Welcome to our forum.
Is there wet testing? What if you don't like it? Will you never buy another tub based on that? No real dealer for service. Just make sure to know what the small savings gets you. Or doesn't get you.
The key word there is "Roadshow". These are NOT being sold by Costco, nor are they at Costcos pricing structure nor covered by Costcos warranty. A roadshow is where another, completely independent company comes in and basically rents space from Costco to sell their own "wares" at what ever price they determine, with what ever warranty they determine.

True to a point. The customer does buy it through Costco and that's who they pay. Costco also takes their cut from the final price. You even have to have the actual Costco price tag and SKU# for the item and abide by Costco salesman policy. We did a Jacuzzi one a few years ago and a Quadrfire woodstove display once. I actually hated working there. Not suppose to sit down, can't be on your phone, Cannot approach customers unless they approach you first, not suppose to leave the areas for long except bathroom breaks or grabbing something to eat which you can't eat at your space. It's a long a-- day. I directed more people to the store and sold them there than at Costco. We made more money, good thing is it puts you in front of a lot of people.

Hold on, are you telling me they won't allow you to go up and down the isles and get the food samples when things are slow? That's 80% of the reason I agree to go there with my wife in the first place so I'd go crazy standing there (not on my phone), only occasionally talking to people and watching them walk by with napkins and little plastic cups with food in them! Oh the humanity!!

Manufacturer's warranty and Costco guarantee. Price is dictated by Costco. Delivery and service by vender at the show.
