“Good customer service at Tigard store”

Nathan T.
1/9/24

When I ask Tim at the Electronics Department For help with the wireless printer, he shows and explained to me in detail. What's pros and cons for each brand and that's what I needed. He is a knowledgeable guy with a friendly smile. Big thumbs up for Mr. Tim.

“Costco is going down hill!”

Rob S.
1/11/24

A once great company has now gone to s**t! Product quality is not what it was, prices are not much cheaper than retail, check out lines are long, stores are overcrowded, customer service has dropped. I have had a executive membership.for 15+ years. At this point its not worth renewing. Feeling ripped off. Seems like Costco gives membership for very little to anyone these days and letting illegal citizens in to access membership privileges. I'll be switching to Amazon prime and Walmart +.

Wanted a refund on my membership that is a 100% guarantee and was denied. The staff walked away from me after harassing me to sign a form and called the cops.

Costco then tells my purchases to the police so that it stays in a police report that anyone can view now

Melissa Osgood decided to state to the cops that I was verbally abusing her at the Roseville Michigan store. The video recording does not have any verbal abuse

I was only trespassed for not signing a form. Melissa Osgood trespassed me for not signing a form

They denied me a tire warranty service after I got a screw in my tire.

Omar Nezami the guy who gloats they pay him so well he can flat out buy a Mercedes offers me $200. It's great to know they pay him so well but offer me petty change after using the cops as a weapon on me.

I only wonder if telling the police I was a Hispanic creating a disturbance was only to try and get a faster response. Really odd to have 6 cops to come so fast

IF YOU BUY GOLD HERE BEWARE AS THEY TOLD 2 GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT I DID

The branch manager is the problem at this location. Today I experienced an example of blatant racism. It was raining and I decided to get a piece of pizza on my way out. A black man was in front of me and ordered a piece of pizza and ice cream. I am caucasian. He asked the clerk for a top for his ice cream 3 times. The clerk was 2 feet away and it was obvious he heard him, but he ignored him. I told the man my order was coming up and I would get him a top. The clerk called my number. I stepped up and said, "first get this gentleman a top for his ice cream". The clerk glared at me, grabbed a top and slid it across the counter to the man. He left my pizza where it was and I had to reach to get it. This isn't my first bad experience at this Costco.

The first time I was shorted pills at Costco I said nothing, but documented my pill usage like a hawk after that. The second time it happened I told the pharmacist I didn't want pills or money. I wanted it documented in case it happened again to someone else. She told me, "You complained and now Costco will never fill your prescriptions." Sounds like she knew they had a problem and wanted to shut me up.

I no longer believe Costco is superior to Sam's. I was initially thrilled when Costco opened a store near my location, but my excitement was short-lived as I discovered a few things. Firstly, Costco's website is horrible! It has to be one of the worst, if not the worst, websites I've ever encountered. It is not user-friendly at all. Secondly, Costco does not have self-check-out like Sam's. In fact, I can use my phone to scan my items without getting in the self-checkout line. And lastly, and maybe most importantly, Sam's is less expensive than Costco.

Costco's delivery service left me feeling cheated and frustrated. Despite paying extra for expedited shipping, my order arrived a week later than promised. Attempts to seek assistance from customer service were met with long wait times and vague responses. If you're looking for reliable delivery, Costco isn't the answer.

Shopping at Costco is always a delight, thanks to its unbeatable selection, quality products, and fantastic value. Whether I'm stocking up on pantry essentials, shopping for electronics, or browsing through the latest deals, Costco never fails to impress. The warehouse format allows me to explore a wide range of products under one roof, while the bulk packaging ensures that I get more bang for my buck. I appreciate Costco's commitment to offering high-quality brands and its focus on customer satisfaction, as evidenced by its generous return policy and excellent customer service. With affordable prices and a treasure trove of goodies, Costco has become my go-to destination for all my shopping needs.

I've had consistently positive experiences with the Costco Pharmacy. The pharmacists are knowledgeable and attentive, and the prescription fill times are usually fast, even during peak hours. I appreciate the convenience of being able to refill prescriptions online or via the Costco app. Plus, the prices for medications are often significantly lower compared to other pharmacies, making Costco my pharmacy of choice.

The Costco Bakery never disappoints with its delicious and affordable baked goods. Whether it's their famous sheet cakes, fresh bread, or decadent pastries, everything is made with high-quality ingredients and baked to perfection. The prices are unbeatable, and the portions are generous. I always make sure to pick up something from the Costco Bakery during my shopping trips.

Costco offers incredible value for families and individuals alike. The bulk buying options save both time and money, and the Kirkland Signature brand provides quality at a fraction of the cost. The food court's delicious and affordable meals are an added bonus. However, the membership fee may deter some shoppers

Left front door OPEN, lights on, and snuck away so they didn't have to install or haul away. Absolutely disgusting company practice! Taking advantage of less fortunate family's. Costco refused to refund my money since I'm doing the haul away and the install myself with help from the neighbor.

Tip for consumers:
Shop elsewhere, deal was too good to be true

I've had excellent experiences with the Costco Tire Center. The prices are unbeatable, especially considering the quality of tires and the included services like installation, rotation, and balancing. The staff are knowledgeable and efficient, and the wait times are usually minimal. Plus, the warranty and satisfaction guarantee provide added peace of mind.

When I went to check out in the scan your own, someone ran my items for me. What is self check out if someone does it for you. You have to show your card to enter the store, show your card to enter check out lanes, scan your card before you can check out. You can't even pay with a different card even if you have someone with you who wants to gift you items, they tell you to figure it out later. When you leave the store you have to show your receipt and someone literally counts the numbers of items in your card. This was way too much. You can't get in or out without so many uses of showing your card so why have to have every item in your cart counted. There is no place to get more items once you go through the registers. Costco is way over the top on how they handle these matters. Even though I paid for a membership I will never go and shop there again.

They must have a different hiring criteria for the pharmacy. They are RUDE. I had a script transferred to them. Kept telling me, after hours, that they had not received the script. I kept calling the doctor that was sending the script and they faxed it repeatedly. THEY, not COSTCO, finally called the pharmacy. Their fax machine wasn't working. Then they failed to text me that the script was ready after 6 hours. I really could used that inhaler since I have pneumonia. They just shrugged.

So far three orders completed online with Costco have been nightmares. First order received with somebody else's order and not mine so my time on returning the order to my local Costco store. Second order, I was unable to return it from Costco as Costco indicated I ordered from Cosco next, and they could not help me and the merchant that I ordered from indicated, my order was not returnable even though the website indicated it was returnable, third order received defective products and again my local Costco store would not assist me and now I'm having to wait four more weeks for a replacement product from costco.com Extremely unhappy with the service that Costco claims that they will provide to me as a member, but they continuously fail to show any true consumer satisfaction.

Sincerely speaking I know no other places with such a big assortment and such friendly pricing. Costco has managed to become a lover for many people around the US due to its mild pricing policy and always fresh products. I shop here regularly, I assume if I would visit other stores, I would've paid way more money that I pay at Costco for the SAME PRODUCTS!
So, guys, thank you very much, wish you all the best only the best!

Purchased a new Sony OLED TV. Loved the TV however... after a period of time it began freezing the picture to the point in required unplugging. After 2 factory resets sonys support got involved. There is where it all turned "sour" to put it lightly. They blamed it on my "internet?" then stated it would not be covered. How ironic... No service tech, nothing. Just a person a half a world away telling me it's my internet.
After 2 days I finally contacted the Costco's team where I originally purchased my TV and they immediately took charge. Today I ordered a new TV. Definately not a sony... EVER! From Costco of coarse!
I want to give a huge shootout to the Costco Nampa management team for they're diligence and help.

As I noticed by the years, whatever I bought in Costco was with some issues. By example, toilet paper is not the same quality as use to be for whole rolls.
Taquitos rolls come with two boxes. One of them is always staffed with chicken, other one there is no chicken at all.
Clothes are almost every time I purchased, miss measurement.
Definitely,it's not store for the people who know products quality.

Ordered tires. One week later Costco cancels order by email. They actually were not in stock although they told me they were. They are not really sure why took a week to figure that out. Now other places I looked at for tires are also out. Unable to leave voice review after call with customer service.

Costco's practice of insisting on presenting your membership card before even entering the check out line and then again upon exiting their 'warehouse' along with proof of receipt is, in my opinion, counterproductive to showing appreciation to valued customers and frankly could almost be viewed as discriminatory. It's like stereotyping all their customers as a bunch of thieves. I'll take my business elsewhere, where a feel more welcomed and like a valued customer after dropping my wad a cash. The only people who I believe appreciate this treatment are the two employees who get paid to do this asinine job!

So my first time ever going to a Costco was with my wife and I immediately fell in love. If you are a family of two or more this is definitely the place you should be shopping. We typically go once or twice a month and we get all the essentials. The prices are great and the products are quality. We decided to upgrade our membership to the executive membership and the card literally pays for itself. Picture here is me Jeremy getting on the plan with my wife because I love it and may need to come without her sometimes. This card and membership is a must have. Side note: this was the best picture taken that day. Lol

Good luck if you got a refund from Costco for over $1000. It is a major of affair to try to get it cashed. They took my coupon off to some office and say that they're bringing out a check. They will give me no idea on how long it takes to get the check.

Tip for consumers:
The mechanism to cash the check refund that Costco sins out to credit card owners sucks.

I bought 2 frames and lenses. I was told they will arrive in a week to wait for a phone call. To make sure both glasses came in due to 2 seperate invoices.
I have been calling fir 3 days. Phone just rings rings rings. Finally after I get someone on the phone, glasses been there for 7 days. I got no phone call informing me of their arrival, not even an apology. The guy just said they are in for pick up.
No customer service skills should not be

I bought a self supporting clothes line (kind of an inverted umbrella on a stand) from Costco's wholesale website. The site was easy to use and entering keywords brought up a good selection including comprehensive details and specification.

I had no real trouble with navigating the checkout procedure though I'm relatively new to on-line shopping. Their prices were significantly lower than other on-line outlets. The product arrived on schedule and I was notified at each step of the shipping process.

I have not had any reason to purchase anything from Costco since August, but I have no reservations about doing so in the future. Though there is always room for improvement, my experience was very positive.
