Costco Returns
« on: October 16, 2012, 07:29:57 PM »
If I buy something from Costco.com with an Amex card and then go to return the item in a store and I tell them I don't have the Amex card on me, will they write me a check instead? I know they will if you purchased an item from Costco.com using a Visa/MC

Doesn't Amex cover loss?

That sounds crazy. Do they usually check that every single item is included when u return it? I have returned an item to Costco missing the power cord and they didn't blink an eye.

Either try again, try another location, put a blank cd into a cd case or envelope or see if you can find the software online.

Hello All,

Going to give this thread a refresh and a re-boot.

I am an avid costco shopper. The products are great, the quiality of their products are great, their return department is wonderful.

I wanted to start a conversation to see if anyone knows how their returns work?

As per their return policy, you can return everything (except electronics) whenever!

However, my friend told me that in their system, there is really a percentage, and if you cross that percentage of returns in a given time, they will not take it back.

All thought and comments welcome...

I bought a toaster 6 years ago. I returned it last month when it stopped working. No receipt. No hassle.

They are usually great about returns, but when I tried to return a nutribullet after it broke they wouldn't allow me to because I was missing one piece plus the recipe booklet. Not sure if they are all that strict or I just got unlucky.

True, although they do still keep track of the amount of returns you do.

Yeah, I know someone who was banned from returning to costco... not sure if that was lifted after some time, I could ask...

See if you can find out a ballpark figure of how much he did. That would be a useful DP.

It is likely that his returns outweighed his new purchases above their tolerance threshold.

I've returned an insane amount of stuff to Costco but every time I walk in there I drop a few hundy.
