well i bought 2 mighty muggs from them, and it tooka bout 3-5 days to process and then... id say a week and a half later i was able to pick it up since they ship it from their warehouse.

the vizio i was looking at was 32" for $497 do you think i would be better off buying a samsung off newegg with free shipping and no sales tax?

Walmart will always charge sales tax on purchases from Walmart.com because they have a store in your area.

Their shipping on something for Site-To-Store on a TV would probably be 7-10 days.

If you can find a comparable TV from Newegg, especially if it's a Samsung, I'd go with that.

I did a site to store order on the Dark Knight blu-ray the day it came out and it was well into the next week that it was available for pick-up. I actually ended up driving to the store and buying it off a display that same day. In case ya didn't know, they actually ship the item to a store from their warehouse if you order it that way even if it's in stock at the store you pick up from.

Btw, a 32" vizio for $500 seems kind of high.. you'd be better off with a brand name from somewhere else that would be in the same price range. I've never seen a Samsung I didn't like.. and I always get compliments on my Sony even with a homemade hanger antenna for reception. (Sonys are overpriced though)

Honestly, 32" is too small. I originally planned on getting a 32" as well, then saw the 37" next to it. I don't know why, but 5" was a drastic difference. Now I want a 42+

You should go to your local Costco/Sam's Club/BJ's to see if they have what you like. They'll definitely be cheaper, great warranty/return policy, and if you don't have a membership, you'll save more than the cost of it with this purchase alone.

You can get a 37" Vizio 1080p (http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=411563) at Sam's for $577.

Six feet away? I'm only like 3-4 from my current tv when I'm playing my PS3 and anything over a 20" screen would be murder on my eyes.

It all depends on the space you have though, since if you have the ability to sit further from it a larger size WOULD be nice, though for my purposes(a few hours of tv, a few hours of gaming)a 20-22" one would be perfect.

I have my eye on a tv from NewEgg or an LCD monitor with HDCP from Amazon. Both are in the 20" or so range and both are under $300. Now I just need to get the $$$ up for one....or both.:roll:

site to store takes a really really long time. ive ordered games for site to store from walmart before and it took 2 weeks for a game, so not sure how much faster it will take for a tv
