Costco寬鬆退貨政策下的隱藏規則：退回超過50%購物將被標記

costco退貨政策會員標記

Quick Look

Costco以極為寬鬆的退貨政策聞名，但員工透露若會員退回至少50%的購買商品將被內部標記，濫用退貨行為如退回庭院家具或聖誕樹可能導致會員資格被取消，退貨與會員帳戶直接關聯使得Costco可追蹤購買與退貨模式。

Why It Matters

Costco以其寬鬆的退貨政策著稱，讓消費者可在購買數月甚至數年後退回商品，但內部存在未公開的會員標記機制。

〔財經頻道／綜合報導〕好市多（Costco）提供寬鬆的退貨政策，這也讓消費者的退貨理由百百種，無論是衣服不合身，或者是零食吃起來糟透了，Costco都會收下商品並退款給消費者，但很少人知道的是，Costco其實會把濫用寬鬆退貨政策的會員給標記，甚至進一步取消會員資格，雖然目前並不知道達到多少退貨比例會導致會員被禁止退貨，但一名Costco員工表示，如果會員退回至少50%的購買商品，就會被標記，而那些看起來只是暫時使用商品，然後在大量使用後又退回的會員也一樣會被標記。

Costco對大多數商品承諾「100%滿意保證」，這代表消費者通常可以在購買數個月，有時甚至數年後退回商品，但退貨的實際情況，可能會比會員在Costco網站上看到的內容稍微複雜一些。Costco消費者與員工多年來揭露了許多非官方的特殊規定、隱藏例外以及模糊地帶，許多會員直到站在退貨櫃檯前才完全搞清楚。

請繼續往下閱讀...

大多數Costco商品沒有退貨期限，只要會員對商品不滿意就可以退貨，網路上的討論充斥著消費者退回老舊吸塵器、故障烤爐以及已經使用過一段時間的床墊等消息，但值得注意的是，Costco每筆消費都會直接與會員帳戶連結。這代表Costco可以看到會員買了什麼、何時購買？還有退貨頻率，或是有沒有可疑的退貨模式，以及是否經常退回高價商品。

Costco可以因為過度濫用退貨政策而取消會員資格。多名離職員工及長期消費者的說法顯示，習慣性「頻繁退貨者」最終可能會在內部系統中被標記。

一名員工表示，如果會員退回至少50%的購買商品，就會被標記，而那些看起來只是暫時使用商品，然後在大量使用後又退回的會員也一樣會被標記。員工經常抱怨的例子包括：夏天過後退回庭院家具、聖誕節過後把已經枯死的聖誕樹拿回來退、美國超級盃隔天退回大型電視，或是多年後因為床墊變得「不舒服」而退貨。

雖然Costco的退貨制度在所有門市都採取標準化規定，但許多退貨最終仍取決於該店主管裁量、當地門市文化，以及員工是否認為消費者的行為合理。網路論壇上充斥著各式各樣的退貨經驗，結果會因門市及具體情況而大不相同。

The United States relaxes duty-free imports of 660 million pounds of beef, consumers may not be able to see the origin

U.S. President Trump signed a proclamation to relax duty-free imports of about 660 million pounds of cheap beef, but consumers may not be able to see the country of origin because U.S. law does not mandate labeling of the country of origin of beef. The New York Times editorial pointed out that this batch of beef is mainly lean beef trimmings and frozen meat cuts, which will be mixed with American beef to be made into ground meat and burgers. Controversies over drug residues and banned antibiotics have broken out in some of the source countries. The focus is on private meetings between Brazilian meat giant JBS and its family and Trump, raising questions about the policy formation process.
