Costco Wholesale

My absolute favorite store! I travel a lot so when I find a Costco near me I stock up! Might be a little biased as my daughter work’s at one in Washington State. The produce is always fresh, perfect and ripe. The meat department are very helpful, I do enjoy that rotisserie chicken. It’s so nice that they give out samples to try before you buy. Many of there nutritional health foods, vitamins, and shakes can be sampled as well. Really enjoy browsing the book section, great for all ages. Thank You Costco for treating your employees well, and giving us so many Kirkland Brand Items to enjoy.

I popped into Costco for a specific item today, but still took my trolley and browsed around. We are just two people in the household so I do find a lot of the items too large for us, but I’m sure for a family it’s fantastic. I do buy the chicken however in bulk, as I am able to cut the individual packets and freeze them. I also enjoy the little tasters they have around the store, giving me the chance to try something new. When I do need things in larger quantities though, like eggs, cleaning products and dog food, I’m always there

Just bought a few TVs from Costco in WDM this morning and had the pleasure of working with Michael in electronics. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the TV brands and models. We were very impressed and happy to have had him help us with our final choices. Thanks, Michael! You are awesome!

When visiting other states I love to pop into their Costco to see what goodies they have. They all seem to carry different things as times. Here were some of the fun things I found when I visited this Iowa Costco. I just love it!!

Costco members for decades. Love the store and products. Customer service getting progressively worse, sadly. Called ahead to make sure Thanksgiving turkeys were in, was told yes, was even told many had been bought today, drove 45 min one way and no turkeys. Total waste of time. Meat department said not to ask the front desk, ask to be transferred to them. Who knew. Then loaded up a holiday planter by myself, they are very heavy. Wanted to pay for 3 and pull my car up. Went to the line and the rude, gruffy bearded checkout guy who was complaining to his co-worker told me I had to put all 3 through the line. No other options. Since 3 don’t fit in a cart I had to go out and get a flatbed and do the whole process over again. Tossed a container of blueberries that were up front into the flatbed. Got to the line and the assistant threw my blueberries onto the belt on top of someone else’s groceries and a snipped “small items go on the belt.” The manager told me you have to bring the planters to the line “in case they sell out” by the time you get from the register to the front where they are (?????). Manager listened politely but I know nothing will change. Just have to decide how important service is if you shop there. Costco is too big and too busy to care about my experience. Wish I wouldn’t have just spent $1000 on tires there and gone somewhere else.

Some workers were very nice and helped a lot. But Johnna was very disrespectful and rude. She was nice to other customers asking them to leave but singled us out who was insta cart shopping. And then proceeded to be so rude to us. Josh though was amazing and so helpful. If you can go to the ankeny one they are much nicer

When you shop at Costco, you get used to certain things. The sundaes are $2.49, the water is in the same place. The cold produce is right next to the dairy - and so on. Of the half a dozen stores we've been to all are the same. This Costco is not laid out as the others. Which makes it a bit more challenging to shop. They have a lot more pallets out in the aisles. Less staff means they're not really able to give any quality customer service. They generally seem oblivious to the customers in general. You can make your way around. It's four stars for having the same quality of products. The service is why it's not a five. That and they were out of stock for sundaes.

I really like Costco but this particular location in West Des Moines is too small. If you go there on a weekend you have to wait 10 minutes to get gas and at least 10 minutes to check out at the self service aisle in store. Costco would be better served to have a bigger store in Waukee off Grand Prairie Parkway with triple the number of gas pumps and a larger store...something similar to the store in Ankeny.

I love Costco. There are certain things that my family always gets from Costco. Gas prices are great. Just don't go close to a major holiday.

Sadly, it's not the place to get Gold and Silver anymore. Corporate has gotten very greedy. Even after 4% discount for Costco Executive & Citi Card you are paying more than a local coin dealer that only charges $35 over spot. Very sad that Costco got greedy. I've bought over 30k in both gold and silver there in the past. No more! That's Corporate greed for you... on a positive note I will always shop there for my bulk deals.

I like this Costco. The employees are very friendly! Heads up - The ovens have been down for at least a few weeks though so you can't get cookies, pizza, or any baked food from the food court. They have more international foods than I have seen at other costcos, like different types of moon cakes, matcha, ramen and udon noodles, etc. it's fun to try new things even though you have to buy them in bulk. :)

This is a good Costco. Until you get in line and the staff doesn't care if people cut you in line. A lady this last Saturday(25 January) walked next to the line in between me and the couple ahead of me. When we got to the front and it was the next person in line's turn to start self check out the one lady at the start of self checkout asked who was next. I said I was, and she asked the cutter if she was in line. I said 'She's not in line.' And the staff person said are you in line and of course the cutter said yes. So the staff lady let her go first. The staff person didn't say anything else. Thanks Costco. Not like I don't have somewhere else to be. Maybe get another staff member to play line guard or be in charge of this crap.

delicious samples delicious pizza delicious cookies it would've been a five star, but the ice cream machine was broken so I mean you can't give someone a perfect rating when it's not perfect. I wanted to add a photo, but I didn't know what photo to add so I just added a photo of my dog. He's really cute and we did get that toy at Costco I think.

Thanks to Chuck the pharmacist I was home sick with Covid, and my spouse went to pick up my RX. Chuck insisted I know of the interactions of my current meds with the new RX, and called me to go over this. if I wouldn't have listened to him, I would be much worse. Thank you Chuck for taking the time to review this with me.

Came here to get some gas on my way to Omaha, and as usual, the gas prices were lower than other spots! Lots of pumps, didn't have to wait in the morning.

I have used Costco gas in many places across the country and at this particular place It was clean and well attended with staff a available to help you in no matter what type of situation you may need. Costco in general has very good covid-19 practices in all their staff were masked as well. The quality of the gas is excellent especially for the price point that they ask for and if you need to use premium gas it's a really good value. I recommend using Costco not only for the quality of their goods and their gas but how they treat their staff and give them a livable wage with healthcare and benefits I always want to support a large retail Box store that does that type of thing

I am not a Costco fan. I absolutely despise how incredibly busy this warehouse is. No matter what day or time I go it is too busy. Even on a rainy evening, an hour before closing it is BUSY! I don't know how or why other moms of multiple kids enjoy coming here. The savings and prices are comparable to their competitor. Costco just offers more of the item you're buying for a few more cents or dollars but it still equals out the same when you divide it down per unit or whatever the measurement is. Service at the service desk is mediocre. Nothing extraordinary. They treat ya like any other number. They definitely make you feel bad for returning things. Service at the check out lines are slow. There's never enough help to check out customers. You see lines and lines of people at every check out lane that's open (which is like 3 or 4). The cashier treats you like any other number. Probably because they are always busy and so they don't have the mindset of being extra friendly or helpful. They don't offer a military discount for their membership on their executive membership option. We paid $110 for the executive membership. We also signed up during a promotion to receive $55 credit back on the Visa card. This $55 credit back takes up to 12 weeks to receive. I learned that you must have an active membership to keep their visa card. Otherwise if you cancel the membership you forfeit the credit card and all the rewards you racked up if it is canceled before a year. When you sign up as a new member you are supposed to receive coupons for certain items in the store for free. They tell you you should receive these coupons in the mail within a month. But I have not received these coupons. Their Costco Citi Visa card does offer good rewards and cashback. 4% cashback for fuel at Costco fuel or any qualifying gas station. 3% cashback for restaurants. 1% cashback for any other purchases. The only thing I like about Costco are the brands they carry. And yeah ok, they carry SOME organic items. But so does their competitor. But it's not enough to keep me as a customer. Maneuvering in the store is ok since it has wide aisles but when you go at a busy hour it's like you're maneuvering through the Iowa State Fair! Same as their parking lot. Just driving BY their parking lot is a hassle. Costco should work on their customer service and figure out ways to make shopping more convenient. Example: more cashiers, more open lanes, an online ordering and pick up at store system, or an app checkout system on our phones. I'm not a fan and I would not recommend Costco. Not convenient for me and my family.

I love going to Costco if only to just walk around. I wish their monthly coupon book at more values!! They keep getting less and less, especially things we want and need. They used to be much much better!!!

Maybe I'm getting older, but I feel like Costco has slowed down a bit in the years.. It's not so cut throat, you know what I mean if you read my first review from 2015. They still got great options for party supplies and heck I dig coming here and buying coffee in bulk.. Tip don't go down ever isle, cause your cart will fill up fast with stuff you don't really need. AKA 10 pounds of oatmeal.. I guess I thought I was going to be in the mood for oatmeal, once you get home I'm always like how did I spend 200 dollars on all this stuff..

Parking is undesirable and do not have the products I would buy from another big box store. Tried canceling my membership by phone and you have to drive to the store to get this done. So will have to travel and try to park in the not user friendly parking to cancell.

Absolutely done with this place. 10 years I've belonged. I'm sick of their anal mask policy and liberal agenda. As a nurse we don't enforce masks near as crazy as they do there. My whole family is so tired of it none of us are renewing our memberships. There's nothing more irritating then a food store employee telling me (8 months pregnant and a nurse of 12 years) to wear a mask. If I was so scared and thought a mask would save my life then I probably wouldn't be able to do my job. So next time Costco employees- you have no medical knowledge or experience, you spent half the year hiding in your homes on unemployment and now to be giving advice to me?. I'm not scared of covid seeing as I work with these pts often and never got reinfected once. Everyone is done with this place.

I have a hard time choosing a star rating. What I don't like isn't their fault. I made the mistake of going on a Sunday afternoon. Too flipping many people! And if you're in that kind of a place, for the love of God, don't just stand there in the middle of the aisle. Get out of the way! I went through the store and had one item. I finally got to the check out lane, and saw the lines, and decided screw that I don't need it that bad. My other problem with this store is everything is in giant bulk. You need to go with friend or family and hopefully you can agree on items to split and share. I don't like to eat the same thing that much that I can justify spending more on a giant portion of something. I need to make sure next time I go it's on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon and take some friends with me. I didn't interact with staff since I didn't check out.

I pay for the privilege to shop there. If you're going to train your employees to pride themselves on "mask-enforcement," don't you dare let someone with a nasty, stained fabric diaper over their face, try to approach anyone and preach about "health and safety." And your mask requirement is ridiculous by the way. Bacterial pneumonia is more deadly than COVID, and the state of Iowa has no mask mandate. Recommend a mask all you want, but don't harass people and try to enforce it like it's law, because it's not. Also, your produce section was a disaster. Your employees would probably perform better without their oxygen flow being restricted.

If you like wholesale you only have to worry about two options. Costco is almost the only reason I make the trip out to Mills Civic Pkwy area. I really enjoy the deals I can find there. If you take your time, do the math they have great options. I always hit up Costco for things like toilet paper and paper towels because we eventually go through them. It's nice to even have the gas a little lower sometimes being a member. Keep your eyes open and hit them up during the early afternoon for all the food freebies on the weekends. FYI- you can find helpful shopping tips on YouTube for Costco or other wholesale.

I shamelessly love going to Costco. My parents have been members here since it opened, and one of my favorite weekly rituals is tagging along with my mother when she goes to buy groceries. My tips: Go on a Friday afternoon or Saturday, they have alllllll the free samples out. Recently, Costco has STEPPED UP their vegetarian and vegan option game. I have been complaining for years that veggie "chicken" nuggets don't come in bulk. WELL FOLKS, now they do, and they are available at Costco. As well as vegan "burgers" and other meatless entrees. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and many times have gone above and beyond for my mother and my family. The facility is always clean. My literal only complaint is that the bathrooms are SO far from everything.

Costco is great everywhere, and this location is no exception. The staff here are always incredibly helpful and friendly, and I have a good experience every time I shop here, which is often. What's sort of odd, though, is that the least-friendly employees all seem to be put together at the snack bar. It's not that they're unfriendly, they're just...very short. There is no cordiality whatsoever. They look at you, you tell them what you want and they give it to you, then they ask if you want your receipt. That's fine, I don't need a conversation when I'm ordering a hot dog, but it doesn't really fit with the rest of Costco's vibe.

This place has super sized items. It is a warehouse place that requires a membership to purchase items from them. They do have a pharmacy, optical, fresh meat/produce and bakery. They have furniture and they sell and install tires. The have all kinds a super sized food and an extensive electronics department. The also have seasonal items including live clitheplants and bushes. Each month they issue coupons that discount their products even more. If you don't see what you need at the store go online as they have much, much more online. They have trips online that I hear are amazing. Lastly they have a small counter serving food too. People come sometimes just to have a jumbo slice of pizza or jumbo hot dog as the price can't be beat! The only draw backs are that they are very busy all the time and the parking lot is very busy and the check out lines sometimes are long.

My go to place for bulk groceries at a deal! A step up in quality and cleanliness from Sams club, in my opinion. I love Costco!

Oh the allure of bulk purchasing. Something about it really sucks you in. But Costco is more than mass quantity (but seriously, who wants to run out for toilet paper all the time); they have other services like a tire shop, optical, pharmacy, photo printing and a food counter. But for your everyday household needs, the Kirkland brand is a great value and on par quality with name brands. The produce, dairy and meat are priced right and high quality. I love their return policy and the fact that if you don't have a receipt but a ballpark date you purchased, they can look you up. Just a word of caution, while some items are a great value, you might not always be getting a bargain; so, it helps to pay attention to how much you pay per unit at other places to run the math, especially if the item is perishable.

This is the only Costco that I've even been to but, since my kids were born (7 years ago) I have been obsessed. Some highlights of why you must become a Costco member: 1. Rotisserie chicken for $4.99. If you need a quick, healthy meal...this is the way to go. Grab a few veggies or a pre-made side and boom...inexpensive dinner with little preparation. 2. Big party on a budget? Look no further. A giant sheet cake for $20 that taste better or as good as any bakery (opt for vanilla with cheese cake filling) and crescent roll sandwiches. Add a veggie tray, loaded potato salad, chips, and a variety of drinks and boom party time. 3. The world's best staff. Seriously, these guys are amazing. They are helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. A lot of the staff has been there since I started going. The interview process is tough because they pay so well and have great benefits! 4. Travel. We always book through Costco travel. We just got back from the worlds best week long trip to Mexico for 1,250 a person (including flights). 5. Baby needs. Clothes, diapers, and formula...I saved a ton on the must have items when my kids were young. 6. The Kirkland brand. The best off brand in the country. From bacon to dishwasher soap...they have the best prices on quality products. My husband swears by the golf balls and rumor has it their vodka is the same as grey goose. Overall, Costco is my first stop for groceries and household needs. There are only 2 cons: 1. Weekend and holiday crowds. It can get crazy. It can be hard to move. I highly suggest a weekday for easy shopping. 2. Buying is bulk doesn't always mean savings! If you aren't sure if you will like an item, don't buy it in bulk. We have had a few boxes of food go to waste because we didn't like a product as much as we thought. Some items aren't even that much cheaper! If you aren't sure if you will use it all, don't buy it.

Customer service deserves five stars. I am not a Costco member however I received a gift that was purchased there. Unfortunately I did not have the receipt. The customer service department was able to look up the gift givers account and find the purchase so I was able to return the gift.

Horrible, horrible experience with Costco. My advice is if you can see it and put it in your cart great. Do not order anything from them. If anything goes wrong they will not help you! All you can do is call the 800 # wait two hours on hold or wait for them to call you back. to be told they will try to do something but pretty much just want you off the phone and won't do anything. They owe me over $2000.00 for a appliance order I never received, they agreed it was severely mishandled and would cancel the order over 10 days ago still no refund issued. I learned the hard way don't buy trips, services, cars etc because all you will here is we can't help you. Yes we are executive members which turns out to just be another scam because you still get no help.

I have been a member for several months. On today's visit the store made the decision to not accept my business check. The explanation I was given made no sense. I immediately canceled my membership due to the condescending way I was treated. I would not recommend Costco in Des Moines

Ok, I understand that it is Costco and there is nothing more that I could tell you that you don't already know. Well, I am just going to point out a few things that I've noticed as I've been shopping here over the past year or so. 1. The staff here are easily some of the nicest people I've encountered. I have had a few minor issues that I've needed to talk with the customer service staff about, and they have always been personable, incredibly helpful, and go above and beyond to resolve my issue. 2. I have been shopping here for myself personally and for work related things in the same shopping trip. Having to separate my personal things and work things have never been a issue, including the differing payment methods for them. I'm not sure if it is a regular thing, but the staff had always made the process seamless. 3. If you are getting allergy meds any where else, stop it immediately. I have never had allergies until moving to the midwest and quickly learned that it costs a small fortune to buy meds for it... until shopping here. Allegra and Zyrtec (and non-brand equivalents) are a fraction of the price, especially considering the quantity you get. 4. Dog food... grain-free options at a fraction of the price of getting it at pet stores and my pup loves every bag I've brought home. Not sure if these scenarios will help you and what your needs might be at Costco, but there it is. It is just me, my husband, dog, and cat at home, so I rarely leave here with a cart full of things, but the things I do come for are absolutely worth the membership.

If I ever become homeless, the first thing I'm doing is buying a costco membership! Great selection of stuff you didn't know you needed, Incredible selection of meat, fish and exotic-ish cheeses, fantastic electronics and good clothing selection to boot. Nice people and great for stopping in on weekends for a lunch made of samples or the $1.50 hotdog w/ drink. Get the membership if you're around, or if you're like us and don't mind driving 90 minutes for the selection and experience!

I love their meat counter. I'm not even sure anywhere else in town sells Prime cuts to the public. Nothing better then a grilled steak and Costco does a great job of finding great beef. I love going on the weekends they set up this mobile seafood cart that has Tiger shrimp, Dungess Crab, King crab leg, and scallops. Get what you want for one meal or buy a lot and freeze some. They also make up salads and I really like their cilantro lime shrimp. I hide it in the back of the refrigerator so the family doesn't see it before I eaten at least half. I found pork belly here!! You can make your own bacon or crisp-in it up for a Pho, ramen, or buffalo pork. The selection of items on Costco shelves are amazing. Always quality whether its a shirt or olive oil. It's really nice to wonder the aisles and find something you haven't tried or seen before, I really like trying new things and Costco can provide that. Their prices on alcohol seem great until you realize they don't sell the larger bottles like Sams does, but charge the same price, 750 ml vs 1.5 liter. However their prices and unique selection of wines is un-comparable to anywhere else in town except maybe Wine Styles. I've found wines here you can't purchase any where else in DeMo. I really wanted to give them a 5 star rating, but if you've ever been here on a weekend you'll know what I'm talking about. The lines to pay are unbelievably long beyond comprehension. They do their best to get you moving, but they just don't have enough registers or staff. Don't go if your buying just one item leave that to a Monday night.

We went to Costco for our monthly trip. They only let us buy one chicken tender even though it was for a relative (second one) the young man at the cash register was rude. Didn't get his name but he was African American had a big Afro. He stated, when I asked about the second bag"not at this store you won't " my membership is due in August sounds like you don't want our busines!

I love Costco cause they have a ton of stuff for you to blow your money on! They usually send a book coupons every couple weeks which makes you go there even though you don't need anything lol. Even though I come here frequently I'm pretty good at not going crazy buying random stuff :) They also have amazing pizza and hot dogs/brats at a very good price (only cash for food) so you should definitely their food after shopping!

Though I live about an hour from the store, my partner and I visit it often. They have a nice variety of items that we use. (Love, love, love the mango, peach salsa....and the hummus.....and the whole grain breads...and the cheap liquor prices) Unfortunately, some things just aren't practical for two people to buy in bulk, but we can justify membership with the items we do use. As retirees, we have the ability to visit on weekdays and I highly recomment avoiding the long lines of the weekends and evenings. When I lived in Ohio, I was a member of Sam's Club. There is NO comparison on the customer service of the two stores. I will always choose Costco over the other Warehouse Stores. I love the corporate vision and the way employees are valued as opposed to the Wal-Mart (Sam's Club) world.

I love Costco. I can get organic juice, pizza skins (and sauce), lettuce, vegan milk... all my faves! For super cheap. Since we are a family of 3 - well, 2 and 1/2, little buddy lives on human milk for now, we split a lot of stuff up with my parents so we don't have a crazy amount of stuff sitting around. My dad loves the samples, I love when the vitamix is on display so I can drink smoothies. Also, cheap, organic veggies in the frozen department! For us it is worth the membership fee!

Extremely GREAT customer service! I grabbed a shopping cart, not really looking in the basket. As I was walking in, an employee stopped me and took out left over napkins, wipes, sample cups he saw in my basket, that he knew were obviously not mine (as I was barely making my way inside). I mean, WOW! Seriously, I know ALL Costco give great customer service, but THIS COSTCO went above and beyond, with that kind gesture. I didn't even get a chance to catch his name, because he was on the move. But I made sure to yell out THANK YOU as he went on his way, I'm sure, to help other customers.

Love this place. All their products are high quality and at great prices. Their alcohol is way cheaper also. Organic selection is through the roof and if you compare it to regular store prices, you are getting organic food for less than nonorganic somewhere else! Toilet paper, paper towels, electronics. You name it, they have it. Everyone that shops here leaves happy. Oh, and their food court has awesome pizza and hotdogs. For $3-$4 you get a slice of pizza the size or a personal pizza, a foot long hotdog, and a pop. Too many good things to say about this place. Love the fact that they pay their employees well here also, which translates into a better shopping experience!

Purchased 4 new Michelin's for my pickup on the 18th of August. Great service and installation by Alex and his Team at Costco tire. Can have my tires serviced free anywhere in the country at Costco.

I've purchased my vehicle tires at Costco or Sam's because they usually have good prices and service. We tour the United States in our 20' Roadtrek on a 3500 Chevrolet Express van chassis and never have a problem with tire rotation at Costco until dealing with the Costco in W.DesMoines, Iowa. I had called them the day before to tell them I was bringing my Roadtrek in for tire rotation on tires I had purchased and installed at another Costco and explained the size and weight of my vehicle and they assured me that they could do the job. I arrived the next day and they told me it would be one hour to complete the rotation. I came back after an hour and they informed me that it couldn't be done. Why didn't they tell me that the day before? I found it odd since all of the Costco's everywhere else had no problem doing the rotation. Someone in charge of the tire department needs to inform customers that they aren't capable of doing the job that all the other locations can do quite easily. I guess I'll be purchasing my vehicle tires at Sam's from now on. *Update: I received a gift card to have the rotation done at another tire store that can do the job. I'm happy with the managers input, but I hope that they will have better communication with their customers before someone makes a special trip to do a job that should have been completed.

I have been a member for a few years now and still really like this place a lot. I've gotten more used to their seasonal specials, like January health and fitness discounts. Knowing these seasonal sales can help you save even more. I really enjoy the selection and are always finding new things to try out. It is a very popular location, so crowds, especially weekends, for both in store and parking cause some significant crowding. Staff is friendly and helpful. Certain memberships earn you a rebate on your purchases, so keep that in mind if you plan to be a regular shopper. The meat selection is great with standards and also other more unique items. Just remember, things are nearly always oversized or in bulk proportions. Offers travel and auto services as well.

Because of the holidays, this has taken me awhile to post... So, a few years ago, my wife and I cancelled our memberships after trying to renew in Reno, NV because they were trying to REQUIRE us to buy an Executive Membership. They said they only sell Executive Memberships now. I called BS and left, got a Sam's Club Membership and haven't been back. Fast forward to 11/21/2015 at 6:34 p.m., my wife and I have moved to Des Moines, IA. I don't particularly care for the Sam's Club/Wal-Mart business practices, so I thought I'd give Costco another chance. This is regarding the location 7205 Mills Civic Parkway West Des Moines, IA 50266 and the associate Ian W., as printed on the receipt info: Whse: 788 Trm: 191 Trn: 26 Op: 616 My wife and I told Ian we wanted to sign up for a basic membership. He proceeded to tell us about the Executive Membership. I told him that I'm sorry, but we only want the Goldstar Membership. I was not rude, and I did listen and let him get out his obviously required spiel. He was very happy to do it. I held him at no fault at this point. But when I told him there is no way we are going to sign up for the Executive Membership today, he raised his eyebrows and turned to his computer and began PUNCHING the keys while saying "Whatever, suit yourself man." I didn't respond. I hate confrontation. Even if I may benefit from getting the Executive Membership, I refuse to do it because of the way Costco has treated me in the past and the way they obviously push their employees to oversell. If I say I don't want it, I don't want it. I've signed up for Sam's Club's Plus Membership because I read up on it on my own and it benefited me. How about when I ask for a new membership or to renew, you train your employees to ASK: "Would you like to hear the difference between the Goldstar and Executive Memberships?" And then let the customer CHOOSE. Your employees are NOT HAPPY having to push customers to the point of annoyance! So please, treat them better and don't give them incentives to sign people up for Executive Memberships. This customer has unfortunately, after the holidays, decided to go back to Sam's Club. I don't like supporting the Sam's Club/Wal-Mart group, but at least at Sam's Club, I'm not pressured at all, at any time, for anything. This review has been shared on Costco's national Facebook as well.

Customer service rep in the front is not service friendly. I asked for 2 receipts when I had a bill over $400. He refused. Acted as if he was doing me a favor for shopping in his store. They need to fire him and hire someone who treats people nice and not just a number. I guess I will be shopping at hyvee now on. I am done with this store and it is 100% because of the condescending attitude of this one employee.

I realy like this costco(the one n only ONE in IOWA :) ) . This location is always well stocked n Everything is always neat and organized. The best time to shop is before 4pm. It gets pretty hectic on the weekends, so I highly suggest that you come during the week to pick up your items. pros; -lots of parking -short lines. -easy accees to freeway.

In short, the management people in this Costco was trying to manipulate me however they felt like it. The front end manager was very rude and unprofessional. When asked for the store return policy, she mentioned that it's up to the store how they want to handle returns and it's usually based on the circumstance and the history of customers' prior transactions. Two weeks after I had bought a BBQ grill, I found the display piece at much lower price. I wanted to return mine and buy display one instead, but the front end manager refused to take the return based on the merit of her understandings of my intension of buying the display one to save my money. Note that the one I had purchased hasn't been used and still in the original box.

I had always been a Sam's Club member and never Costco, the reason.... I have no idea, just picked randomly I guess. I came here with a friend of mine who needed to pick stuff up. It was a nice place, only difference between the two stores is probably their layout and some of the products offered. I'm not sure about pricing or other aspects. Staff was friendly and helpful. Store kept clean.

I love this Costco. While most of the staff is not over-the-top fake customer friendly, they are business- like helpful and that's fine with me. However I was put off when I askef one of the sample servers if I could have a sample of the Ezekiel bread without the cheese she was adding for a little sandwich because I'm lactose intolerant and can't eat the cheese. "NO" she said rather curtly. So I walked away, not wanting to experience any more of her wrath. Come on...you folks can be nicer and a little more flexible than that. No "have a great day" philosophy there!

I'm always a huge fan of Costco. The give you a lot at real affordable prices. My favorite is the rotisserie chicken for under $5. Incredible! On our trip here we were able to get two loaves of freshly baked bread for $5. This store also had a lot of tastings when we were here. We couldn't keep up with all the things to try! Service was friendly and fast. Before leaving, I suggest grabbing a sandwich, or a churro, or a cup of soft serve ice cream. If you don't have AMEX, make sure to bring your checkbook or cash. The only negative thing about Costco is that they do not take all major credit cards. But with the cheap prices I won't hold it against them.

If you hate crowds and waiting in line, don't come here on a Sunday! The lines are crazy long, but they do go by pretty quickly. The greeter working at the front today (super enthusiastic African American male) was very pleasant and made mine along with several customers day! I wish I got his name so I could leave a compliment for him to his manager but didn't get the chance. He is the epitome of great customer service! Moving on, there are a good number of samples available here on sundays. So if youre looking to get free samples or try the selections they sell here, sundays or the weekend is your best bet. Prices here aren't always better than others so make sure to be a smart shopper and compare prices. We bought a 24 pack of sprite that was cheaper at Walmart than at costco. Make sure to grab a polish hot dog or frozen yogurt on your way out. the food they have is quite good and there hasn't been an item I haven't enjoyed.

I love this place! The staff seems to genuinely enjoy their jobs and I like how quickly the inventory turns to new items. I buy all of my households fresh fruit here because the quality is tremendous and the prices are much cheapter than at a grocery store. Sign up for the American Express membership which provides even more savings and no annual fee for the credit card.

I really like Costco. I love how clean it is, I love that it's organized. It's fairly easy to maneuver through just don't come around 11am-1pm because that seems to be the time that everyone turns into a snail and doesn't know what excuse me means. Once you learn when and when not to go it makes it pretty easy to get your shopping done. The people working to "food court" always seem super rushed, in a hurry, and because of that they come off a little rude. Other than that, the quality of what's put out is awesome.

Worst Experience. I went to WDM Costco for my son's passport photos. The lady at the counter was not helpful.She took the photo of my son after correcting her. I paid for photo and USB. I came back after 35 mins to pick the order. When I asked her can you check if the order is ready but she replied "I don't know".She was the one who took photo and payment. Then she said she doesn't know about USB part and asked me to wait. I waited for 40 mins.She was not sure when her other colleague will come back to help her.I asked "Give me the photo, I will collect USB later." Then She said Sorry the USB was there in the envelope. I said "that's fine". When I was going back to home I looked at the printed photo, It had spots. I got disappointed, wasted my 2 hrs and returned everything to costco.

Not really sure what to say about this place except that it's HUGE and has lots of stuff that we end up buying while there! They have a pretty good selection. We have enjoyed some their in house brands that we hadn't tried before coming here. They also have a nice little food court area that is very reasonably priced. The one thing that you have to make sure of, besides being a member, is that they only accept debit cards or american express when it come to paying with cards. They do have an ATM onsite but like every other private ATM, they charge a fee.
