Costco

Free samples are my favorite thing in the world, but besides that this costco is pretty good. It has basically everything a normal person needs in their daily life and also some more foreign things while still being cheap and in bulk. The only issue would be the lines, but not from a lack of trying on Costco’s part. I also like how they’re not evil walmart, so I don’t feel guilty going there and knowing their employees are slaves.

Costco is my favorite place. I love Costco. From the hot food, to the take and cook at home food, to the packages and packages of meat to actually cook at home, huge bags of veggies, huge bags of pretzel chips, two dozen packages of organic eggs for the price of regular ones at publix, to the tires and $ 6 propane refills… oh! And the $ 13 Kirkland vodka! (Did I mention I love Costco?) I would suggest trying to avoid weekends, because of the masses, but spending your time and money here is worth it even with hoards of people around. My only wish, is that they had more people to ask questions to. They only have the sample people around and apparently they’re not employed by Costco? They’re some other company. Any way I love Costco. In a zombie apocalypse I might let you in, but this one is mine hahaha

Great customer service, even though they were closing they offered to wait for us to go get our truck to fit the patio furniture we wanted to purchase.

We all know Costco is awesome. There’s no doubt about that. This location is better and nicer than the one in Doral, for a few reasons:
+ gas station at this location, cheap gas ftw!
+ vision center and optical
+ nice paved parking lot that hopefully won’t flood during torrential downpour
Same great food court food offered here. Bathrooms are questionable.
Lots of parking.

Kendall Costco is nice, bright, great prices for bulk items .
Very convenient optical service, .
I also had my tires changed there and the guys Really really know about tires…
The only thing I don’t like is the parking… is always busy… once you pass that part, the rest is great!

Everything you will ever need in one place in Bulk. You need a membership to enter and buy here. They have them for the individual and business.
Located in a large strip mall by the Tamiami airport. This place gets packed before holidays and especially the weekends. Most of what you find here is either in bulk or super-​sized. They have clip less coupons so you don’t have to cut them or worry about if you brought them. They accept cash, debt card, and American Express. Staff is bilingual and helpful in finding what you’re looking for. They have large shopping carts and large dollies for you shopping needs. They also have plenty of parking in this location.

Let me start by saying that i am a Costco fan. Always have been. All their products are very good in quality, however this is the third time that I have encountered an issue with their rotisserie chicken from the deli department … It is not well cooked.
I have addressed the issue with them and they have offered me my money back or another chicken for free but really who wants raw chicken .
It is very dangerous and it is disgusting .
Not to mention the fact that when you are buying a rotisserie chicken you are buying it for the purpose of arriving home with at least 75% of the dinner or meal ready for your family. You don’t want to cut up your chicken and see that is raw and go back to the store to exchange or stick it in the oven to cook it. It defeats the whole purpose.
I was hesitant to post this because I don’t like to post negative reviews but fact that I have addressed the issue with them and they have yet to resolve it.
I just want to put out here that a lot of people can get sick from consuming raw chicken. Salmonella!
They really need to fix this issue. And look into this .
I will post some pictures to prove that I am telling the truth.

It’s costco. If you shop here or in canada they are the same. I think they are in need of another location we were smashed into a few times kids and adults
I felt like we were in a sardine can it was so packed … it didn’t stop us from spending 600 $ I also sat and watched an old man with a jar or cashews and then put it back on the shelf… I’m pretty sure he realized I was going to tell so he came back for that container and another… I will try and find a different one next time.
When we were exiting we were in a line of atlas 30 people and only one staff member checking receipts.
Me not impressed

I am a huge fan of Costco. they have great prices and staff. Their return policy is ridiculous. For example I recently threw a big party and bought all my beer, wine and alcohol from Costco. It turns out about half of it was untouched and unopened so i was able to return it all for full refunds! Their hot food area always hits the spot! I have become a fan of all the extra costco benefits as well, I got my tires from the Costco Tireshop, when I am in the area i get Costco gas! Its an all around great experience. Sure other shops like BJs have more selection, but the Costco staff is always customer service oriented!

Getting bulk stuff here! Try not to visit during weekends, it gets too crowded and lines to pay are crazy. Paper towels, dishwasher liquid, toothbrushes, toothpaste, meat, fruit are great deals here. Remember, you will have stocking for some time, make sure you have the space to store it! It’s definitely cheaper at Costco, and they have gas too at this location! Location is huge, once you have visited several times, you will remember where the stuff is.
They have a tire center, they always have a long line, so plan accordingly. Aprox they take like 2 hours to change the tires in case you want a new set. What is included with the purchase of your tires? rotation every 7,000 miles and if your tire has a prick (well, not ALL of the holes). Check with them if they have a coupon, sometimes the COSTCO coupon book offers a rebate for tires.
Did you know that you can get movie tickets here? for Regal & Cinemark theaters. Thank me later.

Been a Costco member for almost 20 years, and while I also have a membership to BJ’s Wholesale Club, I come here for certain items I can’t get a BJ’s and because some items are cheaper. I use the travel services often for great deals. I do miss my Plano Texas Costco where they used to roast the coffee beans, but this location is nice although really busy.

I love Costco! Shopping here is a must for many things. I buy the snacks for my daughters lunch and my granola bars from Costco. We also buy things we didn’t necessarily come for like clothes, towels, plants, and food! Lol.
We buy our paper towels, toilet paper, wipes, diapers, and cleaning products from Costco. It’s fantastic. These are things you can use in large quantities because you go through them quickly.
The food is great quality. The fruits and meat are fantastic. We also buy our milk here. We buy our pets food here too.
We enjoy eating here sometimes when we come to shop. A hot dog and a drink are $ 1.50! You can’t go wrong with that. The pizza is delicious! The chicken bake is my hubby’s favorite. Even my picky kiddo likes it. I also like their ceasar salad. It’s a big portion and it’s always fresh.
The best thing you can get at Costco believe it or not is their gas. It’s 20 cents cheaper per gallon at Costco in comparison to the gas station at the corner of my house! We always gas up here. You should too (membership required).

This Costco is a zoo. Parking is awful, lines are long no matter what day you go. It’s like Christmas at Walmart. Gas is higher than BJ’s. Pricey too– 5 – 6 items will be around $ 100.
Tire center– horrible, staff is tired and rushing to get job done and go home or on break. Last time I purchased Michelin tires for my car there I was told they would not rotate because I was 200 miles before my before it was due and if they did do it, then they would cancel my warranty. Another time I pointed tire had a small slash and when I asked tech if that was safe he said yeah should not be an issue. I realized he was getting ready to go on lunch break. Was he right?! NO! A month later my tire exploded and I had to tow my car to them and had them replace it. Manager asked me which tech has said no for whatever reason he said that he should never allowed me to drive my car that day. Staff is not courteous, a bit arrogant and they act like they are doing you a favor. It’s either time to hire new blood at this place or have a manager present to witness this type of behavior.
I now go to BJ’s is closer, cheaper and less lines. I get my gas, booz and with $ 150 I have a full cart of groceries. They double coupon too you can use their store coupon and manufacturing coupons at the same time. They had a groupon special where you only paid $ 30 for membership and also gave me $ 25 gift card. Great customer service.
For Costco I now drive to Miami Lakes. A little further, but better customer service.

Great costco. I’d rather drive all the way to Kendall than go to the one in Doral. Service and quality of the foods they carry are superb when compared with Doral Costco. They should open another one in Miami preferably by Pinecrest !

I have a BJ’s right next to my house, yet I travel 20 minutes to costo.
I’ve been a costco member for about 10 years and love it.
Their brand is fantastic. Here are a few musts: egg whites, milk, eggs, organic produce.
I also make purchases there for
clothing and toys for my daughter.
I love that they give out samples of products as it is always good to try out new thins, and with this, they give you a chance to taste them before purchasing.
It is a bit busy during weekend, but what isn’t?
The employees are helpful and most of them have worked there for years and years as they love their jobs and feel valued. Great company and perfect place to buy in bulk.
I recommend becoming a member.
Their cafeteria is also good. They have pizza, hotdogs, sandwiches, desserts, and much more! Good prices too! check it out (cash only). Can be prepaid at cashier of store while you make purchase.

This Costco location has a lot to offer. I’m also very surprised that they even sell herbs like basil. The prices are very reasonable especially on the liquor. A bottle of Johnny walker blue label was $ 176 …that is fantastic considering it was $ 225 in Alaska. The staff is very helpful here too. The only thing I don’t like is that the aisles felt a bit crowded and there were alot of people. Still a great value for the price you pay :-)

Omg! This Costco has freshly made/​baked bread from scratch! If you look closely, you can see the employees actually making the dough on site. I haven’t seen this at any other Costco so you guys living in Kendall are lucky.
I like going to this Costco more than the Doral location because they have a gas station here at the Kendall!
AVOID the weekends if you can. Like many here on Unilocal have noted, it gets very crowded. If you do brave the weekend crowd, mind your Ps and Qs and bring a healthy dose of patience.
Remember Costcos of the 90s? Samples were aplenty.
Nowadays, those sample ladies are so slow and stingy. I think it’s their policy. They often wait until a customer is waiting in front of them to start preparing the samples. And they often prep a few samples at a time. «You’re welcome» is also a rare treat when I hear it after thanking them for a sample.
Otherwise, Costco is great. If you have the time on a weekday check out all the aisles because there’s always a new product to be found.
This week’s find was Red Lobster biscuit mix. How fun is that? The mix is unhealthy as expected, but it made great biscuits.
I could survive on just Costco foods, but I like to keep an eye on prices and sometimes the grocery store has better deals. The overall quality of the meat and seafood section is pretty good and how can you beat $ 5 rotisserie chicken?
They only take cash, debit cards, or Amex.
Beware of discounts on produce. I got six hass avocados for $ 4.99 and half of them went in the trash. It didn’t help that the cashier threw my avocados into the metal cart after scanning them. Ideally the avocados would be from California and Mexico (seem to stay in good condition). Oddly, the avocados from Peru seem to be the worst :(
4 passport photos are only $ 5.34 including tax. from the photo department .
The eyeglass department also has really great prices on frames, lenses, as well as eye exams.
Parking seems more spacious than Doral too.

I love Costco!
the staff are always pleasant especially in the bakery. I needed help for a cake, and boom I got what I needed as well as comical relief. :)
the prices are awesome. you get your moneys worth, you just have to figure out a few things before going. if the price is really worth it. most of the time it is though.
THE ONLY DOWNFALL is the crowds!!! OMG they are horrible!!!

Pros: finally have some Organic selections! Great products and the Kirkland branded stuff is the BEST! Also their Gas is the cheapest in the neighborhood! Hit dogs are the
Cons: SELF CHECKOUT should be ⁵⁄₁₀ items or less but in Kendall means ‘I think i can process my whole cart filled to the brim by myself’.

I’ve always been impressed with this Costco, even at it’s previous location closer to Kendall. Always stocked, always organized and reasonably priced.
Another thing that speaks well for it as a place of employment is that most of the employees have been there since I’ve been going there, since 1998 or so.
What brings me here today is a nice experience that I had today, even though it started out not-​so-​nice. I must first say that even though I love this store, I also must say that in general big warehouse spaces always wig me out. I get hot and sweaty while at the same time my skin is cold. By the time I’m done there… I A.M. D.O.N.E!!!
So, I wait in line for about 10 minutes and finally, it’s my turn…{{{{{{Angels sing AAAAAAA}}}…so she rings me up (I have no extra money today, it’s basically, pay for what’s in my basket and stay home till hubby’s payday on Friday) and says, it’s time to renew, I am going to add $ 110 (when did it go up AGAIN!!!) to your bill. I tell her, «oops, I don’t have the money today, can you ring me up and I’ll come back on pay day to renew?». I have done this before and it’s not been a problem. They ring me up and keep my card (I assume so I don’t try to do this again;) She says, «Nope, sorry, I cant do anything about it, Luis, put her groceries back» and hands me my card.
I walk away empty-​handed and a little stunned but the kind soul that saw me coming in earlier sees me at the door and asks me what happened. I explain to him (pretty sure I was teary-​eyed at this point) what happened and he calls over the manager who is a nice-​looking tall black man (I’m only describing him because I didn’t get his name and I’m hoping he reads this review;). I tell him what happened and he tells me that he will take care of it. He leads me over to the «put back» carts and helps me collect my stuff in another cart and then leads me over to that register way back over by the cigarette section, opens the cash register, calls over an associate and tells the guy, «take good care of this lady for me, just don’t scan her card». The guy scans my stuff, I pay him and Mr. Manager comes back around, looks kindly in my eyes, and says, «I am so sorry that this happened.»
Pretty sure I fainted at this point. In Miami!!!
I’m still high on the feeling… just sayin’
