Notices posted at Costco this week indicate the store is no longer accepting returns on key items that many are stocking up on the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The signs, posted by several Costco Instagram accounts (not affiliated with the store itself), indicate that returns are not being accepted on toilet paper, paper towels, rice, water, sanitizing wipes, and Lysol.
It's not clear if the new policy is store-by-store or part of a national corporate push. Costco announced limits earlier this week on certain items that have seen a spike in purchases as customers stock up. This could be part of that policy, but we've reached out to Costco for more information. For the time being, it's best to refer to your local Costco for more information on its policies.

Makes sense
Good
Good, let the panic hoarders eat their toilet paper.
Similar signs at WenCo. Make the stupid people sit on their idiot piles for the next 37 years.
the return lines after this chinese virus passes will be epic.
make these hoarders eat it.
Lawsuits coming in 3 ..., 2..., 1...
saw this a Publics today and good.
Told one guy at the empty meat counter, wait till we have a hurricane going forward, loose power and all this horded meat,chick ect goes bad.
He said ,”they deserve it”.
I agreed
Good
You bought 10 36 count bundles of toilet paper, you weren’t buying for personal use, you buying for resale and you are now a wholesaler/reseller and they can refuse your return.
Costco already replenished its shelves
And stop watching CNN China News Network or AKA Fake News
There would be no shortage if stores could charge 5$ a roll. Hoarding would stop forthwith.
And for whoever bought all the bulk brown rice, I’ll buy 10 pounds or so for 10% of the cost. A-hole!
Not just CostCo.
Smart policy.
They ought to revoke their memberships...................
Let ‘em stand in the parking lot and hawk it.
I hope nobody takes any of this stuff back. Supply chains are now horribly disrupted. Once the makers of dust masks and sanitizers and wipes, etc have enough to fill the need, a time will come when they find they have much more than they need for the foreseeable future. No way they should allow returns on top of that.
Pst..hey bud..
So up until now that rice you bought at Costco may have already made a trip home and back with someone else?
Toilet paper lasts. No need to eat it.
This is good. Enjoy your mac & cheese for the next 900 years.
What do something that stupid which hurts everyone when all they need to do is put purchase limits on these products which are being hoarded by the panicked.
