Costco

I visit Louisville, KY an average of once a month to care for my 89 year old mother who suffers from dementia. I frequent the Costco at 5020 Norton Healthcare Blvd at least once during each visit. I must say that I was shocked and appalled by the unprofessional and cavalier attitude of the "lady" who checks items and receipts as you exit the store.

Not only was she rude, as she had her back to me while speaking to Ron who was working on the entrance side, but when she does turn to take my receipt, she doesn't say hello or address me at all. She then proceeds to go thru my basket with a fine tooth comb to ensure I'm not stealing anything.

Please understand, since I don't steal, it makes no difference to me that she scrutinized my cart as every item was paid for, but then, as if in disgust…

I purchased flowers from Costco for Mother's Day , this is my second time buying flowers from Costco because my first experiance was great, the flowers were exactly as advertised, this is why I returned for another purchase. The flowers I picked looked as if it was a big beautiful arrangement , they showed up the size of any store flower shop which cost anywhere between $ 15 - 20 dollars tops , I paid $ 70 for the same amount of flowers..

Costco cheated their customer with this purchase I am very disapointed and feel as though Costco needs to make it right.

I am a senior citizen with 2 really bad knees. On most of my visits to Costco, I am asked to wait over along the wall while an employee looks for a scooter. I was informed that my store had 5 scooters, which he thought was a big deal. Five scooters for a store of this magnitude, are you kidding me?!?! How about taking a survey of how many seniors and disabled people use these scooters. I am pretty sure you will be surprised.

Well while I'm at it, how about a few more handicap parking spots. You know there are a lot of us baby boomers out here. Also I have filled out a complaint form in the store before----NO ANSWER! Your consideration would be greatly appreciated.

We like the Kermanig Bakery plain pitas. Since they are not a regular stocked item, we stock up when we find them at a Costco Roadshow. We went to Costco 420 Oxnard and found out Kermanig would be at your Santa Maria Ca.

store #24 on May1-May 3. We decided to make the drive 230 miles roundtrip on Saturday morning only to find out Kermanig had run out of the plain pita product. They seem to push their flavored pitas and were not too concerned about being out of stock.

We may have to look elsewhere.

Re joined as membership had lapsed, whilst at work BMI The Chiltern Hospital 22 April 15 was given an incentive "Join Today & receive £5 voucher off identified 3 items of Free something else". Whilst stipulating my local Costco was Milton Keynes the Costco representative did not at anytime explain the voucher would not be valid other than at Reading.

The lady was very engaging but I feel quite cross at this lack of honesty, whilst the £5 is not going to break me, it's the lack of being correct in information given. Poor show Costco!!!

I have been trying to phone the online returns department for 3 weeks every time i am put on hold today i was on hold for almost 1 hour and every other time over 30 mins this has happened 7 times in total. I emailed customer care only to get a automated reply telling me to phone the number i was complaining about!

I applied for an opening at the Costco store in my town, Wichita, Ks. I have experience from working at Sam's club, but they did not wish to hire me after my first interview. I was properly dressed, spoke and answered all questions properly, I had a resume online and in person.

I live walking distance from the store, and I have open availability. I feel like it was discrimination for being a Sam's employee.

Applied a RV refinance loan with ESSEX credit as advertised in COSTCO website on 21 APR 2015. Since then I did not receive a response from them. It says on their ad that a response will be done in 2 days.

I called several times left messages to check the status, they referred me to the same person with no response. As a customer, I need to know the status, been with Costco, used services offer with no problem.

I have been shopping in Costco of Nanuet, NY since the stored opened. I have purchased the large bags of frozen strawberries for over ten years without complaint. In the last few months, the packing of the strawberries changed. No, the packing changed but the quality of the strawberries is very, very poor quality. They are tasteless.

I wrote in a complaint at the store a few weeks ago and did not get a response.

I received two baby Carter ℅ die sets size 12 months for my one year old grandson as birthday gifts, but he wears a size 18 months. Tags were on them. The employee never even looked at my items. I tried to exchange them for a bigger size but Costco would not exchange them without a receipt or the purchaser's Costco membership number. Their website nor was there a sign on the wall stating this policy.

As a matter of fact the Costco website states they will make every effort. Ha. I was astonished. I emailed Customer service. And they said there may be a safety issue or torn issue in their reply. It was like an automatic reply. It didn't make sense. I am getting no help from everyone. It's as if they make up return policies as they go along day to day. Is this legal? Please advise.

I have been a member of Costco since 11/2004. I live 5 blocks away from the location on East 117th Street. I choose to drive all the way to Yonkers not to have to deal with how unprofessinal the staff are on 117th Street.

Yesterday 4/20/15, I decided to go to the Costco on East 117th Street. While waiting in the scanning line, there was another member in front of me who had a language barrier and did not speak/understand English. The staff member there by the name of Jewel was extremely disrespectful to this member.

She yelled at the customer, and her tone was out of line. I also asked her if that line takes cash and she again yelled and disrespectfully said NO! to me. I spoke to a supervisor there who was very dismissive and said that " she is very aggresive".

Once I told him that I…

My Roomate got a costco card so we can buy supplies for our house. But when we tried to pay, they let her split the transaction so that I could pay for my items separately.

However, the clerk would not take my cash because it was from my wallet and not hers. I understand if it was my debit card but I was paying with cash to help lower the cost as she can't afford hundreds at a time.

The fact that the cashier felt it appropriate to ask if it was my cash then explained that even married couples don't get exceptions. I find that hard to believe that married couples can't use each other's card. We felt it was wrong as if the cash was in her hand she would have taken it, and she also made us feel like she was implying we are a couple which we aren't!

Horrible service and not worth the…

I have purchased your bbq cooked chicken twice over the past few years. The first one was very salty and when re-heated very soft and tasteless. I purchased another today and it tasted very very salty. I have high blood pressure and the sodium content was shocking and tasted like salt water.

I enjoy most meat and poultry products from Costco. Very disappointing and very unhealthy. com. this experience makes me wonder about the actual quality of your meat, poultry and produce.

About two weeks ago, we bought a bundle of Kirkland Signature Premium BIG roll paper towels. /ART. 512599, Scan #: 96619 72205 1. These paper towels should not be marketed as they leave residue like "lint" whenever cleaning (with Windex) any type of glass which includes windows, mirrors, TV screens, etc.

Therefore, it is probably not good to use even on counter tops, etc. I am very disappointed by the mislabelling and would like a full refund to better paper towels.

Manager at tukwila store was extremely rude at the door when I asked for temporary card. Lied to me, said he looked up my membership and it was expired when in fact it was not I shopped at the kirkland location instead whos staff verified my membership was active.

Worst costco manager at tukwila ive ever seen, and ive shopped at 5 other washington locations with pleasent experiences every time. Not going back to that location again!

Purchased a 70" TV a couple of weeks before Christmas 2014. Turns out it had a problem. Because of its size, I had to impose on someone with a big enough vehicle to bring it home. When I called concierge they thought the problem was correctable with some turn off/turn on mechanics.

The mechanics did not work and the next day I called Concierge back. They set up a conference call with the manufacturer. The Manufacturer offered to replace it or repair it. When I discussed it COSTCO's concierge assured me that if the TV was replaced the 90 day exchange would start again from the day the replacement took place.

I was also told that while one service would deliver the set, another service would then come to set it up. I was particularly interested in whether the 90 day return policy would…

On Monday March 30, 2015 I went to purchase 4 tires at your store in South Orlando, Invoice 1840161256 Membership 111841010890, a member for 15 years. The tires I had, had a little hum to them and I didn't want to drive to it from Orlando up to the other home in Maryland.

I did plan to use them on my small pick-up truck because they were like new in excellent condition. I told the first salesman that helped me to put my tires in the back of my car, he responded that he would put them in the back of my car.

After waiting on me for about a minute, he said he couldn't work any more and left. The second salesman that waited on me also agreed to put my tires back inside my car. The second salesman took my cell phone # and agreed to call me when my car was finished.

He did not call me when my…

I would like to register a complaint about the cleanliness and upkeep of your area for coffee grinding at the Costco in King of Prussia Pa. I have complained about this a few times and yesterday as in the past upon going to grind my coffee I once again saw how dirty and unmaintained this area is.

I actually never did use the grinder. They are old and filthy and need to be replaced and cleaned regulary. As a long time member of Cosco I wanted to notify you since in store complaints have not had an impact.

Hopefully this ail be addressed.

This is a complaint about Costco in Eugene Oregon. this store was built back in the 80s, now the town has grown around it. there is no place to park the traffic is heavy around the store because people drive around waiting to park.

in other words the place is a freaking rat race! In Alaska anchorage there is two and the population isn't as big as Eugene/ springfield. Eugene is one of the earliest store to open when Costco first started and now there needs to be another to handle the heavy volume that it has obtained.

someone really needs to take a look at what a madhouse it has become before some one gets hurt and law suites fly. this is not only a complaint but hopefully an eye opener for Costco to take a closer look at some of their older stores.

because a lot of people are turning…

Customer for many years. Bought a package of your sweet Italian sausage,which I have bought many times,and was very satisfied. You must have changed supplier, as this was the most tasteless sausage I ever tasted. Will no longer be purchasing.

Purchased April 2 in your riverhead ny store might add I travel from easthampton to shop there.

The Fairfax (VA) Costco decided to stop selling cigarettes only at this branch. "Valued customers" were told to go to other stores much farther away. ' Surely some small corner could be found to continue a legal substance. There were and are customers for cigarettes.

You had been doing great as far as getting organic food in. I had been buying a couple types of cheese that are from grass fed cheese but all of a sudden they are not available. One was Kerrygold and the other was this really great creamy cheddar that I can't remember the name of.

Will you be getting these back? I had been telling everyone about how good they were.

I don't have any problem with your prices, I think they are great except for your customer service. Last Saturday I went to the Optical Department to have a new pair of glasses. The lady who helped me was very rude.

I handed her my prescription and showed her that I want the Sperry top sider sunglasses. She told me that it will work for my prescription. I asked her nicely to just make sure that they will use the correct prescription with my glasses.

And she said that Costco always make sure that they give the right prescription to their customers. I told her my past experience with Costco Optical that I was given the wrong prescription in spite of me telling them that it was not the right prescription.

and she gave me a nasty look and asked me what are you doing here? I told her that I…

I arrived at the Costco in DC at 6:35 pm & they said they was closed even though you advertise. 7;00 pm. Why do I pay $100 As year got this treatment! I will be shopping at the Arlington, VA store from now on.

I dislike rude wrong people that run a poor store.

My wife and I met a MCS rep in your store in Albuquerque , and then met with there salesman at our home on 2/21/15 , we then decided have this company install a new tankless water heater and a mini split , a/c and heater . 00 .

when it came to the city inspection , the mini split failed , so had to wait to get it fixed and another inspection . Then we had an odor of gas in out home , I found a gas leak from the install of the tankless water heater , which they did come and repair a few hours after I discovered it .

But prior to this and after the install , my wife and I took a trip away from home for 4 days , can you imagine coming home and not finding your home . 00 I want no worry's but that didn't happen , I have met with there manager Sandy Adams , and she was very concerned about my…

The policy change that a pharmacy customer may no longer check out limited number of other store items is terrible. Especially when many times when you go to pick up meds they are not ready and requires wait time (sometimes only 20 min sometimes an he).

Anyway, I understand large checkouts are not possible, however if there are only a few items ( say 5/6) that do not require clerk assistance, then it is just terrible that the customer is required to go stand in another line! I had only 1 small item and was informed I could not purchase it when paying for meds.

I did some checking and There are others pharmacys that allow "other" store purchases (some are limited to 5 items). I hope that Costco pharmacy will consider customers and revisit their policy.

I was on the phone and looking around when i saw a tablet, i picked it up and was gonna take it to the cashier but first i needed to get my carpets. As i said i was on the phone looking around with the tablet at hand looking for the carpet when employee jesse walked up to me i assumed he was gonna help so

i asked for the carpets and as he walked up to me he asje if that was my tablet i answered no then he yanked it out of my hand and said we were looking for it and walked away.

I was like damm he made me feel like i was steeling the damm thing and to top ot off he didnt even help me. I have a bunch of tablets at home and i dont need another one. But i really felt crumy so i told the person i was talking to on the phone with that id call them later.

I felt so akward after that i decided…

Purchased an item which was faulty returned it and received no refund have been chasing for a refund for over a week now and still not got it, given one excuse after another as to why it was not issued they say it's because why expirey date on my card expired that's why they couldn't refund onto that, three weeks they new this and never contacted me to arrange an alternative refund form.

Only because I contacted them they said they will send a cheque instead, that's a month after I returned it! Why did they not just send it anyway, thought they would get away without doing a refund!

On March 3rd 2015 my daughter an I arrived at Costco Kapolei and got there as the doors opened. It was not so busy yet so it was turning out to be a good shopping day. We arrived at the check out and ended up with a $600 dollar transaction.

00 and my daughter was going to pay with her MasterCard. Well MasterCard is not excepted at Costco. 00 on her and said she was going to run to her car to get some more cash. I felt embarrassed. It is humiliating to be left standing in a line with someone else waiting behind you.

I apologized to the man behind us. Then Mike the man that was on the customer service podium yelled out "Oh no, holding up lines here! " So the cashier voided me…

Firstly ordered cooker from another company (seprate complaint) refused to fit in cooker even though it was the same spec. So went to currys on line, spoke to James, explained what happend, ordered another cooker, promised it would be delivered, Friday 13th, between 14:40/18:40.

At 6:15pm driver phoned said wont be delivering as ran out of delivery hours. Mother rang me in tears, Customer Services did not care, did not go out of their way to support her at all. Said delivery Monday to myself, chased up, only to be a lie.

cancelled order, still no cooker, mother very upset.

Today, we purchased a bag of pears and when we got them home discovered that they were rotten. This isn't the first time recently that we purchased produce that had to be returned. I know that there will be no problem returning them.

The problem is that the Costco store is 25 miles from our home and that means at least a 50 mile round trip and we are on a ever decreasing fixed income and we really cannot afford to bring stuff back every time there is something wrong with it.

I purchased Kirkland King Crab legs at a cost of $28.42 for a celebration dinner for my wife and was sickened by the taste.Both of us were some what ill and unmable to finish the meal..I am requesting a refund for the price of the crab legs and the tax.The.Date of purchase02/27/2015.I would like to know how to claim compensation.

Be careful when you buy oranges, there's always bad and moldy ones at the bottom of the box. I tried to get at least a parcial refund for the bad ones, and they say that it has to be half of the box bad to get a refund. Wtf?

so they refused to give me any refund. What a bad a demeaning customer service experience with Ena in the doral, Miami location. She doesn't get that you need to give people a refund when you sell moldy produce. For sure I'm not renewing my membership next year

I bought 4 tires for my Volvo XC90 from costco in Jan 2012 for $1215. As recommended by Costco, the tires were rotated at the Costco tire center, approx every 7500 miles. The last time I serviced the car at Volvo, the Volvo representative told me the tires had to be replaced. I took the car to Costco and complained that the tires had approx. 20000 miles and there supposed to be a 50000 mile warranty.

The Costco employee came up with all kind of excuses in order to avoid honoring the warranty, claiming the the tires were not evenly used. I responded that if the tires were not even, why wasn't I informed about that when I brought the car for the tire balance and/or rotation on 6/6/2012, or 9/29/2012. Without any explanation the Costco employee named Salvador, refused to honor the warranty,…

Case number CNM121231810643. When it comes to customer service please know that I know what I'm talking about because that has been my profession for many years. I have never, ever experienced such blatantly rude customer service.

I bought a TV as a Christmas gift and it had no screws or any hardware in the box so I called the 1 888 number for Canada and there I met the rudest people ever. The first two people I spoke with could not care less.

One told me that I had to return the TV because it was Costco’s problem but the box was sealed when I got it. The other one told me to call the Canada number but this was listed as the Canada Number. I asked where she was located and she said Panama.

The best way for you to get the picture would be to listen to the recordings and that will tell…

I've been picking up items for my daughter at Costco for past 3 years, well she just moved into her new house and began unpacking the items for kitchen. Unfortunately the knife set is missing one of the knives . I would appreciate some information as to how I can complete this knife set, without additional out of pocket expense.

Thank you for your attention to matter.

I have been with Costco for just about 25 years, I was so excited to finally get a Costco by my new home location.

However, the management team at the location in San Dimas, CA, has a problem picking Supervisors whom are just not trained properly! So much so that their return policy states if you are not satisfied with a product to return it!

Well, in my case it has been with fruit, my pineapple will be no good in the middle I don't find out till I cut it, or I buy strawberries only for them to turn bad in a couple of days and then I have to return them. Today I was told by a supervisor named Heather, where she responded out loud " I will not approve this to be returned we have a policy and it looks like you are aware of this policy" I was in a good mood, I just listen to her did not reply…

On April 3, 2013 I went to San Jose Costco and I just purchased a box of Del Monte Variety Pack Mixed Fruits and when I opened it just now on April 4 2013 at 17:33 pm, it was moldy inside the fruit cups. So I am filing a complaint against Costco for the spoiled product I purchased.

On Oct.2,2012(Tuesday),I went to Costco(976,3rd Ave.Brooklyn New York) with 2 friends who are frequent Costco customers.We finished shopping at around 11:35am. After leaving the cashier,we ordered something to eat from the only place we could order food.

After we placed our order,I decided to add one more item,so while the staff serving us was tapping in the price of each item,I quickly asked "Could I add a latte mocha freeze?" and was going to apologize for the inconvenience,but by the time I was up to the word "latte", she didn't look at me but shook her head as if indicating I couldn't add that to my order,while her expression was rude and unfriendly.

I stopped and looked at my friend,we were both in disbelief.I continued to finish what I wanted to say but she already added the item…

On your Board, I Saw your office hour is : M-F 10:00am - 8:30pm Sat. 9:30am - 7:00pm Sun. 10:00am - 7:00pm, but you close at 6 on May 4th. are you kidding me? I have to drive half an hour to there.

it cost my time and money. especially the photo shop, it closed much earlier. I go to there because your staffs are cheap, but you played me as fool. I pay you over $100 for the membership a year ,but you hurt me.

Equinox Kayaks has not responded to my 14 emails regarding replacement scupper plugs. The original plugs are easily broken under "normal use". In order to remove the plugs from the kayak after using in the water the cord willrip out the holes and then you need to use pliers to get them out.

I need to get new plugs but have NEVER recieved a reply from them.

I went to the costco in Garden Grove and found it to be very unpleasant. I found an elderly white woman working at the sample station screaming at a young Asian boy to not touch the sample. I was highly disgusted by her actions.

Following this, I ran into several white employees that were very rude and bias on serving people at their station. You can guess who they served it to first, not to mention when I tried to get one, they were lecturing me on lines when in fact everyone who was Caucasian seemed to have just formed a circle.

Now lets get to the people at the cashier, the one that helps the cashier are extremely rude in telling you to go stand over there when you haven't even finished putting all your stuff on the counter. I recommend the store train their staff and employees…

Whenever an item is sold that may come with a subscription (Virus software, warranty, etc.) or an extended warranty it has been my experience that I'm being charged from day 1 of the sale even though the item may not arrive at my house for several weeks.

The correct way to do this is start the subscription or warranty the day it is installed at it's destination. This way the countless people paying for services are getting the full value and not losing 5-10 % because they don't have the product in hand.

If everyone buying warranties and subscriptions loses 2-4 weeks of the time they paid for who is making out like a bandit?

It is not the consumer.

Anyone else have this type of situation. Maybe you did and didn't even notice it which is what they want to happen. Who will complain about…

I went to Costco to schedule a wheel balance and tire rotation.They did the paperwork at around 10:35 am ,December 18,2012.I was told that it will take them 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours for the wait because I am the fourth customer on line. After almost around 12:15 pm while waiting inside their store ,they said they cannot perform the service because I am missing 3 lug nuts in front-right side passenger side.

I was puzzled and amazed how I can loose three lug nuts in front of my car.I told them I got 3 old spare lug nuts that I pulled inside my car .They just put the 3 lug nuts that I have and never done any service and I was told by one of the employees that "Have a NICE dAY". I was really furious how those missing lug nuts happened because I will feel the vibration on my wheels if…

I use a Costco American Express card to shop whenever I can to get a rebate. Last fall my hospital where I worked as a physician went into receiver ship causing me and a number of other physicians, nurses and other employees to loss their positions.

I then received an offer to work for the US Army as a contract physician. I barely had enough money to make it to Fort Bragg to work. I literally made it there on a wing and prayer. My sister and a friend from medical school gave me gas and food money.

My friend even paid for a car repair so that I could make it to Ft Bragg. Once I started receiving paychecks as a civilian employe I began making payments to everyone I owed. It took a number of months to start getting checks from the locums agency.

Expecting to receive a rebate at the end of…

My complaint about Cosco # 1166 In North Planfiel NJ. It took me over 30 minutes to find a jar of grape jelly and salad dressing. This is unacceptable. Store not have a guide of products in any of the hallway, you have to go hallways after hallways to find what you need. Besides the person who puts the products on the shelves never ends with their work because they have to guide other people like me to get the desired product. we were four people waiting for assistance.

The most intolerant excuse that is heard by a manager of the store is not put Guides products in the corridors because they want customers go through the store altogether and so will not would forget anything .... But best of all was when he told me that from time to time change location products for customers not memorize…
