Costco

Came with a friend and some contacts of his. Definitely crowded but no complaints here since I’m used to going to the warehouse clubs and those are the order of the day. Not sure I’d make a special trip here but it’s in Jersey and if you have a car it might be better than one in NYC.

I love Costco and come here often for things like greek yogurt, salad, salsa, and detergent. This store is always busy but if you go at night on a weekday it’s not too bad. I really like their fresh flowers too. They last longer for about half the price. Returns are simple and easy even without a receipt. No questions asked either.
I wish they opened more lines and had more parking. Overall, great store!

The logistics to get into the parking lot and the gas station of this specific Costco location are perplexing. I suppose we can blame it on poor design of the exterior and interior of the store.
Parking is a nightmare, forget trying to access the gas station the lines are ridiculous. I wanted to turn around and leave. I have to say that i have visited costco stores in Long Island, NYC, Florida, Georgia and NJ and i would have to rate the design of ths store as very poor. When i got in to the store passed the entrance where the jewelry is located, i felt loss. The staff that handles the tasting carts around the store was not engaging and did a very poor job at making sure the sample trays were refilled. Almost every sampling station had a line and people were waiting on samples to be available. If i lived in the area and this was my local costco, i would have ceased and revoked my membership years ago. I am proud to say that i am a costco member for at least 15 yrs. Thankfully, i have seen and traveled around the east coast to find exceptional costco stores with top notch service, ample parking and better situated parking than this store. I actually feel sorry for those that have to come to this store. Anyways, i did my shopping and $ 251 later I said, i am not ever coming back here. I did notice items that were not available at my local costco in Queens /​Long island area so that was a plus.
–1 star for parking lot and location entrance from mall to store.
— 2 stars for lack of engaging staff, plenty of empty sample stations with staff that was not friendly or engaging about the product they were selling.
–1 Gas station line was out of thofparking lot and around the corner. People were even making turns into a Do Not Enter Sign road to cheat getting into the line and none of the staff did anything to fix it.
Simpl put this is the worst representation of a costco store I have ever seen. Not to worry, i wont cancel my membership but i will not come back here ever again!

The only negative thing that could be said about this costco is that the parking lot can be hell on Earth. Other than that little blemish this is my favorite costco, far superior to the one in Teterboro, where people are oblivious on how to move with a shopping cart.

The prices have gotten better. Strawberry prices are not Costcos fault for going up. This store is just like other Costco’s prices. Service is getting better at this location. They have more cashiers now

The fact that this location has the gas station, liquor store, tires installation, and the store itself makes it awesome! You can get everything done in one location. The parking lot can be a nightmare, but that’s not Costco’s fault. They did their best to provide enough parking spaces for the customers. Before Hackensack moved their location and did not have a gas station, I would come here to fill up. For non-​members, you can still take advantage of the food court, liquor store, and gas station without being a member.

My only negative is that the parking lot can be a nightmare. It’s usually busy but if you can get in early your usually out quick.
Place has everything you need as well as a decent liquor store that you don’t need a membership for. The staff is friendly and the place is kept clean. I always go wanting buy only a couple of things and walk out with more. Costco Coupons are loaded into your card so no need to cut them out. They have a food court but the line is usually long and hard to navigate because it close to registers. Gas prices are usually cheaper here than most places so it’s good place to fill up.
I recommend brining an iPod listening to music and it will help make your trip feel a lot faster.

This review is for the tire center. I came in on a Monday early afternoon. I waited in line for 20 minutes without moving. There were 6 people in line and multiple callers. They only had person, who can’t possibly handle the volume working. Also, each person I saw helped in person and by phone couldn’t be helped because of the backup or system. I finally left, not willing to waste more time

The store itself is not terribly bad, just very crowded especially weekends. The OPTICAL department: atrocious. The optometrist and staff is excellent, but so sad you have to deal with rude, disinterested optical staff members. I do believe they all need glasses because you can stand there, staring at them and they ignore you completely. I refuse to do more business with them for contacts or glasses. I will go elsewhere.

As a member of the biggest wholesale warehouse in America you think I would have a cape. No I get treated like every other member excellent. The location isn’t in the best place cause of it being behind the shopping complex on 3 east. But the store is your one stop shop.
For you drunks they sell wine if you drink to much wine you can buy a mattress and box spring to sleep on. You can buy fresh fruit for the blender you are buying for those mix drinks. They carry rotisserie chicken and pastries for your munchies and toilet paper in case you have an emergency You can buy undergarments, pants and shirts after you soiled yourself from all that wine. After your day on the town inside your local Costco you may need some mess to help you recover they have a pharmacy. You are sobering up so you find your keys you go to your car only to find the battery is dead. So you turn around and buy a jump starter also for back up jumper cables. You return to your car only to find thE battery is completely shot and you have two busted tires. You yell out a few curse words only for someone tell you go back in and get what you need.
You smile yes they sell batteries so you buy car, lawn mower, marina, AA, AAA, C, D and 9 volts. Once you put your battery in you start your car only to see your gas light on. So drive on your flats to get gas once you gas up you go get your two new tires you just brought from Costco put on. Then you run back in to get a new jack for your car you yell out OH HOW I LOVE ME SOME COSTCO.
Good thing you brought the Kirkland 13 gallon trash bags 250 box you open it you bag up those soiled clothes and throw them in the trash.
Now this isn’t your normal review but I don’t need to tell you want Costco is.

I LOVE COSTCO. and I used to love going to this Costco in Clifton. Now I would definitely only go to their Wayne location. Everybody is a lot nicer, more relaxed in Wayne. In Clifton, not only they’re rude in person, they’re also rude on the phone. At the return line, when I asked for a receipt, a rep with long nail said «You’re getting cash so there is no receipt.» But I’ve alwasy gotten a receipt regardless. I should’ve asked for a manager but I didn’t think about it at that moment. Dang it!
Couple weeks after that, I called to ask for lost-​and-​found. I wasn’t expecting to find the item anyways so not finding it wasn’t the big issue. The issue was their customer service (again). After I described the item, I was put on hold for 15 minutes while she’s «looking for it.» Okay, no problem, but when she came back and said she didn’t see it, I tried to describe the item a little better, and got a loud «There’s NOTHING in the lost-​and-​found box,» she said. Seriously??? Did it really took you 15 minutes to look for something in an EMPTY box?

Costco has a great business and product but this location is one of my least favorites. My largest complaint is with regards to the pharmacy, which on multiple occasions communicated the incorrect day requiring an additional trip. The latest occasion they called two days in a row saying that they hadn’t received the prescription, this after promising that it would arrive the next day.
The store itself is clean and has all the typical Costco items. Most of the staff are quite busy and are friendly for the most part. As many other people have stated this is one of the busiest Costco locations I have ever visited and parking is horrendous. Flooded with people who don’t know how to walk or drive a shopping cart, it seems like you are constantly dodging people almost running into you or having to move around the ones who walk at a snails pace and stand in the middle of a wide isle. If you love driving in New Jersey then this is the place for you!

Its Costco so its always busy but worth the hustle. If you never had the Kirkland Chicken in a can which is a lot like Tuna fish in a can it is a must but. Their chicken tenderloins frozen in a bag is also awesome. Great prices and you also have a food court for a quick bite to eat. Pizza, sausage and peppers and even the BBq pulled pork is good. In addition best pricing on Gas on your wait out. Can’t be beat.

Far and away the busiest Costco I’ve ever seen.
Parking is a slugfest.
There are never enough open registers for checkout.
The place is absolutely jam packed.
The liquor store is a blessing and a curse. If you’re going just for that, it’s pretty convenient. If you’re going to do a store run and a liquor run you have to check out at two separate locations. Not so convenient.
They do have a gas station that is cheaper than other stations. However there is often a long wait. I think I’d rather pay an extra $ 1 – 2 when I fill up rather than waste hours of my life on this line.
Even the roads in and out can be super congested.
If it weren’t for the insane crowds, this place has just as much if not more to offer than most other Costcos in the area. It’s just too congested for me.

Costco is your one stop shop for everything! When I’m running low on freezer items I come here to buy my merchandise in bulk. I love the drumsticks, wingettes and thighs from here. I scored big by buying drumsticks for .89c a lb, it came out to $ 7.70. Also it’s .99c per lb for the wingettes. Another steal at $ 18.80. There’s 16 wings per package.

This is our local Costco so we are here quite often. Its a great place to stock up on household and pantry essentials for the family. The gas station has the best gas prices so of course there is always a long line to fill up. I just wish it had later hours.

Decent Costco in a busy area. Place is good for buying large quantities, so for us (2 people) it’s not ideal for buying food. Would give 4 stars, but the very poor liquor store brings down the rating. Wine selection is one of the worst that I have seen in any of the liquor stores next to Costcos.
Good for me are none perishables like; Toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, coffee etc. Even though this time we got 4lbs for $ 5.99 and blackberries 2lbs for $ 3.99 both great deals. For me I don’t really think there are that many great deals here!
I prefer the Costco in Long Island City to this one!

This is for the tires and installations.
Okay, so this place is completely professional. Shanavya (?) took my order, explained everything in accessible language. Jeff did the same. I tried to give them a $ 20 tip, but they wouldn’t take it. James — that’s the dude I tried to tip.
I really wished I remembered all the names of the people that helped me. Chris comes to my mind as well — he couldn’t get them plastic bags open for my tires, til the others helped him out. Matt also helped me out.
I got Michelin Tires on the cheap, with a warranty of 90,000 with free tire rotation for the rest of the tires life.
Shanavya — probably the first woman car tech that I came in contact with (ever). Awesome. More awesome is how you just couldn’t f*&ked with her knowledge on tires. I looked at my friend and said, I think I am going to be a tire tech seems like a good skill to have. This is the kind of place that makes you wish you worked here. The comradeship among the coworkers seemed like it flowed well and that they supported and helped each other to get YOU/​ME out of there as fast they could.
If you need tires changed, go here.
They told me it would take 2.5 hours, they were finished in an hour and a half. My car rides smooth and I look forward to recommending people to come here and I look forward to coming back here.
I learned that wheel alignment is not mileage sensitive, but time sensitive.
As a woman, it’s easy to feel condescended to and patronize at a car related event, that didn’t happen here. This was a wonderful ride. Did I mention that I look forward to returning? (Of course, only if I have to – I mean, I don’t really want wheel problems).

I was visiting New Jersey and immediately searched out a local Costco to pick up some carrot juice and was stoked to find a location close to where I was staying.
The person who was driving me had never been to a Costco before so I promised to take them on a tour of Costco if they drove. We arrived in the parking lot and I have to say the planners of Costco have it laid out properly because these days you simply cannot tell the difference based on the layout inside or out.
This Costco had a gas station, tire center & food court. We walked into the Costco itself and of course were asked to show a valid membership card. My friend was amazed at how big this location was, where I found it a tad smaller than my local South Bay, CA (Rosecrans Ave) Costco location.
The layout inside however was spot on to every Costco I have been. I knew exactly where to go to find the products I was looking for. My friend even asked if I had been to this location before because I knew where everything was.
After going on a tour of the Costco, selecting my products it was time to check out. Same olé same olé’ show your card, different type of folks in line from California and having to show the receipt upon exiting.
If and when I am in the area again I would definitely stop here again.

From electronics to food to gasoline to house décor to books and clothing… lots of things I want to buy. There is catering service and cake order. They also have an auto service shop and sell car tires.
I come here at least once a month. We use their catering for parties and gathering hosted at my house. Their cakes are decent too. I stocked water and toiletries. These items are always needed in large volumes. My kids love their food samples and like all other men, my hubby checks out their electronics area. He finds good deals most times.
We love Costco customer service policy. If u don’t like even after you have open and tasted it, simply return for full refund! Every vendor should have this policy.
I recommend coming here on weekdays. Weekends are hectic busy and cashier lines are so long. Parking lot can be crazy too so do yourself a favor and try to avoid weekends!
