Costco did not even sell merchandise on its website until 1998, and, in those days, the selection was very limited.
Sure, Costco Travel lived there, but the website was more about advertising ancillary services, like TurboTax access than selling anything to members
In recent years, however, Costco has a greatly expanded selection, and it allows members to use Instacart and Shipt to order select items directly from its warehouses.
It had also been building on that with its digital-only program, Costco Next, which lets members access items the warehouse club does not stock. It's not a new service; it has technically been around since 2017. But Costco does not promote the offering, and it's something I, and many other members, did not know about.
Now, that service has been shut down with no notice.
