B&R Baseline at Costco

At the Fremont (California) Costco today, they had the 20" expandable widebody (U420XW) in chocolate, for $189. The list price on the bag is (I think) $399.

Had it at the Jacksonville FL location as well. I wish they would carry it in the bigger size!

I have one of these - it's a great bag, and that's an incredible price.

Note, however, the thread in the AA forum on rigorous size checks. The linear dimensions of this bag are fine (44" total l+w+d), but the 16" width exceeds the 14" sizer limit.

Awesome deal. I paid $200 more for mine and I'm not upset at all. Love the bag.

Wow, I need to call around to all of my local Costco stores tomorrow. I wonder if they can transfer an item between locations.

Edit: does anyone know the Costco SKU or item number so it will be easier for the store to find inventory.

Thanks, picked up one at the Fremont store. They still had about 30 left.

Not sure if I plan to keep it, but Costco's return policy makes it easy to buy now and think about it later.

No go at my Costco in Grand Rapids, MI. Just the usual collection of kirkland, samsonite, ricardo, and tumi tech bags.

South Florida found! Pembroke Pines, North Miami and Davie all have 30+ allocations. Nothing was shipped to Pompano, Boca or Lantana.

Did not see any at Costco in St Louis, MO... Not that I'm surprised. I'll check in ATL next week.
