Reader’s guide to
product availability
All products advertised are carried at
Costco warehouses unless otherwise
noted; however, products may not be
available in all warehouse locations.
■ Products are scheduled to be available
during the period of The Connection’s
issue date.
■ All ads indicate whether a product is
available only in the warehouse, only on
costco.com or both.
■ 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
members know to check Costco 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.
■
Costco.com carries few of the products
available at the warehouses, but offers
3,500 additional items, including line
extensions and supplemental products.
