Staff at Costco Tyres seems not working hard. Most of the time I go there for a service they don’t work and have a chat with their friends who visit there. I dropped my car for tyre replacement this morning and they said they are busy so it would take 2 hours. But I saw all of them talking with their friends outside the workshop. It has been 2 hours and I am still waiting at Costco eating pizza. They seem to lack work ethics and also not kind to customers.
Everything is giant, and most things end up being cheaper than at other stores (some are the same price of more expensive, so make sure you know what you're paying). There is underground parking and wheelchair access, however the lifts are suuuuper slow and always crowded, so you're better off taking the ramp. It will be 10 minutes faster than anything else. You need a coin for the trolleys, and a membership card to get in. They have cardboard boxes you can use to carry things but I suggest you bring your own bags. There is fresh(ish) hot food available as well.
this is what I sent to costco in an email
Hi I purchased prawns at crossroads. they were the 39.99/kg large green prawns.
It was an appalling experience.
I have been peeling prawns for 50yrs and I could not peel these.
they cost such a lot of money, they ended up mangled and shredded.They fell apart as we peeled.
they were inedible and we tossed $43.00 worth of prawns away.
such a disappointment.
skip costco for xmas seafood.
No easily visible signs out the front saying you need to be a member. No one stopping you coming in. Very crowded thanks to oversized trolleys, and then you are not allowed to buy unless you are a member. $60 a year maybe good value if you live nearby but if you can only be there once or twice a year it's basically a fine on being from out of town. At least the food outside is cheap, fast and plentiful
I wouldn’t say shopping here is cheaper or the experience is a lot better than Aldi, Coles or Woolies. In fact, for a small family it might cost you more to shop here if you take into account the drive, time spent, working through packed trolley bumping weekend crowd, select brands on shelves and bulk buy. Good for large families, get togethers or parties. Not so much of an appeal for small families and day to day shopping.
A great place to shop for a big family or parties, especially for foods. It has wide range of products with wholesale package. It worths a day trip, enjoying a quick, economical lunch there.
Great customer service. But you need a membership card if you want to buy from here. Its $60 to become a member (every year) and maybe not good for people who only buy small staffs. I bought a membership card from South Korea and they charged me only 30000 ($30 in auz) which is much cheaper. It will be great if they can make cheaper to become a member. But the food quality is still great and fresh~
I've just started shopping at Marsden Park. This place is like the Easter Show used to be; you see all sorts of stuff you don't see anywhere else. OK, not EVERYTHING is cheaper than elsewhere but I don't remember them claiming it was. The fresh food section is fantastic, in particular their pre-packed meat and seafood. If you need to cater for a function they're pretty much a one-stop-shop, with club sandwiches, sushi packs, freshly-made bake-yourself pizzas, the list is endless. This could lead a serious risk of dangerous over-eating, but that's OK, they sell coffins as well! At the very least you might need another fridge or freezer, and yes, they have those too
Great for impulse buying, I spend 2756 dollar on 1 week shopping. I am now in trouble with bank but good quality and lot of food options, very greasy very good. I give 5 star my favourite very good
Love it. Overall been impressed with their no nonsense approach. Staff are super helpful. Quality is great and the couple of times we're had a problem with a product they have offered a refund with no problem. If it was closer to us I would be there more often.
This place is incredible! The deserts are to die for. The savings on bulk buy are beyond belief. The chicken and salad wrap is a bargain along with the drinks available at the cafe. The chicken wings are beautiful as well. Alcohol is around the price of Dan Murphy's, some are a lot cheaper than Dan's. Great range of clothing which I saved lots on.
Awesome place to buy American products. Although I feel it falls short with the membership; you do not know what is in there until you are a member. Prices are not always the cheapest if you were to buy bulk from opposing supermarkets
Great value and selection of goods, particularly goods found I'm US shops. Good value on snacks and clothing etc. Qty of some consumables is good if u have large family. Overall good value and the annual membership fee is worth it if you come once or twice a month. Parking can be a bit difficult during peak times and weekends etc.
Great prices, huge variety. What's not to love although not everything is as cheap as it makes out to be so do your homework before heading there. All in all everytime we go I just want to buy everything. Pro tip the trolley is huge so just remember that then you won't have an heart attack at the check out. And also buying in bulk saves money yes, but do you want o be eating the same thing over and over again for weeks? You be the judge.
