Costco Wholesale

I like Costco because I can buy healthy food in bulk for cheap.
My problem with this location is that it’s way too packed. If they expanded their hours, it would decrease the congestion. Also, I heard an employee make fun of a customer’s accent today. The customer asked, «Do ya’ll have humidifiers?» The Costco employee responded, «Ya’ll?! Ya’ll» So the customer quickly corrected himself and was embarrassed. I thought that was very sad…

I walked into a BJ’s today because I happened to be walking past one to the next store. I am not going to brow beat them but lets just say NO. Nope… Look Costco is up-​scale warehouse shopping at its finest. High end product, clothing, food. Exceptional customer service. For example clothing you can return, WHENEVER. Year later no problem. Food. Oh the food. The stuff they don’t directly control (Such as their exceptional meats) they only sell the highest end stuff and I have never been disappointed. The pumpkin pie is to die for.

I love Costco. Simple as that. I think Costco is my favorite of the big quantity retailers. I love that there are employees everywhere to help you with whatever you need, and also handing out samples :) Their prices are great if you pay attention to their adds. The first time you go, expect to want EVERYTHING! But pace yourself and you won’t be poor on the way out!

I didn’t know going to Costco could become a hobby, but now I do. I come here with no intention of buying anything but it is Costco, and you’re bound to walk out of this place with something. There is something for everyone!
I bought a floral arrangement here for $ 30, where at a florists it would be at least $ 90+ (if you’ve purchased an arrangement from a floral shop, you know what I’m talking about). Also, the samples spread throughout this place are amazing, omg I can’t stop eating when I’m here. It is a good sales tactic, you try it and love it and want more… ugh so good.
The pizza is delicious and cheap. Out of curiosity, I looked up the calorie count on the pizza. ONE SLICE = 700 CALORIES. Luckily, my friend and I split one piece down the middle (350 calories but still, wow). BEWARE.

Sam’s Club and BJ’s should be scared. Costco is the real deal of wholesale. $ 50 annual membership is a small price to pay for quality and quantity.
What they have to offer baffles me: tires, gas, their own line of alcohol (beer, margarita mix) etc.
For store bought cake, their red velvet had me swooning. Fresh, not super sweet, indulgent. For only $ 20 served a party of 15.
The plethora of sample stations make it worthwhile to buy any item in bulk to ensure you like it.
Especially love their customer service. Everyone seems pleasant, no Debbie downers here. Exceptional return policy (boyfriend returned a cooked corned beef which didn’t taste good — ACCEPTED AND REFUNDED. Also had a friend who returned a toy without receipt or the original box. Item was located in customer history and yes ACCEPTED AND REFUNDED.
Also must mention the concession stand. Wow, super cheap, offers hot dog, pizza slices, brisket sandwich, ice cream. Had them all folks, I am a fan would even come in to the store just to eat.
Gas prices are always a steal, but not a 24 hour operation. Must insert your membership card, and the hours are in tandem with store hours.
Entire store is kept clean. I heard they are cutting their contract with American express but has not yet come to fruition.

I hate Costco and their stupid policies! I went to return t shirts but I forgot my husband hadn’t put one back in the bag and I didn’t notice he so I couldn’t return them, that makes sense. The problem I had is they wouldn’t let me leave them at the service desk or take them back in the store even though I had the receipt. I had To take them to the car. I said what if I rode the bus? They didn’t care. So I asked the ladies that check receipts can I take them in the store and I’ll show you the receipt when I leave? No I have to take them to my car. My husband often drops me off when I shop what would I have done then? I slid them against the wall by where you leave and said I hope they’re still there when I come back the lady said I can’t watch them. I said I don’t expect you to. So i picked up my toilet paper and left (took about 5 minutes) and guess what when I came out they had put them outside with a pile of boxes! As if they wanted someone to take them. How is that for Customer Service???

I love walking around this store even when I’m not buying anything. Some days I would just come in for a hot dog, or slice of pizza. It so clean inside and they are always busy on the weekends! Awesome selections of items for the whole family. One thing that sucks about this place is that they don’t carry the diaper brand, Pampers for babies, and the Ensure Plus.

Great deals all around and so many different items! They always have a great deal of samples to try. I recommend getting a bite to eat after shopping, after all how can you pass up a hotdog and soda for $ 1.50!

Stopped in from out of state hoping to pick up some wine. The PA Costco’s don’t carry wine and I’ve been to other stores in many states that have a huge selection of wine. This is not one of them. What a disappointment! They have virtually nothing. And as a result, that’s what I bought. Huge disappointment there. But the rest of the store is just like every other Costco. So it’s not all bad. But I really was counting on stocking up…

This is a nice Costco and well laid out. There is a ton of parking spots available in the huge parking lot when you arrive. Theres plenty of room and wide isles to navegate around the packs of people that are here at all hours of the day. It gets a little jammed up in the rear of the store… by the meats, fruits, and refrigerated section, but it seems that they continue to re-​arrange items back there to try to improve the traffic flow in the past year.
The store is always clean, organized, and you can tell there are plenty of workers keeping it that way. My favorite times to go is when they have samples! They have samples of everything from chips to granola bars, to pulled pork and mini chicken tacos.
My only complaint would be the area where you can buy food: their famous $ 1.50 hot dot with soda, or the $ 1.99 pizza… or pulled pork sandwich, soft serve… there are never enough people to staff that food counter which results in modest lines and carts blocking the exits, and long wait times to grab a quick bite if you’re hungry. The last 2 times I’ve gotten a hot dog they have been empty of onion and relish condiments which was disappointing.

For those of us, I mean you, that prefer Target because you’re «too good» to go to Walmart, Costco is your big box warehouse club equivalent.
The options are great in terms of housewares, clothing, electronics, food and produce (excellent), and even vision and car services. It also lives up to our, er I mean YOUR store ambiance requisites, in terms of organization, cleanliness, associate mood and tone, volume level, etc. — pretty much ratchetness free, if I may.
The only drawback might be the membership fee at $ 55 for basic, vs. $ 35 at the other clubs, I believe? Could be wrong there, and if so, the point is moot. If I’m correct, however, people I described at the top of the view would gladly pay the difference to separate themselves… I’m guessing ;-)

I like Costco, not because of Ssoccer moms in soccer mom jeans, gratuitous amounts of samples, and or some the most underrated pizza by the slice. Quality. Costco has very consistent quality.
The meat is spectacular. The prime beef, when they have it, is amazing, Mary’s boneless little leg of lamb is fab as well.
Seafood — they have some pretty darn good salmon, halibut, scallops, and lobster tail. Their prices are on par, or much less than supermarkets with equal or superior quality. They sell the salmon with out the skin and brown flesh, that is the part which smells like a boat of cod on a warm day.
Lets just say you are broke and have only 5 dollars to spend on protein for the week. What is one to do? The rotisserie chicken, the cornerstone of the Costconians diet. For all you non Cosctonians, you get a 3+ pound behemoth cock sans the head and feet, ready cooked, hot, and seasoned for 4.99. The possibilities are endless. chicken tacos, sandwiches, pasta, pet food etc…
Deserts– Amazing deserts and bakery items. If you want to throw a going away party, get a caked and invite 100 of your closest friends! Now lets talk muffins, muffins half the size of your head. I will never be able to look at muffin the same way.
Drugs and Vitamins –You can by enough cough syrup to keep you old college roommate robo-​tripping for weeks, and pay ¹⁄₁₀^th the cost as your local CVS. What ever ails you or article you read that says supplement X will extend your life by a decade, Costco has it, and the smallest bottle will probably last a decade.
The only negatives I can really think of-​, that 5 $ chicken turns into 100 $ of stockpiled toilet paper, strip steaks and dryer sheets. Oh almost forgot, a few Costconians get really aggressive over samples, especially around the holidays. Some d-​bag who looked like he had one too many muffins, full body checked me reaching for the promised land of mozzarella stick samples.

Came here and shopped with my dad at noon today. We had to renew our membership. Basic is $ 55, the membership let’s you shop there, use services like auto or gas, and buy bulk for less. The second membership is $ 155, you get a 2% back when you shop I think using your American Express card you opened at Costco. It will be 2% back of what you buy at Costco, every 3 months in a form of a check to your house. Big ticket items can get you $ 20 back. There is even another membership but you have to go find it on the company website if you are very interested.
They have samples on weekends and afternoons, by the food aisles. Found out they don’t sell wall clocks here. Dad got 3 pairs of shoes, groceries, made use of their store rebate for 8 -.99 cent for 4 energy save bulbs. A few other things.
I like their prepared foods and deli section, the soups are good and juice, yogurt. Their seasonal clothes are decent. A lot of wine and plenty IPA and draft beers. Good cheese section too. Jewelry section has quality accessories. The only thing hard to find is a customer service team member because you have to ask a person who is doing stock where something is and it could be inaccurate or they don’t know. Everyone is in the front at check out and you don’t want to ask the samples person unless they really know or not to busy selling.
The food court is the savviest place to eat, nothing is over $ 5. A hot dog/​polish dog plus a medium drink is $ 1.50 and a salad $ 4.00.
Healthwise, they have frozen yogurt not ice cream, yay.
I saw the other day returns are very open, if you opened the package and tried it or something has like fingerprints all over it, they will still accept and return what you didn’t like.
You may end up buying a lot of stuff here for their bargain price.

I love Costcos! This place is very organized and well maintained. I especially like their fresh fruit and vege sections, as well as their free sample stands. Their salmons are also very nicely cut with different varieties. However, the price is a little more expensive than the costcos near the coasts. They change their selections from time to time, depending on their storage and refill date — some times you may get the specific brand you want and some times you will have to wait for a few weeks till they are able to refill some more.
Although most of the food and clothes may be cheaper than what you can get somewhere else, electronics, kitchenwares, and cosmetic products may be just as expensive as somewhere else. So make sure you check amazon or other places before you decide to buy them from costco, cuz they may be with the same price but of larger portion that may take you years to finish.

The staff, layout, and selection of this store is by far the best Costco in the NE OH region!
The store is kept clean and the staff is willing to help you find what you need.
Although one thing that bugs me is that this store rearranges items often. You’d tend to spend more time looking and pick up a few more things than originally intended!
Checkout is pretty speedy but there is a huge surge of people on weekends.
There is a pretty good selection of samples on Sundays.
I do want to comment on the excellent service I received at the tire center.
Steve provided great information on the ordering and installation process and was very helpful along the way. The technicians there are acknowledgeable and polite. I would definitely return for future tire purchases!

Come here if you want to shop for big bulks of groceries and products… that’s what make this place cheap.

I love shopping at this costco. Not only it’s hella cheap, I rarely see lines of people here. Well, I go during off hours not the weekends! I have been a proud Costco member ever since I moved to Berkeley, Calif. At this Costco, you can get great selection at very reasonable prices. Remember, COSTCO makes money marginally, so you can get goods at very cheap price compared to shopping retails (outside of costco).
You can also get newly published magazines at about 30% more cheaper price compared to news stand price!
i love Costco!

LOVE. THIS. COSTCO. Way better than the one I usually go to in Strongsville, and this location has a far broader selection and always carry several items that I cannot find at other Costco locations (organic tofu, Kerrygold butter, vegetarian dolmas, organic soups, a range of pre-​made appetizer and dinner options, and lots more organic fruits and veggies). I wish it were closer so that I could shop here more frequently.

Got a low heart rate? Blood pressure a little too low? Forget the medication and head to Costco on a Saturday! If your an avid Costco shopper you expect it and manage it the best you can. This place is always crazy busy but on this Saturday we hit the right check-​out line and was through in about 10 minutes. Unfortunately with this Costco the price for gas is not very competitive. There is often lower priced fuel nearby — thanks to GasBuddy!
Although the crowds are big so are the discounts and the selection. Well worth the trip and the employees are also very efficient and helpful.

There was some policy disagreement when I returned my sleeping bag with a zipper problem. This is what I wrote to Costco customer service regarding my return experience so I can get clarification on what the actual policy is:
On 31 August 2012, approximately 3:15pm EST at Mayfield Heights Costco in Ohio, AnnMarie told me that my sleeping bag from 3 years ago with a broken zipper does not qualify for return. I provided the receipt. She said, «Costco’s return policy is for one year. Returns over one year is excessive. I spoke to my supervisor Jessica, and for this one time only I will process this return. But no more after this time.»
I don’t mind a policy change, but I would like to clarify this ambiguity for myself as well as for my friends and family. Thank you.
There’s a gas station, and it was the second cheapest in the area (one Shell station beat it by 2 cents… no big deal). Lots of samplers on a Friday with courteous staff. The stock was standard for all other Costcos I’ve visited in different cities and states (no return hassels in PA, NJ, CA, WA, KS)
