Will Costco have Razr Maxx on 1-26?
- Thread starter lapeter
- Start date
Yeah. If not I might have to switch from my Razr to something else to renew the 30 day policy. I'm thinking either an HTC Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. Which I'm hoping I don't need to do because I already love the Razr.

I visited my Costco today in Chicago. I was told they doubt if they will ever get it in store as "the only real difference is a slightly bigger battery. They don't even know if the bigger battery will do much (aka push what you stock)." By the way young man- where does it say "STOOOOPID" on my forehead? 
They did say to check in a few weeks and MAYBE the can get it "special order" via their "extended cataloge (sp?)" whatever that is. (?)

that means they'll order it for you and it has to be shipped to your home. like in my costco they don't have rezound stocked so if i wanted that they'd have to order it and ship it to me. that should be find.
Just talked to a higher up at Costco. He told me he just found out this morning that Costco will NOT be getting in the Droid Razr Maxx.

......or maybe they are getting tired of all of those who purchase and return phones to get the next best thing???
Just saying.......
So what's the chance of Costco getting the Droid Razr Maxx right now if some Costcos might not get the Maxx?

Another good point. Honestly, I think it is the amount of space their little kiosks have. They are limited in display space and storage.
Well at the Costco I got my regular Razr from they keep the phones in the same storeroom where they put Xboxes and TVs and any extra phones are just left on the table of the Kiosk. Then again it could be different for different Costcos. But seriously someone on the last page said that their Costco wouldn't be carrying the Razr Maxx. If that's true for their Costco would it be true for my Costco? Because at my Costco the Salespeople at the Kiosk said that it might come in a month.
I was told that Motorola will not discount the Maxx to Costco so they will not get it any time soon. As far as I know this is company wide.
Anytime soon? If that's the case should I just hold out and keep exchanging phones until the Maxx is out or should I just return my current phone and get a Razr Maxx from the VZW store? I could afford the difference because I had some money saved up and because I got my current Razr for 200 USD but my Dad wants me to get the Maxx from Costco because of Costco's generous deals.

Stopped by my local (Chicago) Costco again to ask about the Maxx. THIS time I got another "story". 
I was told that IF they get it, it won't be for 30-60 days as the Verizon corporate stores have an "exclusive" on them. So how is it TargetMobile has them?!?! Then I was told that "since they tested the Maxx battery on 3G it's probably not much better that the Razr".
(Again sell what's in stock)
To add insult to injury, as I checked out the GS2 from the AT&T display-the girl tells me "that's the same phone as the GN on Verizon". I don't know, maybe because so few of their customers speak English they can tell people anything. I work retail and I can attest to that in this city anyway.
Bottom line, I like dealing with Costco so maybe I'll ask again in a few weeks and then give up.

Yeah my dad went to Costco today, he said the salespeople said that it might be in Costco by the end of this month. This is for Fremont, CA so I'm not sure about other Costcos. I should mention that the California Bay Area is a hub for cargo ships carrying Chinese manufactured items.

I seriously doubt that Costco determines the types of cell phones it carries based off of having a store near ports.
The ports in LA, LB, and SD are also hubs for cargo ships carrying Chinese manufactured items.
I asked at my Costco today. They said they didn't have it and they probably won't get it. Also stopped at Fry's and Radio Shack, and neither of them had it either.
