Costco's return policy

Costco's Return Policy for Change of Mind*

One of the reasons why a Costco membership gives you incredible value is because we offer you a change of mind return policy on your membership and most purchases.

We promise that, should you change your mind for any reason regarding the purchase of any merchandise, we’ll refund the purchase price at any time, with the exception of the items listed below*.

Additionally, if you’re dissatisfied with your membership for any reason, we’ll refund your membership fee in full at any time.

Please know that we can only process a refund to the member who has made the purchase.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit our membership counter for assistance.
