Also, Costco is a U.S. company and they honor UK membership cards. There is a Costco in Orlando and most large U.S. cities.
Our friends have Costco membership and were able to shop there on a trip to Orlando last year. Purchased groceries for
their villa and stayed away from expensive restaurants.

I've shown my UK Makro card at the CS Desk and been allowed into Makro stores in Holland, Portugal & Mexico

Picked up a few bargains on each occasion

Still not received voucher booklet starting next week. Did just receive Costco Connection though. But I'd prefer the vouchers

Are you blaming individual postal workers or their management? There is a big difference between the two IMHO.

We also get the Autarky dry dog food, 15 kg bag for £12.75, did some research on the food and it seems as good as any of the other 'premium' dry foods that sell for up to £40 for the same size bag.

I buy Autarky for my dog as well, we must have similar shopping lists

In the Haydock Costco, voucher booklets are in a trolley when you go in and there's always some near the checkouts. So no probs if you haven't received yours.
