Costco bans me, unbans me, bans me, and unbans me again

I’m sure you guys saw this one coming. This happened after the switch from UPS to Fedex. Fedex was supposed to delivery my package, but they didn’t even attempt a delivery and went immediately to return to sender. This of course put eyes on my account. After that happened, all of my orders were getting cancelled. Eventually a rep said it was because I had too many returns from my address. This wasn’t true except for the one RTS due to Fedex’s fault. Anyway, I filed a BBB against Costco basically saying I can’t place online orders. Within a couple of days, they responded back to the complaint saying they resolved the issue and the address block was removed.

I was then able to place a few more orders but then things started to get cancelled again. In the meantime, I got a letter in the mail saying some of my household members had their memberships cancelled since they already had a membership, meaning my wife has her own membership, but I also had her as a household member. I’m guessing this is when the second ban happened.

I then re-opened the BBB complaint saying I was back to having problems placing online orders. After a few days, they replied back saying they’ve removed the restrictions and that I could shop again. Haha so straight to the point. There was no email or phone call telling me WHY I was blocked in the first place. Anyway, I’m back in business but for who knows how long. So if Costco cancels all your online orders, give BBB a shot.
