I bought a Socket set from Costco about 5 yrs ago made by "Crescent" to be honest it's been bloody brilliant and the wrench and socket quality is superb, sadly the 3/8 ratchet went kaput yesterday when the direction switch fell apart. I recalled it had a lifetime guarantee when I bought it but obviously have no receipt. Being a tightarse I phoned them and enquire how I go about getting it fixed and they want me to bring in the whole set, possibly a problem as there are numerous lost sockets, snapped extensions etc but I will get what I have together and take it in, best case they send it away to be fixed, worst case they refund it and I buy the lovely craftsman set they now stock.

If you don't try....... Good Luck!!!!

Are they aware you don't have a receipt mate? Companies usually don't do anything without the receipt. I know when I went and got replacement sockets from hellfrauds, even though the socket had Halfords stamped on it and all their sockets and sets are life guaranteed  they still wanted the receipt

They can track it through the membership. Halfords didnt care when I changed a breaker bar a couple of weeks ago without a receipt, depends on who's working I guess

That's the thing isn't it. some will help and some will be adamant you need the receipt

I exchanged an electrical item at Costco with no receipt, they know where & when you bought via their records.

I like Costco!  But not everything is cheap there. 

I think they make a lot of money from people who just assume that everything there is cheap!!

I agree that not all there stuff is cheap/inexpensive, but on the other hand, they don't sell cheap crap, most is good value for money eg meat  ..... the beef is excellent. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Agreed!

I think you'll find Costco will just refund the original price.

Their tools ain't too bad for the money. But most of it is American, where a lot of tools tend to be better than a lot of the chinese shite our stores stock. They're no always the cheapest, but the quality and aftersales I've always found to be excellent...   ...if you are prepared to go in to get stuff sorted.

Some stores are better than others. MK have been fantastic in sorting out what I've bought, following my little incident. The Cov store were rather hopeless


I'm with Andy B on meat. Their sirloin is fan-frakkin-tastic. Probably the best steak I've ever eaten, even after being frozen.

Steak you say. Hmmm...

Honestly, some of the best steak I've ever had. Was about £50 (was on offer), she cut into 18 great bit fat slabs of cow, and froze 'em.

She grills them to a old school medium/well (so a modern cremated), so its cooked all the way through, and it melts in ya cakehole. Served up with chips, peas and onion rings.

Fan-friggin-tastic.


Somehow, my pizza looks piss poor now

Heathen!!    You might as well cook some Tesco/(The - for Scousers  ) Asda/other supermarket value steak if you're going to cook incinerate it like that 

Steak should have at least some pink in the middle

Not for me it shouldn't. As Elvis once said "I want a meal,not a pet". 
Rare meat tastes of blood.Disgusting imo.
