I need two of those COSTCO timers!

[BLUESMAN]

I need two three prong(grounded) light timers from Costco. Can an Costco member please pick these up and bring them to FRAG?? Thanks Blue

I went to Costco this weekend and they were out of stock. It's a seasonal item, unfortunately. I'm also looking for some, so if anyone has a pair, that would be great...after Blue gets his of course.

I have a pair some one can have I will bring to the meeting this saturday

[mx_tang]

Okay...Blue asked first, so sell them to him.

Does anyone else have a pair of those timers?

[AZDesertRat]

Gotcha covered Mike.

[BLUESMAN]

OK I'll buy Gregg's...Thanks!! Blue

When I was looking for them they told me they were discontinued. The Costco on CC and Baseline had a case when I got the set I have.

[mx_tang]

Thanks A.J...I owe you one!

[AZDesertRat]

No you don't. I still owe you! Just tryin' to catch up.

[kenreef]

Well, for what it's worth...thanks!

I'll see you on Saturday and bring along a bucket of salt for you.

[AZDesertRat]

Thank you sir, I appreciate it.

Hello,
What's up with these timers? Are they just cheaper or better...

TIA

[AZDesertRat]

Cheap, and time will tell how good they are!

[BLUESMAN]

They are digital and three prong(for grounded equipment...lighting). I have the cheaper GE non digitals...I love them..well not love, but I do like them! From what I hear though they are either seasonal or discontinued. Blue

[mx_tang]

I don't know whether they're discontinued, but they were a seasonal item at Costco.

I had my first timer die on my after 2 days of hooking it up. I'll put the second one on tonight and see how long it lasts. AJ, should I just take this back to Costco? I have a membership, so I'm sure they'll take it back even if I don't have the receipt.

[AZDesertRat]

You can try. If they won't do it I'm sure I have the receipt around somewhere.

[BLUESMAN]

One that Gregg GIVE me did not work ever. At least I did'nt pay them...Thanks Gregg!! What did you have plugged into it, mx? I'm thinking that maybe they might not take too much current for long periods of time?? Blue

[BLUESMAN]

A.J. Maybe you return mine also?? No big deal...it is an extra. Blue

[mx_tang]

Blue....give me your defective timer and I'll bring it along with my defective timer to Costco. That company is probably the most lenient when it comes to proof of purchase and receipts, so no worries there.

[BLUESMAN]

Thanks Mike!!! Blue

These timers don't seem to have that great of a track record. My buddy got one too and it went belly up in a day or so. Guess if you get a working one that last longer than a week you may be OK??? Guess I'll stick with the manual ones for now.
