I bought my 46-inch plasma Samsung TV in July of last year from 6th Avenue store in Lake Grove, Long Island. I paid $400 for that TV and an extended warranty for $299. I was watching TV with my daughter when it went blank with a blue screen. I didn't know what to do. My wife and I, we searched for the receipts and found them. I looked for a number to call in those receipts and I did not find a number to call. I went to the store I bought the TV from to find out that the place was close. I searched online for any store in NY and all stores in NY were close. I saw a few stores in NJ and I called them up. They never responded to their phone. All of us who were victimized by that fraud should call the Better Business Bureau to make our voice heard and to look for freelance lawyer to help us. I'm stuck with a broken TV. Please help us, somebody, anybody.

I had purchased a 46" LED TV. Since I had purchased it in 2011 at the 6th Avenue Electronics store in Jersey City, NJ, I have had problems. I called to have it serviced and no one answers the phone numbers I called. The warranty department does not answer the phone. I had left messages, but no call back. I had paid a warranty of $299.99. I was told that they went out of business. What can I do to get my money refunded? And my warranty? I hope that there is a lawyer who will take all of us customers who have been ripped off by 6th Avenue. Please help! Thank you.

I bought a TV in August of '09 with a 4-year extended bulb warranty. My bulb burned out and I cannot reach them. I know they went out of business, but I was not informed who would be servicing their warranties. I paid an additional 400 dollars for the warranty. I did not receive an email, letter or phone call from anyone associated with them informing me what I should do when they went out of business. Please help me because right now, that 400 dollars means a lot to me.

I purchased an LG 53" TV from 6th Ave Electronics. I got a two-year warranty and for $399.99, I purchased a 4-year warranty extension which would cover my TV until September of 2012. On Saturday, March 31, 2012, the TV stopped working. I now find that all of the 6th Ave. Electronic stores are closed. I called the maker of the TV, LG Electronics, and they state they are not responsible and I must deal with the store who sold the product. 6th Ave has apparently closed all their stores. They do not answer the phone listed on their website.

I brought a Kicker solo baric L7 speaker. It had a one year warranty and the speaker froze up after three months of usage. When I emailed the company to let them know that I needed my speaker fixed, the issue was there is only a 30 day warranty on their goods. When I brought the speaker, it had on the receipt "one year". I called Kicker and they said that 6th Avenue Electronics was not an authorized dealer and now I'm out of 400 dollars. This is not good business to advertise products. They're not going to honor the warranty.

Hitachi 42" plasma HDTV 4-year warranty - The TV does not stay on and keeps shutting off. I called the store where we purchased it in Carl Place, NY to discover all 6th Ave Electronic stores have left Long Island, NY. I even called their stores in New Jersey for guidance on how to get my TV fixed, which is still under warranty until this Sept of 2012. No one answered. I wrote to the corporate address by email to no avail. Again, no answer. I then found the website of consumers complaints to see that I am not the only one with a problem with them. We should file a class action suit as there seems to be no other recourse. They took our money and left us holding inferior products and worthless warranties. I thought New York had laws to cover this type of business tactics? They should all go to jail. Who else do we need to contact to correct this robbery?

We apologize, but are no longer able to honor the extended warranty you purchased from 6th Avenue because we are going out of business. If your item is still within the manufacturer's warranty, you may contact the manufacturer to service the unit. If your item is no longer within the 1 year manufacturer's warranty time frame, you may fill out the claim form that is attached and submit it to the office of McCarter & English LLP, who will determine the course of action that will be taken regarding your warranty. If you dropped off an item to be repaired and have not received a call to pick up the item, please fill out the attached form and submit it to the office of McCarter & English LLP who will determine the course of action that will be taken in reimbursing you for your item. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I purchased a TV from this vendor on 9/4/2010, along with the optional extended coverage warranty. After 34 days, the TV failed and would not power on. I called the store for an exchange, but was denied. I was told by 6th Ave that I had to contact the manufacturer because it was within the original manufacturer warranty period. The TV was picked up on Oct. 26th. After waiting for 6 weeks, I contacted 6th Ave to get a status. At this time, the TV was in for service longer than I owned it. I was told by 6th Ave that there was a mistake on their part and I should have called their service company instead. The broken TV was returned to my home and I called 6th Ave again to ask for a replacement because of the time I have been without the unit.
I was then told I had to create another service call and it may be several more weeks before I can get my TV back and repaired again. Even though I purchased an additional extended warranty, I have not been able to have my TV fixed for nearly 7 weeks, with no ETA on the repair. This was a brand new unit, with an extended warranty. If 6th Ave had given me correct information from the beginning, there is a chance I would have my TV fixed already.

I purchased a TV at the store on 6-30-07. It is a Sharp Aquos. The salesman had informed me at the time of sale that I had a 3-year warranty with the store. The unit became defective recently and so I contacted the store who informed me that I was still under warranty. They scheduled service within 72 hours. At the end of the day, I received a call back from the store telling me that my warranty had expired. So I was asked to contact the corporate office to reach out for help in the matter.
I called the corporate office and I told them that I was misinformed by the TV salesman who assisted me. And in consideration of the issue, I asked if they can provide me a one-time extended warranty as a courtesy. The person who spoke to me, "Katie," told me that she could not offer me the extension considering the circumstances and that the store will have to lose the $105.00 fee if the extension was approved. I told her if they would not be willing to lose $105.00 to satisfy a customer, and she told me that unfortunately they could not help. This was after a series of phone calls that were made dealing with the store manager Daniel. I feel that, based on the verbal misinformation, I should be given the extension of the warranty. As a result, neither me nor any of my relatives will ever buy from 6th Avenue.

One of the parts they needed was not available at the time of my purchase, so they said they would order it for Tuesday next week. My original appointment to have it installed was Tuesday of next week. However, I could not make it because I got called into jury duty.
So, I rescheduled for the following Tuesday. When I went in on Tuesday, the gentleman (Kevin) told me that the part had not come in and would be in later on that day. However, they had scheduled me for a 10 am appointment. He said I could leave the car there. I explained I could not, because I had to get to work that afternoon. Kevin said, “Well, how would I know that you had work?” I do not think it is any of his business or good customer service to speak to me in that manner.
My girlfriend then called to ask what happened since this part should have been in a week ago. Kevin told her it would be in on Thursday after. He told me it would be in on Tuesday later in the day. I just kept getting the runaround from Kevin and he was not willing to do anything but reschedule my appointment. I had traveled 30 minutes to get to the store only for them to tell me they could not do the installation. Nobody at 6th Ave electronics bothered to call me to tell me that the part was not in and I would not be able to get the stereo installed.

On 10-08-2008, I purchased a 26-inch TV with an extended warranty. On May 5, 2009, the TV blew up and destroyed my home and everything in it. I called the store right away and told them what happened. They said they needed the fire department report which I gave them. They said they would send to the corporate office. I called at least 25 times. No one ever called back. I feel I'm entitled to my refund of $528.76. They are no longer carrying that brand of TV. Can you please help me?

I got a Toshiba Ragza 50 inches on May 2008. On November 2009, in the middle of the screen appeared lines up and down like 7 inches wide. I paid for an extended warranty so I called Sixth Avenue Store where I did buy the TV. They came 2 weeks later and told me that they have to replace a defective piece. This will take 1 week or 2. After 2 week of not having any news, I stared calling. Now it’s January already and I have been calling almost every day, and every time I call, I get a different story.
They put me on hold and then hung up. Sixth Avenue said that they can’t do anything. The one responsible for the warranty is actually Toshiba and they gave me 3 different numbers to call, but after I called, I’m sill waiting. I don't know what to do. I paid 2700$ for this TV and I don't want to lose it. Sixth Avenue and Toshiba are bad. I will never buy from them again.

I received a Phillips portable DVD player from my son for a Christmas gift. The player was brought from 6th Ave. Electronics in Lynbrook, Sunrise Hwy. I did not open the gift until about a week after the holiday. When I finally opened the gift, I discovered that the player was all scratch up and the screen was cracked.

I purchased by check a portable DVD player that was defective. The check was cashed by them on December 2, 2009, and they have been giving me the run around for my refund. They come up with stories. The last story was that they sent the check to the wrong address. Each time I call, I get another story. I will never step foot in that store again. They are deceitful. I want my $96.24 refunded back to me since they have my money since December 2.

We bought a COBY television that could not correctly tune channels. The channels would come in blurry and distorted, often without sound. We have cable so we knew it had nothing to do with the recent rain, also our other televisions were fine.
When we went to exchange it, we found out we were out of our 30 day free warranty. We had purchased an additional $30 warranty that was good for one year. When we went to the store, we were told that the purchased warranty was for that TV and, once we had it replaced with our warranty, we would only have a free 30 days warranty instead of the full year I had originally purchased.

Saturday (2/23/08) purchased a DVD Home Theater System by Coby for $53.45 and Sunday (2/24/08) tried to return unit after finding out that it would not work with my current equipment. Return service stated the DVD player had scratches and they would not accept unit back. So call scratches were present on unit out of the box. The units was never connected to my equipment or fully unpackaged.

Two incidents. First, the store's policy is in question. Any purchase $200 and over, refunds will be granted by checks from the home office within up to 10 days. This refund policy should be outlawed. A minute to take your money and days or weeks to receive it back while they have both the retured merchandise and your money. In my case, because the only person that handles check refunds was out indifinitely, they were uncertain as to when exactly I would receive my refund of over $400. I didn't even know that I wouldn't be able to receive cash upon return. Don't know if I just didn't see this policy posted or it wasn't posted where it could be seen readily. However, my next purchase from them I didn't see it clearly posted but I remembered from the above experience, but still ran into a different problem.
Last month, August 2007, I purchased a 19 inch TV while on sale for $248. I returned it two days later as it was defective. (My DVD got stuck in the built in DVD player and it would only play one channel which was channel 6. No problem. I was asked if I wanted to try another or receive a refund which of course I would have had to wait for by mail, but I opted to try another TV, same one, just a different one, thinking that one probably was just defective, not the whole lot. I was told verbally by Sonja that I had 30 days to return the second one if there was a problem. Well, I did have a problem but not with the TV at the time because I never got a chance to try it out due to two people in my immediate family being diagnosed with cancer back to back, one being my 95 years old mother, and my 35 years old niece. This took up all of my time after work going to Phila. with my niece for treatment, and helping to take care of my mother, and before I looked up, it was 30 days later and I hadn't even tried the TV out. I took it back unopened on the 30th day, hoping to return it and was told that I couldn't return it, nor could I get a refund because I purchased it on a "defective return". It was the very same girl and she said", "I don't understand, what's wrong with it in a "are you stupid attitude or is it me?"
This after I had already explained that I never tried it but was afraid to get stuck with another defective item and lose my money, and that's when she told me that I couldn't get my money back either way, because of the "defective return" issue. When I told her that she was the one that told me that I had 30 days to return it, she lied and said she didn't. I remember clearly that being the last thing that she said as I turned to leave with the second TV. Never did she say or offer the information that I would never be able to get a refund once I opted to try out another TV. What kind of policy is that? Why would I opt to try another TV if I knew by doing so, my money would forever be locked in? They told me that it was all on the back of the receipt, but I was verbally told I had 30 days, plus, you have to purchase the item in order to get a receipt to see what they were talking about. Anyhow, it turned out that they have a 10 days return policy for a refund, and 30 days for defective items which they would try to repair, or send out to be repaired, but no refund cash or otherwise. But from what they told me, even if I had returned the second TV within the 10 days, I still wouldn't have been able to get a refund of any kind. That's not good for the customer. All of their policies lock in your money. By the way, it was more than 15 days, including weekends, before I got my more than $400 refund by mail.

My complaint is against 6th Ave electronics located is Springfield, NJ on route 22.
I bought a Navigation System at this locations about 2 years ago, and their extended warranty/replacement plan. On August or this year, I brought back the Navigation system because it stopped working, and I was told it would take 6-8 weeks for it to get repaired. It has now been over 12 weeks, and no word on the unit.
I've made SEVERAL attempts after the eight week to get information on the unit and the progress of the repair, but they have no answers for me. I visited the store on Nov 16th and asked to speak to a Store Manager (Dawayne). After waiting for about half an hour, I was told that he was not coming to see me by the Customer Service rep Alexis. Alexis left a note along with my work order for the morning Customer Service Rep (Jennifer) to call me the following day (Nov 15) and give me an update. She also said that I should call Corporate and see if they can give me any information.
On Friday, November 15th, I did not get a call back from Jennifer, and I called Corporate. I called Joy, the Corporate Customer Service manager and Matt, who is her assistant and left them SEVERAL messages. After about 20-30 calls, I got Matt on the phone. He told me that he needed 5 minutes to gather my paper work and he would call me back. After an hour I started calling him back and left both him and Joy messages. After getting him on the phone again, he told me that I just had to wait, so I asked to speak to Joy.
I told Joy that it's been 4 weeks passed the expected time, and she told me to wait! I asked her to replace the Navigation System since it's been so long, and I'm in need of it. She said that she would call me back on Monday Nov 20 with an update. There was NO CALL! I've made numerous attempts to call since and no one calling me back. I have recommended a friend and 2 co-workers to 6th ave, and I've spent several thousand of dollars within the past 2 years. If I knew customer service was this bad, I would've never shopped there. I now find myself in desperate need of the Navigation System and no one is willing to help. Please Help Me if possible.

I purchased and paid for on September 13, 2006 a Plasma TV with DVD Home Entertainment Center and other items. Out of the 5 items ordered I only received 4. I was never notified of when I would receive the 5th item the DVD Entertainment Center (delivery ticket just said back-ordered). I called the store on October 16, 2006 and was told that they did not have the DVD system I ordered and paid for. This was a special price item at the time I purchased it and there were many in the store that night. Apparently they did not put one aside for me with my order. Now they don't have any and now they have more expensive ones in the store that they said I can purchase.
I want what I paid for not to spend more money for another unit. This is their trick to try and get more money out of me instead of giving me what I paid for. I would like this matter looked into and especially see if this is a common practice for Sixth Avenue Electronics to rip people off. I am very upset and disappointed in how this matter was handled and need your help. How can a store sell something to you and then not deliver. Take your money for a month, and had no intention of calling and letting me know what is going on is even more outrageous.
