It’s one big box for the bundle. It didn’t fit. I already tried. I didn’t want to go to the trouble of unboxing it in the parking lot or strapping it to the roof, but both would probably work.

Yes

You live in Texas. You have a house. You need a truck.

Besides, you're a tall fellow. You'd find it very comfortable.

[Renauda]

You can rent a 1/2 ton cargo van for an hour and half for $20 plus gas from your local Home Depot.

[Copper]

Why would someone live in Texas without a truck?

[Aqua Letifer]

I don't get it. Like, buy a pizza for a guy with a truck and you're done.

[Horace]

When trying to claw back $90, every pizza, or van from Home Depot, counts.

[Aqua Letifer]

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The lunch in this case being a pizza.

Or a piano.

The metaphor falls apart there but the point stands.

Home Depot rents a truck for $20 for the hour…

Yeah, I was going to say...

Horace, perhaps you cannot afford this digital piano at the moment. Think about it.

Saving money can become a game, the point of which ceases to be saving money.

Then just buy the fucking piano and enjoy it. You’ll get over the remorse.

I won't have remorse. The point of this thread was the puzzly solution I offered, which I thought was mildly cute.

[Renauda]

No one likes to pay shipping or additional postage or sales taxes and levies over and above the quoted price. I get that. You can mitigate the shipping cost by doing what others here have suggested. Those suggestions were not cute, they were instead, earnest and sincere.

Now just buy the fucking piano.

[Jolly]

Or buy a truck.

Along with the piano.

Even better idea. I have a ‘96 Chev 2500 4X4 long box in winter storage. Runs well and has good all terrain rubber. First $750 USD cash offer takes it as is, where is.

Worth it.

Only 171 K miles. Doesn’t burn or leak so much as a drop of oil. Serpentine belt probably should be changed before any long distance highway driving. But that’s not a difficult DIY job.

Buy the way, Costco does monitor returns by membership. They will see the return the two purchases and will know what’s going on. They would likely still do it, but your account would likely be flagged.
