Verified ReviewerBad over the phone admin
Customer service over the phone was simple, but the administration department chose to hang up on me. I hope it was being recorded; if not, this is why they have been able to hang up on customers and get away with it. The location is in San Jose, CA, Automation Way, right next to the post office.
Preferred solution: Better customer service from administration department over the phone

Verified Reviewer |Return
I wanted to return 2 bathroom fans in the original boxes, never installed/used. However, they were at least 3 years old.
They wouldn't let me do the return even though I explained they were the wrong size. I explained that both my parents died and I was busy caring for them, so I only recently had an opportunity to have someone come out to do the installation, but they still refused.
- Good prices
- Returns
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Don’t count on Costco making accommodations for you regarding their return policy.

Verified ReviewerBad over the phone customer service administration department
Customer service over the phone was simple, but the administration department chose to hang up on me. I sure hope it was being recorded; if not, this is why they have been able to hang up on the customers and get away with such simple customer questions and concerns.
Costco has trained the administration better than this.
I'm so disappointed. ?
- Being a member pays for itself
- Bad customer service training in the administrationdepartment
Preferred solution: Better training I. Administration department picking up members calls and assistance with thier questions.
User's recommendation: All bad with customer service over phone administration department

Verified ReviewerI think Costco is great!
I feel their products are quality and well made. I have never returned anything larger than clothing or gloves etc.
My large purchases were the kitchen appliance package and leather office chair, I was satisfied with both. Any of the other returns have been super easy put right back on my card don't need to worry about losing a receipt. If consumers have an issue my feeling would be it is because they are abusing it.
I watched somebody bring in a busted up couch which looked like kids have been jumping on it for 9 months. Shame on them.
User's recommendation: Don't be one of those customers who beat something up or break it and expect to get a refund.
Tracking number for replacement of product
This is the second microwave that I received as damage. The replacement come in damaged on the side.
They sent a UPS label to return. I have yet yo see a tracking number for the replacement.

Verified ReviewerInstallation
Costco would not install oven (installer feigned some problem) had to have it hired to be done by friend. Said he would do it for free unless we could get reimbursed.
There was no problem with installation for professional. Costco would not refund money because it was done for free and we were trying to get reimbursed retroactively. I told him I would get an invoice. Said what I was doing was fraud- told me the call was being recorded- about 15 times.
So- trying to get the installer paid was fraud? So- my revenge- I want to get the word out that anyone having to have oven installed that you bought at Costco- they will reimburse up to $200- so tell your installer to charge you that!!!
User's recommendation: Order from Home Depot or Lowe’s

Verified Reviewer |Cancelled My Membership Early To Punish Me Since I Can't Afford to Renew
I spoke with Heather from Costco's corporate offices @ 425-313-**** on Monday , Oct 7 @11:17am CST . At that time she promised to extend my membership until Jan 31 , 2025 - but she never did anything . It is still scheduled to expire Nov 30th.
In September, I responded in writing to my paper renewal notice . I wrote that as a senior I can no longer afford 65.00 annually. I wrote Sam's Club has a 20.00 senior membership. My membership wasn't scheduled to expire until NOV 30.
But Michael P who received my response thought it would be funny to CANCEL my membership OCT 1. I never said cancel it- my membership was paid up until NOV 30, 2024 and I fully intended to use it until it expired. I thought they might want to know why I wasn't renewing in hopes Costco might create a Senior Membership, but instead Michael P decided to punish me for not having enough money to afford this anymore. In his eyes I was insignificant because I'm now a senior citizen .
What a cruel thing to do. Unaware that Michael P had shut down my membership , I went shopping on Saturday Oct 5th. My card wouldn't work , the line was backing up behind me. People were staring .
I almost started crying in the store . It took 30 minutes to get my membership reactivated and all the while I got questions as though it were somehow my fault - like did you lose your card ? did it already expire ? etc ...
I guess my decision to go to Sam's Club is a good idea after all.
*Update - On Oct 7, at 11:17am CST I spoke with Heather from Costco's Corp Offices at phone number 425-313-***5. At that time she promised to extend my membership until end of January . She never did anything . Still set to expire Nov 30th.
So apparently Costco's answer to my legitimate concern is " don't let the door hit you on the way out . Yet another example of the Age Discrimination they practice at Costco.
**Final Update --On Oct 26th I cancelled my membership , received a cash refund for the annual fee and walked out .
P.
S. - The door didn't hit me and I will be spending that cash and more somewhere else for Christmas.
- Some nice exclusive items
- Age discrimination

Verified ReviewerComplaint
I was at the courtesy desk when I dropped my reusable Costco bag while searching for a card, when I got home I called the store asking if they found it, come in and look was the reply, I came in the next morning and the representative said they did not have it, without even looking, I was trying to explain myself but with my speech impediment I am often judged and that is not fair, I am very disappointed

Verified ReviewerFast courteous, educated representative. Thank you so much for your help appreciate it.
I was calling about a scam on the Internet that uses the Costco label and, of course, it was a fraud, and the representative was able to tell me the difference between fraud and the original Costco website. I appreciated her fast, courteous, and educated information.
It took her less than 30 seconds to assure me it was definitely a scam. I appreciate you.
User's recommendation: Always call Costco first

Verified ReviewerResolved: Damage goods
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with partial refund.
Delivery was terrible. Costco hired 3rd party, NPT to deliver.
NPR sent one guy to deliver when clearly 2 were needed to lift a sofa, so my husband and I had to help carry it into the house.
Plus the delivery guy from NPT was afraid to drive into our driveway, so my husband had to meet him on the road with our skidsteer to get the sofa to our house. On top of all that the sofa was packaged so poorly it was damaged during shipment.
User's recommendation: Make it a white glove delivery.

You said your friend did it for free. Why claim a $75 loss?
He would have made $75 if Costco would have reimbursed him. Nice try Costco employee- don’t you think we all know companies pay trolls to make these types of comments about valid complaints?!
Ohhh
Costco employee? Sure Shortbus.
Costco doesn’t read posts on this site or care. This is a third party forum for thousands of businesses. Anyone can comment. As you browse this site, most complaints seem legit and help alert other consumers.
Those complaints have no comments. The ones that do, like yours, get called out when being disingenuous.
You won the loser lottery. Congratulations!
No one is trolling. No one works for Costco.
