Costco Wholesale

Wedding Flowers BEWARE! I ordered hydrangeas and mixed greens from Costco to arrive 2 days before my wedding to allow time to make 20 centerpieces and 4 bridesmaid bouquets (thankfully I used a florist for my bouquet and the boutonnieres). I had read many blogs and reviews that were favourable. The flowers were ordered months in advance and scheduled to arrive Thursday morning for my Saturday wedding. Someone called me from Costco the Wednesday before the wedding saying that due to a hurricane, my hydrangeas would be delayed by 1 day but they GUARANTEED me that the flowers would arrive by end of day Friday. I tracked the order and saw they were in transit on Friday and all day it said they would arrive. Friday at 5pm, the arrival date suddenly changed to Monday. No one called me. If I hadn't been checking the tracking number every hour I wouldn't have known. I called the shipping company who informed me the flowers were stuck in a locked truck for the weekend and they would not make shipments, or even open the truck from Friday at 5pm until Monday morning. I called Costco, and though they refunded me, I still had no flowers for my NEXT DAY wedding. The day of my wedding I had my family driving to every grocery store in a 50 km radius to pick up any white flowers they could find and then instead of relaxing with them all morning, we arranged flowers right up until 10 min before the ceremony. It worked out, but for all the stress, it would've been easier just to hire a florist.

Great store lots of parking. Always friendly staff. Love the ice cream. Only complaint is you really have to watch the expiry dates especially the meat. Bought organic chicken and it's best before was 2 days later. And ground beef was bought on a Friday night and best before was the next day Saturday. I'm freezing it but would have liked a little fresher or have it discounted.

5/5 for overall store. But 1 star for your tire centre... i would recommend better more informative service from the manager. You should also look into your tire policy.. Anthony was very nice and helpful give that guy a raise. Ended up getting everything I wanted done from Midas down the road (oil change and tires). Though i am a member I will not use or recommend anyone using the tire center.

Better layout in many aspects, more room in the parking lot, easier to enter and leave, aisles are wider. Products are the same just a better experience due to not being so cramped. Gas bar was less busy. So glad we have the option to visit another one so near to Barrie.
