Group Ordering
Save Money. Stay Organized. Shop Costco as a Team.
Group orders reduce markup, streamline shopping, and give you tools to coordinate lists, communicate, and keep everyone on the same page.
Whether you’re managing a neighborhood, office, church group, or preparing for a vacation stay, groups make Costco shopping easier and more affordable.
Weekend Group Orders
Group orders work exceptionally well for weekends. A combined Costco receipt total of $250 or more meets the weekend minimum, and the 48-hour advance requirement still applies.
Why Start a Group?
A group order combines multiple households or members into one Costco shopping trip. Everyone benefits because the order size increases—automatically placing you into a lower markup tier.
Group Benefits:
-
Lower markup percentages (down to 16%)
-
Clear cost-sharing and list organization
-
Priority shopping communication
-
Fewer delivery fees when delivered to one location
-
Ideal for teams, STRs, church groups, and office circles
-
Convenient for weekly or monthly recurring orders

Group chat-style communication
-
Ability to add/update items before the order window

Each person sees what others added
-
A single checkout when ready

How Group Ordering Works
A simple, streamlined structure keeps everyone organized:
1. Create or Join a Group
Set up a private group on my website or join an existing group hosted by your office, property manager, church group, or neighborhood.
2. Add Items to the Shared List
Each member adds what they want. The system keeps the list clean and easy to follow.
3. Finalize the Order Window
Choose a schedule. One combined trip reduces cost and minimizes congestion at checkout.
4. Delivery or Pickup
Deliveries can go to a single location—or pickup at the upcoming 400 West facility. STR hosts often use pickup to prep units before guest arrival.
5. Everyone Pays Their Share
The receipt is included with the order, and divided by household. Fees and markups follow the standard tiered structure.
