I have both and go to both but I find myself at Sam's much more often than Costco. Both have pros and cons, but Costco's online presence is one of the worst for any large chain store.

No in-store pickup, no store price check, no inventory check online, no scan and pay, etc. They also charged for shipping the last time I checked.

They have more pros if you're in the store already, but this is 2023. They're so far behind everyone else.
And another thing!

Sams has scan and go. Costco doesn't. This is enough to keep my Sams membership.

Lines at both clubs can be hideous. So with Sams, at least I can mostly skip them.
But Costco doesn't even offer in-store pickup though. I have both membership BTW.

Good deal, but Sam's charging a membership fee, then insultingly trying to charge an additional $4 fee for pickup orders has single-handedly made me decide to move to Costco when it opens in my area next year.

Absolutely valid point, but for me it's more about Sam's trying to set a precedent. I don't like being nickel and dimed by corporations making billions.

Curbside pickup is still free for Plus members. I have both Costco and Sam's Club (Plus) memberships, but find myself shopping at Sam's way more often. I absolutely love the Scan-and-Go feature of the Sam's mobile app and use it every time I shop at the store. It works at their gas pumps too (no need to pull out my membership card or credit card to buy gas). Not having to stand in a long line at the checkout register is absolutely amazing. I also like the online shopping experience at Sam's more. I can easily find items, see if they're in stock at my local store or available for shipping. The free shipping on most items for Plus members is the main reason I upgraded. And lately, I noticed that if my local Sam's store has the item in stock, and I choose free shipping, someone in their personal vehicle will bring the item to my front door the same day or the very next day (even though I didn't choose Delivery), which is awesome, as I don't have to wait for FedEx. (BTW, I have Walmart+ too and noticed this same trend with shipping items which also happen to be in stock at my local Walmart store.)

Again, I have a Costco membership too, because they have unique items that I can't find at Sam's (and vice versa) and run sales at different times. But Costco seriously needs to revamp their online shopping experience. I shouldn't have to call my local Costco store just to see if they carry a certain item or have it in stock. And even though Costco does run online sales with free shipping on certain items, most regular items require a shipping/handling fee. I wish Costco would offer an upgraded membership with free shipping on most items. I also dread having to wait in the very long checkout lines at my local Costco store, which is why they could really use a mobile app feature like Scan-and-Go. Oh, and Costco doesn't even offer the option of curbside pickup.

I completely understand your point, though, and would feel annoyed too if I didn't already have a Plus membership, on principle. But I still think that the benefits outweigh the cons here.

That's going to depend on your location, of course, but my local Sam's Club does stock these.

I have a Costco membership. Bought 4 tires at a great price and it includes free rotation for the tires. Just the rotations I do twice a year pays for the membership.

Forgot to say that it is free tire rotation and balance.

Costco charging for shipping is very much item dependent. For the most part shipping is free.
