Default GAH!! Big Shot not at Costco.com!!!!!!!!

THIS IS NOT FUNNY! I've been checking costco.com every day lately to see if the Big Shot went on a shipping special again. Went there tonight, and there's no Big Shot listed!!!!! I know they can change their product line at any time, but this is so cruel! Unless maybe they are just out of stock at the moment and will re-list it once they get it in again. Anyone think that may be the case?

Oh, my gosh!!! I must have gotten one of the last ones. Mine is due to arrive tomorrow and you're right they show them not being available. Maybe they're just temporarily out of stock and they will get more in.

Thank you for the item number and the sympathies. :( :( I may just have to contact them and see if they know if they will be replacing it with something else (the big kick?) or what.

The same thing happened to me, in either early November or late October. I had been watching it and drooling over it, when all of a sudden, one day, it just wasn't there! I also panicked and started surfing other sites for it, but then one day, I checked back in, and they had it again. So maybe they are just out, and will get them back soon.

Hope that helps a little!

I too have been watching costco.com, I hadn't ordered because I guess I really don't NEED it, kinda want it, but do have a Sizzix and don't really need it...so maybe this is a good thing...for me anyhow!

I know I feel your pain. I was so bummed. I tried to buy it yesterday and it wasn't there. It was there 2 days ago. Stinks!!! I ended up getting ansy and bought it on ebay. BIG MISTAKE!!! Joanns has it on sale for 83$ with no shipping. Not too bad. Since I figured you would probably pay 10$ shipping at least on costco.com.

Good luck, I wish I could have waited.

How much was it at Costco?

I got the CB for christmas but am debating about returning it and getting the Big Shot. I was so ready to do this yesterday but Costco did not have them.

You can't use the free shipping coupon either? WOW if so that's cheezy!! It just said you have to spend 25$ to use it. Were you using code: DECHFS6252

It was something like $54 from Costco, and included a starter kit, an embossing thingy, some cardstock, and a couple of dies. Shipping to Texas was $10ish, not sure what it was like to other locales. Altogether for someone living where I am in Texas it came to ~$71 with taxes, the non-member surcharge, and shipping. With the shipping special it of course was closer to $60 for the whole kit.

At Jo-Anns online they had the same Big Shot kit for ~$84 as a special (usually $120). Not sure how long that special lasts tho.

Were you able to get that coupon code to work? I ended up purchasing some stuff last night that was on sale and could use the shipping code. Here is another one they sent me this morning. THANKSEC1257

Good luck,
audrey

BTW - You can order things at costco without being a member? That's crazy!! But cool ;) Membership here is 50$ - I just go with my mom when I need something.

Non-members pay a 5% surcharge on costco.com orders. On the Big Shot that works out to two bucks and change; a lot less than $50. Especially considering there isn't even a Costco within two hours' drive of here.
