Would give this store 0 stars if it was an option . Website says free repairs durring contract and bought the 6.99 insurance and it was the whole reason I bought from them and am paying way more then the tvs worth . Moved tv to clean some how the cored hit the screen amd now has a big black line on it. They said they can't have it repaired because it's customer damage now and u still have to pay. That's the whole point of insurance in my eyes.
