!BEWARE! Costco SCAM.....
Gomboman:
Wow, is this a late April fools joke? I actually like the siding. Are you saying that the local dealers are delivering or just providing warrantee work? Should be a great seller.
Wisoki:
Watkins is paying the local dealers to deliver. $700 is the going rate I'm told. Not bad. None the less, it's a bad move by Watkins, driven purely be the desire to grab market share. Only time will bear this out.

5 year shell and structure
1 year no leak plumbing
1 year equipment
1 year LED light
Not quite the same warranty, only short by about 4 years.
This is only available online and not at local Costco warehouse locations.
The spa will not be branded with the HS logo anywhere, and it will be sold as a Watkins product from the "Makers of HS"
As far as it being a good or bad business decision? Well, from a manufacturers point of view, selling a few thousand more spas a year never hurt anyone. It gives the dealers an chance to make a few bucks for delivery and service, add on items like ozone, 220 sub panels etc... and should anything happen outside the warranty period, service call charges and labor and part costs would only benefit the dealers. Plus, the chances that someone sees the spa online and becomes curious about the actual HS product, means more floor traffic for me with the opportunity to sell. No brainer if you ask me! ;)
Gomboman:
Not a bad deal. We'll have to change our tune now when we talk about Costco spas. ;D
What would it cost to add the 220 conversion kit and ozone through the dealer?

About $700.00 depending on the dealer.
