I want to purchase a tv from BJs, but it won't fit in my car, the box is pretty large 68in by 39 in, any idea how i can get it home to the heights?

BJ's doesn't offer delivery, and the same TV is more expensive online.

Edit: I went with Task Rabbit, it was $35 for an hour

UberXL

This is the answer. Or a local taxi and request a minivan

It's not possible to check If the car is large enough ahead of time

Minivans and large SUVs will easily fit that TV. Check the rental companies and rent something like a Pacifica.

Rent a van from home Depot at the Holland tunnel or U-Haul across the street for $20 or uberXL

Renting a van isn't a bad idea

Just a tip: do NOT lay a tv flat

d_frost OP t1_ismkg5f wrote on October 17, 2022 at 2:29 AM

Yes, good call

Some guy used a citi bike outside my spot to do this with a 50 inch one, I have pics

I want to see the pics.

City Bikes need bigger baskets

kulgan t1_itj5ke2 wrote on October 24, 2022 at 12:53 AM

Oh, man, great shot! Citi Bikes sure do need better baskets, but something that would comfortably carry a huge TV is maybe overkill for most of us!

Ohhh, i like this idea, i haven't used them before, but I'll look into it

Bjs has delivery! Free i think , 3-5 days if you can wait! But i never had luck with delivery of flat screens

d_frost OP t1_ismm4zx wrote on October 17, 2022 at 2:42 AM

From items purchased in the store? I asked an associate and they said they don't offer that.

You can order online and get it delivered, but the issue is, the tv is on sale in the store and not online

The_GreatGonzy t1_isoaglx wrote on October 17, 2022 at 1:56 PM

they don't offer it. They used to have a 3rd party delivery site but not anymore. There are apps you can download for delivery.

Get a friend, get a dolly, hand truck, or belt straps and take the light rail. Or a bus if there is one.

Glad_ds t1_ismz49a wrote on October 17, 2022 at 4:40 AM

put the box on the roof of your car. Buy "racheting straps" from Harbor Freight (to secure it), and place a THIN mattress or a blanket between the roof and box, so it doesn't leave scratches. I have moved LOTS of things this way.

d_frost OP t1_isnujvq wrote on October 17, 2022 at 11:34 AM

OLED tvs aren't supposed to be put on their side, even when i side the box

Glad_ds t1_isqyy8z wrote on October 18, 2022 at 1:25 AM

Interesting. i wasn't aware fo that. Home Depot truck rental is your best choice then.

why are you being so sensible?
