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

New to phones? That's how most apps work. Most do not nag you in-app to update unless it's for critical or security updates.

Bro…we are talking about this specific update. Not most apps. Costco chose to roll out this update quietly but it's maybe one of the most helpful features they've added in a long time.

Its about time. I can finally see the prices of items now. Ideally I would not have to search for each item one at a time, and I could see all transparent pricing like BJS or SAMS, but a step in the right direction finally.

I didn't had this option in my Costco app, just went to play store and updated the app and now I see the option. For those of you who don't have the option of seeing warehouse stock details can try this way.

Does anyone know the definition of "low stock" when it comes to Costco inventory? In other places like lowes or Home Depot it usually means 1 item left which means it's almost impossible to find?

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.

There are 4 major retailers with a subscription I can think of: Walmart, samsclub, Amazon, and Costco. Everyone has their preferences. I'm not saying I never go to Costco but I'm not some tribal shill and I'm not here to save humanity by shopping anywhere. Now think of just how many stores including those 4 have had inventory checking via website for YEARS. It reminds me when I worked retail in 2004 and SEARS didn't even have a accurate inventory system on site. I'd sell TVs we didn't even stock and lose money.

Best PSA ever. Thank you! Was able to check the beer selection, able to see if my local one has a new brand of fake meat I wanted to try, it's awesome.

Still lagging behind Sam's Club. Scan and Go is the killer feature.

100% this ^^, but at least now I have a reason to install the costco app. Costco definitely deserves a golf clap 👏 for this update.

Great, works for me. You can search an item, check availability and see the current warehouse price in the app. You need to click the warehouse tab within costco app.

Amazon is behind on treating their employees well. What's your point?

This is helpful to those who shop at Costco

Now if they would only get back to providing real value like they use to be known for...

I have always just jumped into the "Same Day Delivery" section to see inventory of my warehouse.

I never did a manual update, but I do see the feature. I guess they finally got tired of all the phone calls from the SD forum posters!

Possibly a related note: When I'm in the "Shop" section both on an item page and scrolling through items, I can see an "In Stock" indicator but it's for a different warehouse than my designated warehouse that I can see in the light blue bar at the top of the same screen. Anyone else have this issue? Both locations are close to me so it's not a big deal, just seems weird.

Yeah, sure... 28 years behind amazon showing their.. -checks notes- physical store inventory. 🤔



Costco employees are some of the only retail employees that are treated with some semblance of humanity, dignity, and decent pay. They do well by their employees. I'm not always a fan of the shopping experience but it feels much better to support Costco than Walmart or Amazon who screw their workers over continuously.

I don't like Costco as far as shopping experience goes HOWEVER I vastly respect the mission statement banner located at the entrance/exit. Take care of customers as #1. Take care of colleagues as #2. And such. Amazon don't have one obviously for all to see lol. Walmart, yes but not as much as Costco but yeah I get what
