Costco

The optometry department here is great! Good prices if you don’t have insurance. And they are able to do last minute appointments which was very helpful for me! The nurse was knowledgable and helpful and the department had all the contacts I needed in store — no waiting! I recommend the optometrist here.

I love this place
Water is cheap
Toilet paper is good deal
Banana is also super cheap
Staffs are nice
My fav is that they don’t move stuffs around so often
Highly recommended

costco is costco. i would say their products are average and up, so not a whole lot of cheap ultra budget items can be found here. Back in the days when there was no active online market for household products, costco was the leading wholesale lot that offered pretty hefty saving on bulk packs. With emergence of hypermarket like walmart and target dominating discount retail, costco lost some of its competitive edge in terms of price. however costco is always consistent in terms of quality and has one of thr best return policies in the industry. their food court is just awesome. one thing i disliked about this location was how pushy the membership signup clerks were. i told them i only need the gold memebership based on frequency of shopping i anticipate and they were pretty insistent that i needed an exec memebrship for double the cost annually. though there is no harm in being informative, this kind of upselling attempt is really not necessary and damaging to your company’s image in a long run.

So-so…seems like most of the employees just work here to socialize. Butn it doesn’t matter… I think Costco items sell itself. I just think they need outside parking attendants or ushers. The parking here is mad. Even the handicapped parking people fight for. I guess that what happens when you get a mix of old retired peeps with young families — both feel entitled to everything. Young moms have soccer practice to rush to and seniors have shows they need to get back to watch. Just dont run into this trailer park trash in the photo I added. He goes around the parking lot flipping off people. Costco — you need to do something about this creep. He flips off kids — whoever is in the car. What a scum. Watch out he will flip yoi off next! Ive seen him so it a few times, along with being foul.

Its costco. and costco is costo. Always huge, always busy, painful parking, etc. But you will be hard pressed to find a better store for stocking up in bulk on your favorite items. They aren’t about a vast diversity of brands but what they have food wise is always fairly high quality. I have never really bought or even shopped for clothes or electronics here. The movie and book selection is pretty rad, and the prices can’t be beat.

Jeff’s a great customer care professional. He was not pushy at all and patiently helped us upgrade 4 lines. He was very thorough in providing details and comparison of all available options. He took his time to make sure everything is done correctly and at the end he organized the package and paperworks.
Thanks Jeff and Costco for the great service :)

I’ve been coming here for as long as I can remember. Parking isn’t the best and neither is the line for gas, but it’s all worth it.
I came here with my Mom the week before Easter. We came here to pick up supplies for a party. We were greeted kindly at the front of the store as always. I love that this place is so big, you can find pretty much anything here for a pretty good price. Once we walk around to the food I gotta have my samples, each and every one. It was kinda crowded the day we came so the samples rolled out kinda slow, you have to have a watchful eye for when they come out. I love that they have samples. We’ve bought a few things before after trying the samples. Near the end of our shopping trip I was browsing the book section and found a pretty sick coloring book that I got from here. The book section always has a nice variety that I like to browse. The checkout lines here always look pretty long, but they move fast for their length. As for the cafeteria here, I absolutely love the pizza they have it’s probably one of my favorite places for pizza, but that’s about it.
Costco is one of my favorite stores to go to. You never know what you’ll find here, or eat.

Before you review Costco, think that you shouldn’t judge it as the local supermarket, or the local flower shop, or even your personal travel agent (Costco offer both BTW lol). This is a place that sell for almost half the price, and many times in better quality. So you can complain about the customer’s service, or that they charge a yearly fee to become a member. But to find ridiculous prices as I find here for many years no, doesn’t worth a bad review just because some sales representative did not look at me straight. They are not perfect, but they are perfect in many things.

I love this Costco. Parking is actually relatively good as far as other Costco parking lots I’ve been to, the lines for pizza/​smoothies/​hot dogs are kinda crazy sometimes ever since they implemented the new zig zag system, other than that I have no complaints or reason to knock off any stars… I love Costco in general, they’re awesome

I come in the morning to the Tire center. I bring my wheels dismounted already to have them just pull my tire pressure sensors. It’s a quick job that they still quote me 2 – 3 hour wait. On top of all of this they tell me that it would be 15 dollars a tire ($ 60 in total). I ask why, for that’s the going rate to mount and balance and I’m not doing either. I just asked to pull the sensor and leave the tires still mounted. The employee said it doesn’t matter, we’re having to partially dismount and that’s 15 a tire. I left and went to *** TUCKER TIRE*** and what do you know … They take me in right away and I’m out in 10 minutes with my wheels air up with rubber valve stems at no charge. Wow ! And the best part is they only charged me 15 dollars in total. Costco is over charging members with out them knowing if they’re getting similar things done … The difference is just about a years membership ! Go to tucker tire and avoid Costcos tire center! Save your money people, they’re only around the corner. I canceled my membership now and now just shop at Walmart Costco doesn’t deserve my money anymore.

We have always gone to Costco for our tires because the service is good and the pricing is great.
This time I wanted to get help to buy bigger tires for my Jeep Wrangler and needed some advice since I don’t know what I am doing. I asked the guy in the front who said he would get Erik for me since he knows Jeeps well. I honestly learned more about my Jeep in the 30 — 45 minutes he spent with me than I had in the five years of owning it.
Erik told me he would order the tires so we could see them and to come back on Thursday night. Did you even know they can order other tires than what they have in stock??? We didn’t, but it’s awesome!
We went back on Thursday and Erik put the tires on and they’re great! He was so knowledgable and gave us so much info on the tires that we knew we were making the right choice. He even warned me about the possible issues with the larger tires with gas mileage and changing the speed of the car due to the size.
Anyway, Costco is always awesome but Erik just made it even better!

Best place for a super quick and cheap fix… Beside all the shooing of course! 8)
Best hot dogs (includes a free drink), Churros, and Pizza!!!

Don’t call in and ask if they have something in stock cause the people on the phone are really rude. I mean it is the holiday so be patient with people trying to purchase items from YOUR store and don’t turn them away… Manager should be able to pull call. If interested respond and we can connect offline. Lost customer…

Seems like there has been a changing of staff here. They are more interested in visiting then getting you out. I have been shopping here since it opened but limit my visits due to time now, NOT «buyer friendly”— but if you have a couple of hours you’re good.
WHAT is with all the sample people… seems like every food isle has a couple. I’m all for promoting products but seems like all this is doing is promoting lots of people grazing through the store for a meal.
Guess best time is waiting at opening or 10 minutes before closing.
** word to the wise check pricing, somethings are really good and others are way not.

Well I have been coming to this Costco since 2001 at least, maybe even before that. It was my go to place when I used to live in Laguna Niguel before they built a Costco there. It was also so handy to stop at Crown Valley and the 5 and still is. It is one of the best locations that I have found for Costco.
They are not undersized like some of the other older locations either. This really helps them provide all the crap that you could ever not know you needed until you arrive. This was the first location that turned a trip to Costco into a $ 100 store for me. For a long time I spent a hundy every time I went. It was crazy.
Now, I stop in every now and then when I am headed to my parents in South OC. The staff is still friendly and helpful. I like the giant sized parking lot. There honestly isn’t much not to like about this place.
Then again its just another Costco, so you get what you get when you go ;)
Ohhh and if you don’t know what they have a Costco, its almost 2016 you really need to get out a little bit more… *SMH*

Yeah okay, we all know Costco as a place of pure bliss. Things in bulk that you never need in bulk, like car febreeze clip… things…
But I can’t rate Costco based off of the amazing concept of wonderful bulk items for cheap, I must rate it on the specifics that this location has to offer.
What do I like about this location? It gets its own parking lot that you can almost always find parking for — be it that parking might not always be close, it’s still parking. I like that this location is right off the freeway and is in good proximity to loads of residences.
What I don’t like? I hate that there is such a limited selection of grocery goods. I don’t like that the selection of meats and fish are very limited and not always the best selections. You can’t find the best and most fresh options. You’ll need to go to another Costco or another grocer.

I usually have a good time shopping here and havent had a problem with my groceries at all. the food court though is a mad house! Ive called ahead numerous times while im shopping or just at home to just get a large pizza and they never ever have my order! You think they would get some system in place or better yet I learn my lesson but its the only costco near me :(i call and spoke with the food court manager letting him know that i have called 25 min ago (show him my call log on my phone) and have told him i ordered a pizza. He assures me there was never an order for my name, nor does any employee have any recollection of my «unique name» thats how i know they are lying cuz whenever i give them my name they make a comment how pretty it is. Im just fed up about them not being organized at all. I guess its back to pizza hut pizza :/

Good Costco. But crazy manager. She has long curly dark hair. I missed her name. I had to replace some jewelry that broke. I bought the exact same pair of earrings to replace the ones that broke.
I went the store 3 times. First time to show them the problem and find out who had a replacement pair. Then drive to irvine to buy the replacement. Irvine store informs me that I need the certificate of authenticity to return the pair. Understandable but the first store should have told me that.
So back home I go to get it. I got back to store number one with my diamond earrings and box and certificate. And wearing my new earrings as well. Clerk says. We also have a free repair service. But it takes 6 weeks and lots of times they can’t repair it.
So that sounds really promising right ?? Considering I already have exact same pair in my ears and the first two clerks and managers have already told me it’s not problem to replace the pair.
Then crazy manager shows up and she hmmmmm and haaaaaaas for the next 15 mins. About who did I talk to this morning. And they didn’t have the authority to tell me I could return these. I said I don’t know his name but multiple managers and clerks. And they already checked the diamonds for authenticity too.
I finally get a refund. But it was crazy experience and she is scary !!! If you see her. Ask for another manager right away. There is something clearly wrong.

Same as all the other Costcos, great customer service and good deals. We decided to restock a few things on a Sunday afternoon, which is apparently the same thing everyone else in the area was thinking too, the place was PACKED. We came across an item we had recently purchased when it was not on sale, went to customer service and they credited us for the sale price, Costco is great. :)
Would recommend avoiding Costco Sunday rush if possible!

It’s Costco — there’s nothing radically unique to say about the business but this location is the quietest, lowest traffic location I’ve been to (every time). You’ll appreciate the lack of lengthy lines and the vibe is friendly. Be sure to smile and say hello to those working the sample tables; actually, just smile more in general.

Typical Costco. All is well organized and clean. I had come in for an eye exam but ended up shopping since my eyes were dilated.
Won’t make a special trip to this location as I have another Costco down the street from home. But when I come in for the eye doctor, I’ll shop here then.

Unlike its larger and more crowded Irvine counterpart, this Costco location does not make me want to hurt people. Even on a Saturday afternoon, it is easy to find parking and the wait at the gas pumps is fairly brief.
Pretty much everything I typically purchase from Costco can be found here. I can keep up my stockpile of toilet paper and paper towels, get a rotisserie chicken and find some new wines to try. And, of course, an enormous slice of the I-​have-​no-​idea-​why-​I-​like-​it-​so-​much pizza.
There is definitely a science behind the design of Costco warehouses. It is not possible to walk in and just buy one thing. Well, I guess conceptually it is possible, but I have never been able to achieve this feat. I manage to find things I had no idea I needed. Admit it, you do too!
If you see me there, say Hi! I will be the one with the overflowing cart, eating a slice of pizza. Happy shopping!

My review is primarily for the Optical Department. I saw a Dr. Levy; who was Awesome! I hadn’t had my eyes examined in years. He was patient and talked me through each step. He was very thorough and even double checked while documenting my results.
I have in the past «peeved» Doctors that attempted to give my eyes glaucoma & pressure tests. I just couldn’t relax. But 100% quick total success with Dr Levy.
The receptionist is a Sweetheart too!
The prices are great. I got 2 pair of glasses for half of what my friends paid at other places.
I have never worn or needed glasses. Now I’m excited. 7 – 10 days, I will seen future.
Highly recommended.

This is a really busy location, about a half mile from the 5 freeway exit, but their selection of product is usually in-​stock and the food court is located inside the store and away from both cars and carts alike.
Stopped by to pick up a large box of oat meal and some granola bars. In doing so I also convinced myself to pick up a case of Sprite and a Costco rotisserie chicken, which is a really great deal at only $ 4.99 a bird… I was surprised by the amount of shoppers in the store on a Monday at noon, and even more surprised with how aggravated and impatient these folks were. In circling the store from the electronic section and on to the vitamins I overheard a number of gripes and insults, with «move your ass, lady» and «learn how to walk, grandpa» being some of my favorites.
Made my way to the checkout area and was met with a wall of carts lined up to the first four rows of the candy and nuts section. A new line then opened up towards the exit… An unenthused employee arrived and screamed «who’s next?» at a number of us standing in line, with a stare that was reminiscent of prior insults heard from shoppers around the store.
She wasn’t very nice at all, but I get it… When you deal with the rudeness of others on a daily basis it’s hard not to be rude yourself as a defense. I just smiled and said «hello, how are you?» while handing her my Costco AmEx card. She began to ring me up.
What was odd during the entire exchange was that she failed to even acknowledge that I was standing there, no reply to my greeting or even eye contact, only swiping my card without even telling me the total and then handing me a receipt… She was seriously pissed about something.
I then made my way into the food court to grab a quick lunch… Best pizza and drink combo in town, with a giant slice of pepperoni and unlimited Pepsi, and all for under $ 3. Awesome!
Sorry to say it, but this persistent ‘bad attitude’ within the store seems to be contagious among the employees… With only three people waiting in a line at the food court the cashier in the kitchen screams «make a line!» and then «who’s next?» She proceeds to ring up two of the three people at once, with both orders being called out and made incorrectly.
Needless to say my pizza was pretty much thrown at me after I payed, but it was strait out of the oven fresh and very tasty… I’m sure I’ll be back again, but will also make it a point to try and avoid this Costco location.
