Reader’s guide to
product availability
■ All products advertised are carried at Costco
warehouses unless otherwise noted.
■ Products are scheduled to be available during
the period of The Connection’s issue date.
■ Products may not be available in all
warehouse locations.
■ Prices are usually not listed in the advertising
because they have not been finalized at the
time of printing and may vary from one part
of the country to another due to shipping
costs. We hope that our members know to
check us first when comparison shopping.
■ To keep prices low, Costco does not offer a
telephone service allowing members to call
in for prices or product availability.
■ Shop early in the month for best selection
on seasonal products.
■ If an ad includes the phrase “shop costco.com,”
it means this product or category is available
on the Web site.
■ The Web site carries few of the products
available at the warehouses, but offers 3,500
additional items, including line extensions
and supplemental products.
■ An item-number listing does not mean the
product can be found online.
