> Costco is seldom cheapest, but you can be confident that it will at least be competitive and they only sell quality products.

I've run into plenty of counterexamples to the last claim.




Same here, on occasion, but I've found they typically make you whole when you get a dud.

Good example:

I bought two collapsible milk crates. They loaded all my groceries into them in the store.

When I got home and lifted the first crate out of the car, it had too much weight inside, the bottom fell out and two bottles of wine shattered.

I told them the story when returning the crate two weeks later, they waved me off when I said I had a pic, told me it wasn’t necessary, and refunded the wine without being prompted.

Trying to get wine refunded with most other retailer would probably require talking to a manager and making a scene.


Which is where their return policy comes in. I've used it extensively
