iPod touch iPod touch at Costco

Around here they are priced the Sam or a few cents from one another at Sam's Club or Costco. Last I looked neither in my area Lakeland FL had the 32GB Touch. BUt thats neither here not there, the best deal it at the refurb store. You cant beat 229 and 329 with 1 yr. warranties.

I was going to get a 16GB, but i'm just gonna wait. I don't really need one and hopefully prices will go down again.

You need to read the new signs. They went in early last year, or was it 2006? 90 return policy on ALL electronics, now. Also clearly reprinted on your receipt if you buy something like an iPod.

One of the nearby Costcos has all 3 Touch sizes as of about 2 weeks ago, maybe the others by now, too. Haven't been in all of them in the last 2 weeks. I saw $490 for the 32GB.

2nd gen 32GB for $258

my dad called me up last week and told me that Costco had a displayed 2nd generation ipod touch that was still in the plastic case. They sold the 32GB ipod touch for $258! That's a stinking steal!!!!:eek:


Plus, they have a 90 day return policy...which is great because it's rumored that the new ipod touch will come out in June. So if they want to return it for the new one they can. :D

I thought Costco had a unlimited return period except on certain items (PCs - 6 months? TVs - 1 year?). Unless iPods are on the restricted list, you should be able to take them back anytime.

I myself have a 4GB iPod Nano I got last fall from Costco (not sure what gen it is.. the model is A1236 and it has a screen for watching vids).

I work at costco, and have now for 13 years. within the last 2 or 3 years costcos return policy has changed only for major electronic sales, including but not just exclusive to all items such as tv's, stereos, computers, and ipods.

The return policy is 90 days, without question. after the 90 days, and from the date of purchase, costco has a concierge service that will help with technical support, manufacturers warranties, and replacement parts and or labor, which may have additional charges.

The reason for the change is that many consumers have taken advantage of costco's return policy for years, and the company only makes a small percentage profit on most items as it is. Many people were bringing items back after several years when the items quit working, and/or bringing items back getting a full refund and then buying updated versions (ex:computers) for much less money. Costco's return policy is still very competetive, and although it is not a "forever guarantee" it is much better than most retailers.

Also if the costco american express card or any Amex card is used to purchase any major electronic it will extend the manufacturers warranty by one year, but must be made in full on the card. Most items already have a one year, but costco's new policy warranties it through the company for two and extends it another year with the amex.:D

Hope this helps.:)
 
I guess prices are different depending on what part of Canada your from. I'm from Alberta & in Costco the prices here on the touches are>>>> 16 GB=$199.00, 32 GB=$299.00 & 64 GB=$399.00(we also only have 5% tax). My hubby bought me the 64 GB for Christmas in Best Buy & he paid $399.00 there.

I was in Costco the other day and the 16GB Touch was $369.99 (in canada) ($419.00 at the apple store here). Is this a good price, is costco a recommended place to buy apple products? Does anyone know if it has the January software update?
Thanks!

Just run over to Apple here in the US and buy a 64gb for that much! I'd rather have a 32gb/64gb though. Gotta think towards the future. :D :apple:

For something recent to this ,
iPod touch 32 gb has gone down in price at walmart. I had bought my iPod touch 32 on 2/23 last month and it was 279 at a authorized reseller out of new York instead of the 299 at walmart. I looked at walmarts site today and it is 261.54 for the 32. Kinda similar situation when I got my first iPod, the 1st gen nano with photo, got it in may/June, during that summer, the 2gb had come along @ a good deal but I had already bought the nano lol. To any future reader reading this, basic apple economics here
price drops before upgrades, usually near spring/summer

So - I finallyhave the iPod touch 32gb.
charged it fine. How do I get to the applications?
Yes, I am that stupid.
I'm sure I'm not the only one. Just take it easy on me, I'm old.
Need some quick advice on how to get to applications.
It was a gift and I don't have a booklet or anything to read.
