Costco’s ecommerce products do not necessarily match the warehouse inventory. Not all products that you see on Costco.com are available in the warehouses, and vice versa. Costco.com offers a higher SKU count and a wider demographic, as you do not have to be a Costco member to make a purchase on Costco.com. This makes Costco.com an attractive option to manufacturers having difficulty with in-line sales placement.

Before you get too eager, you should know that Costco.com does pose certain challenges for the hopeful vendor. For example, you are typically expected to be responsible for your own fulfillment with capabilities to drop ship to any US address, included Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. It is important to account for this, and many other responsibilities that you will have as a Costco.com supplier.
