Costco Next disappears from website seemingly without warning
Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Costco has quietly discontinued its online marketplace, Costco Next, which offered members up to 40% off on products not available in its warehouses from about 80 vendor partners.
- The program redirected shoppers to custom storefronts on vendor websites where purchases were completed directly, but now visitors see a message stating the service is no longer available.
- Costco advised customers seeking returns or warranty support for previous purchases to contact vendors directly, providing a list of vendors with active return policies.
- The closure surprised some shoppers, as the platform was reportedly gaining momentum, with third-quarter 2025 sales matching the entire 2022 fiscal year’s sales for Costco Next.
- The concept originated in 2016 and underwent several refinements before fully launching, aiming to offer members quality goods at great value, but no further details on the closure have been provided by Costco.
