I visited my local Costco in North Jersey and they told me to try back after 12pm.

Went to the store in Norwalk at the opening, there were about 4 guys in line all there for the Bionic, was told none in stock and wont be untill September 13th. He did confirm the price and the bundle though.
Breaking news, direct from costco, via text to me:
"Costco has just informed me that the phone will not be in stores until september 13th. It may come in sooner but that is all the information I have at this time"
Strange, since earlier he said they expected the delivery in around 12 - 12:30. This is for the Costco in Mt Laurel, NJ.

OMGosh! I hope you guys get the dang phones today!! I had a hell of a morning between the driving rain, horrendous traffic and road closures and detours... my commute, which normally takes an hour, took THREE HOURS. And then I drove to the Nanuet, NY Costco, only to realize that I didn't have my wallet (meaning no Costco card and no $ to pay for a phone). DUH. So I'm at the office and will call or head back at lunch time! Thanks to everyone reporting on the status. Or, should I say, non-status? LOL!
Good luck!!!

Same here, but I'm waiting for the Parker Colorado store to open... hope I didn't take time off work for no reason!
Hackensack, NJ Costco had 6 which sold out within minutes of the store opening. The guy at the kiosk was activating a couple at a time while fielding calls telling people they were sold out.
Cost was $299 - $20 instant rebate = $279 + tax
Bundle included:
- Extra battery 1735 mAh
- Travel Charger
- Case w/belt clip
- Car mount
- Desk Docking Station (charges only, no HDMI nor USB out, but has a strange headphone out that is marked with a wifi logo?)
- Extra battery charging dock
- Car charger
- Screen protector

They put me down on a waiting list. I will have to wait for the next shipment.I got to Costco in Danvers, MA at 9:40. It was pouring rain. Cars started piling up in the parking lot, so I took my umbrella and stood at the door. I was the first one at the kiosk (3 more arrived almost immediately) and got #1 of 6. They just came in this AM by UPS. I took a while to get it activated because of low signal strength in the store. Went to the entrance and the signal jumped up.
The bundle is as expected.
All 6 were gone before 11AM They're expecting 6 more "this week" and another 13 next week.
It's in the charging cradle now. Time to reread the manual.

Tons of rain here in the Northeast today. Tried to make it into work, but it was so flooded. My boss rang my cell and I told her what was up. She said to get home and work from there.
Made a stop at a Costco near where I live. No one at the booth. Waited probably five minutes. I should note that the phone at the booth was ringing non stop.
Anyway, I asked him about the Bionic. He said they did not have any. He also stated that about eight people had already called today and he took there names.
He said to call back tonight to see if they came in. At this point, not sure I want to wait around for a phone to come in. However, will be nice to see reviews and such first. Might just pass on the Bionic. Too many roadblocks preventing me from even seeing the device.
Or was that just from the flooding?
