Threaten the income and they always crack. Knowing their politics is all I need to not go back.
I’m still not going there.
Can Regnery refuse to sell them the books? Or would that be like a gay/baker thing?
Folks, I LIKE Costco. They have good products, friendly service, and good prices.
I absolutely hate it that they’re left-leaning.
“It’s not available anywhere, and sales are abysmal, so we don’t carry it.”
Whenever possible frequent businesses that support freedom. It seems quite foolish to patronize businesses actively working towards the destruction of this nation.
Costco showed their true colors. For now, you have a choice. Remember that the next time you shop.
I remember a few years back they put the Bible in the fiction part of where they keep the books they changed that quick after people threatened them....I think this dude is trying to make his store communist friendly or just MUSLIM FRIENDLY..
Now I know this dude is a friend of Obama’s..
They can also choose to insult our intelligence.
Neither is a good business plan.
***We are bringing it back, not for political reasons, but because the book is now selling well, Galanti told WND. We didnt pull the book on July 1 for political reasons, and we are not putting it back in the stores now for political reasons. ***
They stepped in it big time, and all this is the stench from their shoe.
They definitely pulled the book for the company’s own political views showing another example of power control; the left-wingers controlling free market abilities. Haha, it backfired. Do you think they will ever do this again. Absolutely. It’s getting to where there’s a long list of stores that I do not spent money with after their business practices :) It’s good to see their customers complained so, that’s good.
I don’t shop on Costco for political reasons.
COSTCO would do well to leave politics to her customers whose various ‘tastes’ number in the thousands rather than try to dictate what they should read/believe.....careful COSTCO, products from China could be boycotted.....
Further proof that progressives really hold no values. If he really believes the book shouldn’t be sold, he should stand behind his original decision.
I’ve never been a member, but I was under the impression Costco sold large lots.
Do you have to buy a case of books, or can you just buy one?
Awesome news, but I also understand that the NYT is complicit because they refuse to put the book on their bestsellers list.
We have been utilizing Costco's services in Anchorage for 4 years as a supply point for our Lodge in Alaska.
Unfortunately, due to Costco's Sr. Management determining that I cannot decide what I should or should not read by removing all copies of Dinesh DSouzas bestselling book, America: Imagine the World Without Her, from the shelves of its stores nationwide, I must make a change in plans.
Fortunately, their is a Sam's Club in Anchorage, as well, and I will be transferring my membership and business to them.
The response I got:
Dear _______,
We appreciate you taking the time to email Costco Wholesale.
Costco is not influenced by political considerations in selecting product for sale in our warehouses or on Costco.com. This includes our selection of books. Our book buyers are solely interested in book sales, and do not favor any political persuasion over another. Recently, after deciding to sell the book "America: Imagine the World Without Her", beginning on June 1, a decision was made to pull the book from sale on July 1. This decision was based solely on the number of copies sold during that month, and had nothing to do with the content of the book.
Costco is not a book store. Our book shelf space is very limited. We exercise discipline in the best utilization of that limited space based solely on what our members are buying. We can't carry every title that our members are interested in reading. We are constantly monitoring book sales, and make decisions to pull books off the shelves frequently based on sales volume to make room for other titles. Politics or controversy over content do not influence our decisions. After we made the return, a documentary was released about the book. Since then there has been heightened interest by our membership base and brisk sales at locations still in stock. Therefore, we have made the decision to reorder the book.
Thank you,

You can’t buy better publicity. Thanks COSTCO.

Costco needs to feature America on their August Costco Connection Magazine Book Picks section. I would post a link, but oddly the site is down for some reason.
Costco web site is down... Thats ok, I’ll wait to give my opinion.
