3.0 out of 5 stars Will almost certainly arrive damaged with ground shipping..., July 8, 2005

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel (Kitchen)

... foregoing the two reviews about shipping damage, I thought I'd try ordering this product for several reasons:

1) The hi-res dealer images of it from Sanyo.com made it look like one sexy fridge
2) The energy rating was good
3) I knew if the product did arrive damaged, Amazon would replace it, or refund my money anyway
4) I have Amazon Prime, so I figured paying $3.99 for overnight shipping would also make the delivery people think this was a special product, since it was going overnight, and not being sent across the country via Ground shipping, and abused in the process.

Well, the product arrived today, and initially, I thought, "This can't be good."

The box was extremely tattered... and the top was ripped open. I also heard rattling as the FedEx man helped me carry it up the stairs. Then he left, without even getting a signature. Oh, and at my front door the FedEx man just dropped the box on the ground in front of me.

I opened the box upstairs, and saw horrible, horrible packaging, as others have mentioned. The box was all beat up, and several of the inch or less thick padding was cracked and damaged.

Luckily, the fridge seemed to make it through intact... no dents, and it worked. The rattling as I carried it was the compressor... I still don't know if this is normal though.

These fridges are indeed shipped on a pallet, you can see that from the shipping sticker from Sanyo to Amazon's Nevada warehouse. Three fridges per pallet. All Amazon does is stick a FedEx/UPS sticker on these boxes, and ship them off. If I didn't get this sent overnight, I can almost guarantee the fridge would've beat beat to hell going ground from Nevada to New York.

As for this part of the item description,
"To keep the refrigerator looking brand new, its stainless-steel door has a clear acrylic coating that eliminates fingerprints and is easy to keep clean."

Well, it won't be happening for me, as the clear acrylic coating came ripped halfway down the upper right corner of the fridge, so I really had no choice but to rip all the rest of it off.

The fridge works, and it DOES look amazingly sexy, but unless you have Prime, or want to pay for expedited shipping, this will almost certainly come damaged until Amazon decides to start packaging these adequately. And really, I don't see why they don't, because it's just a hassle for the end customer, and an expensive dime on their end to pay for return shipping, and then shipping again for a replacement.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepared for the worst, received the best!, January 10, 2007

Amy Able "Angel" (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel (Kitchen)

I carefully read every customer review of this product before placing my order and was therefore prepared for it to arrive in less than pristine condition. When I got the email from Amazon stating they had shipped utilizing DHL, I groaned inwardly as I have rarely had good experience with them. However, as a frequent Amazon customer, I knew they would equitably resolve any problems that might arise.
Well, it arrived today, brought to my front door in the arms of a rather small woman and placed gently inside my front door. There were no gouges, cuts, mangled portions or areas dented in on the box. When I opened it, I quickly discovered what everyone meant about the lack of adequate protective packaging. However the fridge was in pristine condition, absolutely perfect. It is whisper quiet and I feel certain I will have no problem sleeping with it in my room even though I am an incredibly light sleeper who is easily awakened with even the lightest sound. It is very roomy and the crisper is especially great since I like to keep fresh fruit on hand and truly enjoy it most when it is very cold. As soon as I plugged the unit up, it began freezing water in the ice tray.
I have no negative comments to make whatsoever and will gladly recommend this refrigerator to anyone and everyone who is in the market for a compact or mini fridge.

Unmet expectations - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sanyo SR-3770S Counter-High Refrigerator, Black and Stainless-Steel (Kitchen)

Just like the previous reviewer, the refrigerator was inadequately packed and arrived very damaged. The front stainless steel was dented, the bottom was bent, and the whole front corner was bent in. These corresponded to damage and rips in the cardboard box. The problem seems to be that they were originally crated by Sanyo for individual sale at Costco (special order production just for them) and probably shipped to them on a pallet. They were obviously never meant to be shipped individually as there is essentially no padding inside the flimsy box (a few slivers of styrofoam top and bottom). Amazon does not repack or strengthen the packaging, so damage is inevitable. STEER CLEAR. Also, the actual dimensions of the unit are not what are listed and claimed by Sanyo. It is slightly taller than stated, which might make it unacceptable for tight applications with no room to spare. The rear of the unit does not have any protective "feet" at all: it is bare metal which can scratch your floor.
