Costco Reviews

COSTCO Well today was the day I ran out of washing powder, I know it sounds silly but since I first went to Costco three years ago I refuse to spend so much on washing powder and fabric softener that the supermarkets what us to pay. Before you think that its been three years that this powder has lasted, don’t be silly, I would ...  Read the complete review

Costco is a Cash and Carry place that lets ordinary plebs in at certain times for a fee... If corner shop owners shop in here I don't know how they make any money as most of the stuffis cheaper in ASDA anyway. The signing up process is quite a palaver, you need umptenn kinds of ID , you have to have some semblance of respectability in your ...  Read the complete review

If you're a business owner or anyone of a multitude of professions, then you too can join Costco. A US based company, Costco specialises in cash & carry but at a level pitched somewhere between Joe Public & Wholesaler. Roll up and you'll see families buying a new TV right alongside someone with pallet loads of Coke for their ...  Read the complete review

I was first taken to Costco a couple of years ago by a friend. To be honest I quite liked being able to get into this "exclusive" club. I went a couple more times prior to joining and now there are certain products I wouldn't consider buying from anywhere else. (Meat for example.) As a teacher many of my colleagues are ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Toshiba DVD player from Costco in December 2001. It developed a fault in August 2002 and I contacted Toshiba to arrange repair. Toshiba UK informed me that the supplier holds the warranty for the first year and to get in touch with Costco to arrange repair. Easier said than done. On calling Costco, Glasgow. I had the phone ...  Read the complete review

"You should write an opinion about Costco", stated my better half. "Why on earth should I do that, when a dozen or so people have already beaten me to it?" I enquired. "Because you're clever. And you're nice. And you know everything there is to know about Costco" came the reply. OK, so not ...  Read the complete review

I am one of the lucky ones who is allowed to join this huge store full of goodies. We paid an annual fee of £24 to become a member. Unfortunatly there are a select few who are allowed to join. For example, my husband works for Royal mail so he was admitted. Anyone who has professional job like Lawyer, pharmacist, surveyor, anyone with ...  Read the complete review

I visited Costco in Thurrock for the first time yesterday. I was totally impressed by the range of goods on offer covering everything from food, electrical equipment, linen,clothing, furniture, toys etc. You name it they have it. The pricing is incredible. for example twelve 1.5 litre bottles of evian water for under £4. Other ...  Read the complete review

Costco is a wonderful way to shop if you are shopping in bulk either for business or if you have a large family. We in the United States love a bargain (hey who dosn't?) Well stores like costco area great value because they allow you to buy alot of one product and you pay less when when you purchase more. This store would not be a bargain to ...  Read the complete review

I love this place, I am not a regular shopper here perhaps twice a month but each time I go the boot of my car is nearly on the ground. For those who have never been here before here is a short descrption. It is really like a supermarket except you need to buy a card which is about £25 for a year. In Costco most food stuffs are really ...  Read the complete review

I've visit Costcos occaisonally with a friend who is a member. It seems quite similiar to Makros in that it sells individual products ranging from bakery products and clothes to electronics and car tyres(!) alongside bulk cash and carry type stuff. I wouldn't pay the £20 odd myself to join as I don't visit often enough to make ...  Read the complete review

My family stated shopping at Costco's about 3/4 years ago, when a family friend introduced us to the idea. Since then we make a trip there at least once every 2 months sometimes more. I got married a year and half ago and most of the items we needed for the reception, including paper cups, plates, bowls etc came from Costo as we ...  Read the complete review

A good wholesalers this one ,in my opinion. iIhave only been here a few times as where I live it is not easily accessible so we tend to stock up every time we are there. I find that some things there are great value where other things are not that good compared to the average shop. I usually stock up on washing powder, kitchen roll, juice, ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Costco numerous times - every time I have bought something. The last time I went I bought Comfort 5 litre for £3, 5 multipacks of Double Velvet Toilet Rolls for £11 and a Tefal steamer for £25. The steamer should have been £45, the toilet rolls are £4 per pack and the Comfort was at least half price. If you want ...  Read the complete review

Costco is one of the few big warehouses where you do not need to be in business to obtain a card. Membership is required for which a fee is payable, but you will soon recoup your money. The costco in Leeds has everything from a tin of beans to a tv right up to an outside jacuzzi in a wooden housing. They often have great furniture ...  Read the complete review

I concur costcos is ace. I do most of my shopping at Costco and save much more than the membership fee. Another point,is that you could have ALL goods on a 30-day trial. If you are not satisfied in any way you can get a full refund as long as you have the receipt and the original packaging even software. Another thing is that all stereos ...  Read the complete review

COSTCO UK The first time I entered this store was a year ago and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had been told about it but couldn’t get over how much choice there was. To start off with it’s an enormous big building and holds a multitude of stock, from diamond rings to baby wear. You can get carried away (as I did the first ...  Read the complete review

I think this is my absolute favourite shop at the minute. To be allowed in you have to either own a business or work for the NHS or civil service. (There are various other professions who can gain memebership but I can't remember them all). You pay an annual fee which lets you purchase things from the warehouse for an individual member this ...  Read the complete review

Costco is a relatively new store, where you pay a yearly fee, of about £12 sorry but i got mine from work so dont know the price. Poorly set out in a large warehouse environment, seems to sell a limited range of various products which enables it to keep its prices down. I like the store and use it regularly as it sells everything from sofas ...  Read the complete review

I joined Costco many years ago and have paid up my twenty-four odd pounds each time it is due for renewal, so that is the best recommendation. I go to the one at Lakeside,Thurrock, just near to Ikea and make a day of buying in bulk and bargain hunting. You learn over the years that however cheap some things are, it is not a bargain if it ...  Read the complete review
