Who's gonna believe this? Costco online service
At 5:34pm Thursday Feb 7, I ordered 3 wastebaskets from Costco online. I got home this evening about 6 pm. They were sitting on my front doorstep! Rural living gets no better than this. Dee Dee |

I want a new trash can - one of those silver metal thingies that you step on a petal to lift the lid. The "stepper" gave out on the one I bought at CostCo after who knows how many years ago - so hubby thinks it's cheaply made. He's looking at $90 replacements now because he thinks they will be better made. I have no idea what CostCo is charging for a new one these days, but it can't be that much. Hubby doesn't understand how many years that trash can lasted and the *only* thing that's wrong with it is the petal doesn't work anymore. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

We ordered a large treadmill from them a few years ago. When the box arrived, by common carrier, it was damaged and we refused delivery. WE called and they shipped out another one...actually, it was drop shipped from the manufacturer. The carrier gave us a hard time about delivery and we called Costo, who arranged to have it delivered at our convenience AND gave us a $100 refund for the trouble. Another time we bought an HP printer online and it came with a rebate (listed in the online Costco order form) from HP that had to be filed with HP. We filed. HP denied the rebate by mail. We called Costco and told them and they sent us $50. A month later a $50 check arrived from HP. We called Costco to arrange a refund to them and they told us to keep it the HP money and enjoy. And I am a stockholder and they have done quite well for me. Boron |

We had a contractor through Costco who was not giving us any satisfaction. We did everything possible to comply. At our wits' end, we told Costco what we were going thru -- they stepped up to the plate and handled it to our satisfaction. We didn't even say we were complaining, we just asked them who to contact and when. There was no messing about once they got wind of it. The contractor said a check would be in the mail to us the next day. We waited 3 weeks, no check, and then called Costco; believe me, the check WAS in the mail the next day. PS, 14 years ago, we bought Nordic Track skier (you know, the ones that cost $400 and you can't give away now, along with all the other toys) and the UPS guy must've thrown it on the porch, it was mangled up, and had been sitting in the rain (wood!); it was just too much hastle to do anything about it but complain. If that were Costco, it would've been a different story. You have MY permission to sign as Costco Stock Holder, Boron ;-))))) Dee Dee |

He seems to recall in the $30 +/- range. Thanks, I meant to look last night but got side tracked. I think this one is 13 gallons, it takes the tall kitchen bag. I'm not seeing it online, but maybe they have it in the store. Woo Hoo - shipping and handling is included! I think I'll make it a habit to look at costco online from now on. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smiley face first |

But free shipping is not always so :-((( I have to pay $7.39 +/- shpping on this one -- http://tinyurl.com/yqyqwl DH saw it in a store (not our local one), but didn't get it. Next time after we decided we wanted it, he haunted the same stores on his trip to CT, but to no avail. We decided it was worth it to us for the extra $7.39. Dee Dee |

On Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:58:34 -0800, sf fired up random neurons and
synapses to opine: >I want a new trash can - one of those silver metal thingies that you >step on a petal to lift the lid. The "stepper" gave out on the one I >bought at CostCo after who knows how many years ago - so hubby thinks >it's cheaply made. He's looking at $90 replacements now because he >thinks they will be better made. I have no idea what CostCo is >charging for a new one these days, but it can't be that much. Hubby >doesn't understand how many years that trash can lasted and the *only* >thing that's wrong with it is the petal doesn't work anymore. Looks like they have two. They're similar, but the stainless steel one is $81.81 and the white one is $43.97, but they're both 3.5 gal. Don't know what the difference is other than looks, although the stainless steel one has what looks to be a handle on the back of the lid. Go to costco.com and look under the "office" category and then under the sub-category of "Hardware & Janitorial." Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd -- "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner." -- Duncan Hines To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox" |

I don't know what is a "standard" tall bag and I will have to look in the supermarket. My standard bag was the paper grocery bag but, despite all the noise that Whole Foods is making, most supermarkets provide unsuitable plastic bags. I am unlikely to remember to bring my own bag because I usually shop in Whole Foods on impulse. James Silverton Potomac, Maryland E-mail, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I already have 3 bags that are loaded with stuff to take: 1: things to exchange; 2. milk jar to pick up milk, 3. papers necessary to my trip 4. purse loaded with camera, mp3, glasses, billfold, etc. I guess it wouldn't hurt to throw re-usable bags in the trunk of the car. But my trunk carries a tire, tools, etc. dirty things. Dee Dee |

We have more room when we go with the Buick, but for shopping forays the Mazda is a little easier on gas mileage. We do use the Buick once a week, and as in all cars, I would imagine, the spare tire is underneath. The trunk gets used for larger purchases generally. DH is not so organized that he puts tools underneath where the tire is. He's by nature an engineer, likes his tools and is not a organized type of person to put them out of sight. Think: Sand Pebbles ;-)) The Mazda trunk is used when DH visits his father for wheel chair, walker & anything else you can imagine that goes along with his situation; I'm not too interested in putting anything there except a tight cooler. The back seat is used for shopping items. At any rate, plastic bags is not something I care to contend with; I have enough to think about when I leave home. Dee Dee |

re-usable shopping bags
I got one of those nylon shopping bags that have an attached stuff-sack AND
even a clasp, so you can hook on your belt loop. I keep it hanging on my car's turn signal. 9 times out of 10 I forget to bring it into the store and usually remember it when I get to the cashier and see them hanging there for sale. lol "Dee.Dee" > wrote in message ... > > <sf> wrote in message ... >> On Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:49:24 GMT, "James Silverton" >> > wrote: >> >>>I am unlikely to remember to bring my >>>own bag because I usually shop in Whole Foods on impulse. >> >> I keep a couple of reusable bags in the trunk of the car.
