Costco is a trusted business and I don't like to see the most generous and accommodating return service I've observed anywhere abused. If that abuse is encouraged by this success Costco may have to adjust their policy for everyone.

There used to be a great store up near where I live. Back in the Seventies and Eighties, it was the best place around to get nearly anything, electronics, furniture, you name it.

They had the best inventory, and the best return policy. If you brought it back, you didn’t need to have the receipt and could say nearly whatever you want when returning it.

I knew people personally who would get a television to watch the Super Bowl, with the full intention of sending it back after the game.

I knew people who purchased high end cameras to take on vacation with them, and would return them when the vacation was done.

I thought these actions were so repugnant, because the company was trying to do right by its customers. After a few decades, it went bankrupt.

If I know someone who does that kind of thing, and is proud of it too, I develop a snap judgement right then and there, and it isn’t a good one either.
