This will be my 5th Costco location I've visited this past year. I try to go to different states because I've heard each one is not the same. I walked in with the list but came out with WAY more than I expected. This store is super clean, organized and categorized. My favorite is the freezer and wine section. The only con with this Costco is where I live, if you buy 12 bottles, they give you 10% off, so I am assuming the state of Georgia doesn't offer that. Their clothes are very reasonable in pricing, I found pajamas for only $6.97! Their meat, seafood, refrigerated and deli section are solid. Last is the pharmacy, I love to get my Zyrtec D here because.... Again..it's cheaper. This place has it all! Spent a lot of money at this location but worth it! Found items that they didn't have back home in Ohio. Costco fan for life. read more

Costco offers many healthy options for food! even the cat food is healthier than most cat food brands. I get a lot of food for a reasonable price! The staff is always friendly and helpful! The store is always clean! read more

Great selection. Some people compare Costco to Sams Club. I see higher quality on non food items. Selection is similar. I personally see value in being a member. If you don't use the quantity, go in with friends or family. Employees are friendly and willing to help. read more

The Augusta Costco is great on service and product availability. What I like: the hours and the customer service. What I love: the ready to cook meal options, the cuts of meat, fish and chicken. What could be better: the checkout process during the high volume hours. If you are trying to meal prep to save time and money, Costco is the place to go. The only thing I wish they had is an aisle map so I could plan my shopping to go faster LOL. read more

What can I say? This place is worth the yearly membership fee. I was a Sam's Club member for a number of years, but once I did a visitor visit here I never went back. The selection and prices are unbeatable. Now do I buy stuff (aka, clothes, pastries, other assorted snacks) that aren't on my list when I come? Sure, but that's on me. Don't come here hungry, but do leave room for the samples. I also will mention that the produce I get here (including organic) lasts longer than when I have purchased it elsewhere. And those muffins, that is my true weakness in life. I try to avoid that section if possible. My tip to anyone is if you have a list (and know you'll stick to it) is go up by the Food Court and get a couple of boxes before you start shopping. That way you can unload to scan, pay, then load them directly back into the boxes to keep them in place in your vehicle. read more

Costco always has great deals if you're looking to purchase things in bulk. Similar to Sam's club, they are perfect for purchasing groceries in bulk. There is a membership fee you have to purchase, which is paid yearly. They have special promotions on bulk items where you're unable to find elsewhere like Gold standard whey protein. Those buckets you find at GNC or other vitamin shops are about $60+ but Costco sells those 10lb bags for half the price and sometimes they have promotions. If you're also a pokemon collector, they have special Costco only pokemon card sets or merchandise like comforters. I've bought plenty of unique pokemon sets here at a discounted rate. Only downside, just like all other Costco's is they don't accept American Express credit cards. However, just like Sam's club, they do have a scan and go option on your smart phone. read more

I've been wanting to write a review for costco for quite sometime. While I do think we don't always get all the cool stuff some of the other costco carry like the west coast or northeastern ones I think ours definitely have positives and my most recent trip 100% was amazing. First off I'd you've ever read any of my other reviews you will know parking lots are the death of me and it may make or break my experience. I absolutely love the parking lot of the augusta costco and so many of my friend agree (we've been to a bunch in a variety of states). I can park almost anywhere and not feel super far from the entrance. I think the location of the gas station also makes sense (if I don't need to go to the store I can just get gas and leave....other costco I have driven through a busy parking lot just to get to the gas part). To get to what impressed me the most during my recent trip we have to start back to maybe 1 year ago I needed new tires..while I don't remember the exact encounter I remember it was pleasant. I called ahead to check they had the tire in stock and were really helpful when I asked about tire size and whatnot. I recently went in due to low tire pressure to see if there's a leak. I didn't have an appointment but the wait time was very reasonable at 1.5 hrs. They called to tell me they found the leak but it was not one they could fix but they did have a replacement tire and because I got my tires there it comes with a road hazard warranty....the tire was prorated and was a steal how much I paid (tire and tire disposal fee...no labor charge you'd get from a dealership). And when they called to tell me the news and make sure i was good with the plan they said they'd get it done asap because I'd been there a while (which honestly wasn't super long. I made one small lap and they got dinner from the food court before make another small lap to pick up a couple of items and got the call they were done). read more

What a scam! The pitch you a Visa credit card to save an additional 3-4% on top of the 2% for their gold card. The print out the Visa temporary card for you to use one purchases until your hard card comes in the mail, but the temporary card won't work when you checkout and they say they can't do anything about it. If you can't execute what you sell, don't sell it! I cancelled my membership that I've only had for 2 days. read more

It amazes me how friendly and yet incompetent the employees at Costco are! This includes both the warehouse or online. Last year it took me 4 attempts to get a refund check, with every employee in the warehouse location telling me what the issue was. Now online after 14 years of using the same email address, Costco.com cannot hook up. Again, everyone appears to have been trained by different people or lack the capabilities of understanding. Yes, eventually the problem is resolved, but not after hours or weeks. Also, to note, they are moving away from brand names to their own products which are a lower grade... more $$$ for them. read more

I am depressed. I went to Costco today and saw they had spaghetti as a free sample. I went up to the little table and there were no cups of spaghetti. I didn't think it was a big deal so I just stayed 20+ minutes and there was still no spaghetti! I would have stayed longer but I had to leave and I can't have any spaghetti at all! I was really looking forward to that spaghetti! read more

The local Costco has a handy location near major roads. The gas station is large and has little signs indicating which pumps are free; I have not had a problem with waiting here and the price is cheaper than other options. Actually going inside the store left me with a decent selection of home goods. A lot of the food and other items are either too much for my needs or occasionally not up to quality standards, but the selective shopper can find plenty of things worth buying. I imagine it's busy at peak times, but I haven't seen it as bad as some other Costco's I've been to. I'm not one who does all my shopping there, but it fills a niche. read more

My husband and I had to make a trip up to Augusta for a few days last month. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to just go inside the Costco there and do pirouettes and leap (me, not hubby, he wouldn't do it with me) through the aisles of goodies. It had been soooooo long since I had physically been in a Costco store! The joy! There is no Costco in Savannah, so Augusta Yelpers, be grateful! (Note to Costco: Hey, Costco! Why does Augusta get a Costco and not Savannah?! No fair! Expansion Dept, are you reading this?!) Even though we don't have a Costco in Savannah, we decided it was still worth keeping a membership and ordering our stuff online (even though there is a small upcharge on most items, but we're still saving). We weren't looking for anything in particular, but of course, we found a whole bunch of stuff and stocked up on our usual staples. Some goodies I found: Organic roasted chestnuts. These are already peeled. I usually get mine at the Korean grocery store, but this was a box of 6 pouches. I grew up eating these snacks as a child in South Korea. I love these! Perricone Mascara (2 for the price of one on Amazon). Fuyu Persimmons - if you've never had these! You should. Out of the 2 common types, this is the hard one. Wash and eat like an apple! Cuisinart Immersion Blender, comes with storage case and 2 other attachments and it was only $35! My husband loves the Bourbon infused coffee that they carry there. It's whole bean, so take advantage of their industrial coffee grinder after the cashes. I think this product might be location specific? Some other tips for shopping at Costco: - Costco has a no questions asked return policy, unless you try to return a dead Christmas tree after Christmas. Ever heard this story? Even they have limits. They broke up with the customer. Don't be silly and be reasonable. - Online orders are a breeze. The prices seems to be a tad higher, but still worth it. Especially if you don't have a store nearby. Most non-food items ship for free (usually indicated on item listing), but orders of grocery items usually ship for free for orders $75+ - Gas is cheap! - Tire Center is great - If you like to drink, their liquor is cheap and their house brand is usually the closest in taste to the known brand, I am told (I don't drink). - Costco pizza at snack bar only $10 for a ginormous pie! - Samples are the best! Costco shoppers know what I mean. Unfortunately, due to COVID, there are none at this time, obviously. Stay safe, Everyone! read more

My go to place to find food for BBQ, cookouts and daily holding of Lysol cleaning supplies and toilet paper. This trip I wanted to mention their great customer service. In the past, we went there looking for brisket for our BBQ and the meat dept associate help direct us to when a new shipment of brisket were coming in, helping us with our BBQ weekend. Today, I was looking at some of the thermos/Yeti/water flask, Brian a manager I found on the floor was VERY helpful in showing me the different selections Costco had and their endocarp special on Thermos. I also want to praise the optics department, of their ability to repair my glasses several times after my puppy chewed on them while I slept. read more

I will no longer be buying tires at Costco. I had a terrible experience today with my rotation and balance. The attendent assured me at 10 AM sharp that there was only one appointment in front of me and that, more than likely, my car would be ready before Noon. I live close so, although I had not received a call, I walked over at 1 PM to pick up my car. When I arrived at the desk I could see my car up on the lift and another attendent told me they were just starting and it would be another 45 minutes. Again, I walked home. Since I still had not received a call at 2:30, I called them for a status. "Yes, it's finished; they finished it twenty minutes after you left." I wanted to say, "Thanks for the call, Dipshit". To add insult to injury it started raining on the last walk so I got wet. The coup de gras... I decided to buy one thing for my wife and it took my twenty minutes to get through the f'ing self-checkout line... because people are wickid retahdid! FML read more

This is my 2nd visit to this location since moving to the area. Bought a Rotisserie chicken here today and it's bloody raw inside. The skin was nearly burnt while the chicken was raw at the thigh. Need to inspect your Rotisserie ovens. Been buying Costco chickens for decades. Never got one like this. Gross!!! Hoping we don't get sick from the little bit we ate before noticing it. read more

Employees are super nice & shelves are always stocked. I do not like how they rearrange products all the time.

Through Instacart, I have purchased their products safely through contactless delivery since the beginning of the pandemic. Costco has the cheapest organic dried figs, organic red cherries, and toilet paper two-ply around here. Their generic brand is called Kirkland. The Kirkland premium towel was of great quality and a good deal. read more

Love this Costco! Lines are usually not too long and is a great place to get food/whatever you need. I especially love the food court- a full giant pizza is only 10$, which is a deal you can't find anywhere else. The gas is also by far the cheapest in town. 10/10! read more

Costco in Augusta is great! Everyone is so helpful - we met Brittany who was eager to give us advice on keeping brown sugar from getting hard and the lady that was working in the snack area search eagerly for what we were looking for just to mention two. Cashiers were helpful and smiling and the store was super clean! You should definitely consider getting a membership if you do not have one already! read more

5/16/20: got there when they opened. They had just put out toilet paper, paper towels, hand sanitizer, and bleach. Still no Lysol wipes. Freshly stocked on chicken and meats. They took the barricades down, placed stickers for social distancing and directional markers to limit face to face with people. Masks required. read more

I've rated this Costco before. I'm not sure why they don't help their disabled customers better. I need a riding cart bc of my disability. The stores policy is that employees cannot help load in the parking lot. Not even for disabled customers parked directly in front of the doors. So, I loaded my car. And left the riding cart next to my vehicle.an employee was quick to retrieve the scooter but not to help. SMH. I wonder is sams club has the same policy read more

I shops here at least weekly. In general, I can always find what I need or a suitable alternative. My only disappointment is when they either temporarily or permanently discontinue stocking a product I've fallen in love with (like the frozen purées strawberries packets I add to Greek yogurt!). The store is clean and well-organized. The prices are basically unbeatable. The employees are knowledgeable and helpful. Some of them are even funny! I enjoy going but try to pick times when it's less crowded. However, even at peak times they have many lanes open and the cashiers are super efficient. read more

Costco is the best but you'll probably spend more than you intended to when you go there. I make fun of my wife for always buying stuff that's not on the list, but at Costco I've accepted this as an inevitability, even for myself. They just have so many cool things and good deals. You want some grapes? How about fifty pounds of grapes for the prices of one pound! If you go on the weekends there's a million sample stands showcasing the delicious foods that Costco sells. The best part is that I'll go back to the same sample stands over and over and eat a ton of the same samples and the employees running the sample stands are either too busy portioning out the samples to notice me or they just don't care. It's one of those because I seriously doubt that me coming back and saying "Oh what's this? I guess I'll try it!" In deferent accents is actually fooling anybody. If you're not a member you gotta go get a membership! The one star I've deducted is because the cashiers are always pedaling the Executive Membership to me and it's annoying. I've done the cost analysis and based on how often I go there, the 2% cash back you get won't cover the $60 executive membership fee so I would have a negative return on my investment. And even after explaining that to the cashier they still tell me to sign up for the executive membership anyways which is super annoying because either they're not listening to me or they just don't understand what I'm saying and I'm tired of repeating myself to them. But with that aside Costco is a five star place. read more

Love this Costco. It's one of the few Costco stores that I can say isn't as crowded as most Costco stores are. I suppose it will get busier as it gets closer to the holidays, yet I'm encouraged that it's still going to be less crazy than the ones I'm used to frequenting in Cali. The gas prices are awesome as well - Thx Costco read more

Absolutely astonishing that someone turned in my wallet and cell phone w/ over $1500 in cash plus tons of credit cards and ID. I am so humbled to have been so lucky to have this happen where honest ppl turned it in and wonderful Costco employees tried to contact me and held on to it till I realized I had left it in the cart. I felt blessed and sooo lucky. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love Costco BECAUSE of it's wonderful employees! read more

Normally I love Costco, but DONT BUY A CAR BATTERY HERE. Just about anyplace else, even the budget places like Pep Boys or Trak Auto cart the battery out with tools and install it in your car. Costco? They sell you the battery. YOU have to hope you have the right tools in your car to do it yourself in the parking lot. Then you have to trundle the old battery back in, wait in the Returns line (!) and get the money for the old battery. read more

This is an excellent Costco, I've never had any issues and the staff is always friendly and professional. During the pandemic I appreciate their care for customers, keeping things clean and requiring masks. This is my favorite Costco in the state! I work statewide so that's a compliment for sure! They always have what I need in stock. I watch my sugar so I eat a lot of fresh meat and vegetables. Their cheese selection is great, always stocked. Everything is always fresh and clean. Great store. read more

We are from Atlanta and used to BJ's. Costco has more options but recently went a saw two families ahead of us go in without a card check. Of course me & my husband enter & they stop us (a blonde woman and a gentleman staffing the front). We have a membership & showed the ID. Left immediately after. Felt very unwelcome after that experience. Let's all keep it simple and professional: Check everyone or no one. We love rules, I just wonder why they don't apply to everyone? read more

Always crowded, can't even get through the aisles. Don't even try to get something from the snack bar, it will be about 30 minutes. Which is fine but with Rude staff that isn't helpful makes you not want to go. I had a service dog with me at checkout and a red headed girl came up and aggressively told me I need to leave when she alerted my mom about her blood pressure. She jumped down my throat and said I need to leave IMMEDIATELY and assumed the dog was not working. I couldn't get a word in edgewise to let her know that she was working and take her out of the cart- I didn't appreciate the energy and I could tell that she was not going to be responsive. I stated I was leaving I literally scanned all of my items and was trying to pay, she went so far to grab another cart and continued berating me while I tried to close out the transaction. I asked her to leave because it's distracting and too much while I'm trying to gather my things and close out not to mention stressing out about my mom's blood pressure that has caused her to have detached retinas in the past. Raising her voice and her aggression made me raise mine because she was making an issue where there wasn't one and discriminating without trying to have a normal conversation just yelling rules, barking orders, and throwing her weight around. I should have waited for the manager to come but honestly none of the staff is ever helpful there so I left. She made the whole interaction last longer by being so dramatic and caused a scene for nothing. She even had another girl follow me out to take the cart and she was just as condescending. I mean Costco is Costco so if you need stuff go just steer clear of the staff read more

Rude Condescending obnoxious front end employees. In the past month I've been to this Costco twice when I come into town for my small business. Both times were unpleasant. I use the self checkout with my daughter we do two separate transactions each of us have a membership card with out pictures on it. A few weeks back we were checking out and the team members were checking our cards to make sure we were the people on the card. They grilled us when we told them 1/2 the items were mine. Saying they're really cracking down and making sure the person paying is actually that person. Acting like we were trying to get away with something. It was really aggressive we didn't need to be told all the extra about them cracking down when we are using our own cards and our own credit cards. Then today we brought my service dog in who is a 5 pound mini Daushound we had her in a soft carrier in a shopping cart because they store was very crowded and unsafe for her to walk around on the floor. We walked around the store for an hour without any issues as we were cashing out Happy my service dog alerted me with one bark I gave her a command to let her know I'm aware and as quickly as I did that some girl with a bad hair dye job that looked like she hadn't washed it in weeks came up to me and was very rude and aggressive i couldn't get a word in she never took a breath to let me speak. She said no dogs are allowed in the store except Service dogs much be on a leash feet on the ground not in a cart, I must leave the store immediately. My daughter said she's leaving now just paying for my items and she's leaving after she's done. She said you need to take the dog out of here NOW!!! My daughter said I'm trying to pay for this if someone could fix what's going on with the register I'll leave. The girl said im going to get you another cart to put that dog in and get it out of here. When your done with the cart I need you to walk this cart back in here. My daughter told her we're not doing that and asked her to go away because I was having a medical issue and her aggression was making things worse when she told her to go away she said I'm going to get my manager. Nobody really wants anyone to know their medical issues nor do they want to leave in an ambulance. I was trying to remain calm and finish up with my own transaction but I felt extremely uncomfortable embarrassed and humiliated. I would have liked to has the opportunity to sit down have a cold drink take my medicine and leave but my daughter had been demanded to leave the store. So I slowly walked to my car unloaded all my items and another employee followed me out saying she needed the cart to sanitize it because they have customers that are allergic I said oh well she was in a dog carrier and she snubbed her nose up at me that's when I told her the dog was actually in two carts. I get that they have other customers but we were paying customers as well with a service dog and medical issues just like people that are allergic. read more

On a busy day don't expect Costco to hold furniture for you even just a few hours. Regardless of the dollar amount you spend they just won't work with you. I ended up just sitting and waiting with my couch until the truck could come and pick it up. This was after I was told by their customer service that they would hold items up to 24 hours. I asked this question before having the 6 box heavy duty items loaded onto two flat beds and pulled up to the register. I get up to the register and a young man who was polite and a supervisor told me that they were just too busy to hold the items. Even clearly seeing that they were holding items for other customers. After I explained that their customer service told me that I could he still said no. So I kindly asked to speak to a manager. The manager was nice but at first was telling me no. I explained again that I was already instructed that I could. She then said well if we do these will be taken to the back of the store. During our polite conversation the nice man who helped me pull the carts up had already found a nice spot out of the way and next to a picnic bench. I decided to just go ahead purchase the couch and sit and wait for my son Inlove to come with his truck. I give three stars because all the store workers and checkout lady were very helpful and kind. I think they even were like ummm why are they telling you no lol. With all that said everyone was polite and spoke kindly no one was rude. Well anyway I can't wait to get home and try out my new couch. Another customer approached me while I was debating and told me she bought one last season and said I would never regret it. She said it's like sitting on butter you just melt into it. From there I was sold. Lol read more

Costco - Item 1441912. FYI: 7-31-21 Only 6 left in store. - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Do not purchase any big ticket items requiring delivery! Once product leaves the store, Costco does not accept responsibility! I ordered 2 kitchen appliances online 3/14/23. Four separate appts in, I still do not have the appliances in my home. The front panel of the dishwasher was found to be dented during the 2nd scheduled appt (for installation). This happens so no problem - I just called to get it replaced. Since that time, I have scheduled 2 more appts for the new DW to be delivered/installed. Delivery did not show & their only solution was to schedule yet ANOTHER appt - taking off work & hoping they show (?) I refuse to miss anymore work for this fiasco & asked for a refund. Unfortunately, they want to schedule appts for that too! Unsatisfied, I went to my local Costco & spoke with the GM who told me his hands were tied since they were a separate company but I could bring the appliances back to their store & he could refund. So now, I am stuck with a dented DW & 400 lb fridge or hire someone to load it up & deliver back to the store. (No one is told Costco is not responsible once you pay for your item.) I also asked the GM - "If I can't purchase big ticket items without Costco 'backing' their sales & service, what do I pay an Executive Membership for?" He replied, "that is for the 'ability' to shop here." Needless to say, I will not be renewing my membership & will be telling everyone I come in contact with. read more
