Costco Wholesale

Costco is awesome! Sometimes I seem to save money on things I may not necessarily need, but Costco has so many interesting deals that are not found elsewhere that I always walk away feeling good about my purchases.
I primarily shop at Costco for bulk food purchases. With a Costco membership, you will need storage space; toilet paper, paper towel, canned goods, and if you have a deep freeze the deals on frozen goods or fresh meats are also great.
My top picks are the Lactose free milk cartons (cheaper than anywhere else), fresh Salsa in the refrigerated section, and Balderson Cheese! There is also a Food Bank basket located between the doors at the front of the store; I highly recommend grabbing a bulk package of KD or a canned soup bundle to drop off on your way out.

Costco Canada is ok, but their online ordering and processes leaves a lot to be desired. This (West Hunt Road) is Costco Canada’s HQ (Corporate) Location. I obtained it from an email I received from them recently regarding an issue. I am surprised it is not listed in Unilocal.
With the no agreement and termination of business relationship with American Express, coupled with their rather «painful» activation process of Costco Cash Cards, I can’t say too many good things about the business side of things. You see, I have dealt with Costco USA HQ, I have ordered US Costco Cash Cards. Unlike in Canada, where you have to wait two days to get your Costco Cash Card activated when received by mail, you also have to contact Costco during regular business hours, M-​F, to 5 PM. In contrast, with Costco USA, you simply call their 800 number, activate, and you’re done. You’re on your way. Your card is fully activated. No waiting. Of course, if you buy in-​store, you don’t have to wait.
Furthermore, Costco Canada doesn’t listen to customer feedback. For example, Costco Canada discontinued a brand of Wonton Noodle Soup that is still available in the USA. They replaced it with a simple, smaller portion, same priced, Wonton soup without the noodles. This was a great seller, especially in Chinese dominated cities like Vancouver and Richmond.
Although Costco [Canada] is king in terms of their return policies, they certainly lack in other areas that are also very important.
