Your fulfillment and shipping capabilities will depend on which avenue of Costco you are pursuing, as well as the department and potential order quantities. If your product will be distributed nationally to Costco warehouses, you may be asked to have a certain amount of product on hand and ready to ship in the event a warehouse runs out. In this case, your warehouse would need to hold enough product or you would need to partner with a fulfillment center.
If you are pursuing Costco.com, your fulfillment/shipping requirements will be very different (see https://vendorco.com/_blog/VENDORCO_Blog/post/costcocom-shipping-packaging-fulfillment/). Regardless of whether you are selling to in-store or Costco.com, you will need to have established yourself as a company that CAN deliver, and that does so on time.
