Calling all Costco members!

[bairdyboy1980]

Do Costco stock all the latest TVs? Looking for a 6/7/8 series Samsung 3D/LED TV.... If you look at their website it only lists a few TVs. On closer inspection, costco.co.uk does reflect whats actually in the store.

I don't have a card and don't want to and pay £30 if they don't stock the latest model of TVs...

 

[SDMDAM]

I have not been in for a few months but Costco usually stocks the latest TVs. I got my Panasonic Plasma there a couple of years ago when the model was first launched. Do you have a friend who could take you?

 

[ODB_69]

Ring your local store. Ask them if they have the model you want in stock if they don't ask them if they are getting it in

The last time I went into one they had a 100" Sharp for just over £3K. Would that do ya?

 

[Chrisfxz]

Costco glasgow certainly had plenty of sammys in but I didn't look in much detail at models. This was yesterday

 

[bairdyboy1980]

Yeh going to give the store a ring tomorrow but just incase some of you kind fellows knew

I have someone from work that has a card but its a hassle organising going at the same time lol

I reckon i could get a card but i just would go enough. Suppose it depends on the deal i get on the TV. Got a £900-£1k budget.

So if i turn up to costco myself, i cant just go in and browse?

 

[rousetafarian]

I was in there today and I passed some Panasonic Viera models but I didn't check the series and a really nice 70" Tv, cannot remember the name. Browsing isn't allowed as they often check membership before you enter....

 

[rousetafarian]

Don't forget cash/debit or Amex only and the card holder must pay.....saw a very nice Breitling Avenger in Heydock this morning.

 

[bairdyboy1980]

I was hoping i could go in and see if its got the model i want... if they do at the right price i go get a membership.

Hmmmmm! Difficult as i cant get a same time that my mate from work can go the same as me lol

 

[bairdyboy1980]

Yeh i would be paying by cash

 

[rousetafarian]

I guess stock quantities vary from store to store, which particular model are you after?

 

[bairdyboy1980]

Sammy UE46ES6900 is the one i have my eye on

Its £950 in john lewis. If its cheaper in costco i would get it in there. Really want the 5 year warranty hence just looking at both these options...

 

[Greg Hook]

You can't just go in, pay your dues and get a membership. I'd look at their website first to see exactly what they need from you.

Yep i know

I looked on the website but could only find details on the membership levels (trade and individual etc). Going to give them a phone in the morning

£66.00/annum for our membership gives us 2% cash back per annum and although I was initially cynical I really like shopping there. Even if you cannot get the Tv you want the steaks are awesome!

They definitely have some bargains - albeit you sometimes have to buy several of whatever it might be.

A few examples of things I buy regularly:

Pepsi Max - 300ml cans - 24 for under a fiver
Bottled water - 500ml bottles - 35 for under £3
Also Manuka Honey - they do for about 1/2 price you'll pay in Tesco.

And as roustafarian says, some of their meat is great quality and value.

Definitely worth checking out.

Can you not go in on a visitor pass for a look round.

If your a none member you can bu stuff but at an extra 10% on top.

For warranty to be valid you need to be a Costco member.

I didn't think u could get a visitors pass on ur own?

So for the 5 year warranty I would need to pay £20 each year for 5 years? John Lewis is sounding more appealing lol

 

[shopper150]

Can anyone confirm the terms of Costco TV warranties? I bought two TVs about 3 years ago. They came with 5 year warranties. One of them is now faulty, but my membership had lapsed.
Will they honour the warranty?

Unfortunately the business I registered the original membership under has been liquidated, so I cannot rejoin under the same Ltd company name.

Can anyone advise how to deal with the situation?

Hi,

the terms & conditions aren't stated online but I can't see their being any issue because of you no longer being a member.

Here is what the website tells you to do:

For warranty service contact Costco Concierge Services on 0800 0324 324, have the following ready

Name
Costco Membership No
Order confirmation/Item No
Item description & Model No
Serial No
Purchase Date

Hope you get your problem sorted.
