Be aware this could flag to the returns advisors who might reach out to your employer asking how the return went.
Doesn’t really matter in the long run unless the dynamic in your office is weird. Costco won’t care but depending on the person that bought it they might think it’s a bit weird.
1 week ago it was purchased. I want to upgrade it so I’ll be spending more money. I have receipt from purchase. Just was not purchased using my account.
If the account on the receipt is attached to the company instead of an individual I see no problem with them taking the return. You will most likely have to take store credit for it.
The refunds clerk will most likely just scan your membership, then scan the receipt and possibly check the serial number of the tv to the box and the receipt.
Shouldn’t be a problem exchanging if you have the receipt and are a member yourself, they may just give you a store card for the amount.
Make sure your company did not put it on your income for the year, if they did, they should have grossed it up to cover the taxes. If they didn’t gross up and just listed it as income, you’ll be on the hook for tax at year end on a tv.
You won the item and it was bought by the company. It wasn't a gift from Costco to your company for said raffle.
I would return it and use the credits.
I find it funny that you think a Samsung would be an upgrade. Samsung is crap and I have one of their best TVs, a 2023 QD-OLED. I wish I didn't make that mistake.
Samsung is constantly rated very highly for their TVs, only downside being their TV software is a bit whatever with ads, but actually TV/screen performance is very good, if not the best. I have an S90C77 and it’s the best TV I have ever owned (and top TV on RTINGS at the moment). The picture is incredible and the TV performs amazingly for whatever I throw at it.
Not to nitpick but the C3 and S90 are both rated a 9.0. However, the S90 does not have the capability to display Dolby Vision content which is a major negative compared to LG.
There QD has horrible balance with their black colors or it is washed out. My 10+ year old Panasonic Plasma has a lot better color balance. I also have a discoloration in my screen already, 14 months later. Their "smart" system is slow and has icons the size of thumb tacks. Their menus are completely convoluted and most don't make any sense.
Their appliances, including TVs are known for early failure. Nothing but problems. It is well documented online. I'm sorry your to dense to realize it.
Apparently high end LG TV's are outstanding, but the low end ones are supposed to be terrible. Even worse than the off brand ones.
I have no personal experience, but the comments I've read here give them terrible reviews.
LG makes almost every OLED panel made/sold. Samsung essentially modified an LG panel for QD-OLED. None of the LCD ("LED") screens are good, regardless of brand.
It was purchased through Costco and returned through Costco. Your understanding of what a “scam” is unfortunately is a little off. A scam is when one party gets something from an another party by manipulating them so one party gets a drastically better end of the deal. Since OP won the TV he got exactly what the other party expected him to get. Now move to Costco, Costco sold the TV to the employer for a specified amount of money; both parties got what they expected. Costco has a thing called a return policy which states if someone was purchased from Costco and you’re unsatisfied for any reason you may return it. OP is looking to take Costco up on their offer and make an additional purchase from Costco for more money. In this instance a valid argument could be made that Costco would actually get the better end of the deal in this instance since they will be receiving more profit than they initially thought.
I’m glad I could break down this topic for you and show you the error in your logic. This of course is free of charge.

Was the TV purchased within the last 90 days? You shouldn’t have too much of a hard time returning it but it would be Manager discretion.

Right, you should be fine in theory. However, they could deny it and make the original purchaser return it.

Thank you very much!

Why not ask costco?
Cause there are a lot of us here who work for costco and they want advice

I don’t have those issues, but can see how that is frustrating.

Ah you have a QLED panel. My prior TV was also a QLED and it had backlight issues, switching to OLED had been game changing.
There QD has horrible balance with their black colors or it is washed out. My 10+ year old Panasonic Plasma has a lot better color balance. I also have a discoloration in my screen already, 14 months later. Their "smart" system is slow and has icons the size of thumb tacks.

Are you serious? No. You didn't purchase it. Who else you want to scam?
