The Great Costco TV Return: A Not-So-Dramatic Odyssey (Because, Let's Face It, It's Costco)
So, you bought a TV at Costco. Awesome! Big screen, endless entertainment...until you realize it doubles as a disco ball when you try to watch anything but Michael Jackson concerts. Hey, it happens! But fear not, intrepid shopper, for Costco's return policy is the stuff of legends (and rightfully so). Returning a TV to Costco is about as stressful as picking out free samples – a breeze, with a sprinkle of amusement (because seriously, those free food kiosks are a delightful distraction).

Packing Up the Party Machine (or, How Not to Look Like a Rogue TV Salesperson)
First things first: grab the original box and packaging. This isn't just any return, my friend, it's a Costco return – a display of respect for the mythical satisfaction guarantee. If you're missing the box (because, let's be honest, who keeps those?), don't fret! Costco might have a spare lying around. Just channel your inner Tetris master and be prepared to explain to the cashier why your trunk suddenly resembles a cardboard crime scene.
Pro Tip: If your TV-moving skills resemble a drunken sloth, Costco might be able to offer a pickup service for a fee. Just call their customer service hotline (because who memorizes phone numbers anymore?) and they'll sort you out.
The Return Adventure (Brace Yourself for Epic Efficiency)
Head to your local Costco, membership card held high (like a warrior king about to reclaim his throne...or maybe just someone with a shopping addiction). Navigate the aisles of wonder (seriously, that giant box of gummy bears is tempting) and find the glorious land of returns. The lovely folks there will scan your receipt (or use some kind of magical Costco sorcery to find your purchase), ask a few questions (mostly to make sure you're not returning a TV you bought three years ago), and voila! Refund town, population: you.
Tip: Write down what you learned.
Important Note: You have 90 days from the purchase date to return your TV. Don't be that person who tries to return a dusty relic from the pre-flat screen era. Costco loves you, but they're not miracle workers.
The Post-Return Revelry (Because Retail Therapy is a Beautiful Thing)
Now that you're a seasoned Costco returner, it's time to celebrate! Wander the aisles and reacquaint yourself with the sheer joy of bulk everything. Maybe snag a rotisserie chicken (because, let's face it, they're legendary) or a vat-sized container of hummus (because who can resist?).
This whole ordeal wasn't so bad, was it? In fact, it was kind of fun...in a "retail therapy with a happy ending" kind of way.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
