How is Upsie warranty? Not sure if they cover refurb TVs. Thinking to get additional warranty from Upsie for peace of mind if they are good! They cover burn ins too!

Edit:
Found the answer - TVs has to be new!

From their FAQ's -
Can I get coverage for my refurbished or used item?
Yes, you can purchase a warranty on most used/refurbished electronic devices as long as they come with at least a 30-day seller or manufacturer warranty and were purchased within the last 60 days (120 days for smartphones). We are currently only able to protect new televisions, fitness equipment, major appliances, and outdoor & tools electronics.
Spoke to them, they do not cover refurbished per this line -

Mine arrived damaged - hole in the box, crack in the screen. Buydig said they did not have any more in stock so could not send me a replacement.

How are they handling this? Full refund and they're paying for return shipping? Or are they making you pay to send it back?

That is bad luck mate. Hopefully you refused the shipment so you don't have to deal with all the extra hassle. Buydig is a stupid company for choosing FedEx Super Saver shipping for these, I mean you choose cheap you get cheap.

Mine arrived with bubbles at the bottom ! Going back! It came in a generic carton box. Not worth it when spending 1300+ on a TV! Good luck to others. Rep said full refund with no restocking fee. Sent me a prepaid return shipping label.

Mine arrived today and it looks like I may have been lucky, no damage. It did arrive in a generic box, not the retail box. I checked the history and it has just over 100 hours on it.

What do you mean by bubbles on the bottom? I have never heard of this so I want to make sure I look out for it when I pick mine up tomorrow, thanks.

I have attached the pic. Never saw them on a TV before. They were like air bubbles on the phone screen guard. They were clearly visible you wont miss it if you TV has.

Thank you and wow that is completely messed up. I'm starting to think that BuyDig drove over to NJ and just bought a bunch of pallets of returned TVs that were never inspected or checked. No manufacturer would ever ship this out to a customer and call it refurbished.

also those bubbles looks like they are from tape and adhesive. My guess is whoever returned it put packing tape on the screen with some kind of protector wrap and then the box sat in a hot warehouse...when the person went to remove it...it peeled the film off causing bubbles.

I'm seeing a lot of red flags with this deal. Does anyone have any success stories?

CPS finally sent me the copies of the warranties. As someone who reads and negotiates contracts for a living, this is very poorly written and not very good for anyone who might have issues with their TV down the line. I will be refusing delivery when mine arrives tomorrow. Not worth the gamble and expect I'll be screwed if anything goes wrong.

Best of luck to anyone who decides to keep theirs. I'll wait until a deal comes around for another 65" OLED with proper manufacturer warranty. That Costco 3-year manufacturer warranty alone I think is worth probably $150-$250 on its own.

Well, I received the TV today. Package was in good condition, and managed to help the FedEx delivery person bring it into my doorway from their truck.

Unfortunately, I have a blue vertical line that stretches from the top to the bottom of screen.

I have power cycled the unit, updated the firmware, and have also run a panel refresh. Issue still persists.

From what I have read, my best option may be to go through Sony. Does anyone have any advice?

I'd rather not have to return this unit to BuyDig for a refund and then buy a new unit for $600 more.

I would be careful about this, based off what I'm seeing, these aren't even "refurbished factory models" and I would be weary if Sony is going to even bother with supporting them. My theory that these were unchecked returns bought in bulk and resold without any kind of inspection whatsoever by Sony or Buydig seems pretty concrete based off the kinds of issues that have been reported in this thread. Personally, I would just return the television to BuyDig and get your money back. The Sony was a good price, but it's also high risk.

My shipment is currently in shipment hell, but I'm kind of glad because after reading more about people that got theirs, I'm just going to not sign or pick up my delivery and have it sent back to BuyDig.

I'm going to call up Sony customer support and see what they say. From some Googling, Sony has replaced OLED TVs (that have this issue) with the same or better model. Don't see the harm in at least trying, worst they say is no. I'll report back.
