It's in the warehouse tab. Not sure if it's accurate since it's still beta. Will visit my local warehouse and validate.

I doubt it's accurate. The goal is to get you to come shop in store. They have all these videos explaining the strategy of constantly changing goods so it's like a surprise each time you come and find a new deal. Even the prices are cheaper in store. It helps justify the membership fee. Same psychology being the rotisserie chicken in the very back. And the break even food court. If you actually know the stock of an item or lack thereof, you might not actually go in...

My point is the Costco shopping experience is terrible. I live near one of the biggest Costco in the country (sales volume). The employees act entitled and act like they're doing you a favor. One time I called to get inventory on an item. After 3 calls, someone picked up. They wouldn't give me the price over the phone as if I was conducting corporate espionage. Lol. In my opinion, they're over paid. But that's only my 2 cents.
I shop at THE busiest Costco (sales volume) and the employees there are great. Your shopping experience at your location has more to do with the people that LIVE IN YOUR AREA than being employed by Costco.

About time. They released an iOS update about a month back with this feature that wasn't live until now. Seems to work well

Fantastic. Working for me. Now if there were only a way to search for everything with a price ending in .97 to see what they are clearing out.

Thanks for the heads up!

I don't understand why the Costco haters feel the need to post here.
Just disregard and move along to the next post that's actually relevant to you.

and Amazon can have major issues when trying to get an actual person to help. We had someone on the phone tell us they were going to fix a refund mistake. Waited a week with no refund. They all have their own positives and negatives

It's just showing "in-stock" or "low stock." I'm not seeing the ACTUAL number of an item that's physically in-stock at my local store.

Is that what everyone is seeing?

Not available yet on my Android phone (Galaxy S23U). Checked the play store, but it shows I have the most recent version available to me. If other Android users have the update then it may be a phased rollout. Some apps do that

It does work on my iPad after I did an update to the app.

Will this warehouse inventory checker show the in-warehouse price?

It started working for me last night on two different Androids.

Well said. That comment was some ridiculous whataboutism, and this is why we can't have a meaningful discussion here. Although your original post could have been better if it was comparing with Walmart, Sam's club etc.
