Saferacks has them on sale plus 25% off and free shipping. It's cheaper but you'll have to math for yourself.

I don't want to buy something that I'm not sure will fit and I'm not sure how they would so easily refuse a consultation/estimate as that's a solid lead right there. Anyway, now that the 25% sale has ended, I am for sure not going to get one of these...
Maybe the next time it comes around.
I consider myself handy and decided to throw these up after I got off work on a Friday and before the wife got home. FIVE HOURS LATER I had one completed. These things seriously need a stencil of the dimensions you can throw up on the ceiling, kinda like how some minisplits include the cardboard stencil.
The time consuming problem is the 27'' C-Channels that you mount between the joists. It takes a lot of patience and double measuring to make sure you get the correct offset from a wall for both ends, as well as lining up the 96.5 or 48.5 measurements to the other C-Channels. You can flub the 96.5 run a little bit since you can move the vertical posts laterally between the lag screws to compensate... but the 48.5 width needs to be pretty true. So getting one C-Channel is the easy part. Then it's meticulous measuring and making sure the rest are inline.
My install was over the garage doors, rails, and track so that was a lot of my time fighting with the ladder and trying to double and triple check measurements. I tried painters tape to "dry fit" and measure the C-channels but they're pretty heavy and that failed spectacularly. Then it was about "good enough, send it" time.
You can buy the hardware separate for like $100 or something, posts and all for racks.
I'd literally NEVER buy these. Extremely overpriced.
I was actually planning to buy the materials separately but went to Lowes today and just the angle strip for mounting to the ceiling was $50. I can't see how I could come out much cheaper buying the hardware in pieces.
Looks like $149/unit, haven't checked shipping yet. Also state 500# limit vs 600# for the Costco ones
economy shipping (5-8 days) is free. they're oos of the 48" drop down ones. only the 18-33" drop down available
Yep, just finally installed today and sure enough the logo and sticker says "Monsterrax". I bought from Saferacks

Same time estimates for me too (I took a little longer). The kicker for me was, when it came down to hammering the c-channels with a rubber mallet, one side would just not go in! They screwed up the little round things that hook onto the vertical posts. I probably banged that sucker in for 20 minutes, using WD-40 and STILL WOULDN'T GO IN. In the end, I got a Dremmel and shaved the inside of those button things and THAT finally worked.

I think the additional difference is the $60 hook accessory pack Costco includes.
Saferacks includes hooks too. It's in the description. I actually bought a separate hook set thinking the same thing from Saferacks, but now I have extra.
