Why not? The food court menu is different. I tried the Korean style chicken wings and bubble tea. The chicken wings are ok. I wished the sauce came in a container rather than a package. The boba was a slush and too sweet- would not get again. There's also Vegemite here, which you don't see in the states. read more

This was one out of 4 Costcos in Melbourne, Australia. This Costco had many products that are not available in the US. It is not as busy as the Costcos in the US. The area where rotisserie chickens are cooked was close. read more

This Costco was really close to our hotel and I couldn't pass up the chance to see what the AUS version of Costco was like, compared to the US. The answer - eerily similar! Of course, there are going to be differences but in general the store layout was almost identical. I saw a lot less Kirkland branded items in the frozen/refrigerated areas but I'm guessing that has to do with really strict import rules here. Otherwise, lots of deals! We are traveling so just nabbed a few bottles of wine but for families that have the space to stock up, you'll save a ton of money. read more

I heart Costco. It's exactly like the Costcos you'd find in the US...everything from the massive rolls of kitchen towels to the free samples of jelly beans and instant noodles. Plus, they have a larger selection of American products than Woolies or Coles. I have a love-hate relationship with the the quantities on offer. I really don't need 1 kg of hummus, but then I'm super happy to only have to buy laundry detergent once very few months. The produce and meats are really good. The steak fillets are top notch...butcher quality for the price you'd find at the supermarkets. The prices are also fantastic especially for wines and bubbles...$52 for Veuve vs $90 at BWS. This is where I buy my booze. You can easily "pay" back Costco's annual membership price just by buying a case of wine. It's 5 stars in my book...where else can you buy a $5000 cartier watch and a 24 pack of pop-tarts?!? Just be sure to avoid the weekends when it's an absolute zoo! read more

They say a change is as good as a holiday and I think switching to shopping at Costco is probably the closest thing to that phrase ever ringing true. It becomes this fascinating BBQ conversation where everyone is either dying to know what really lies behind the guarded walls, or eager to tell the tales of their own bulk buy experiences and theories on the product quality. "Did you hear that the home-brand Vodka is the same as Grey Goose?!" they shriek. "Check out this giant bottle of hot sauce!" we reply. It's bizarre, but also entertaining. As a two-person 'DINK' household, there is absolutely zero reason for us to own a Costco membership. We actually have it to bulk buy for work purposes and they give you a free household membership to go with it. As someone who is likely to host a party for 100+ people, it can come in handy...but you really need to be doing massive shops regularly for the outlay of buying in bulk to be worth your while. The quality of the products is good. We got stuff like nearly half a kilo of jamon serrano for next to nothing and we won't be buying toilet paper again any time soon. The layout of the store is overwhelming and you'll probably spend any savings you may have in impulse purchases of novelty sized items. I also spied a lot of items that were actually more expensive than the local supermarket like meat so you would need to do your homework to know what you're saving on. The shopping experience itself wasn't pleasant at all, like any grocery or warehouse style shopping. Watching the flood of enormous overflowing trolleys and hoards of families stampede back to their vehicles from the Costco elevator was almost cartoonish and I would never, ever, ever come here on a weekend. Ok for the right occasion, but not a place I would visit by choice otherwise! read more

Costco - Big. - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Docklands, VIC

Omg Costco! A place where u can buy in bulk to feed the whole tribe plus random sofa, mattress, jumping castles so your whole tribe can live with you. Costco often have random stuff so one day you might find a KITCHENAID on sale, the next week it will be gone. I guess it lures you to visit more often cos u always ended up buying more stuff than u need. Like, always. Membership cost about $65 annually but seriously I think we saved that much on our first visit there. For us, the cheapest stuff to buy there are toilet paper, kitchen paper and facial tissues (yes, we obviously use a lot of those!). Carmen's museli are really cheap there as well as nappies, if you are into those. Of course those giant tubs of yoghurt/ icecream/ Nutella/ peanut butter/ vegimite a are fantastic too but seriously we don't have the space for it, so I could only looked at it longingly whilst pushing my giant trolley towards the toilet paper section... Lol read more

Costco - That's a LOT of Condoms!!!! - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Docklands, VIC

Am I really the first to give 5 stars to this place? What most people wouldn't expect from a membership for this place is that it works worldwide. WORLDWIDE. This place is pristine, and it looks so enormous from the outside. Has the biggest elevator I've ever seen in my life. We went on a weekday, so we missed the madness we'd expect on a weekend. But even for a weekday, it did not seem nearly as crowded as I was used to. One thing we didn't expect was that they had samples of moon cake, which are taro pastries Chinese people normally see around Lunar New Year. I actually tried the green tea flavored moon cake, which is almost unheard of. A difference I noticed was that they didn't use empty box portions to assist us in transporting our goods. At this point, it does not seem as if Australians are quite ready for the giant portions of inventory, but things can change. Tough to make a case since this is currently the only location in Melbourne and only 1 of 3 in all of Australia. Melbourne, say hello to American gluttony. read more

Costco is a giant warehouse that sells grocery items in bulk at a reduced price. The pricing isn't reduced because they are old or nearing their due date, they are just simply cheap- most likely because its bulk. It isn't just groceries here at Costco, they've also got TV's for a few hundred dollars cheaper- AND the warranty lasts as long as your Costco membership. Meaning if I buy a TV in 2011, and it breaks in 2020- If I'm still a Costco member in 2020, they'll replace the tv! Costco also sell diamonds-yes real diamonds! Clothing, cubby houses, outdoor furniture, inflatable boats, books, sheds and many more odd things you wouldn't expected- at unexpectedly low prices! A yearly membership with Costco is $60 which includes one supplementary membership card to someone of the same address (family/housemate). Costco is extremely strict with their membership, there is a photo of you printed onto your membership card and unless accompanied by a card holder- you can't enter the warehouse. When it comes to paying, the cardholder must pay. Yes! They actually check the name on the credit to see if it matches. So no 'borrowing' your friends card. Overall I definitely think the membership is worth it due to the amount of savings. Costco also have a pretty great cafeteria where hot dogs and giant slices of pizza are sold for just a couple of dollars. read more

Here's a tip to live by: DO NOT attempt Costco on an empty stomach, with a hangover, whilst desperately in need of an afternoon nap. If you do, you may die- or wish you were dead, which I think is worse. Costco is my personal version of hell. Everything is so freakin big. I don't think you can overstate how big things are here. Think, Texas big. United States big. Everything-that's-wrong-with-the-world BIG. For that reason, Costco was useless for me. I like to buy small portions of everything so I don't end up throwing stuff out. And, I'm just one person, how much s**t could I possibly need? A LOT, if Costco is to be believed. Here is my tip- if you are a normal person, stay away. If you are a harrassed mother of 5 teenage boys who consume 2 kilos and peanut butter and go through 100 toilet rolls a week, you MAY, I repeat, MAY benefit from an annual trip to Costco. But for God's sake, keep the Xanax handy and have a good lie down before you go. read more

Costco - via costco.com.au - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Docklands, VIC

It seems like there is a lot of Costco hating going on and hating of the US of A for that matter. I can completely understand why Costco isn't for everyone. For starters it is located n the Docklands which frankly still has a long way to go before it is a fine area of our city. Secondly, if you run kind of a small ship and don't have a massive family to feed, then it is absolute overkill. But for businesses and big families, I can see why it might come in helpful. For those that haven't been yet, I'd recommend checking it out for a social experiment. Eat plenty of samples and have a damn good time exploring. read more

I used to live in North Melbourne and would frequent Costco every fortnight or so for regular groceries. It's great if you have space to store items in bulk, you won't beat Costco prices. Now that I live in Box Hill, I don't visit as much but will still buy my essentials (toilet paper, paper towel, laundry/dish detergent etc) there every month or so. We're only a two person household so we usually buy a lot of the food and freeze most of it (chicken, bread, mince etc), the salmon is a must (again cut in half then freeze some of it for later), the fruit is usually very reasonable and the same price as much less at IGA, Safeway etc. Great thing is, you can use your card anywhere in the world and I've definitely saved the $60 a year in the first couple of shops. read more

Quite possibly my favourite place in the city. What does that say about me? Anyways I love a good deal and there are many to be had here if you shop smart. I get the essentials here like sauce, toilet paper, and toothpaste. But there are treasures to be found as well! Cakes are the best and super cheap, fun American treats like pumpkins and pumpkin pies around Halloween time, Amazing selection of alcohol, and quality meats at a great price. The customer service is incredible and the return policy is on your side. It's always an adventure coming in but it's always fun. I always spend far too much money but I'm never disappointed. read more

Costco - A beautiful day at Costco. - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Docklands, VIC

After reading everyone's reviews I realise that not many people actually know the real reason behind the membership scheme. Costco has TWO GUARANTEES. 1. On Merchandise: We guarantee your satisfaction on EVERY product we sell with a FULL refund. 2. On Membership: We will refund your membership fee in full at any time if you are dissatisfied. What this means and I know from experience, is that if you are unhappy with say a set of $250 pots and pans after using them for 3 years they will refund you, not store credit, the entire amount no questions asked. (I've done this numerous times) People in the US use this to upgrade TVs every few years, or mobile phones or upgrade anything they like which isn't a consumable which you can also do here in Australia. When it comes to consumables well you just have to realise that yes it is bulk! That's how they can knock %5-20 retail. If you are overwhelmed by the size of the place Costco is designed like IKEA. Both storage and retail coexist in the same warehouse to save on transport and storage costs but they just don't care about looking pretty. Hope that helps! read more

I'm torn about my review of Costco. Part of me likes that fact that I only need to go shopping once every three months for the boring essentials like toilet paper, washing powder and cleaning products. Part of me loves that I can (surprisingly) get great quality gourmet goodies like Seranno Jamon, large tubs of Yarra Valley Dairy feta and gigantic salamis. Then there's the part of me that baulks at the grotesque amounts of food on display. Really, do I need a kilo bag of corn chips and a pizza so big it won't even fit in a regular domestic oven? Perhaps it's the blatant consumerism on display that irks me, but they must be doing something right because I find myself going back every once in a while. At the right time (say, when you're running low on cleaning products or about to throw a house party) then Costco is an ideal place to visit. Avoid the weekends and bring plenty of patience - there's no getting out of there quickly. read more

Typical - the American rushing to defend Costco. But I feel like it's completely justified. Okay, let's dissect these arguments against it: 1) "Costco has a lot of things you don't really need." I agree, who needs strange little knick knacks, weird things that don't really make any sense, etc? But there are actually plenty of Australian stores that also sell things "you don't need". Figurines never serve any purpose aside from decoration or if someone is just an avid collector. Just because America has the brand of being a hugely consumerist/capitalist place, doesn't mean that everything that comes with it is awful. 2) "Costco's wholesale system's too odd. Why would you need such huge things?" There are plenty of people out there with large families, where Costco-sized options end up being a great deal. Costco is not the place for individual purpose. --- Obviously, Costco isn't for everybody, but to deny its useful qualities would just be plain intellectually dishonest. Right now I house-share with a group of people and Costco works wonders. read more

I'm not sure AsiaPac is ready for Costco. Being a North American (Canadian who lived in the US for several years) Costco is nothing new to me. It's a bulk buying warehouse. You either get things in large sizes, or lots of averaged sized things packaged together. I've lived in Melbourne for over three years now, so I'm over the sticker shock of Australian prices. But when I finally decided to renew my membership and join Costco here, it was like a breath of fresh air. On the first trip, I spent $400! I bought Tide (they sell tide!! and bounce!), dill pickles (oh how I'ved missed you!) real maple syrup, organic salsa, fruit and veggies in massive quantities, and a heap of other stuff in their house brand (Kirkland). It was a trip down memory lane, tho my Australian partner was less than impressed. My main observation was that because Costco was still rather novel here, the place (other than right when they open) is chockers. That and locals haven't yet learned the art of navigating the aisles. A trip to Costco should be more like a trip to your local grocer, and not the chaos that it is. I reckon this will get better eventually. I hope. If not, make sure you go within the first hour they open. Or possibly during work hours on a weekday. read more

By all the things. Big things, little things in big things. But first you must buy membership to buy all the things. Oh you sneaky little bulk warehouse. What a great way to take my money just so I can give you even more later down the track. Yes this place is interesting to go. It's almost worth the $$$ for the people watching alone. But the customer service mustn't be in stock right now. You need to show your card for everything. From access to the car park, to the store and the check out. No longer will you see the smiling faces of the select few chosen to represent Costco. Especially if you have misplaced your card and don't have a zillion points of Costco card ID (like the Costco card) to prove that you are a member. They don't appreciate if you offer your first born children. Costco is worth the visit if you throwing a big house party or corporate event. For a small household of two we either need to combine with other couples or find friends to eat all the food and use the mass packs of toilet paper. read more

Firstly, a store where you need to pay a membership fee to gain entry or be granted entry as a members "plus one", are you kidding?! The Docklands location is kind of perfect for Costco, let the bogans experience the cosmopolitan Docklands and then load their cars up with bulk toilet paper. I understand that not every household can afford to buy touchy feely organic local products but I don't think Costco's low prices are justifiable for a destination visit. The local ALDI surely wouldn't be THAT much more expensive and I have seen cameras/electronics at JB hifi for similar prices. They have cheap designer goods you argue! Yes you can buy a $50 Ralph Lauren polo (half price normal retail) and instantly gain that "just stepped off the yacht" look........ Who are you trying to kid? I walked out of the store feeling rather depressed and holding a large jar of peanut butter for the novelty. I think thats what this store is, an environmentally backwards, hyper consumerism, soon to be landfill novelty. read more

I love Costco, it can be very very costly though if you don't plan ahead. Costco has an amazing selection of things to buy from groceries to clothing, books, kitchen goods, whitegoods, TVs, and the list goes on. The stock rotates with some items in regular supply and others only a once off chance. If you know your prices and check before you head out then there is money to ba saved by buying in bulk at costco. I particularly like the food areas, bulk vegetables and meats mean I can stock up in the fridge and freezer and don't have to shop as often or I can cook up large amounts of food to freeze for later. In bulk is a lot of food though so you have to be prepared otherwise you will end up throwing it out. The options for other items are great, I've found cheaper than regular store brand name shoes, some great workout clothing. Books which I couldn't find in any other stores, drink bottles and kitchen appliances. If you don't know your prices and just buy on a whim then Costco can be super expensive, FUN, but costly. read more

If you can tell me another place that you can get a hot dog and a soft drink with free refills, then I'll eat my hat! But it'd be a really big hat, and I'd probably have about another 9 of them left in my trolley because I just bought the hats at CostCo. Aside from the comically campy café (ba-dum-pssh), this place is a wonderland of warehouse-sized proportions. If you need something big and/or lots of it then it'll be here. Meat (frozen mammoth), produce (James patented out the recipe for his giant peaches), fish (they shot the big one from the Mario Kart games that spits out your trophy), confectionary (Wonka), tents (Confederacy issue), batteries (ladies... *waggles eyebrows*), pants (described by Homer Simpson as, "The most comfortable, perfectly fitting pants of my life"), golf clubs (BIG Big Berthas), and much, much more. It's well worth the $60 membership because the merchandise is all really reasonably priced considering the quantity and it's worth the experience to wander the aisles with big stars in your eyes. Seriously, they have really big plush stars. read more

Whenever my girl goes to Costco I get excited yo. She goes with this awesome lady from her work and she knows all the bargains. The best is when she goes before Meredith Festival and picks up all the mixers and snacks. Hot tips: The massive (like 4 kilo) bags of corn chips are the bomb and the 2 litre bottles of salsa are the perfect wetting agent to help wash those dry little fuckers down when you're in festival mode. The other kettle chips are also great but the bag is so big that they tend to get a little greasy by the bottom of the bag. Don't go to Costco as an alternative to your regular grocery shopping. Treat it as a novelty experience whereby you're introduced to how other fucking strange (or morbidly obese) people shop and you'll have a ball rifling through the enormous packs of almost everything your heart can desire... read more

I've been shopping at Costco for years; initially while living in Canada and then in San Francisco. It's unfortunate that there's only 1 store currently open in Melbourne... they could probably get away with opening at least 6 or 7 here. The Docklands location is always super-busy, which is a pain if you only want to grab a couple of things. That being said, what to expect? No frills bulk purchases at discount prices. They stock a couple of things that you typically can't get elsewhere in Australia that I had become accustomed to living in North America. They do sell everything from TVs to tyres, chocolate to clothing. There are no signs, no information maps, no roving customer assistance. You will have to (or more to the point, want to) wander down each aisle to find the goodies you are looking for. $55 for a business membership or $60 for a family membership, annually. Small price to pay for access to such bargains. read more

Where can you buy a diamond engagement ring, air compressor and some Atlantic Salmon under one roof? Costco! That's right, it's the place where there's something for everyone. Costco has a wide variety of stock that's sold mostly in bulk. It can be hard to justify the need for singles and DINK's to buy this way, but for families and parties it is a godsend. The pricing is generally good and you would rarely pay more than a supermarket's discount price. Plus, you can often get items that are not available in Australia. The downside of Costco is the terrible location (although it is central), and it has this strange half built wheel above it (that appears to be frozen in time). Final tip: Get there early on a weekend or go on a weekday! read more

"..FIRST TIME VISIT..YESTERDAY..OVERWHELMING.." Joined up quite a while ago.. It's a membership thing - Costs $60 per year, per household - you get a CARD with a NUMBER and a PHOTOGRAPH of the primary member..You have to have this card with you or NO ENTRY.. You can apply and pay online, print a confirmation email, present it at Costco's front counter - your card is waiting.. they take a photograph.. that's it.. start shopping..!! We still hadn't yet been.. School Hols at present.. thought Sunday - yesterday - would be a good time to visit.. Well, I think half of Melbourne might have had the same idea....!!!! The place was so full..they had trouble closing at 6pm.. I can DEFINITELY see the attraction with the place - you could easily spend all day here - with the whole family - they've got stuff to entice and hold the interest of everyone.... from little trays of frozen raw lobsters to state of the art concave screen tv's.... quite amazing, really.. when you think about it.... My teenage sons fell in love with a huge 6 person spa.. just sitting there.. upright in the aisle.. for sale..!! Can you believe it..!! No..sorry guys..not today..!! Okay.. we spent about 4 hours 'milling around' - just wasn't anywhere near long enough - you need quite a few visits to get a good feel for 'all the stuff' they have on offer.. Still we managed to grab some really great bargains.. Fabulous Quality Queensland Strawberries - 1.4KGS - $5.. unbelievable..!! Very Lean Australian Minced Beef - $7.50KG..!! Double Packs All-Natural Roti Bread - 1KG - $7.50.. Big Bags Super Fresh Baby Spinach Leaves - 350GMS - $5.. Big Bags Organic Chia Seeds - 1KG - $11.. Huge Bags Kettle Slow-cooked Potato Chips - 500GMS - $5.. Big Trays All Butter Croissants - 12 LARGE - $8.. Huge Jars Marinated Red Capsicum Strips - $11.. Slabs San Pellegrino Arranciata Rossa - 24 CANS - $24.. Free-Range Eggs - 1 & 1/2 DOZ - $6.. Triple Packs Organic Sourdough Baguettes - $6..!! Look..I could go on.. and we actually did.. to the tune of $340.. VERY VERY VERY VERY QUICKLY..!! Still.... can't wait to go again.... Felt as if we'd just touched upon the surface - only bought FRESH FOODS, mainly - there's all the rest to explore yet....!!!! Visited on Sunday 27/09/2015 with my boys. read more

Being from the US, I can honestly say I was enthusiastic about there being a Costco here, although I really do hate having to pay an annual membership for a place that I end up going to as often as I want and spending over $200 every time I go. I reckon the best time to go is during Christmas. I got my Christmas shopping pretty much done, as well as the wrapping paper and ribbon in one whole trip and spent way less than I expected. I do love their croissants and would honestly go every week just to get a dozen croissants for $9.99 if I knew I wouldn't end up spending more because they are in the back of the store. I always end up buying all of my cleaning products there because it's so much easier knowing that I won't end up running out for another 3 months and it definitely saves on the cheque book. The meat at Costco is amazing as well. If you're having a BBQ, go there and get a wonderful cut of meat and BBQ it! There's nothing better than a great beef BBQ. I tend to love going there because they have a lot of the products that I could get in America, like A&W Root Beer and good Maple Syrup (in an outrageously huge bottle of course). There's so many wonderful little snack ideas that I always end up picking up as I walk through there, which is why I try to stay away and only go once a month. I did end up picking up a pair of shoes for my toddler for $15 which is generally unheard of here it seems. If you're looking for good deals on clothing or shoes and can afford to walk through and buy other stuff you may not need but see and want, then head on into Costco to have a shopping spree. If you can hold back and only buy what you have gone in there for, then I congratulate you because I know when I go in, there's no way I'm only coming out with what's on my list. read more

Alert, Alert! Costco has some tasty goodies in the middle of the store for the celebration for the year of the horse - Chinese New Year! Tasty morsels for all! On another note, great wine prices and by the case! Anyone for a good Cabernet? read more

It's huge! Ordered aisles, great bargains and friendly service. We went not on opening day but quite early and we noticed that the amount of demonstration stands was amazing. Nearly every aisle was offering you free samples which created quite a few mini queues.... Never the less we did try a few and noticed that some of the samples although yet simple (think cup of noodles) were extremely effective. This is not something that you will experience when visiting the established Costcos like Docklands or Alexandria.... Another huge benefit is the multi level parking... No need to park misles away.... You can still park close to the lifts by choosing a lower level and the obvious close vicinity to Eastland is a huge bonus! read more

Costco is what it is. I'm not here to say whether it's right or wrong or whatever. I'm just here to tell people (and there's many of them) who love all things Hershey's and Reese's, don't bother going to the candy stores around town that sell small bars for around $2 - $4, Costco as supersized versions which end up being much cheaper. Maybe it's just me, but I seem to have a lot of friends who creamed their pants when I told them about this, so I thought I'd spread the word and maybe more people out there will cream their pants too. Enjoy. read more

There is so much here that it's a little like a magic eye puzzle. Everything rolls into one big blur and if you stare at it too long you'll probably feel ill. But just like all magic eyes, there's always something to be found. I've found ideas here, and while that does not come guaranteed - at the very least you'll find enough blueberry cobbler to feed a small nation. read more

i'm a fan mainly because i can get things from here that my american husband misses from home. i stocked up on cinnamon raisin bagels, tide, bounce dryer sheets, waffles, cherry coke & ranch dressing. ok the ranch dressing was a little ridiculous because it's actually more for me, and i bought 1.4 litres of it. yes, you read that right. i have over a litre of ranch dressing at my house. come on over, we are having salad every night for the next six months. i almost purchased the kirklands 1.75 litre vodka that is supposed to be grey goose. i think it was about $80. but it would just encourage me to drink at home. there is a LOT of giant sized items. it would be great if you were having a party. i've grown up with my mum who had the mentality, if there's one on sale, you might as well buy 10. so it suits me! i'm looking forward to the costco opening around the corner from my house. read more

People like to go on and on about the insanely cheap prices here, but that simply isn't true. Yes, the specials are worthwhile and you'll save quite a lot on those select items, but everything here is so huge that you'll end up spending an arm and a leg anyway. I know what you're thinking, "You're buying in bulk! If you work it out, you end up saving 15% per item!". Maybe, but most items can be found cheaper elsewhere, especially the food, and they come in much more manageable sizes. Really, the only advantages to buying at Costco are: the customer service which is fantastic, buying ridiculously large packages of everyday items (kind of a novelty), and the occasional great deal. The disadvantages from what I can tell are: the security here seems a bit over the top, it's like getting into the United Nations or something; because everything is so huge, you'll end up spending way too much; $60/year membership seems a bit much. Not too bad as long as you know exactly what you want and stick to a fixed budget. read more

As a "Visitor" from interstate well WA to be exact - aka Wait awhile I decided to check out Costco Docklands on my recent visit to see what all the hype was about. A sign at the entry stated something along the lines Visiting Days for Non Members with one of these days not being the Friday that I rocked up. I presumed that if I was "visiting" on another date that It would mean that my one off visit to Costco would not incur any membership fees if I was to purchase any items. I did not realise that unless in the receipt of a Membership card that I could not enter on this week day. After exiting the store and asking the not so friendly door greeter aka Prison Guard how the system works I was made to feel like a criminal for daring to enter the premises. Ok so well I was just looking - there was No Criminal Intent and really who could be bothered with the Chaos. Sure I guess if I lived in Melbourne and close to might think about the occasional shopping trip to COSTCO, but in reality I much prefer shopping at my local supermarket where there is a friendly atmosphere and for the fact I do not have to hire a U-Haul to cart the monstrous sized packages home again. West Australians don't stress because you really are not missing out on much - Unless you favour blatant consumerism then I'm sorry but you are living in the wrong State. read more

What's not to love about cheap booze and 7 foot bears. Absoloutly nothing. Add that to massive quantities and great prices Costco is well worth the membership.

I have been a member of Costco before the Melbourne Docklands store opened and absolutely enjoy going there. I fully understand the Parking issues has with their Dockland Store, however limiting Members to 2 hours is not acceptable to me. 3 hours would suit most. Members who enjoy strolling through, buying and enjoying a treat at the food court will, at times go over the 2 hours and get 'Slugged' for $75 by Care Parking, will complain, surrender their membership or buy less becsuse of less strolling time. Costco, please review the 2 hour limit or find some other way of allowing Members a little more time to enjoy your marvelous store and fantastic array if goods. read more

Hi Just writing to thank you. Had family get together last Saturday I will usually do all the cooking and make the salads which ends up consuming many hours before the day even starts. I have had the misfortune to break my leg so spending time in the kitchen was not an option. I had not been to Cosco for several years but thought grab a couple of chickens and salads and hope for the best. Well I ended up with chickens, made sandwiches, sushi, buffalo wings and salad. Best food I have had for a long time everyone commented on how fresh the food was. And whoever made the sushi best I have ever eaten. Thank you very much will do again even without the broken leg. Many thanks Rita McGhie read more

Today we went shopping at Costco & shopped over $100, went to cafeteria & had something to eat. We went to car park & was to drive out. Costco was just closed at this point. Last 2-3 cars leaving together with us. Our card didn't work. We press the intercom & the young man who answered in the machine asked us to pay $75 saying we use the Costco car park outside the operating hours. This is out rages. The man refuse to talk to us. We were talking & he hang up the phone. We rang again & he just asked us to pay & hang up. There were Costco customers leaving the car park at that point. A fellow Costco customer who had more humanity than Costco car park man have opened the gates for us. This is very shameful & poor service of you to do this. Specially for us we have a small 11 month old child & today weather been over 40C. There so many other grocers like Costco gives reward & provide great customer satisfaction where Costco ask customer to pay $75 for parking? This is so outrages. I am so disappointed with your service. This will be dreadful if happen to another person in a similar situation. Put sensible people in your car park staff who understand. Never in my life that I have came across with someone who doesn't want to listen. read more
