do you need a costco membership to buy from costco.ca?

hi at first i thought i needed a membership so i got one. then when i went to order from costco.ca, seems like a costco member ship is not mandatory.

there's a box asking for membership # but it's not a "required field".

so should i still keep my costco card? lol

thanks!

Membership is refundable in full at any time if you ate dissatisfied.

...to answer your question, although you don't need a card to shop online, you do pay a premium and you don't have the range of merchandise available that you will find in-store.

Costco does not pro-rate membership refunds. You receive 100% of what was paid.

I cancelled and was only reimbursed the remaining months.

Then you likely should go talk to someone. There is a sanctification refund of 100% in any sanctification related case.

Then it is possible I got screwed, not sure if they have anything still on record regarding this. I did not had to sign anything, they just gave me the difference in cash...and the remaining in their pockets I guess.
