Is It Better To Get An iPhone From Costco/Sam's or Verizon?

I have Verizon cell phone service as of now, but want the new iPhone 6S.  I've had experience with the Verizon brick/mortar store, but noticed Sam's and Costco also have a kiosk with cell phone carriers.

 

Anyone with any experiences over the Verizon store or the kiosks?  TIA

Yesterday Sam's Club had a special on phones...you could get a $200 card to spend in Sam's if you wanted to finance a new phone or I got two 6SPlus for $300 each. I don't know the discounts on the other phones. The line wait was two hours.  I know Costco has offered similar deals.  It lasted only one day.  So you might want to ask your local big box store about special deals.

Just to let you know, that price was for the 64gig.

With lines like that I would think Costco or Sams.  We will probably be switching from a family sprint plan to Verizon, when we move to a new state, and will definitely be checking prices at Costco and Sams.  The Verizon or Sprint stores don't have any deals ever. No lines there!

I don't know why not.  We go to Best Buy as a rule.
