Costco (and costco.com) seems to be working on filling the niche of a trusted source for quality products at reasonable prices, with great customer service. All while treating their employees well (as I understand it).

The frequently quoted Costco (and costco.com) downside is the limited selection.
But that's partly because they do a dang good job in selecting good stuff.
You can walk into Costco, buy anything there and know that you got a pretty good thing for a pretty good price. (Not the best thing, or the best price, but pretty good.) And if you didn't, there's always the ridiculously good return/warranty policies.
You know that's a good idea. I'm already a member.
They're a little challenging for us New Yorkers though, all those massive sizes and so on.
I've already moved basically all my electronics purchasing to B&H. Maybe I should just stop expecting Amazon to be something that it isn't.
