What arm did you use? Because this tv is rated at 145lbs. I haven’t seen an arm rated for that weight. Chief.

Its not difficult to order a bracket. That's what I was thinking. I mean, it isn't like someone called saying "I have a 85" TV, I demand it be installed today or I'm calling someone else" I guess it's also possible the company Fins works for now, only places an order for accessories every 3 months (per quarter). Buy large bulk and save $$$. But risk not always having what you need. But then couldn't they offer a later date on install, with a mount that was 'special ordered' and mark it up appropriately? I'm not aware of any shortages on mounts that happened last year. I don't know. I'm having a hard time following the logic. Customer wants TV wall mounted, order the proper mount, schedule the install, and get paid... What am I missing? (other than the same day customer type).

Its not difficult to order a bracket. We do stock TVs. We go through a lot of TVs. And 4K 85” TVs haven’t been a problem. So no one considered the 8k would weigh so much more. One of those things when installers aren’t spec’ing product

I don't know. I'm having a hard time following the logic. Customer wants TV wall mounted, order the proper mount, schedule the install, and get paid... What am I missing? (other than the same day customer type). What your missing is that you weren’t there and don’t know all of the details. You also just want to try to make a big deal out of something that I didn’t want to get into an Ernie sized post over. But if you would like to know, the tv was on order for 8 months. The person that placed the order wasn’t told a special mount was needed. After 8 months a shipping notice arrived and the tv showed up the next day. The install wasn’t scheduled only after the screen was checked. Trying to keep the customer happy, another person scheduled it for install the next day not knowing anything about mounting might be an issue, then when myself and another tech arrived, we found even if we did have the right mount, some wires would have to be fished and there were multiple rows of blocking in the wall. Do you feel better now?

Do you feel better now? I do! Always nice to hear the story on things we all have (or will have) to deal with and how it went for someone else. I also understand now that you have to sometimes deal with extra frustration on your jobs, that you really shouldn't have to. Which is why it is so frustrating.

Why the animosity toward someone who wants clarity? Your last post might have been subtitled "how the realities of installation are more difficult these days" or something like that. I mean, this thread is one long tortuous screw-up, with each bit of the screw-up totally normal and believable "during these trying times."
Don't fear or put down more complete communication. It's not like we're going to run out of pixels.

Why the animosity toward someone who wants clarity? Because working under stress causes irritability, which leads to snarky. I don't mind cause I understand.
