No grey market, it has USA Warranty.

Bought my D3400 thru there and no problems.

Went to their website and looked for warranty information. They have a pdf you can download and it says 1 year Nikon usa limited warranty. Looks like a good deal to me.

I noticed that the D7500 2 lens Kit at Costco includes the typical 18-55mm kit lens and the VR version of the 70-300mm lens. (Often the 2 lens kits offer a 70-300mm without VR) Costco is an authorized dealer for both Nikon and Canon, so the products include the U.S. warranty.

It is a very good deal assuming you want both the AF-P 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR and AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G VR lenses. B&H seems to have the same deal for a few dollars less.

Note that some authorized dealers also sell grey market.

Call Nikon and ask them. Knowing the first number in the serial number MAY also help.

Authorized Nikon dealers do sell gray market like B&H but I don't think Costco does.

That's why I offered a note...

Yeah! I think the big box stores don't sell gray market.

I would not venture a guess. If they are selling cheaper than the key players, something smells and they won't be an authorized dealer for long.

When I first saw it, I was wondering why you offered that note.
The D7500 seem pretty inexpensive just about everywhere right now in a variety of kits from $799 to $1429.

The big game seems to be kits, extra do-dads or 2-4% "rebates/credits." All ways too work around MSRP.
I suppose it might be possible to see if another popular retailer would do price matching. Personally, I'm more comfortable with shops like B&H, Adorama, Cameta, etc.
