Costco has great returns but its nothing like the return policy at Nordstrom.
They will return anything period. I remember reading a couple years back a salesperson allowed a return on a tire at Nordstroms. I don't think they do that anymore but you can return an item without a receipt or tag. My sister worked there, many MANY people buy an item of clothing and wore it to a nice party or something and then return it shortly thereafter. It's kind of silly but like costco, they have people who will only shop there.

You sir are an a-hole and a criminal!! Why would you place the burden of of broken product on the retailer that sold the thing for HP, Canon or whoever?? You got 5 years worth of use out of it and when it finally gave up the ghost, you go get your money back? What an a-hole !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's hoping that you open a business someday, try to do the right thing by offering top notch service and have ALL YOUR customers come in and eff you in the ass!!! What goes around will certainly come around Mr Scheister....Happy Holidays...I returned a scanner that was 5 years old. I found the receipt when cleaning out my file cabinet... tried to return it in the store but was rejected by the assistant manager.
I called back a couple days later to speak to the manager and actually got the visiting regional manager.
She approved the return without hesitation...the look on the assistant managers face was classic when he handed me back $370 for a friggin scanner...

i work at costco and you do not need to have a receipt of box.
everything has a lifetime warranty except computers that have a 6 month.
if you have a receipt you will receive 100% of what you paid. If you dont have a receipt, you will get back what the lowest price was when it was still being sold there.
but trust me, it is true about the warranty.
for example, i bought a AIWA stereo like 5 years ago. cd player broke so i took it back with the original receipt and got full credit for it

One time I was stupid and forgot to put a case of bottled water in my trunk before driving away. I went back the next day and asked if anyone had been nice enough to return it (which of course they hadn't) but Costco was nice enough to give me another case of water. I'm sure that they must incur a lot of returned items expense compared to other stores, but the goodwill that comes from this policy far outweighs the cost. There have been plenty of times I decided to buy something from them instead of somewhere else because I knew it it didn't work or I didn't like it, I wouldn't be made to feel like a criminal for returning it (are you listening, Fry's in Burbank??). And almost every time, I am satisfied and don't need to return the item. Stores that hassle customers who return stuff (aside from the abusers) are quite shortsighted and are biting the hands that feed them. If a store hassles me about a return, then I simply don't shop there anymore.

sorry but thats one of the dumbest thing i've ever heard in a long time. but i rest assured that costco will take care of me if i ever had a problem like that.
also, if you guys don't have the box, how can costco scan the UPC to get the price and such?

that said, I bought a package of those energy saver bulbs that was suppose to last 5 years or more, guess what, half of it only lasted a few months. Can I return the whole package with the bad bulbs?
