Costco Near Me

Canada Post appreciation OR, my horrible experience with UPS.

For all the hate Canada Post gets, I still think it is the best parcel delivery service in Canada. It's not perfect, but when they are not on strike, I find it very reliable, and I'm usually relieved when I order something online to find out it is delivered by Canada post. They are also usually the most affordable option if I want to send something. DHL takes forever in my experience. But this po...

We need more Costcos in our state!

Costco seems like the best chain of stores since they actually care about the customers and don't let greed blind them. So how is it that they only have one location in Maine? We should have them everywhere!

Looking for card(s) for travel and maximizing benefits

My wife and I are merging finances and in the process got curious about our credit cards. We love to travel and take one or two international trips with a couple domestic trips each year, so we thought a travel card (venture x, sapphire preferred, etc) would benefit us the most. However, we were also wondering if we should think about cards to use specifically for groceries, gas, etc. Thanks in ...

The Only Mental Model You Need to Spot Real Compounding: The Costco Blueprint (How Ethics and Scale Create Untouchable Moats)

The late **Charlie Munger** often spoke about a handful of businesses that reject the profit-at-all-costs mindset. These firms can easily command **15**\-**20% margins** but deliberately choose not to, purely for **ethical reasons**. This isn’t a structural weakness; it’s a conscious strategy to build a **moat so formidable** that it’s almost untouchable. It’s a business model and p...

Being forced to use shop card funds instead of CC for gas

When I try to get gas at the fuel pump it'll automatically default to paying with the funds I loaded to my account with a digital shop card even though I have disabled that functionality. The store correctly doesn't use these funds unless I have that option enabled. But the fuel pump seems to ignore it. Is there any way to pay with my mobile wallet instead of my digital Costco Shop Card funds?

PS5 Required?

Hey guys, I’m considering buying a portal since they have a bundle at Costco and the price seems good. If I don’t own a PS5 can I still use the portal? I’ve been watching online videos and stuff but some say you don’t and then on the product page on Costco it says “*PS5 required*”. So which one is it? From my understanding, I don’t need a PS5. All I need is wifi and a subscription co...

My South Asian brothers, do you have trouble finding clothes that fit your body type?

Until now, I've always bought clothes from Costco/Walmart type value brands and never paid much attention to fit. This year I thought I'll level up my dressing game and bought a ton of stuff from 'premium' stores. I'm finding out none of them really fit me well. Torso and arms are just a little short, shoulders a little too wide. Everything needs to be altered by a tailor which easily adds 20-30% ...

Costco online shipping estimates are bad

Ordered a Macbook Air on Monday for delivery to Montreal. There was plenty of stock available in-stores in Montreal but since it was estimating next day delivery, I decided I could wait overnight. Big mistake. Timeline: - Monday 9h38: order completed at costco canada. Estimated delivery Tuesday December 2nd - Tuesday 11h38: Costco created shipping label with UPS. This has to be the failure; why ...

Current Car location showing somewhere else

Hey, I am at work and I can see my car. I thought my car had gotten stolen 😭. I keep refreshing my location and it currently shows that its at a dealership in another city. I can see it physically right now at work but the location is showing at a dealership 50 km away. I have never been to the dealership or around that area. Anyone have similar issue or know what's going on?

Guess which one was 5 Below?

I hate shopping 5 below but couldn’t turn this one down. It was paired with a Costco so I knew off the bat one wasn’t going to tip well. Of course they were the non-tipper. They also had the more annoying order and delivered to a college campus with little parking. Left their order at the door of the dorm because I wasn’t trying to get a parking ticket. Otherwise a great order. Right at 1...

Help me decide on the next credit card setup before I cancel USBAR

Until recently, my go-to card was the US Bank Altitude Reserve, earning 3% back through Apple Pay. It covered almost all of my spending for about four years. Now that USBAR has cut many of its perks, I’m re-evaluating my strategy. Ideally, I’d like to build a simpler setup that earns around 5% cashback on most purchases, using as few cards as possible. The details below show my current cards a...

Change in Redstone FCU Visa Signature Credit Card Rewards

I just received an email from Redstone FCU about the change in the Visa Signature Credit Card rewards and the rewards are decreasing. Gas: 5% ➡️ 2% or optional 5% if chosen as the standalone 5% reward. Restaurant: 5% ➡️ Optional 5% if chosen as the standalone 5% reward or none. Travel: 1.5% ➡️ An optional 5% if chosen as the standalone 5% reward. I don’t travel enough to...

Costco Activation Fee

Upgraded iPhones today at Costco. I have an old legacy plan so I bought the phones outright. The rep told me that the activation fee normally in T-Mobile stores is $35 however at Costco you get accessories along with the fee. I always thought that fee is waived at Costco but I didn’t have time to argue. So was I snookered and if so can I return the accessories once the phones arrive or am I ...

Which grocery delivery service offers the most bang for your buck?

My husband and I just welcomed baby two last week and we are settling into the chaos. My *amazing* MIL has told us she wants to gift us a one year grocery delivery service subscription as our family Christmas gift this year so I don’t have to drag the newborn and our toddler out to the grocery store during winter weather and flu season. I just want to make the most of her gift and choose a serv...

For those who have been a part of the DC whiskey scene for a while, you likely have seen and heard a lot about it over the years. # 👀 What is the deal with DC ...

8k CC Debt, Balance Transfer card or pull from HYSA?

I have a capital one cc with $8k on it from past vacations and overspending accidently. I downloaded rocketmoney and found out my fiance and I are spending a lot more in groceries than what we should. We usually have a list of items but shop at Sams/Costco to stock up but end up just grabbing random bullshit. Also occasionally order out like every 2 weeks but thats OK. Anyways we have a plan goin...

How to Buy a Costco Display Item? Who Should I Ask?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to buy a specific display item (the Litter-Robot) at my local Costco. I know they usually don't sell displays until they are cleared out, but I'd like to try and snag this one early. Who is the best person to approach to inquire/request buying the display? • A regular floor employee? • The Store Manager directly? • Costco Corporate/Customer Service? If you've suc...
