check, your check will have to clear our bank account before you can take possession of the set.
    Note: We do not accept credit card payment over the phone, the processing fee is too high and we loose all profitability on the exchange.

3) Return the following day to pick-up your purchase. Home delivery is available for a $50.00 additional fee, the details of which can be worked out at the time of payment. Set-up and /or installation is also available, the fee for which varies with the complexity of your needs.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not ship. We deliver, but we do not ship. No shipping. This is the first step in a face to face transaction. Our customer base is only those who live within driving distance of Vancouver, Washington. We do not ship. Sorry, no shipping available. No, Mr. Lee Brown, Professor of Economics at Georgia State U , I will not accept your credit card via email and ship you 50 LCDs. (You would not believe the number of emails that I get that read like that.....)

Return Policy:

Defective Merchandise
Within 30 Days of purchase, replacement of the unit. If the same unit is not available, A refund in full will be given. Before a refund is processed however, an Authorized Service Center will have to determine that the defect is in manufacturing and is not the result of end user damage.
Beyond 30 Days of Purchase, Service per Manufacturers Warranty.

I changed my mind
Within 7 Days, Unopened Box,
      Refund less 15% re-stocking fee and Credit Card processing fee if you paid with a credit card originally. The fee for service associated with the purchase (delivery.... set-up.... etc.) is not refundable.

Open Box,
      No return available. PLEASE do not buy something that you are not sure that you want or that may create a financial hardship for you to own. Given our profit margin, we honestly cannot afford to absorb the financial burden of an ill conceived purchase.

Question: Why so strict?

Answer: Note some of the more radical differences in price between us and some Big Box stores. They can obviously absorb more fees and difficulties, it's built into their price. Us... tiny profit margin equals tiny ability to absorb damage.

Result: Potential huge savings for you!!!
