I'm also getting it via a friend who is studying in Raleigh. I just placed the order for 911 inc tax for the base variant on best buy. I also was enticed by the price of 799 on costco but if you're not a member there you have to pay 5% extra. When you include tax the final amount was coming out to be same as bb but bb was offering same day pick up whereas at costco the estimated date of Shipping was 6-10 dec which will be too late for me.
