"Costco makes it easy to return and get a refund on just about any product, even without a receipt. But this warehouse retailer has its limits. Some items, like electronics, have shorter return windows, and others you can't return at all, like alcohol or tires, even if you used them just once. And when it comes to food returns, some items have extra rules."
"Egg returns usually fall under two categories: Customers either heard about a recall or they bought too many for whatever reason. While not the norm, there have been situations where Costco stores won't take back eggs bought in bulk. This usually happens when people panic-buy essentials during food shortages. If you buy too many at once, some locations ask you to sign a bulk order form that states you can't return them after a certain period."
"Eggs are some of the most frequently returned food items at Costco, along with fresh produce, dairy products, and packaged meat. While the retailer factors this kind of spoilage into its business model, sometimes returns come flooding in unexpectedly. This happened during a recall of over 10,000 units of Kirkland Signature organic eggs in 2024 due to possible Salmonella contamination. When this happens, returns and refunds are processed, no questions asked."
Costco allows returns and refunds on most products, often without a receipt. Certain categories have shorter return windows or are non-returnable, including electronics, alcohol, and tires. Food returns follow extra rules; eggs can be subject to those limits. Returns of eggs commonly occur due to recalls or overbuying, and some locations refuse bulk returns or require signed bulk order forms that limit returns after a set period. In recall situations, refunds are processed and returned eggs are discarded for health and safety reasons. Perishable items cannot be re-shelved once removed from the store. Small quantities are usually easy to return.
