Any ideas on the TV's? Is the Philips currently in stock?

I liked the 42 inch Vizio LCD that was there yesterday, but I thought it was too new to be on sale. Looks like I was right after all...

These are on sale all week, not just Black Friday, correct?

I think they are for the whole week.... can anyone verify?

From what I hear, Costco is the place to go if you want a break from BF shopping.
I will be in the Bridgewater, NJ area; does this sound true, or should i bring riot gear like BB?

It says on the ad coupon price. Is that the amount the coupon will get you off of the price of the item?

dmmiller
11-14-2006, 11:31 AM
Yes.. just like using any other coupon. The take that amount off when they ring it up.
So if its $1799 with a $399 coupon, you get 300 off that 1799.
Ending amount $1499 + tax

Mom04- I am glad we are able to get the inside scoop!

I was eyeing a TV, and then got cold feet when I missed a $300 coupon. Do you know what the current price is for the models listed on this website, and are there any good TV deals (LCD/Plasma) that are for this week or next?

Thanks for your time.

I hope you are right... I will be doing the BF/Staples gig, and will not be wanting to stand in line at Costco (unless the deals are amazing). They look good, but hopefully they are dead as you say.

By the way, when does Costco open on Friday for PS3? Do they open early?

Do you know what deals are on TV's this week? I live an hour away, so unfortunately, I can't pop in there.

We dont open early on fri...if its anything like last year with the xbox 360"s, once the line starts to form a mgr will go out and hand out tickets/numbers for the amount of units that we will have. Last year when I got to work ( at 4 am ) we already had 2 rv's parked by the front door, Im expecting the same or worse for the ps3's !!!! We dont have any "deals " this week, on tv's just the ones that I posted earlier that will have coupons the wknd of thanksgiving...

PS- If you know exacly what you want at Costco, I can always look it up on the computer and tell you just how many that the Coscto near you has ..If that helps

You would actually have to return the entire product with everything recieved at time of purchase, and then turn around and buy the t.v again with the coupon deal. Sorry but thats the only option that you would have !
Although some warehouse mgrs might sway a bit, thats hard to say. Next time your in the store, you should get the coupon flyer- at that time ask to speak to a mgr. I would simply ask how they handle an item bought recently that is now in the coupon flyer, see what they say.

Yeah, I went there last weekend, and i thought I was going to get trampled with all of the people there who were getting the samples. I think some people go there to eat lunch for free.

If you can get your parents to call that warehouse and ask them what their warehouse # is- I need that """Today """ . I will be able to check there quanity instock, I can get the measurements on the box tomorrow and post it in the afternoon...also..:D so many people take it out of the box in the parking lot..:yup:

Mom04,
Is there anyway you could tell me what my local warehouse has in terms of tv models?

I'm looking for a tv for xmas. I may go for a BF deal, amy decide not to, based on features, brand, price. But definitely want to buy form Costco....

The only real complaint I have about Costco is that their website does not list the warehouse stocked models, so its impossible to compare various models from b&m to online without geting in my car and driving an 1 1/2 hrs RT (drive time only!) to take notes. Can you help? Wilmington, NC costco.
THanks if you can help in anyway. I've called the warehouse several times about this, as well as hdqtrs in WA, and its not anything they will change soon. Sams club, tho i dont like as much, their website does indicate warehouse items.

Thanks again

Costco opens at 9 am, so you can hit other stores first or sleep in. That deal on the Vizio for $999 is awsome, but if you check out BestBuy's ad, they have a comparible deal on a Panasonic. The Vizio coupon is the only one valid on Friday only, the others are for the whole weekend. I am afraid they will sell out quick.

Mom04 thanks for replying! Ideally, I need a 37- 42 inch LCD tv availabilty list for my local costco, and quantities would be helpful. I can take it from there!:smart:

I know you cant post prices. But i reasearch model features and compare to online moel features. I wonder, if Costco sells out of the BF vizio friday, will they still honor the price when back in stock or will it be FCFS?

Thanks!!!:p

That Panasonic TV is nice.... it has a great picture, and keeps dropping in price- Tweeter has it for $1100.

I was going to get the Vizio, but I think the Panasonic at BB is a better TV so I try to do that instead, unfortunitly I'll have to camp out overnight to get it. If that doesn't work I may just end up getting the Vizio at Costco.

Only thing that you will get free at the door is the COOKING COSTCO WAY COOKBOOK - this is the same book that they have given away the past few years on Black Friday. I saw a pallet of them at my local costco this A.M.

Just remember that although BB might have a t.v comparible to Coscto...Costco's return policy ( should you have a problem ) is beyond any other stores !!!!

I am new to this website, hope this is the correct place for my question/comment. I went on Costco's website as it opened, the day they had the PlayStation 3 bundles. I clicked on the order button, and the item was added to my cart. Since I order at Costco, online, regularly, all of my information was already in my account, and I attempted to proceed to the check out. Due to the high number of people on the site, ( I am guessing) the check out option would not go thru. It took over two hours before I was able to reach the check out, and I then got a message 'We're sorry, but ther are no items available for this item and your quantity has been adjusted" I am curious if "shopping carts" online, are very reliable? I have never experienced a "weve taken your purchase back" message. ( I printed the screens for each of these.....parts of the transaction. Any suggestions on how to avoid this? Thanks, Diane
