13 Items Costco Won’t Let You Return

Sanitizing Wipes

During the pandemic, a lot of individuals went a little crazy and bought lots of things that would ostensibly stop the virus from spreading.

Cigarettes and Alcohol

You can easily indulge in your vices at Costco, but don't anticipate being able to exchange your smokes and alcoholic beverages.

Tires

Although tyres can seem like a completely normal thing to return, once you give them a try, they become your property, much like shoes.

Toilet Paper and Paper Towels

The fact that toilet paper and paper towels come into contact with people's bodies should make it very clear that they are not acceptable things to return.

Rice

Don't bother returning rice because it is messy once you open the bag and Costco obviously doesn't want to deal with the headache of spilt rice.

Batteries

For purchases that include batteries, Finance Buzz advises clients to obtain product-specific warranties so that you are protected in the event of a problem.

Rotten Food

According to Cheapism, a client has repeatedly attempted to return rotten food to Costco, proving that what may appear obvious to some people is obviously not to others.

Soap

Given that soaps can differ in texture, viscosity, fragrance, and other factors, it makes sense to be selective about the type that is used.
