This guide focuses on big & bulky deals you can find in-store (plus a few online highlights) at:

• HomeGoods

• Homesense

• Lowe’s

• Walmart

• World Market

• Costco

Black Friday falls on November 28, 2025, but most retailers are already running early Black Friday and holiday promotions across furniture, mattresses, TVs, and exercise equipment.

GoShare can pick up these large items from the store and deliver them to your home so you don’t have to rent a truck, borrow a friend’s pickup truck, or wrestle a box the size of a refrigerator into your backseat.

Walmart: Big-Screen TVs, Mattresses & Budget-Friendly Furniture

Why Walmart is great for big & bulky gifts:
Walmart’s Black Friday event features deals up to 50% off across many categories, including furniture, tech and mattresses. Their Black Friday hub shows furniture deals up to 50% off, tech up to 50% off, and mattress and home deals heavily marked down. Learn more at Walmart.com

Big & Bulky Gift Ideas at Walmart

1. 65″ + 4K TVs (Perfect for Movie Night Upgrades)
Examples you’ll find in Walmart’s Black Friday TV section:

• Save $200 on a Samsung 75″ Class Crystal UHD U7900F 4K Smart TV

• Save $120 on a VIZIO 65″ Class Quantum 4K QLED HDR Smart TV 

These boxes are huge, ideal for an in-store pickup plus a GoShare same-day delivery straight to your living room wall.

2. Mattresses in a Box
Walmart’s Black Friday mattress page features dozens of options with big markdowns:

• Save $801 on the EGOHOME 14 inch King Mattress in a Box, Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress

• Save $313 on the MLILY Ego Gray 14 inch Queen Mattress in a Box, Gel Memory Foam Mattress Queen, Beds in a Box

Mattress-in-a-box still means big, heavy boxes, perfect for GoShare pickup and delivery.

How GoShare fits in:

• Buy in-store to inspect the TV, couch, or mattress.

• Use the GoShare app or website to book a local truck or van.

• A Delivery Professional can load, transport, and even help you get the item inside your home.

• GoShare also powers some white-labeled e-commerce deliveries for some of these retailers in select markets, so you may already be using GoShare without realizing it.

Lowe’s: Home Gyms, Appliances & Outdoor / Patio Upgrades

Lowe’s has launched an early Black Friday sale with up to ~40–50% off across categories like appliances, tools, outdoor items, and patio furniture. Learn more at Lowes.com

Big & Bulky Gift Ideas at Lowe’s

1. Treadmills & Cardio Machines (Home Gym Gifts)
Lowe’s carries several full-size treadmills, excellent “wow” gifts for fitness-minded friends or family. Examples from their 2025 lineup:

• Save $300 on the NordicTrack 2025 Commercial 1750 & 2450 Foldable Treadmills – Full-featured iFit-enabled machines around the $1,999–$2,499 range, designed to fold and roll away for easier storage but still very heavy boxes. Lowe’s+2Lowe’s+2

• Save $100 on the ProForm 2025 Carbon Pro 2000 Foldable iFit-enabled Treadmill– Mid-range options with incline, folding frames and iFit integration, also in the $800–$1,600 range before discounts. Lowe’s+1

These are prime candidates for store-to-home delivery with GoShare – they’re too big for most cars and awkward for a single person to move.

2. Outdoor / Patio Furniture 
Black Friday coverage shows Lowe’s offering:

• Save $439 on XIZZI Sunrise Rattan Outdoor Sectional with Blue Cushions and Steel Frame

• Save $800 on Xspracer, 8 -Piece Wicker Patio Sofa Conversation Set with White Cushions

Patio sets, sectionals, fire pits, and large grills are classic big & bulky items that pair perfectly with a GoShare delivery from your local store.

3. Grills
Lowe’s early Black Friday event includes:

• Save $430 on COWSAR Stainless steel 4 -Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill 1 -Side Burner

• Save $360 on COWSAR Stainless steel and Black 3 -Burner Liquid Propane Gas Grill 1 -Side Burner

• Book a GoShare truck or cargo van for same-day or scheduled delivery.

• For some markets, GoShare also supports white-labeled ecommerce deliveries for Lowe’s, meaning the items you order online may be delivered by GoShare professionals behind the scenes.

World Market: Stylish Furniture, Dining Sets & Storage Pieces

World Market is a great source for unique, globally inspired furniture and décor, and this year’s Black Friday event is especially appealing for big pieces.

Black Friday furniture deal roundups highlight World Market offering up to 50% off during the Black Friday period. Their own Black Friday page promotes exclusive sales on home décor and furniture, with free shipping thresholds and in-store pickup for many items. World Market+1

Big & Bulky Gift Ideas at World Market

World Market Rewards members can stack savings with extra perks like 3X points and occasional coupons, making big-ticket purchases even more attractive.

How GoShare fits in:

• Many of these items are available for buy-online, pick-up in-store. You can purchase online, pick a store, then schedule GoShare to handle the heavy lifting from curb to living room, dining room, or bedroom.

HomeGoods: Treasure-Hunt Furniture, Storage & Accent Pieces

HomeGoods operates a bit differently: rather than big advertised doorbusters, they emphasize everyday low prices, typically 20–50% less than department and specialty store prices on comparable home goods. HomeGoods

For 2025, reporting indicates that HomeGoods is not running a special Black Friday sale (no separate doorbusters or storewide extra discounts) – this is consistent with previous years. However, they do participate in the Black Friday weekend with extended hours: recent coverage notes that TJX brands including HomeGoods are closed on Thanksgiving and open at 7 a.m. on Black Friday.

Big & Bulky Gift Ideas at HomeGoods

Because inventory is ever-changing, you won’t see a standard online Black Friday ad – but in-store you can often find:

• Accent chairs and occasional chairs – Great “wow” gifts that instantly change a living room or bedroom.

• Storage benches & ottomans – Perfect for entryways or the foot of a bed.

• Small sofas and loveseats – Especially for apartments or home offices.

• Large mirrors and wall art – Surprisingly heavy and fragile, good candidates for professional delivery.

How GoShare fits in:

• HomeGoods is ideal for spontaneous finds. If you spot the perfect accent chair, oversized mirror, or console table but don’t have the right vehicle, you can open the GoShare app on the spot and get same-day or scheduled delivery from the store to your home. Schedule your HomeGoods delivery here.

Homesense: Furniture-First Holiday Treasures

Homesense (part of the TJX family, like HomeGoods) focuses even more heavily on furniture, rugs, lighting, and wall art, with a similar treasure-hunt shopping experience. Homesense

Marketing from Homesense emphasizes that shoppers get “ultimate deals every day,” instead of one-off Black Friday sales – the idea is that you’ll find big, high-quality pieces at strong discounts year-round, not only on one weekend.

Big & Bulky Gift Ideas at Homesense

• Dining tables & sideboards – Great for entertaining upgrades before holiday parties.

• Large rugs – 8×10 and larger rugs are awkward to transport, even when rolled.

• Statement lighting – Oversized floor lamps and chandeliers that need careful handling.

• Bookshelves & cabinets – Often solid and heavy, better handled by pros.

How GoShare fits in:

• Homesense is all about big physical pieces you pick in person.

• When you find “the one” (that dining table, that giant rug, that oversized piece of art), GoShare can send a truck or cargo van with a Delivery Professional to bring it safely home.

Costco: Warehouse-Scale Deals on TVs, Furniture & More

If you’re a Costco member (or thinking about becoming one), Costco is a holiday treasure trove,  especially for big & bulky gifts like TVs, sectionals, mattresses, and furniture. It pairs nicely with GoShare delivery for easy drop-off at home.

What’s on Sale at Costco This Holiday Season

• Costco’s 2025 Black Friday sale runs approximately Nov 17 – Dec 1, with multiple “waves” of deals, including online-only Thanksgiving (Nov 27) and Cyber Monday (Dec 1) offers.

• Their “Furniture & Mattress” deals often include savings of hundreds to up to ~$1,000 off big-ticket items such as sofas, recliners, sectionals, and beds.

• On the electronics side: Costco’s TV offerings for Black Friday 2025 are substantial, 4K UHD TVs, large-screen smart TVs (65″, 75″, even 85″+), from top brands, all at deeply discounted “warehouse-club” prices.

Examples of great big-bulky gift picks from Costco:

• Smart 65″–75″+ 4K / UHD / OLED TVs, perfect for upgrading a home theater or living room, often heavily discounted in Black Friday / Holiday season.

• Sofas, Sectionals & Power Recliners, furniture deals include full living-room furniture pieces at lower prices than typical retailers.

• Mattresses, Beds & Bedroom Furniture,  savings on beds, mattresses, sometimes bundled sets, making this a good time to upgrade for holiday guests.

Also worth noting: Costco runs “Treasure Hunt,” style sales in its warehouse aisles, where occasional big-ticket items (furniture, decor, oversized chairs/sofas) show up unadvertised,  meaning you can get lucky if you visit in person.

How GoShare Complements Costco Shopping

Because many of Costco’s biggest holiday deals are in-warehouse (or large-item online orders), this is a great use-case for GoShare:

• 🍎 In-store pickup + same-day delivery — After buying a bulky TV, sofa, or mattress at Costco (or ordering online for warehouse pickup), you can use GoShare to book a truck, cargo van or delivery vehicle to bring it home.

• 🛋️ Avoid vehicle limitations — With large furniture or 65″+ TVs, many people don’t have the right car,  GoShare provides the right vehicle and handles loading/unloading.

• 🏡 Convenient delivery scheduling — Choose same-day or scheduled delivery, so your bulky gifts arrive exactly when and where you want, ideal for holiday gift prep. Schedule your Costco delivery here.

How to Use GoShare for Big & Bulky Holiday Shopping

No matter which retailer you’re shopping – HomeGoods, Homesense, Lowe’s, Walmart or World Market – the playbook is the same:

1. Shop in-store for the big stuff

   • Test the mattress firmness, see the TV picture quality, or measure that sectional.

2. At checkout, book GoShare

   • Use the GoShare app or website.

   • Choose the vehicle type: pickup, cargo van, box truck or SUV, depending on the item.

   • Pick your preferred time – often same day or within a short window.

3. Track & receive your delivery

   • Watch your Delivery Professional approaching in real time.

   • Get help loading and unloading; many Pros can help carry items inside (subject to the options you choose at booking).

4. Enjoy your new upgrade before the holidays

   • Big-screen TV for the big game.

   • New mattress before holiday guests arrive.

   • Treadmill and exercise gear ready for New Year’s resolutions.

   • Fresh furniture for hosting family and friends.

Final Tips for Big & Bulky Holiday Deals

• Shop early: Many retailers now start Black Friday pricing days or weeks before November 28, 2025. Popular TVs, mattresses and treadmills can sell out quickly.

• Check in-store inventory online: Use “Pick Up In Store” filters to make sure the item is actually at your local location before you head out.

• Stack memberships & rewards: Programs like World Market Rewards, Walmart+, Lowe’s Credit Card promos, and TJX Rewards can increase your effective discount via cashback, points or special offers.

• Plan delivery at the same time you buy: The bigger the box, the more you’ll appreciate having GoShare already scheduled.

This holiday season, think big & bulky – and let GoShare handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on enjoying the gifts, not hauling them.

Summary: Side Hustles & Estimated Earnings

Final Thoughts

You can see there’s a significant jump in earning potential when you move from simple gig-jobs into owning/managing a delivery business. Owning the asset adds complexity (insurance, maintenance, scheduling, logistics) but also opens up far greater upside.

If you’re evaluating side hustles, consider:

• Time vs. earnings: Higher hourly rates often come with more responsibilities or higher startup cost.

• Asset ownership: The type/size of vehicle you own changes the equation (expenses, risk, control).

• Scalability: Some gigs (e.g., box truck owner-operator) can scale into a full business rather than just a side hustle.

• Match your lifestyle: Flexibility vs. commitment matters,  some side hustles require being on-call or delivering large items physically.

If you own a car, suv, pickup truck, cargo van or box truck and you’re interested in a side hustle or starting your own business, you can learn more and sign up for GoShare at goshare.co/drivers.

From automated warehouses to AI-powered delivery solutions, these innovations are reshaping how goods move from suppliers to stores and to customers’ homes. Here’s how retailers, and technology companies like GoShare, are putting intelligent systems to work.

Why Retailers Are Accelerating AI Adoption

Today’s shoppers expect:

✅ Seamless buying experience across online & in-store
✅ Multiple delivery options (same-day, next-day, curbside pickup)
✅ Real-time updates and visibility
✅ Eco-friendly and cost-efficient service

Retailers are investing in AI because it solves their biggest logistics challenges: speed, efficiency, and predictability.

According to industry reports, over 80% of retail leaders plan to increase AI-driven investments in logistics over the next 12 months. From forecasting to final mile delivery, automation is now core to retail growth strategies.

Key AI Innovations Transforming Retail Logistics

1. AI-Powered Demand Forecasting

AI analyzes purchasing trends, seasonality, promotions, and market behavior to predict inventory needs with precision, reducing:

• Stockouts & overstocks

• Rush shipping costs

• Waste and lost sales

Retailers using advanced demand forecasting see 15–30% lower inventory costs on average.

2. Automated Warehousing & Fulfillment

Robotics and AI-driven picking systems accelerate order handling and improve accuracy. Automated fulfillment centers can now process and ship orders in a fraction of the time of manual warehouses.

Technologies include:

• Autonomous robots for picking & packing

• Automated storage & retrieval systems (ASRS)

• Smart conveyor routing

• Robotic palletizers and sorters

3. Smart Pricing and Driver Matching for Last-Mile Delivery

Last-mile delivery represents 40–50% of total logistics costs. AI solves this by:

• Predicting how long each delivery will take

• Optimizing driver matching to find the right driver with the right equipment

• Automating price negotiations with drivers

• Improving on-time performance

This directly enhances customer satisfaction and sustainability.

4. Intelligent Fraud Prevention

AI detects patterns that humans may miss, flagging high-risk activity instantly. For retail delivery ecosystems, this includes:

• Driver identity verification

• Secure delivery workflows

• Real-time activity monitoring

• Geofencing & proof-of-delivery technology

• Credit card fraud

5. Automated Customer Communication

Chatbots and AI assistants streamline support by handling:

🚀 A Mission With Real-World Impact

We aren’t building a theoretical product or betting on a hypothetical future. Every day, GoShare helps thousands of independent delivery professionals earn income, supports local businesses, and keeps supply chains moving for some of the biggest brands in the world. Our people stay because they see the impact of their work, on drivers, small businesses and nationwide retailers.

🧠 Empowerment & Ownership

At GoShare, employees are trusted with ownership, not micromanaged tasks. We hire smart people and empower them:

• To lead

• To innovate

• To solve problems that matter

That level of trust creates loyalty. When people feel like builders, not replaceable cogs, they invest themselves and stay invested. To solidify this, we offer employees at all level stock options.

🌎 Remote-First Flexibility & Trust

Long before distributed work became mainstream, GoShare believed in flexibility, autonomy, and work-life harmony. Our remote culture isn’t a perk, it’s a philosophy:

• Trust over supervision

• Output over hours

• Flexibility over rigidity

This freedom enables people to thrive in their careers and personal lives, without compromise.

💙 Culture Built on Respect & Humanity

Culture doesn’t live in slogans, it lives in day-to-day behavior. We treat teammates as humans first. We celebrate wins, support one another, and value collaboration and kindness. And our team feels it. When we asked GoShare employees to describe the company in three words, here’s what they said:

“Inclusive, collaborative, reliable”
“Supportive, flexible, respectful”
“Open, welcoming, positive”
“Feels like home”
“Diverse, efficient, reliable”
“Committed, family, strong”
“Positive, inclusive, awesome”
“Fun, challenging, collaborative”

Not every response was perfect, some referenced opportunities to improve communication or break down silos. That honesty matters. It shows people feel safe giving feedback because they believe in where we’re going. Even when we hear words like:

“isolated between departments”
“unclear, confusing”

We see it as trust, trust that we’re building together, improving together, growing together. That’s real culture, not curated messaging.

📈 Stability & Vision Over Flash-In-The-Pan Hype

GoShare isn’t chasing trends or short-term vanity metrics. We’re building something durable, a business with fundamentals, real revenue, and long-term value. That stability breeds confidence and commitment. People don’t join to “ride it out for two years.” They build careers here.

🎓 Growth & Evolution

When GoShare grows, our people grow with us. Engineers become tech leaders. Marketing talent becomes strategic operators. Team members learn, advance, and shape the company, not just work inside it. A startup where careers compound instead of churn out. For example, our SVP of Engineering, Francisco and our Director of Marketing, Travis, both started as interns while studying at San Diego State University in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

The Bottom Line

Most startups struggle to retain talent. GoShare does the opposite, because we prioritize people and purpose, not just speed and scale.

Our team stays longer because they:

✅ Believe in what we’re building
✅ Feel valued, trusted, and empowered
✅ Have work-life flexibility and autonomy
✅ Feel a sense of belonging and impact
✅ Grow in their roles and careers
✅ See a long-term future, not a short-term sprint

People don’t stay where they must, they stay where they’re valued. At GoShare, we’re proud that our longevity isn’t luck, it’s culture. Learn more about working with GoShare on our careers page.

Not all local delivery services are created equal. Whether you’re moving items across town, restocking inventory, or fulfilling customer orders, the key is finding a provider that balances reliability and affordability. The right partner will save you time, stress, and money, while ensuring your goods arrive safely and on schedule.

🧾 Checklist for Evaluating Local Delivery Services

🌟 Customer Reviews & Satisfaction
Start by reading verified reviews on platforms like Google, iPhone App Store, Better Business Bureau. Consistent positive feedback about punctuality, professionalism, and communication is a strong indicator of reliability.
