Watch Out for Sneaky Cable Deals!

I recently bought a condo and am now looking for reasonable cable options.  Since I am living by myself, I do not have the luxury of splitting the cable bill and am looking for the most affordable option.

Through my research, I have discovered that all the big name cable providers are offering deals on cable packages.  On first glance, you may think the deals are good.  However, take a look at the fine print.  These deals are not good at all!  This is what I discovered.

AT&T which provides DirectTV, had a deal offering basic cable for as low as $29.99 for 12 months.  However, if you read the fine print you discover you must sign into a two year contract.  This means that after the first year, your cable bill nearly doubles to rates as high as $54-$60, and this is just for basic cable.  Imagine how much your bill would increase for add-ons!  Comcast and Verizon are also guilty of doing this same sneaky sale tactic.  Which leaves many consumers such as myself without an affordable cable option.

I did find out courtesy of an ehow.com article, that cable providers are required by the FCC to offer a limited basic cable option.  I did try to inquire about this from Comcast and was informed that in my area it is still $20.99 per month and only gets you channels 1-22.  Is it me, or does that seem high?  I am at the point, where I would like them to bring back the analog rabbit antennas.  At least then I could get for free the standard 3 to 4 channels.

This led my search in a new direction.  I discovered that Netflix is offering a one month free trial and then it is only $7.99 per month after the trial period is over.  With Netflix I can get thousands of movies and TV shows without the commercials.  However, I will lose the capability to watch shows when first aired.  That is the trade off. I will also need to purchase a Wii, Play Station or one of their other compatible components in order to get NetFlix to work on my TV within my Carousel White TV lift cabinet.   I have decided I would rather pay a one-time fee with very low monthly payments than pay high monthly payments over the years.  If you do the math, Netflix will save you hundreds.

Spring 2011 Trend: Beach Inspired Decor

Since the wrap-up of the High Point Furniture Market, I have been reading many reviews that highlight the trend of nautical/beach inspired décor. One key element when trying to achieve this look is white washed furniture. White furniture keeps the room light and airy. Cool colors like blue and sea foam green are perfect accents. Also, don’t be afraid of bold patterns! Interior designers aren’t shying away from ocean inspired motifs. Anchors, marine life, and boat patterns are covering everything from throw pillows to the upholstery of sofas and ottomans.

Incorporating a TV lift cabinet into beach inspired décor is easier than you might think. ImportAdvantage offers several TV lift cabinet designs that would be a perfect fit. My personal favorite is the Coastal Creations but Carousel, Crystal Pointe, Moderna and Prism are all available with a white finish. With such a large selection, it’s easy to find a TV lift cabinet that incorporates your personal style into a beach inspired room.

Shipping Information for Our Canadian Customers

Hi everyone!  Recently we have received quite a few inquiries from our friendly neighbors up north asking us the following questions:

1.)    Do you ship to Canada?

2.)    If so, what is the cost of shipping?

3.)    Are duty and brokerage fees included?

4.)    How long does it take to deliver my TV lift cabinet?

I must confess, while the information can be located on our site, it is not the easiest to find.  I have decided to share our Canadian Shipping Policy with you all here.

Yes, we do ship to Canada.  However, shipping is not free.  If you live within 50 miles of these cities listed below you will be charged $499 extra during check out for TV lift cabinets and $250 for the lift machines.

Within 50 miles of these cities:

  • Calgary
  • Vancouver
  • Toronto
  • Ottawa
  • Montreal
  • Edmonton

Additional charges will be applied if you live beyond 50 miles of these major cities. GST, duty and brokerage fees are all included in your purchase price for all orders shipped to Canada. All paperwork is handled by ImportAdvantage, and the GST will be remitted on your behalf to the Canadian government.  The average Canadian delivery time takes between 10-14 business days.  The increase in transit time is due to customs clearance and the additional distance for our warehouse to your home.

We hope this helps answer your questions.  If you need further assistance, please call or email us.  We are happy to assist.

Incorporate Asian Inspired Décor in Your Home!

While many design trends come and go, one constant has been the popularity of Asian inspired design. Identifiable by its clean lines and natural elements, Asian influences not only create a stylish room but also inspire relaxation and a feeling of zen. Fortunately, TV lift cabinets can fit perfectly into Asian décor when you pick the right design. The Tao TV lift cabinet and the Hideaway TV lift cabinet are both available in a formal black finish or a more natural brown finish. Here are some tips to achieve the Asian inspired look you’ve been imagining:

  • Minimalism is key – try neutral colors on the walls and bold colors on fabrics and other accent pieces
  • Keep the lighting subdued and diffused. Rice paper lamps and Chinese paper lanterns are great for this effect
  • Bring nature inside – rock gardens, bamboo and bonsai trees, tabletop fountains, cherry blossoms or orchids work great
  • Clean lines and furniture low to the ground keep with the Asian theme and minimalist approach. Also, avoid clutter! Try using Japanese screens to hide areas that may not be completely organized
  • Bronze statues and fixtures are a staple of Asian décor. Try incorporating our Tao TV lift cabinet or Hideaway TV lift cabinet! The bronze fixtures are a perfect fit!

Free Delivery and In-Home Placement

Did you know that shipping furniture can be quite expensive and cost up to several hundred dollars for one piece of furniture?  Sadly, this cost is expected to increase in the next few months as gas prices keep climbing.  Many retail furniture companies have been forced to charge a shipping fee to customers to help cover the cost of shipping.  This can range from $100 up to 10% of sales price.  Imagine you have just purchased your TV lift cabinet, dining room table set and living room furniture for your new home for a total of $10,000.  Ten percent of that is $1,000 that you would have to pay just to ship your furniture!  Yowsers!

Well, I have some good news.  At ImportAdvantage, we offer FREE shipping and In-Home Placement.  Yes, you heard me right.  I said free shipping.

Your TV lift cabinet will be delivered and placed in the room of choice.  At which time the delivery people will unpack your TV lift cabinet in front of you, allowing the chance to inspect.  Once inspection is completed to your satisfaction, all packing material will be removed from your home.   Simple, easy and best of all free. Now how do you like them apples?
