Your absolutely correct. An electrician would install an outlet and charge you to do that.
My point was that, the install is no longer free if your dishwasher is hardwired. If they show up and see that it doesn't have an outlet than they are just going to leave everything there and you will need to schedule install with an electrician.
Alternatively, you can just install it yourself (hardwire it and hook up water line, etc.).
This is just a PSA to check your current setup before scheduling anything otherwise you may have delays and extra costs associated with the "free delivery and install".
My dishwasher installation from Costco required "upgrading" my existing 3 prong outlet underneath the sink to a GFCI before they would install it. An electrician came a few days before the dishwasher install and changed the outlet. I think they charged $100.
I asked if they could just physically install the dishwasher and leave it unplugged (and I would plug it in myself to the existing regular non GFCI outlet), they wouldn't go for it. I guess I could have saved $100 (less parts) and changed the outlet out myself but I am lazy and didn't want to crawl and bend under the sink.

Does costco uninstall your old dishwasher or did you have to do that yourself?
