I bought four new phones from Costco this summer (Samsung Galaxy SIII). Their vendor is Wireless Advocates. There is NO ADDITIONAL EARLY TERMINATION FEE. I read the agreements, nothing. And the site shows the fees and they are carrier ETFs (see below). Also, I found the experience very good. I got the phones for $199 (upgrade pricing), with a kit containing bluetooth headset, 3 in 1 charger, screen protectors (not needed), belt holster (ok, bought a better one), leather case for carrying in purse. And a $25 rebate. A few weeks later while experimenting with NFC tags, we found that one of the phones' NFC didn't work. Swapped batteries, it worked fine (battery has NFC antenna built-in). Emailed them, new battery sent via 2-day without question. I'd recommend them. How much will I be charged if I cancel my wireless service?
