Costco Wholesale can be a great option when you’re looking to buy your next TV. After all, it’s on our list of the best places to buy a TV.
Money expert Clark Howard loves Costco Wholesale for its great prices and quality products. From tires to gas to lunch, there are several things that will single-handedly pay for your Costco membership.) If you’ve ever walked into a Costco, you know you’re hit with a whole section of TVs and electronics almost the minute you step inside the warehouse club.
In this article, we’ll take a look at the TVs that Costco sells, the extended warranty offered on all Costco TVs, the store’s return policy and more.
Costco sells a variety of off-brands and popular name brands alike. As of April 2023, these include:
As far as screen size, there’s everything from modestly-sized, less than 40 inches, all the way up to jumbo screens that are almost 90 inches!
Here’s a quick look at a few price points in some popular screen sizes we found when we checked in April 2023.
While we don’t normally recommend extended warranties on products like electronics, we don’t complain when you can get one for free. Costco has one of the best extended warranties in the business on TVs. The warehouse club extends the manufacturer’s warranty on TVs — along with other select electronics purchases — to two years from the date of purchase.
Costco has a near-legendary return policy that basically lets you return anything, at any time, no questions asked — with some limited exceptions.
Unfortunately, one of those exceptions is TVs. With Costco TVs, you only get 90 days to return the television after purchase if you decide you’re unhappy with it.
Costco has a partnership with DirecTV that embeds salespeople in the TV department at your local warehouse club. As of April 2023, you can get a $50 Costco Shop Card with a new DIRECTV STREAM service.
Of course, this deal may not be worth it for you. There are several cheaper live TV streaming services that may better serve you and your wallet. Check our free channel tool to see which service works best for you before signing up.
Costco can be a great place to buy a TV thanks to its great prices and generous warranty extension.
Just be sure to comparison shop before any major purchase. Our friends at ClarkDeals.com routinely list the best deals on TVs right here.
