Though, having slept on the W bed and my Costco-purchased bed, I actually prefer the Costco bed.

Not to mention the Costco mattress program has excellent customer service. In 8 years they've replaced the bed twice at no cost and no questions.

great info! Thanks!^

I'm also frying Vermont Maple-Glazed Breakfast Sausages in Bacon Grease whilst I wait for the stew to get ready. :)

sounds like you learned your cooking skills from a waffle house or kettle short order cook.

I can't find rice crackers. The grocery store doesn't carry them any more nore does the Asian market anymore.

I've had them replace mattresses twice due to sagging. All you have to do is call them, cut the tags, mail them in and they order a new one from the factory.

I've had other friends who have bought their mattresses elsewhere and they've had to deal with an inspector and it's just a pita.

I know I paid under $1k for my mattress set from Costco as they put them on sale every few weeks.

Costco takes almost anything back with no questions. They are very easy to deal with, as is Sam's Club. ^

Good for you!^;):-:

On an unrelated topic -- my 'glucose' levels have gone up -- never have had this problem before -- it's definitely age! My accup doc said that I need to cut back on sweets & carbs -- whaaaat?!:eek: Never imagined that at 123 lbs -- I was at potential risk of future diabetes!:eek:

I get 'em at Trader Joe's ($2.99 for 17.6 oz)-- always stock up on them when I see them as they are often out of stock!:eek: I will put some aside for you -- the OH 'care' pkg!;)

I got too look into my mattress warranty. It has started to develop a small sag in the middle.

They might not have the ones I want as I want the good Japanese ones and the Chinese run places are cutting back on all things Japanese these days.

Costco is great. Though they have revised their electronics policies a few times over the last few years, though for good reason.

Now, if only everyone else could practice the same level of customer service...
