Anyone receive their iPad from this deal yet?
Nope. I contacted Walmart and so far gotten the run around. I am now told they are on backorder, but will be shipped in time to meet my initial estimate, June 26. We shall see. The webpage indicates they have stock.

For those that might miss this Wal-Mart deal, keep in mind that B&H Photo does not charge sales tax unless you live in NY or NJ. You can save the same amount of money or more.
That's why I go over the bridge to Delaware to avoid NJ sales tax and go to the Apple store in Newark DE. Besides, I got $15 off the 10.5" 256 GB and $10 off Apple Care as I'm a photographer for the American Cancer Society.

Got mine on Friday. Way earlier than the original estimate. 64 GB white/silver. I was leaning towards getting a 256 space gray, but it was sold out when I placed my order.
 
Costco has the 256GB wifi in space gray for $719 at the stores. Bought mine today from there. Not much of a discount but better than nothing, plus you get the Costco benefits. Wanted to buy at Best Buy but the stores around me don't carry the 256.

just keep in mind its part of the shorter 90 day policy. I personally haven't returned anything that falls under this umbrella just yet so can't share my experience with these.

I didn't mean just their return policy, although 90 days on electronics is still plenty generous. Other benefits from Costco include their "concierge" 2yrs service, and double dip on the rewards program if you're both an executive member and has Costcos Citi Visa card.

If you're referring to their other return policy, no I don't have the thick skin to return an old mattress or a grease covered old BBQ grill, or a 2yr old iPad for that matter.

Was at my local store yesterday, no 10.5 Pros whatsoever. I will keep my eye on them getting some in.
 
Did you ever receive your iPad from Walmart? I haven't, been going around and around with customer support.
Nothing yet. Customer support was no help. They charged my card on Friday though but no update on the order.

My CC has been reauthorized twice, but nothing either. I am corresponding with tier 2 support who has reached out to the fulfillment team, but nothing yet. I would give up, but between the discounted price and associate discount, its cheaper than B&H.

Just an FYI that Costco 2 year warranty doesn't include tablets, so it's just the normal warranty. I got my 10.5"'from Costco too, just figured I'd let you know.
 
I don't think its excluded from the visa side of the extended warranty...someone correct me if i'm wrong about that.

Honestly haven't looked into it, as I just got my Costco membership and citi card, so i wasn't even sure what the card benefits like warranty and protection were.

It's not. The clarification provided was for the mention of the benefit of Costco's concierge 2 yr warranty, which does exclude tablets.
