Hi
I went to TNT today. The guys from TNT told me that they will send the TV to their technical department for inspection and then they will notify you. They will also notify you with the instructions you need to complete your end of the deal. Please complete your end as soon as you can and keep me posted.

Best
Susan

Hi I posted the ad there because I live there. But right now I have been relocated here with my work. I am selling the TV in the US because I can't use it here.OK, super. at this point I need your name and address to start the deal. Best,Susan

Did you read TNT's procedure on their website? It is explained there how their service works. Let me know after you read their procedure so I can be certain that we are on the same page:

country.. I really want this but how am I guaranteed that I will get my product??
