Just so, how long do I have to return something to Costco?
Costco has one of the most generous return policies in the retail world. You can basically return anything you've purchased at the warehouse club at any time for a full refund — except for electronics and major appliances, which have a 90-day return policy with receipt.
Additionally, do I need my Costco card to return an item? No, you don't need your receipt to return anything to Costco. Simply take your Costco membership number, and the item you want to return, to the customer service desk. They'll be able to look up all of your past purchases and quickly find evidence of your purchase and issue your refund.
Also to know is, can I return something to Costco after 2 years?
Costco's Lifetime Return Policy. A little over two years ago we bought our son an electric piano from Costco. It cost about $1,300. The following must be returned within 90 days of purchase for a refund: televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, iPOD / MP3 players and cellular phones.
What does Costco do with returns?
Although not a general requirement for refund, most members do return items in the original box. Member Returns can include online purchases. When inventory of an item or category of items becomes too small to mass out in typical Costco displays, warehouses may liquidate this unsold merchandise.
