Alternatively, consider renting a zipvan for the trip. They're pretty easy to drive.

I think the delivery from the CP store is a flat $70 for same-day delivery. Well worth it if you need more than one thing or can share the charge with a neighbor/friend who also needs something...

Yes, sales tax and delivery. Delivery is cheaper if you buy it from the store than online, so the cost might be lower from the store anyway.

Would like to buy a loveseat from Ikea. I live in DC, the closet Ikea is in college park, MD. If I go to the store to pick up the loveseat and arrange for home delivery, do I need to pay for sales tax and the delivery cost? Alternatively I can order online, which I only need to pay for delivery cost. Which way is better?
