Costco B&M - Palmer U Shaped Desk with Hutch $199.97 Clearance YMMV
 

This desk has been ~$400 at my Costco for the last year or so. Walked in today and found it marked down to $199.97 on clearance. Nicest desk I've seen for this price. I think Costco stores will vary on when they mark these down, but worth checking if you are looking for a nice, big desk...

Add $50 for a costco membership.

If possible, please put item/sku number of the item.

EDIT: Nevermind. Got it: 560311

My receipt shows 497393 as the SKU...

If the post title says Costco and you don't have a Costco membership , don't bother reading and save your $50. If you are a professional troll, make a comment like this.....

Trolling Slickdeals = Free
Befriending someone with an existing Costco membership = priceless

The reality is if you have an exec membership, a Costco Amex, and buy a lot of shi*, your membership pays for itself and then some. But whatever.....

You can cancel the membership and get the $50 back. :P

:lol:

I'm thinking of getting a Costco membership tomorrow...I wonder if I can find this deal locally.

Can anyone else confirm they got the same price?

Great deal. Could you share where you found this? Is it a chocolate brown color?

Sometimes I dont get the Costco hate. The prime grade beef alone is worth the price of membership.

Also, could you scan in a copy of your receipt?

This is $199.97 at Costco in Avon, MA. Looks to be about 4 left. It's a dark brown color. Not quite espresso but pretty dark.

I've attached a copy of the receipt. The desk is a chocolate brown. I wish it was a lighter brown like you see with most brown desks, but I can live with it for the price paid. Per comments on another deal site, this price is confirmed at other stores. Even if the tag shows it at $400, have them scan it at a register. You will probably find they just didn't update the tag with the new price. They can also check other stores if you have multiple Costcos in your area.

Still $399.99 at the avon, oh location. will check back another day, i like this desk. thx OP

Noobs don't know that you get the 50 back every year no matter what.

If you don't receive the 50 back in the from of their cashback, then you just go to customer service desk and ask for the difference LOL.

Costco I visited in Livermore, CA had it still priced at 399. AND the desk comes in 3 boxes... and they had two of each box1 and box2 but no box3's. lol

congrats to those who got the 199 price

My store had them for $199.97 yesterday. Price dropped to 99.00 today

Ha! I was there today around 2:45. Same result.

So is the sku 497393 or not?

What location?

Gosh, great deal! My store still has at $399.99. Is there any chance of Costco matching another Costco store?

Arvada, CO

Thats ridiculous! You didn't happen to take a picture of the pricing sign?

It was 497393 at my store yesterday.

Palmer U shaped Office Desk with Hutch for 199.00 at Costco B&M (YMMV)
 

I just picked up a Bestar Palmer Office desk (Item # 497393) with hutch from Costco for 199. This was 399 a week back and a similar unit sells for 619 at costco.com. I picked this from Springdale, Ohio store. You might want to check if this is available in your local store.

FWIW costco clearances are decided by the local store, probably not nation wide as I haven't even seen something like this in the NY costco that i frequent

Thanks . Looking for one. Where in the springdale store should I find one? or you bought the last one :)

Just check in the center furniture section. They have 6 left...

Why are the the two SKU numbers different?

Would anyone mind checking the two location near South Charlotte please. They wont let me know the price over the phone :(

Checked yesterday. None available in Michigan.

About to go to my store in Grafton, WI. I hope it's available, I'd love to get it.

Got one in Atlanta, Georgia (Brookhaven Location) a few days ago. Was back there today and there's still one left.

Great desk and can't beat the price. Very sturdy and looks great.

It seems you definitely need an adequate amount of space to accommodate this desk. If I had the space, I'd be in for one.

Anyone seen this table for $99 ?
Both Costco near my place has it for 199.99
Still wondering since this does not look like hard wood...

Someone said the one in Arvada, CO has it for 99.99
Will try to call tmr see if it is true and try to pricematch it with my store ..

Me and another person are on my account.

Last year we got a check back for $100.

There for it paid for itself.

So ya its worth it lol.

None available here!

Just picked one up in milford, ct for $199.97. Theres about 5 more available. I've been tracking this desk for over a year and the cheapest it's been is $369.99.

Any luck with the pricematch?

Thanks

I cant verify that they have it for that price. If only someone take a picture or so :mad:

Thanks so much for posting. Was able to get this in Orlando, FL for $199. I think it was the last one.

Thanks a bunch....picked two from Gwinett Costco, GA. Wanted only one for my hubby....beautiful, sturdy and nice desk...picked one more for kids....

That's only for the exec membership, which essentially makes the "upgrade" to exec free minus 1 yr interest from $50. You can't get CB from the regular membership.

I love my Costco membership but I don't think costco has partially good meat. I've been disappointed with most meat I purchased at costco.

Add $5 for gas.

Can you get a one day pass at CostCo? I know a lot of other places offer a pass.

not really, because MOST people reading this happen to have a Costco membership. the balance aren't smart enough to realize otherwise. which category are you?

well, you can easily get lower grade meat elsewhere. choice and prime may be something you don't appreciate.

Costco gift cards [ebay.com] can be used without membership. I admit, you do take a bit of risk buying gift cards on eBay, etc. But if you have a working gift card, no problems shopping at Costco [costco.com]:

You must be a Costco member to purchase or reload Costco Cash Cards. Members and non-members may use the cash cards to shop at any Costco locaton in the United States, Puerto Rico or on costco.com. Costco Cash balances may be used toward membership or merchandise.

(...and I just noticed the typo on Costco's page. I hope it's a typo, or I'd be embarrassed telling people to find a Costco locaton, or any locaton for that matter.)

I appreciate good quality meat but my grocery store carries better quality meat and during sales it is cheaper than costco. Costco doesn't have bad meat but imo it isn't any better in quality or price than I can get elsewhere. I find the food prices at costco aren't generally as good as my grocery store's sale price, but I have the time to shop sales and the room to stock up on things. I only live with two people so the idea of having to buy in bulk isn't always appealing. If you have a larger family or don't have time to shop grocery store sales costco prices probably look better to you. In my area costco has really good diary price, their milk is $1.50 less per gallon than anywhere else. I do love my costco membership, it's well worth $50 annually but costco is like any other store where they have better prices on some things than others. In my area meat is not one of their most competitive areas but it might be difference where you live.

I can confirm that I didn't get this price, if it helps your cause. But then again, I didn't really look for this item. :P

And $10 for the tools to assemble the desk.

Add $5 in medical supplies for cuts and bruises, e.g. band-aids, Neosporin, etc.

I think for deals with rebates, you should troll those too, posting to insist they factor in the cost of the stamp, and then the cost of the printer, toner, paper, and envelope to print the rebate

:lmao:

Costco does not price match other warehouses. The prices will vary depending on location, warehouses might be 12 miles apart and the prices might be totally different. They will not match each other and as far as prices being mark down it all depends on the vendor. Let's say an item is selling better in warehouse A but not so good in B , then the vendor would issue some type of price adjustment for them. Another case might be that they are just trying to get rid of the item because it's being replace.

Costco memberships used to pay for itself in the savings on gas and milk alone.Nowadays the savings on gas is almost nada, same for the milk, compared to my local Safeway.
And it's $55/$110 now for memberships.

Not to mention many deals on SD I've jumped on seem to be about 30% less than standard Costco prices.


~S

If your a SD'er with a Costco close by and your not a member don't hate. Costco with the right due diligence is a no brainier buy the 6 heads of romaine lettuce... buy the 2 jars of enormous peanut butter and throw half away or better yet donate it to the local food bank and you still come out with money in your pocket versus your the chain grocery stores.

I had Costco refuse to do that. I didn't bother arguing for a few dollars.

Your on drugs unless you will let us know you're in Nebraska and your local store is a slaughterer house that sells to public. Costco has the best and freshest meat available but I do live in AZ.

And the selection isn't as good. They should have stuck with the old unlimited return on everything model. People used to haul out endless TVs. Now, I see many coming back.

i bought this desk last year and i really really love it!!! it is not made in china sh!t, the whole thing is made in canada, its REALLY sturdy u can jump on it, no kidding!! and it got protective layer on the desk so you can put hot coffee on it and it own't leave a mark, i bought it for $399 tho and i thought it was a sweeeet deal

199... fml

excellent deal, i goddamn love costco.

If you see an * on a sign at costco, it means the item is discontinued there and will not come back in sotck. Look for the Asterisk to find great deals sometimes.

I'm not happy that Costco AmEx benefits were reduced in August, but this is my favorite B&M store.

I couldn't have said it better.

agreed... my cash back from last year itself... paid for 3 years of membership :)

Also, look for anything priced $**.97 as that denotes it has been marked down. I normally look for the Asterisk first, and then check out that item on my next visit to see if it has been marked down if not already.

Can anyone confirm the approx sizes of the boxes at Costco... I'm trying to see if this will fit in the vehicle or not.

So do they sell 1 day passes or not?

They do *not*. However, the membership is fully refundable within your year time frame if you're "unsatisfied for any reason."

No, but the buy a membership then return idea works well. The membership desk shouldn't hassle you for it either. Just say you were not satisfied.

Another thing you can do if you know an existing member is have them buy you a Costco gift card of any amount. You can get in the door with this card.

At the register tell them you are not a member and received a gift card for Christmas and you would like to use it to make your purchase. They will let you make your purchase. It is company policy (trust me, I work there), even if there is only $0.01 on the gift card, which they will not know until you swipe. Then put the remainder on a debit card. I'm not sure if they will allow you to use an AMEX (only credit card they accept in stores).

could you report back if Grafton has it on clearance?

Verified in Pittsburgh Robinson Twp. They have two more.

No luck, they weren't there.

Sweet mercy that is an awesome desk! Here's hoping...

Foamguy
The longer flat boxes are about 5.5 ft x 2.5 ft. They just fit into my rav4 with the back seats down and the front seats pushed up alittle. They are freakin heavy though. One weighs 180 lbs and the other is 150. Then the third is about 3 x 2 ft.

Duncunville TX has one left, Arlington has several.

I can confirm they're marked down in Pittsburgh, although I just bought the last one at the Robinson store.

Hi, Can somebody post some pic of the desk assembled? Would like to see them in actual settings.

Thanks.

No go at Costco Dunwoody, GA. 6 units left at 399.99 each.

The measured sizes of the two longer boxes are 30"x69"x5".

As someone already posted, the box with the drawers is about 18"x18"x36".

Got the last one from Costco in Duluth, Ga

nice, too bad i don't have space for it.

Just picked up one in Everett, WA. They had 2 more left.

Kirkland is sold out and the price is Seattle and Auburn is $399.99

None Available in Auburn Hills,MI.

None at Lake Zurich, IL (at least not that I saw)

I just got one at the Westminster, CO Costco. As of 5 pm there were 2 more available at $199. Near Denver the Aurora, Superior, and Sheridan stores have 2 or 3 each but at $399. None at Thornton or Arvada.

I forgot to take a picture of the tag, but I've attached a copy of the receipt.

The system did not update with the new price. The cashier had someone checked the tag and manually changed the price. So the receipt shows"MGR OVERRD". There were two or three sets left when I bought it.

That is awesome, I think I should try to pricematch. Would be weird if I come in and got shot down since this is not a normal retail store =P

Costco held one for me while I drove from Detroit to Toledo, OH store. As of 2pm EST they had 3 left. I didnt ask when I arrived at 6:30pm but mine was sitting all together on a cart. Took to register, $199.99, loaded it up and back in the D before 8PM.

Awesome deal!! Thanks OP!

I checked the Avon, OH store today and still the same $399.99...hopefully it will go down- that desk is really nice!

My membership MORE than pays for itself on the 2 gallons of milk I buy there each week. It's a whole dollar cheaper at Costco than any local grocery store, so $2 a week x52 weeks = $104 a year in savings on milk alone.

1 more left :look::D:look:

Bought one in San Diego...took the good part of the day to set up. I can't believe we got this thing for $200! I wish it had another shelf under the hutch but I am happy with it. Beware, it shows dust and may scratch easily. Over time, the melamine may peel away...probably why it was discontinued. Great buy though. TU!

There were four left in Arundel Mills, MD. Costco after I purchased mine yesterday afternoon, they are priced at $200. Believe it or not, we fit this unit (in the boxes still) into our 2011 Corolla. Tight fit, but we managed, can't wait to use the desk!

Called Arvada Costco this morning. Did not have any stock.

Aurora and Englewood CO still have it at $400.

Costco in Morrow, GA (south Atlanta) has 4 left...

Columbus is all out, sold the last one hours before I got there. Anyone know of any other places in Cincy or Cleveland?

Bought one in Niles, IL for 200$. Thanks.

Now they only have 2 left because I just picked up 1.. One of the boxes though looks a little beat up out of the 2 that are left. Hurry! Good deal Also Heavy! Was able to put in my Armada. I love my truck!

Cant wait to set it up this weekend!!! :woot:

Anyone actually have luck with a price match showing a scanned receipt?

got mine today in melrose park, il, three left, will put it together tomorrow

Arundel mills, md all out, picked one up at Woodmore, there's 1 full set left and then only 2/3 boxes of another set??? Had a hell of a time fitting it in my Pontiac Vibe but got with the hatch closed

The LZ store barely has things on clearance i noticed.

If you're in NEOhio, there are 2 at the Mayfield store for $199.xx (as of 15 minutes to closing this evening). At 10am tomorrow there will be only 1 since that is when I will be there picking mine up =)

anyone have problems finding the assembly instructions for this? opened both boxes and the drawers and do not see them. In box 1 I took out everything and do not see it and in box 2 I just lifted up the pieces together underneath with no luck. Not in the drawers either. Think I'm gonna complain to Costco about this - see what I can get out of it. Not on the website either - pretty annoying. thanks for any help...

The instructions and tools/parts were in the pre-assembled file cabinet bottom drawer of box 3/3. I hope that helps! If you cannot find them, call the mfr number on the box.

This is now $169.99 now in Avon, MA

Let's call in and try again today see if they still have it

Now $159. 97 in Avon, MA. Will post pic when I get home.

This desk is now 150.00 on clearance price
