Costco tire center

I purchased close to $1, 000 for my tires last year at Costco, it took a long time before it shipped to me. My tires lights was on prior to today and when I call to get in they would always be booked. I had to take it to another place because i needed to get it checked and they fixed it . The lights came on again this Friday morning on the 27th. I went into Costco Covington on the 28th Saturday hoping to squeeze me in, they said they were booked and scheduled me on Sunday the 29th at 3:30pm, in the meantime they told me to pull next to the garage so they can temporary fill the air on my tire for me. Which I did and my tire lights did not alert once the air was put in my tires. Today I went back to Covington Costco for my 3:30 appointment and did some shopping and came back to the tire center because the technician called me. He said when he took my patch off my tire someone else patched my tires and messed it up and he was not able to patch it up again and I would need to pay for another tire and the warranty would not be covered. I told him I do not recall my tires being patched but i did take it to a tire center that was available when Costco is always busy to get in. He said he can not patch my tires back and i would need to get new tires, he did offer me a reduce price but now I need to drive my car with a donut for a week. SINCE Costco did not have my tire in stock, I drive an hour to work and back everyday on the highway, my son has soccer practice two days a week and I have to drive a distance to his game on Saturday. ON top of this all, I pick up my oldest son after I get off work which is 25 miles away from home and back. Since I have to drive with a donut for a week, the technician told me I would need to drive 55 miles or under on the Highway. I never drove with a donut before and I am worried, the technician asked if i have another car to drive. I am a single mom and i do not have another car to drive, this is my main car and now I feel not safe having to drive a donut and I am hoping that my tires would come in sooner. If Costco saw the patch, they should never have removed the patch and looked in the system to see if Costco had did the patch, but the technician took the patch off and than said that the tire was done somewhere else wrong and refused to patch it up. Next time when you see a patch, please look in the your Costco system first to see if it was done by you before touching it and removing the patch and than coming to me saying that it will not be covered by warranty, I felt vulnerable and no other choice than to buy another tire and now I feel unsafe and will be nervous driving a whole week until my tire comes in. This is a lesson learn to not buy from Costco tires if I knew that I would experience this.

Costco rana grilled white chicken & portobello mushroom sauce

This isn't technically a complaint on the product itself.
But I noticed you had an asterisk on the tag in the store, which means you are discontinuing it. It is sku number 1102200. And the upc number is [protected]

Why are u discontinuing this. This is one of the best products in your store! And it sells hugely.

Please bring it back, either with the same product, or have a private label supplier get it to you under your own store brand name.

Thank you.

Costco casper mattress

I ordered CasperKing Size Mattress from Costco Online.

Twice Costco shipped me the wrong size Casper King Mattress. First time 74x76, second time 76x78.
Specifications on Casper website for this mattress is
King, 76" W x 80" L x 12" H, Hybrid: 134 lbs, Foam: 104 lbs

Costco box also describes the King size as 76" W x 80" L x 12" H

I called Costco Online for the return process both the times.

First time Cost sent someone to pick up the mattress, which was rolled on our bed . Second time, when I got the wrong size, I called Costco Customer Service and the rep insists that we take it to UPS or if we want UPS to pick it up then we roll it and box it as UPS will not take it if it is not boxed.

The Costco Casper mattress is a boxed item, that is compressed using some technique to fit in the box, and is delivered in Vans.
How am I supposed to roll over 100 lbs 76x78x12 mattress, box it, and haul all by myself from my bedroom on level 2 to my door?

I want Costco to pick up the mattress from my bedroom, and refund my full amount for the mattress.

Costco simply (litter) purrfect cat litter

I have purchased this cat litter from Costco for a decade and LOVED the clean mild lemon grass scent. My cats loved it too. As a pet sitter and involved in cat rescue, the right cat litter is very important. I ALWAYS recommended this cat litter to new adopters and clients. But...then I noticed a few months ago when I refilled the cat box, I could not smell the lemon grass, and even worse, it was extremely dusty. My cats and I both liked the sutle lemon grass mild scent as its not overpowering, but just smells fresh. But it gets worse, when I tried to scoop out the pee it would barely clump and all broke apart. What the heck? Thought maybe I somehow I got a bad batch, and was looking forward to buying more of the regular good stuff. Wrong! Ever since then, EVERY SINGLE JUG is super dusty and the lemon grass scent is gone! I think most cat owners are willing to pay a little more if the cost to produce the original stuff increased. You cant put a price on a dust free, clean smelling home. PLEASE go back to the original formula. Until then, I will never ever it use it again, and will definitely not recommend to anyone.

That is funny you said that. I too have been buying this for the last 10 years and complained about the lack of smell years ago and it got better. My last two batches I purchased are dusty, not much smell, and huge rock size clumps in the container that looks more like rocks. I have since emailed them and am waiting for a response back.

Costco optical

I called the Costco Optical phone number and, although the optometrist is still on the Costco directory, the practice is no longer affiliated with Costco. I then called the Costco optical phone number back to speak to someone at the optical department to ask if I can take in a prescription in from any doctor. The lady that answered the phone cut me off gave me very rude one word answers like I was bothering her. Her tone was very unprofessional. I will not be going their for glasses even though I have been going there for years! After asking the employee for her managers name, her tone changed and she mentioned his name was David.

This was the most unprofessional call I've ever had, she was rude, had a bad attitude and tone and was very condescending. I apologize I do now know this I haven't had an eye appointment in a year but calling to ask for information should not be a bad experience. The doctors office who explained to me they were not affiliated with Costco was very helpful and apologized for the inconvenience. Costco however did not seem to care about the situation.

Costco bonne maman pates de fruits

Bought their 21oz (600g) container of candies yesterday on the basis of a sample at my local Costco. (tasty, 27.5 calories per piece, pretty natural ingredient list - nice)

The container lists 4 flavors: 'Strawberry, Orange, Apricot, Apple Cinnamon' in that order on 3 sides and the top and bottom of the can, and also says 'Contains about 75 PIECES'.

I assumed that the 4 listed flavors would be pretty equally distributed, so maybe 18-20 of each flavor with perhaps slightly less of the last one listed, Apple Cinnamon.

Sadly this was not the case: when I opened the can at home there were 30 orange, 20 strawberry, 20 apple cinnamon and only 5 apricot - which happens to be my favorite flavor of the 4, and the main reason I purchased the container.

The candies are good, so I'll be keeping the container. But I'm definitely not going to buy this again, and I've learned my lesson about assuming things, even at Costco.

Never posted a complaint before in my 20+ years as a very satisfied Costco member (and as things go this isn't a serious complaint); do appreciate this forum being provided for members!

Costco customer service

Hello this is Mary Blue I come to your La Mesa Location last week the 18th. This location is the closest to my home. On this day I was belittled, embarrassed, and humiliated. The lady at your out side cash register stated that my money wants real and that I couldn't get my food. Mined you I just came from the bank and had nothing but hundreds on me just bought stuff inside. I just wanted a hot dog and drink for me and my mom. I started crying going to my car in disbelief that because of how I look I can't have to money I had. I even confirmed the the money was real inside and she still wouldn't take it. It's been a week and I still don't feel comfortable going to that location. I think that there should be more training for the cashiers and the proper tools. No one should ever go through what I went through ever.
Sincerely Mary Blue

Costco discriminatory service

I just left your Columbia store this evening (09/25/2019) in disgust. I picked up two Olay body wash that Costco has on sale (limit 2). Your cashier (Karen) insisted that she was not going to sell the items to me because she thought thatI just purchased the same items a few minutes before. I told her that she was mistaken, moreover, she could find out if my membership card had purchased the said items. She called in Brandon, whom she was taking her cue from, and he also told me that I was not going to be able to purchase this item. The manager, Chuck also told me that I had purchased the item earlier without any sort of confirmation. I told him that I had not, and offered for him to verify with my card. I have also noticed of recent that certain groups of people are treated differently at this store by certain Costco staff. I did inform Chuck of my observation, his response was both shocking and insulting. He actually wanted to interrogate me at the cash register, but I politely declined to answer him. I have had Costco executive membership (#[protected]) for several years and shop regularly at this store. I was finally allowed to purchase my items after your staff wasted my time and publicly embarrased me.I believe that Costco's reputation cannot and should not be tarnished by some misguided staff. I think Costco's management should be aware of this very disturbing trend in this store.

Costco employees

I'm not a member of Costco but I've been going to Concord, Ca Costco for about a month now to the food court almost everyday. But this one particular day I decided I wanted to see what they got so I walked around found some things I wanted to purchase but as I was shopping an security man approached me and said to me "are you member I tell him no he says cause I know what your trying to do with your big bag and all I say what is that he say just come on miss I'm trying to be nice now put everything back and leave the store so I do as he says but while he's escorting me out of the store I ask him how can I become a member he tells me you can't afford it. Now I don't know about you but I feel like the whole situation was discriminating and rude I was so upset that I was going to sue them for discrimination and whatever else I could but decided not to instead I told my friends and family (which by the way is a lot of them) about what happened and most if them decided to cancel their membership. And one more thing about your Costco employees. Next to the store is an security empty field where a homeless couple decided to camp at. They knew it was private property but there was no where else for them to go. Now they had been harassed yelled at cursed at and even lied on by Costco employees. Thats when the police got involved and the couple were told to move (they were given three days) they tried to keep the area clean as possible but being homeless and having homeless friends you accumulated a lot of unwanted things so they put it in a pile to take away when possible but Costco didn't even give them a chance or even talk to the couple about the situation they called the city of Concord, Ca homeless abatement team and had them and their personal belongings removed. Now I'm not saying the couple was right but things could've been handled differently in so many ways. But I don't have all bad things to say about this Costco. See one day I go to the food court likely I always did for lunch and my credit card just wouldn't work and one of the food court workers named Suzanna helped me out she took it upon herself to purchase my meal for me. I see her every time I come in, working hard doing her job. I just wanted to say thank you Suzanna for your kindness one day i will show you my appreciation. I'm sitting at the food court now

Costco delivery using innovel logistics and costco customer service

Poor service. First time, driver didn't show up, driver lied to the company's call center employee about his whereabouts. Second time driver changed the time at the last moment. They rushed up the delivery. Very rude. No knowledge about the product. InnovelLogistics gives 2 hours window for the delivery before one day but it is highly unlikely that they will come as scheduled. Driver is supposed to call 30 mins in advance, but they don't do that.

Costco should really consider other options to deliver appliances. Surprisingly, Costco's online order customer service after the incident was also not good.

Costco simply purrfect

I've been purchasing and using Litter Purrfect and now Simply Purrfect litter from Costco for probably over 10 years and until the last year or so I have been extremely pleased. However, I have noticed a continual decline in this product over the last year or so. It no longer controls the odor and the clumping is very hit a miss. Sometimes it clumps the urine and other times there is just a large, unclumped puddle of urine that then will not scoop our with the litter scoop, as it just falls thru the sifting slots. Additionally, and there is sooo much dust my cats have begun coughing when they are using it and everything in the cat room is covered with the powdery dusk. I have put off writing any sort of review for several months, but have finally gotten to the point that I feel Costco and any new consumers (as those using it obviously already are aware) should know about these issues. I am looking at changing the brand of litter I use by trying others on the market. I sincerely hope Costco informs Simply Purrfect to go back to an older formula so that I may continue to purchase the product knowing it will do the trick. Thank you for your time.

Costco citi costco visa card

We've been Costco members for about 30 years and dutifully switched to the Citi Visa card when Costco no longer accepted American Express. The Citi card offers great rewards for travel related purchases, that is, if you can use it. Unfortunately for us, Citi cancelled our cards (no fault of our own) within a few weeks of an 11 month dream trip to Australia and New Zealand. We are big spenders and pay 100% of all our credit card balances each month. Australia has many Costco locations we planned to use. Before leaving the USA, we provided the travel alerts to Citi. This is a more cumbersome process than Capital One, Chase or American Express. Two weeks into our trip my card was declined at a store. I called Citi from Alice Springs, AU and got a message that their system was down and to try again later. I tried the international number again the next day. It takes about 5-10 minutes to get to a representative. Citi cancelled my card for an insufficient reason and said they would send a replacement. I told the rep not to because we would not be available to receive it and we would use my husbands card. However the rep did anyway. Of course, the cards were unable to be forwarded and went back to Citi. Citi then cancelled my husband's card. I called Citi and was told their system was down for another 4 hours and to call back. I did call back and spoke with a manager who was very apologetic but he could not resolve the issue. I wonder about the cost of international calls on my mobile phone. Too bad Citi mobile app doesn't allow for WiFi chat/email communications. Bottom line is don't count on Costco Citi Visa for travel. Thank goodness we have other reliable credit cards.

Costco front end manager

When I got to your store there were only 3 Mangoes left. I asked an employee and they said that as there were no more, that these would probably be thrown out. When I tried to buy them when checking out, I was told that Costco only sells these in groups of 6 and if there aren't 6 that she would not sell them to me. Thus she would rather throw them out then let me have them. Sad to have customer service so unhelpful.

Costco Customer service experience

Hi,
I know your store is only for members. However, one of your members loaned me her card to buy some items for family members that were affected by hurricane Dorian in The Bahamas. We picked up about 3 carts of mostly toiletries and laundry products worth close to $900. I got to the self check out line, I proceeded to scan the membership card and I was approached by one of your staff that I had too many items to be scanned at the self check out. He asked about the membership card and I told him it was not mine, it was loaned to me to get some supplies for family in the Bahamas. He eye scanned the card and said, " you don't know this is a membership store and I can not use the card." He called his manager/supervisor and the supervisor lectured us about store policies but he will send me to a line and allow me to pay for the items only if I was using my debit card not my credit card. I told him fine, I will pay with my debit card. They all acted as if I stole something / stole the card. One of the supervisor stayed at the cashier the entire time to see if I was paying debit, then proceeded to tell me he was taking the card and I should have the owner picked it up. I said to him, " do you think I stole the card?" He gave an excuse that it is an old card. The cashier handed the card back. I ended leaving the store and paying the bill for 854.92 to be exact. This is not how you a paying customer. If all it took was that I get membership I could have paid. They could have offered me a membership instead try to make a big deal. They're good people in the world and this young lady was doing good by lending me her card. Even if I was interested in membership, I think I would think twice about the service I got today. There was no interaction whatsoever from the cashier. All she did was scanned my items and no customer service. Just bad service.

Costco citibank credit card

I had a membership through American Express. Citibank sent me a card which I did not ask for. I called them to cancel card. When Costco charged the membership to that card I was not notified. I never recieved an invoice from Citibank. Wrong email they told me. Unpaid balance accrued with knowledge. Credit reporting agencies dropped my score 150 points overnight. I called Citibank and though they are admitting fault cannot restore my credit score. I want this resolved asap!

Costco floral delivery

A floral bouquet purchased through Costco was delivered by UPS Next Day Air Saver to my home this afternoon, Sept. 6th. The instructions requested delivery on the 4th. and in at least 3 places it said to knock or ring bell. The box was left at the end of our long driveway. No notification was given. The temperature this afternoon was 97 degrees! The bouquet was hot to the touch. The pad holding the stems was dry and hot. The large white lily stem, 3 blooms, was dry. One of the spider mum heads was off. I know this was not an inexpensive arrangement and my son was disappointed to learn about the delivery. Linda Muxworthy

Costco member services department

Hello, on 9/3 around 5:45 PM I went to the member services desk because I forgot my card. I had changed purses and I forgot to put my cards back into my purse. There was 2 people at the counter, one person ahead of me and one behind me. I really didn't pay much mind to who the lady (Asian shoulder length hair )was helping but she was back and forth. There was an African American lady back there as well speaking to an elderly lady at the end of the desk. At one point there is a lady who was with two men, she seemed to be getting a card, she had to take her picture twice, I'm not sure what happened but she was there a while, the person ahead of me got his turn. By this time we were waiting a good 20 minutes. I could hear "Diego" giving him some information and going over it, telling him something about his phone, an app, I assume. Meanwhile the line is getting longer. The man behind me is getting impatient as well as I. The African American Lady finishes her conversation and heads over to answer a question at the return desk. About 30 minutes have gone by, Diego calls me over. He asks if I was waiting long, I reply "yes". He starts to hand me a form, he says well i just want to go over this new thing Costco is doing. I let him know that I'm not interested. I let him know that I have been waiting for over 30 minutes and I let him know that those people in the line have also been waiting and I don't want to go over the information. I would like to get may pass so he can get to the people behind me. He says, ok, but this is going to help you, when you leave your card at home. I say again to him, thanks, but I'm not interested right now, I would like my pass please. He continues, yes, but this will help you, all you do is. I say to him two other times, I am not interested. He say, Oh, your card has expired. I say to him, oh, I left my check on my refrigerator door. Can you wave it and I will come in next week and bring it with me. He says I don't think we can do that. I say, really I have done that in the past. He says, no you would have to have to pay to be able to go in. I say to him, in the past they have waved it, I come in here every week. He says, no. I ask If he can call the manager, to his left the African American lady is there, he says, here is my manager. I say of, you are the manager, she says yes. I then start to say, I left my check on my refrigerator, in the past I was able to come in the following week and bring it. She takes a quick glance toward that computer and says unfortunately, your card is expired and you need to go home and get that check or you will not be able to shop. I say to her, my son is at home, can he take a picture of the check that is on my fridge and you can scan it. She says not sorry we cant do that. I say is that a policy change, she says yes. I don't want to argue with her, I pay my membership and I left there pretty upset. I do my shopping which came to a couple hundred plus the membership. When I was at the register, I asked the cashier if when their members membership has expired and they have forgotten their check at home, do they still wave it or has that changed. There was one cashier and the helper, and they both said, no we still are able to do that. We get members that forget and we wave it and they come back and present the check. We still do that. I said to them, that lady over at the CS desk just told me she couldn't do that and made me pay for it. They both looked at each other, confused. They were very nice and helpful. I asked If I they can point me to her manager. They mentioned a name, I was waiting for my kids what were getting some food. I saw a young man and asked him if he was the manager, and he said no. I can't remember the name they gave me, it sounded like Alfredo, I want to say something Latin. This person says, he just left can I help you with something. I left him know that the manager over at the CS, said I couldn't wave the membership payment. He says, what manager was she wearing a red vest like mine? I say yes, he said, I believe she is a supervisor. I said, she said she was the manager, now I really want to speak to the manager. He called the manager, who I give him my whole story. He lets me know that they still wave if a lot of time hasn't passed, which I tell him, August is my expiration date. I let him know that she said she was the manager, he looked at me strange, and I say to him. I just found out that she is the supervisor, not a manager. He nods. I say to him, I wanted you to know. I have been shopping at Costco for over 20 years. i come in pretty much every weeks and spend hundreds of dollars most every week. I have been coming the the San Leandro for about 7 years and before that I lived in Fremont. I have forgotten my check on maybe two occasions and the manager has always let me come back. I its poor customer service to see that I have been waiting so long to get a pass only to be told that I have to go back home, or I can't shop. I know he will probably say something to her. I thought you should know. I think a simple look at the computer to see that I was a frequent member of that store to be confident that you would see me again and that there was no need to say for me to take a trip home and retrieve the check. I'm a loyal customer, and I love Costco. My name is Monica Calderon

Costco stolen property

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello. I am here to write to you because my property was stolen after shopping from Costco Business Center located in South San Francisco. July 3rd, 2019, I went shopping to buy cigarettes for my business and when I came home and parked my car, I went inside to use the bathroom and the next thing you know my car was broken into and all the items were stolen. I called the business center right away and they said they will try to look in their cameras to see any suspicious activity. We called the police and the police also helped out. I get a callback from the Business center and the lady who was helping me was really sweet and empathic with the situation and told me to come down and have a look at the cameras. I went on July 5th, 2019, she was not there but told me if she wasn't there that a guy named Jason Stonehouse will help me. He did not help me. Instead, he was being rude and told us straight up that we cannot see the camera and that it was not their problem to solve. What kind of assistant general manager does that? I am a businessman as well and I know for a fact that we do not treat customers like that. I have been calling him to help me resolve this matter and try to compensate or do something that can help me in this matter but no. Police also said that they can't do anything because they feel that it was an inside job.

I have more to say and more to show as evidence, but in order for me to send it, I need to know if you will be able to help me out in this matter. Please give me a call at [protected] or please email me at [protected]@yahoo.com.

Thanking you in this matter.

Costco women's clothing in the store.

I've been a member since the kona store has opened. The women's section of the clothing in the store is a joke. They have like two tables of women's clothing, compared to tables and tables of men's clothing. The women's clothing is always unattractive, and doesn't seem to sell, the same merchandise is there week after week because it is really ugly, and the fabrics are always poor quality. It has gotten much worse for the past 2-3 years now.

I think your regional manager has something against women that he neglects to order anything wearable for women. It is frustrating to see so much new and attractive apparel for men displayed all over the store.. And nothing for women!

Also, I know costco kona is the only game in town for food, and therefore it's easy to just carry the same tired very limited selection of food month after month. But when I go to shop and there isn't even any lettuce, or little else in the produce room, or no bread only those terrible bagels in the bread section, that means I have to go out of my way to just get basic items that every grocery store should carry.

I think someone is really dropping the ball in the kona store. The selection and the care is no longer there, management seems indifferent in the merchandising.

Sorry to complain, but otherwise the mediocre costco experience this community is stuck with may become the future norm for ever.

You can do better.

Truly,

Costco not being able to place an online order

I have a costco membership and tried to place an order online. The "system", although it connects to Canada Post and recognizes my address, will not recognize my postal code and therefore I cannot place my order. I order items all the time from other sources (i.e. Wayfair) with never an issue. Costco has now lost $1100 of my business and I will not be renewing my membership.
