I'm mixed between getting the iPad Pro 10.5 inch at different locations.
I have access to military stores and I've called and was told that they would have the iPad's available starting tomorrow. They'll probably be priced the same but with no tax I would be saving on that.
Otherwise since I plan to get the cellular I was looking at Verizon and noticed that they offer it subsidized which is 100 dollars off the retail price. I would just have to stay on the plan for 2 years which wouldn't bother me too much. Just would like to get some opinions or any alternatives.

Best Buy and Target are two of my go to Stores I frequently Purchase from. Mainly because they receive regular stock and they price match most items from other competitors.

Online purchasing from third party , I use B&H Photo.

It doesn't matter where you buy it. Whoever has the model you want at the lowest net cost is the way I go. If the PX is that free that is an effective $100 off or so. If you are OK being locked into to a VZW contract $100 off the cellular model is decent but only if you really need cellular data on a regular basis. Otherwise the iPad still has a few carriers with no contract terms - no discount either.

Last year the 9.7 Pro was $100-150 off at BestBuy about a month after launch. Already it's offering $25 off even before it shipped. Walmart was giving $50 on some models. So if you are looking to shave a bit off the price it might be worth waiting a few weeks for the early adopters to get their fill first. My own personal target it $800 out the door, no contract, for a 256GB cellular.
