Sony WH-1000XM2 $279.99 @ Costco (Membership Required)

1530

I saw this at Costco Moorabbin, VIC on Thursday 8th March 2018. It is their regular price and looks like plenty in stock.

It is the cheapest I've seen.

  • Yep they should be happy to match guys, seems like cost price is very low on these. I didn't have any issue matching the $317 price at boxing day. If they say no, try another staff member/store.

    $257 each but I added $42 theft insurance too

    • Legend! thanks mate, hopefully they will finally price match.

    • Nice, you got more than one? The manager at the store I went to told me I was lucky to even just get one at that price (had a friend who also wanted a pair, but that was pushing it).

      • I asked for 2 pairs and was told no problem so at the register I asked for another as I New the store had 3 he went out the back so I must have got the last 3 at that store they were happy to sell to me at that price $247

        • Has anyone else price matched $257 in Vic? Dont care about the theft insurance.

    • Can provide the receipt with date? Store in Bendigo says below cost and maybe special

    • Thanks!! JB in Cranbourne (Vic) said they could do 1 for me at $257.

      • Who served you? Inside the shopping center or at the homemaker center?

      • I rang them earlier today and was told they couldn’t do the price match.

        • It was the standalone store in Cranbourne North, a lady served me (not sure of name), I mentioned that a friend had bought it and sent me a pic of the receipt.. I tried Cranbourne Park they said no.

        • thanks

  • Come on jb! Open up the floodgates and either drop the price or price match!

  • No luck at 3 different jbhifi. All saying it’s well below cost and the manager won’t approve it.

    • Which ones did you try

      • Victoria stores
        Pakenham and both fountain gate stores

    Hey guys. Just a quick update on my price matching efforts around Sydney:
    - JB Homebush Bay: flat out said no price matching interstate receipts (despite being from JB as well).
    - JB Roselands: about 5 units in stock. The chick that answered the phone said yes initially, but after speaking to her manager, she said they can't do it.
    - JB Artarmon: no dice. The sales manager said that the receipt could be "doctored" (Misam0810's receipt) and they need an original receipt to price match (Dex38313's receipt). I was like.. WTF?! They didn't budge, despite me saying it was "my friend from Melbourne that got the deal and sent me a photo of the receipt".

    I'll try to head to JB Chatswood if I can head there for lunch. But.. I'll probably need to wait until Costco (hopefully) get more stock in.

    Please post here if anyone sees new stock at Costco Auburn!

    • Please upload your receipt if you're successful, thanks!

      • No luck so far!

        I called JB Chatswood - they said they wouldn't price match (something about "different sales reps have different margins to work with", so he can't do what VIC did). The guy I spoke to also said "our system says there's 8 units in stock, however there aren't any on the shop floor.. I think they may have been stolen". I've got no idea why he would say that..

    1 JB manager denied a price match with a smug look. Gah. Another said over the phone they could do it for $350. I laughed and hung up.

  • +1

    Went to CostCo Auburn on Sunday and they didnt even have the Price nor stand up anywhere so I'd say they're not coming back.

  • I got JB to sell it to me for $299, i emailed and asked if they could match $299, 257 is a bit silly

    • Who did you email?

      • just customer support, selected a store and then a manager of the store called me and said he could do the $299, i asked for the $257 and flat out said no then proceeded to say best he could do was $320; stupid since we agreed on 299

        ended up grabbing the last black at 299

    • What are you asking the staff members? I have had no luck today at all

      • I just walk in and ask to buy 3 Paris he said are we price matching and I show my other receipt of $257
        Happy to do the sale

        • Can I just buy one for 257? I know it’s really hard to get it

    • You managed to get 6 at that price whilst no one else can even get one. Good for you.

      • I don’t go out of my way to get them I was passing a JB Hi-Fi so I went in aske to buy some told then the price I want to pay as I no people have got the for 257 and I was sold 3 the store never said that’s way below cost or we’re loosing money they just sold them to me

        • Maybe you have a certain charm about you, or some kind of jedi mind trick :P

    • How are you getting them for $257? That's $22 cheaper than CostCo… What did I miss?

      • I asked for that price and the sales guy just put down price match Costco he said I have to put down something
        As this price is cheep but they have never said that’s way below what we pay for them

        • Am there now, in maribyrnong as its my nearest. Apparently that 0eraon got in a bit of trouble for doing that price for you. LoL. Luckiest Ozbargainer ever.

        • @bry-bry:
          That was expected. Price matching for $22 cheaper when Costco doesn't even have stock.

        • what’s funny is he only had a gold left but let me pay for 3 at $257 each and I collected the gold from him and the two black ones from Essendon dfo store

  • it really depends on who you talk to I guess.. if anyone got an extra pair they can sell for under $300. I am interested to buy.. in Sydney.

  • To all the people that got these headphones from JB Hi-Fi and had to get device insurance for $42 as part of the sale I cancelled mine and got back $252 u have a 21 day cooling off period

    • Why? I would've bought it from you at $252.

      • Dex didn't return the headphones, he only cancelled the insurance component of the transaction.

      • Hi I got 6 pairs and $42 x6 = $252 in device insurance I didn’t n reed so I cancelled all 6 and got back
        The mone so I only paid $257 each pair of headphones

  • I emailed a bunch of stores and got refused. So its a unicorn price match for me at least. To me jbhifi never had a true price matching unlike officeworks even though it may be below their cost. I used to work for a supplier so these stores never make a loss, they simply go after the suppliers for rebates.

  • Anyone in Brisbane looking to sell a pair please let me know :)

  • +3

    On the off chance they would price match the great $257 deal, (Thanks Dex38313) I went to JB-Hifi at Robina. The sales agent went away to check with her manager and agreed. Apparently its a few dollars more than staff discount price. Picked up a gold and two black head phones. Linked to a photo of receipt. Good luck. https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/70682/57144/jb-hifi_so…

    • What was the details? Just $257 all up?

    • How do you guys match at $257? I matched mine at Camberwell for $279.99 based on Costco price.

      • Could you please upload the recipe? Thank you so much

        • They don't price match receipts. I show OP's photo of costco price.

      • Lucky you. Store manager at Camberwell refused me a few days ago.

  • Ok i will try it again at jb when im back in Melb.

  • Anyone successfully bought a pair for $257 in Melbourne northern suburb please let me know.

    • Plenty vally jb selling them and dfo essedon jb I hear

      • I went to plenty vally the other day, and had been told that they cannot do that price for me.

    • I'm going to try at my local store in Sydney on Saturday. But shouldn't it be easy for jb to match another jb store?

      • Nah each store manager has margins they got to work with.

  • JB in Eastland refused. Can do a discount of $50 on the current sale price of $449.

    • Further to this, they have been advised not to offer any more price matches for this with Costco.

    Went to JB HiFi robina this morning, and despite the fact that they put them aside for me yesterday with the $257 price match, word came down from head office last night that there will be no more price matches (that's what they said anyway). Just letting you guys know

  • This deal should really be marked as out of stock or expired considering there is none in stock and no one knows when or if Costco will restock

    • Correct. All sold out as each warehouse had 8 units each to sell. No more headphones are on order.

  • No dice at JB Hifi Forest Hill or The Glen - they mentioned something about being able to do pricematches previously but not anymore.

  • No dice at JB South Wharf. Doncaster was willing to match but need to show Costco membership.

    Also Costco no longer have them in Stock @ Docklands

    • Was the display completely removed at Docklands?

      • +1

        Yeap no Sony display there.

  • Damn looks like price matching with jb hifi is over

    • +1

      and their days are numbered

  • If there is stock in Ringwood Costco, I will go for it. for additional $22, I don't want to argue with JB sales again and again…….It is just a waste of time.

    • Ringwood has been out of stock since day 1.

  • Can someone report it to mods to mark it as expired. I am unable to as I reported oos in VIC earlier.

    • It waa already reported 2 days ago long after all stores were out of stock but hasn't been marked as expired for some reason

  • Refurbed ones were available via the Sony ebay store for $235.10 after discounts but i think they all sold out yesterday

    • Refurb? Cracking headband?

      • Factory seconds. Came in the original box/packaging that wasn't even opened. Everything appears to be brand new including that new plasticky smell!

  • Anyone know where is the thread of the Amazon Australia seller that was much lower price than this and likely to be a scam moved to?

      • There was a thread for the Sony WH1000XM2 I believe was from the same seller. I cannot find it any more. I just hope it had not been deleted as we can all learnt from others' experiences.

  • Anyone bought these from Costco Marsden Park recently ?

    • Yep I explained my experience in this thread already. I got the last pair over there on last Friday night.

      • They may have restocked them ?

        • I doubt it. Worth a try but I'd assume that someone would have updated post if stock was replenished.

        • @andyman1908:
          Stock is not coming back. I have an email from Costco confirming it.

        • @homersimpson: That would be a shame! The lady at Costco Canberra said they are still in the system, but no new order is planned for the time being.

  • JB Hi-Fi chadston did $279 but only had gold I got last two pairs receipt
