Costco online prices are usually higher than in-store prices. Additionally, you still pay shipping on quite a few items. So you get hit twice.
I recently bought some Ferrero Rocher chocolates (48 ct) for Christmas:
* In-store -- $14.99 - $3.80 sale
* Online ---- $17.99 - $3.80 sale + $3.00 shipping
The final online price is 54% higher. Ridiculous. The crazy thing about the shipping is it's $3 per item. Order 3 and shipping is $9. The free shipping threshold for this item is $75.
This is why I rarely order anything online. My last online purchase was a year ago and only because the store was out of stock.
