The Samsung 55-inch RU8000 4K Smart LCD TV is down to $499.99 at Costco. The same TV goes for around $600 on Amazon and $700 at other retailers like Best Buy. This does come with free shipping, but it won't be something standard. You will have to find a good delivery date and pick that. If you're worried about the package getting stolen or something while you're out, you can pick Threshold Delivery to have it placed inside your garage or just inside your front door. You can also pay an extra $45 for White Glove Delivery, which will include placing your TV, setting it up, and removing the packing materials.
