Found a fly in my seals Costco croissants box

I took a video of yall are interested, but decided to just post the photo. The box was fully closed and sealed and I saw a fly in there. Would I be able to get a refund? I have the video of the box being fully sealed and the fly walking around in there and none of the croissants have been eaten/touched.

Question about Returning TV's?

I bought a TV about 3-4 years ago from Costco for around $300. The TV has been fine until recently where the picture if flickering.

I've heard for years Costco has a great return policy on TV's but unsure what they allow these days. Unfortunately I no longer have the receipt. Will Costco let me return the item or exchange it for a new TV? I just want to understand what choices I have.

Kirkland smoked salmon at Costco has changed?

Has anyone else noticed that the Kirkland smoked salmon at Costco has changed?

I’m in the San Francisco Bay Area, and for years we’ve been buying the Kirkland smoked salmon every week. Until recently, the package said it was “produced in the Netherlands,” which I understood to mean it was made by Foppen.

This week, I noticed the packaging looks slightly different and now says “produced in Poland.” The ingredient list also seems different, and honestly, the taste is not the same. It does not taste like the Foppen product we’re used to.

Does anyone know if this switch is temporary, or if Costco has permanently changed suppliers for this item?

Also, has anyone seen the Netherlands-produced version at other Costco locations, or through other retailers like Sam’s Club?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Primo water delivery service any good?

A sales rep just told me that they fixed some issues with several companies involved that went bankrupt about 6 months ago or something weird? How has it been for everyone. Are there mystery charges and surprise increases and all that still that I read about from before 6 months ago?

Anybody else incapable of just buying a soda?

Sometimes I really just want a soda, but it's hard to justify a soda for 79 cents when for an additional 71 cents, you can get a hot dog to eat, either then or later.

Anyone else have this internal dilemma?

Costco's own street in Sunnyvale, CA!

Thought you Redditors would appreciate this, Costco in Sunnyvale, CA has it's own street named after it (because it's a street that leads to the parking lot, and has a stoplight intersection to control traffic, I guess). Parking lot is a tough one to navigate, though, and always has been.

Casper mattress return after nearly 7 years

In short, purchased 2019. Casper foam mattress looks great no stains, no sagging, or anything. Started getting itchy in the past few months. Went over usual suspects, no bedbugs, no changes in detergents. Came across possible fiberglass concerns. Cover says it can be taken off. Apparently the fire retardant sock under the mattress cover is fiberglass and the surface on top off the mattress has worn down and started coming through the surface.

Looking through other people’s experiences, they have been able to get Casper to send a new mattress though it takes a few weeks of back and forth.

Would it be terrible to return this to Costco after 7 years to save the hassle?

Butter Standardization treaty…

It would appear that Costco on the west coast has adopted
East coast butter stick sizing. Yes, that is a thing. I bought a butter extruder last year and the Western Stubby sticks wouldn’t fit. The eastern Elgin sticks fit like a charm, just in time for corn on the cob season!

Lost Green Card at Costco – San Francisco

Lost Green Card at Costco – San Francisco
Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone can help me.
I lost a small red/burgundy wallet yesterday at Costco, 450 10th St, San Francisco, CA 94103.
The most important item inside is my U.S. Green Card. My bank cards have already been locked, so I’m mainly hoping to recover my Green Card and the wallet.
If anyone found it or has any information, please send me a private message. Replacing a Green Card is a long and expensive process, so I would be incredibly grateful for any help.
No questions asked. I just want my Green Card back.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

Costco vs Normal Grocery Store

Does Costco sell lower food quality items or b grade food items vs other stores? I’m only asking cause every time my son goes through his hyper fixations on different foods, I tell myself I’m gonna save money by buying in bulk at Costco. And then I always get sent off with “it tastes different” or “I don’t like the taste”.

Normally I just would be like eh, whatever. But now my freezer is filled with food he won’t eat. For example, I will buy maybe a box or two of Dino nuggets at Target and then he hyper fixates so I decide I’ll go to Costco to save money but everytime he says he doesn’t like it. Same with hot pockets, chips, tortillas, bread etc…

It’s driving me insane. Do other people feel this way or is it just him that thinks everything from Costco tastes different every time…?

Edit to add: These are same exact brands **not different brands**. He is autistic and has a heightened sense of taste and smell. And yes, I can continue to buy at normal stores. I was just wondering if other people ever noticed differences or was it just him.

I wish I had waited and not used Costco Concierge for TV return

I realize this may be a less common situation but I'm still annoyed and want to vent, with the hopes someone else might learn from my situation.

I bought a 65" Sony OLED TV in June 2024 for $1500 on sale as the new models were due out the next day. As with most TVs at my Costco warehouse, they included the Allstate additional 3 year warranty for free.

In May of this year my OLED panel developed 2 bright pixels that caused a vertical line when lit up. So I put in a warranty claim and was told by Allstate that since it's not quite 2 years old, I should go through Costco Concierge.

After 45 minutes on the phone with Costco Concierge, they make an appointment to send someone out. After staying home from work to let the TV guy look at it, it's (obviously) determined that it's an OLED panel defect and not repairable.

Weeks go by and after a few logistical hiccups, they approved my claim, which apparently means returning the TV to the store.

Which is where my gripe comes in. I only get refunded the purchase price, which isn't enough to buy the replacement TV, because I bought it on sale.

And had I just waited another month and put in the claim through Allstate, they'd have just shipped me a replacement or offered replacement cost, and I wouldn't have to pony up the extra cash to buy the equivalent replacement TV, or go through the return hassle, much less the time spent on the phone and a day off work.

So that's basically the lesson. If you bought a TV on sale and you're near the 2 year threshold, consider waiting and going through Allstate rather than Costco Concierge.

Please help me with a new membership

I had a Costco membership that expired. I got another membership and used a different email when purchasing through Groupon so I only have a membership number.

Should I create a new account due to the difference in emails?

Thank you

Customer service said they didn’t have a certain product at their store, but they did

A few weeks ago I was shopping at Costco and I saw an item that I was interested in but I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the money at that time. I have been going to Costco long enough to know that if you see something you like you should buy it then because it might not be there the next time you go back, but I took the risk and didn’t buy it. Then earlier this week I was again shopping at Costco and decided I would see if they still had the item I wanted. I couldn’t find it so I figured they had either sold out of it or they were no longer stocking it. After I got home, I went into the app to see if maybe I could still order it online. It was actually out of stock online but to my surprise it said that it was in stock at my local store. The next day I went back to Costco to look for it again, figuring that I didn’t look good enough before, but I still couldn’t find it. I went to the customer service desk and showed them that the app said that the item was available in the store and asked them if they could tell me where to find it. The agent at the desk wasn’t sure but asked someone else who was supposedly familiar with that item and she said that they didn’t have it at that store, despite what the app said. I left the customer service desk but before I left the store I looked at the app again and it gave me an option to order the item for same day delivery, which is powered by Instacart, so I tried ordering it that way to see what would happen. I kind of expected the Instacart shopper to come back and say that the item was not available, but lo and behold later that day the shopper somehow found the item and delivered it to my house despite customer service saying they didn’t have it. So I guess the shopper was a lot better at finding something than I was, though I’m not sure why customer service insisted they didn’t have it but they actually did.
