Office Depot teams with Zip to offer TV installation

By now, most people know that Best Buy and Circuit City offer TV installation and training. A large number of us might feel we don’t need it, but the option is still always there when we buy HDTVs. It is expected of big stores that specialize in electronics to offer the services, but there are plenty of other stores that sell HDTVs that might not offer installation and training. Office Depot can be added to the list of those that now offer the services.

Office Depot is teaming with Zip Express Installation to offer its customers TV installation and training either the next day or five days later. It seems like a great chance for those people who don’t know too much about HDTVs to learn how to use them, how to change the display settings and change inputs and whatnot. It costs $129.95 for the service, but I’m sure to some people it is a small price to pay to have it installed for you and to be taught how to use it. At least it’d be a blessing to the techies that they would call every time they run into a problem trying to use the HDTV.

Looking through what Zip has to offer, it is rather surprising that it and Office Depot are only teaming up to offer the TV installation and training. Zip also offers computer, home theater, digital camera/camcorder and universal remote setup services. Sure, it goes a bit overboard with offering to set things up for a price, but that could only mean more money for Office Depot, right? Or maybe Office Depot only sees TV installation as a good service to be in. After all, look at everything Best Buy and Geek Squad have to go through for offering every service possible.
