    Costco is probably the best big store/whse place to deliver currently imo, I love those loads. They definitely have better attitudes even inside, like night and day vs something like a Home Depot where they are never happy it seems.

    I'd be there at your appointment time or before. If the place you are going to is anything like the Costco in Monroe NJ you will be 20 trucks back in line.

    60 bins of watermelons, 45 minutes gate to gate Saturday morning in Sumner. I love Costco. They opened a new one near home and we said screw SAMs and got a membership there.

    I only have a Sam's membership because it's 10 minutes from my house and Costco is 30. Otherwise I'd go to Costco in a heartbeat...

    Been to the Sumner, WA many many times, W. Palm once...the one in 'Joisey once (or was that BJ's) I've never had a bad visit. I love the way they do things, no radio chatter to listen to while you wait for an empty call (like some Wally/Sam's do). Just wait for the buzzer thing to scare the crap out of you and head for the gate.

    I have delivered P&G to the stores with a previous employer. They're not quite as fast, but still had me done well before the P&G 2 hour deadline....They should teach a course on proper warehousing techniques...

    Go to Costco Mira Loma 2-3 times a week, almost always a great unload. Did get detention from them once and only once in 2011, not bad considering I've probably been there over a thousand times. Other recievers should go there to see how it's done!

    Picked up from the Costco in Sumner , WA today. It was fast. Swift has a large contract with them from the DCs to the stores including the heavy haul. Our Swift terminal next door in Sumner is almost entirely Costco heavy haul. Costco also has their own trucks and other carriers running their freight.


    They always seem efficient and fast to me.
