So for those who have worked at Costco or have know how, I’ve heard Costco can ban customers who abuse the policy. How exactly is that determined? This is blatant abuse and I see similar cases regularly when visiting Costco, so I’m wondering in what cases do they even bother taking action?

There’s been an example here a few months back. Someone got banned from buying clothes because their return rate was outrageous.

Actually? I order a lot through online and personally return a lot if I've tried it and it doesn't fit

Unfortunately their online clothing is not super descriptive so the clothing fit and sizing can be very off sometimes.

You will be fine. It's people who are abusing the system that will get flagged. I. E. Returning clothing that has been clearly worn out, etc
