Costco Is Now Refusing Returns on High-Demand Items Like Rice And Toilet Paper
Yahoo finance ^ | March 20, 2020 | Kristin Salaky

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
