Back to January this year, when I went to a Costco warehouse to check the bag I wanted to purchase, I found that only one floor model left. They helped me located another warehouse with a few pieces in stock, then I made a phone call to that warehouse to ask for a physical check. I was told that they did have one in unopened box and would hold it for me until next day (I did provide a 2 hour time window that I would be there). All worked fine. Maybe it's really depend on who you talked to?
I'm sure some Costco employees would bend the rules. I thought for sure with my sob story of buying one and having it be the wrong item, they might for me, but no dice.
Either way, a very happy end. I headed up there today, they had 5 in-box and 2 floor models. Not only did I get one, but the one I purchased prior was at $189.99. They now seem to be on clearance for $129.97, so I got to save $60 for the hassles. If anyone needs one, now is a good time to buy before they are all out, still some left in Gaithersburg, MD. And check those boxes!
