Good call, Costco's a legit buying option with good service, good returns, and we are members. It's a $21 savings over my pre-order at Amazon, the only minor difference is having to wait another 10 days vs Amazon or Apple store (the site says "Pre-order now for an expected ship date week of 4/8/19"). At this point, not a big deal, I'm gonna stick with my order as I'm eager to get the tablet.

ETA: Called Amazon about the price match, and they definitely no longer do it, so I expected that. But they threw in free 1-day shipping, and pointed out that apples-to-apples (see what I did there?), the Costco store would be charging an extra $5 to ship the mini to me, which I would use in this case as the store is a long ways out of our way. So the *real* price difference after factoring in free 1-day shipping is $9. I'm happy to pay that to get the new Mini 10 days sooner. Amazon service is awesome. :-)
