iPad Pro iPad Pro big discount at Costco Online

Well, just got off the phone with BB trying to PM.

Firstly, they do price match with warehouse clubs ( Costco, Sams etc.. ) But, BB declined the PM due to it being a 'member only' item, and placed it under ' special promotions ' category.

I could've argued that since BB has ' warehouse clubs ' listed under it's PM guarantee..they know it's a 'fee or membership' based club.

Oh well, will try PM'ing at the store tomorrow.

To the OP, great catch and post indeed!!! Thank you!

Great ideal. I'm going to call BB tomorrow to see if I can price match just in case this is an error.

I don't think being a member only item should matter because isn't all their items member only? I don't think you can purchase anything from Costco without a membership. The only difference with this purchase was you just had to login to see the price.
 
Every time I've looked at iPads at Costco or on its website they've been wifi only. Not saying they only sell wifi versions but cellular versions must be rare.

Yea, I agree but it was pointless reasoning with a rep over the phone. I figure the odds might be better at a B&M store.

I think it's all WiFi models.

Every single model on their site (of the 10.5" ones) has exactly the same bullet points.
There's simply no way they are selling only cellular models.

This will likely just end up being a return to warehouse of Wifi models sadly.

I think BeatCrazy got it right. I think online they are all wifi only. Some stores/markets seem to have the cellular models in warehouse and if I recall correctly from my purchase it was only available in space gray.
 
If you zoom in to the pic, it says ' LTE ' hmm.. I'm pretty sure these are all WiFi only but ..could luck out!
 
The pics are definitely the LTE model. Last night the description also clearly stated LTE and mentioned the included Apple SIM. This morning those two bullet points are gone.

Wishing I had printed a copy last night to take to BB for price matching. ;)

Too good to be true. Costco still has some nice perks even if it's just wifi only. $30 off, 90 day return, and extra cc points if you pay with their Visa card

I wonder if I'm going to receive the wifi version or will they call me to explain before shipping.

I have a feeling the WiFi one will show up. I'd feel differently if they actually ever commit to one version or another on the order confirmation or receipt, etc.

Bummer
[doublepost=1497368309][/doublepost]FYI - Just spent 20 mins on the phone with them and got all the way to the buying rep team.

It was a typo and they don't even have any cellular 10.5"s at this time, so anything that comes will absolutely be a WiFi only model.

You can still cancel before it ships and save the hassle of receive/return to warehouse, etc.

Thanks, I'll keep the order. I wanted to try both 10.5 and 12.9 at home anyway.

Thanks for calling them. So, you really believe (and they do too?) that there's zero chance of an LTE model showing up via my order?

I talked to a rep who knows exactly what they procured and she said they have no Cellular iPad 10.5's

Believe me, I was motivated - I jumped on this last night also (and cancelled today)
