Costco members return travel goods purchased in Hawaii after vacation

Costco's cost-effective return policy allows network club members to return virtually any product at any time and without a check. Some buyers are trying to squeeze everything out of this by returning a Christmas tree in January or a half-eaten steak.

Costco stores in Hawaii often suffer from such customers, where tourists after holidays return used tourist equipment. Business Insider.

According to a member of the Costco club with 30-year-old James Goldenz, who retired four years ago and moved to Maui, the island’s stores often come back with travel equipment that was clearly used before. On Maui, the Costco store is located close to the airport, which makes it an ideal place for visitors to buy tourist goods immediately after arrival.

Used tubes and half-empty vodka bottles

Hawaii is an expensive vacation destination, and most basic goods are imported to the islands, increasing their costs. Living expenses in Hawaii are 88% higher than the U.S. average, according to MoneyRates.

Goldenz said that he had seen many members of the Costco club returning clearly used water sports equipment to the store, such as kayaks, snorkels and snorkeling masks, apparently buying them only for holidays and wanting to get money back after the trip was over.

The man said that he had seen tourists return almost everything, from used slippers and sandals to half-drunk vodka bottles. Club members can buy a canoe for 400 dollars at Costco and return it a week later by paying the rent for living on the island received for a refund.

“There should be a law against this kind of thing,” Goldenz said.

At the same time, according to him, the store employees do not question customers' motives, but accept returns, smiling politely to customers.

Too many returns may backfire.

There are seven Costco stores in Hawaii. The representative of the store in Maui admitted that the return of tourist equipment does occur in this outlet quite often.

In 2013, one of TripAdvisor users openly wrote that they could use Costco membership to save on vacation, returning all beach accessories and other goods for tourism after the end of the vacation. He clarified that the store does not require any receipt or original packaging, in addition, employees do not care about the state in which the product is located.

However, this is not a good plan. In August it became known that excessive returns may invalidate costco membership.
