Authorized Dealer and Internet Sales Policy
Big Green Eggs are not sold at discount clubs or discount chain stores, or through internet or e-commerce sites, and any such entity offering Big Green Eggs is an unauthorized reseller any may have obtained the merchandise through fraudulent or other improper means. Like many companies, BGE does not extend warranty coverage to products purchased from unauthorized resellers, and consumers are advised to check the Dealer Locator to verify the legitimacy of any reseller before making a purchase.
Even if BGE doesn't guarantee a product through Costco, you're still covered for life. Great purchase. If I see any show up in Portland, I'm adding one to my home.

If bought at Costco and BGE cracks, what if Costco no longer stocks it though. Then you're stuck just getting a refund, no?

Short term gains do not build long term relationships!!
Heh, search up a bit on what Treager has done with their distribution model. New ownership moved production to China and took a fresh look at distribution. Once the discount price Costco road shows started taking place their dealers abandoned them in droves and picked up lines such as Green Mountain, Mak, Memphis etc.
Here's motherships response to my question of "What's up with some Costco's stocking BGE"

Are the firebox and grate not covered under warranty?
thjere was a post form BGE rob, who is the forum moderator, that costco is not an authorized dealer. unfortunately, who is and who isn't an 'official' bge spokesman has been unclear forever on theese forums. BGErob may be th webmaster, but he also may not be qualified to speak as THE official voice of BGE.
they really do need someone who is obviously a BGE rep to post here and say as much.

Regarding that $579 price for the MBGE with nest at Costco, if I were to match it on the west coast it would leave me with about an 11% mark up above my cost. If I didn't have it in stock and had to special order, the freight would eat up that huge profit I made.
I'm sure if they get into our Costco's, we'll get the customers asking us all the questions about the product and then buying it at Costco, but they'll be back when they have any problems and expect us to fix it.
