Costco Auction Truckload Discount Savings
Save on shipping by consolidating multiple auctions from the same location
How it works
In order to maintain constant inventory flow, Costco runs many auctions closing on each day. To allow you an opportunity to save shipping when you win multiple lots, we are offering a Truckload Discount Savings program.
When you buy 20 pallet spaces or more from the same facility within a 48 hour time period and the orders are processed as paid the same day, you may qualify for a single truckload delivery. This means you may be credited the difference between the total shipping proceeds and the applicable truckload rate for your location. If your auctions are eligible for consolidation and result in a reduced ship cost, credits will be provided after delivery to ensure accuracy.
See below for a recent example of 10 lots (21 pallet spaces) being shipped and consolidated from the same location to save on shipping costs.
