Costco Has Ended This Online Service without Notice
The program had offered members discounts from dozens of partner brands before Costco disabled storefront access and told customers to contact vendors directly.
- Costco shut down its Costco Next online marketplace on Monday without announcement, disabling the service link on its app and website.
- The 'curated marketplace' program had offered exclusive deals on dozens of third-party brands, including Jacuzzi, Viking, Anker Electronics, Paragon Outdoor, Briggs, Riley, and Gorilla sheds.
- Assistant general merchandise manager Nino Garcia noted the program was 'born in 2016,' requiring years of refinements, while CFO Gary Millerchip said in May 2025, 'We are excited about the pipeline of new vendors.'
- Costco now directs members to contact vendors directly for returns and warranty inquiries, shifting responsibility from the retailer to individual companies.
- The sudden closure caught members and partner brands by surprise, and Costco did not immediately return a request for comment from USA TODAY about the program's disappearance.
