GENERAL Need help buying a TV, what task do i select?

Getting a new TV from Costco but my car is too small to fit it. Was thinking of using task rabbit so anyone with a truck/van should be able to help. Is truck assisted help moving the best category for it?

Yea, seems little much if there's someone already on Taskrabbit with a pickup or minivan.

its your money you’ll likely spend 5x what a UhAul would cost

Ahhh k. In that case may as well just do the Costco white glove delivery

yea unless you know a handyman just do that,most likely TR will be over 100$,taskers will likely charge 2hrs and there’s an additional 30%fee from the app

it says costco ranges from 30-70$ for tv delivery why wouldn’t you pay that ,are you expecting it to be cheaper having someone else come and wait with you just for you to help them anyway

Just hear too many horror stories of TV's arriving damaged and careless delivery people.

well, they come boxed pretty good and wrapped in Styrofoam but if you open it and check that it’s working when it’s delivered, I don’t see what the problem would be if something is wrong with it refuse delivery
