Effective today Costco is starting to roll out a new return policy!
Costco of course is famous for allowing lifetime returns on nearly everything they sell.
The items subject to the new 90-day return policy are:
-TV’s
-Computers
-Cell Phones
-Cameras
-Camcorders
-Ipods/MP3 Players
Here is the nationwide rollout schedule:
Costco.com/California: Effective immediately.
Remaining West Coast: 3/12
Midwest/Texas: 3/19
Northeast: 3/26
Southeast/Puerto Rico: 4/2
Items bought before these dates will still have lifetime return privileges.
Items bought on or after these dates will be subject to a 90-day return policy.
In addition:
-Costco will extend the manufacturers warranty for computers and tv’s until 2 years from the purchase date.
-Costco will provide free technical support for these items(excluding cell phones) by calling: 866-861-0450
The jury is still out on whether Sam’s Club(which only recently matched costco’s lifetime policy) will match this new return policy, or keep their’s for a competitive advantage.

I noticed you took down your personal e-mail…or maybe i just can’t find it anymore. Was that a hint that you didn’t want anyone writing you? Cuz i have a question that probably only you can help me with.
SAMS CLUB STILL AND HERE IN NY we can still get it till nextmonth
what are you talking about noah? its right there on the right side. (at least, it is now)
I called Costco concierge services at 866-861-0450. They told me that there is no nationwide rollout schedule for the new 90-day return policy, but that it is effective natiowide as of February 26th.
You mentioned the nationwide rollout schedule:
Costco.com/California: Effective immediately.
Remaining West Coast: 3/12
Midwest/Texas: 3/19
Northeast: 3/26
Southeast/Puerto Rico: 4/2
Anyone know what’s the real story?
Thank you.
The real story is exactly what i posted.
Dont believe me? Call your local, (outside of CA) costco…
I bought a 42″ Pioneer Plasma back in February 2006 ($2200.00). It’s not working now (October 2015).
May I receive a full refund (the whole $2200.00) in cash or in credit to be use in the store or Costco will give the option to get an item similar to the original, that is to say a 42″ -43″ TV, which right now are in the $700 – $1100 averege price. Please Advice.
