Costco is the land of endless free samples and some great deals on bulk items.
Shopping at Costco is truly a unique experience, but with its great prices it can be hard to leave the store without a trunk full of heavy boxes. The convenience of online shopping, and the thought of never having to lug heavy bags of groceries ever again, make services like Amazon's Prime Pantry and Jet.com's grocery department very tempting. The good news for Costco lovers and bargain hunters alike is that you don't need to count the warehouse giant out of the running if you prefer to do your grocery shopping from a screen.
Yes, you can order from Costco online - but there are some caveats. Here's what you should know:

Normally, you have to be a member to shop at Costco. The membership options are either a $60 or $120 annual fee. To shop online, you don't have to have a membership card, but there are caveats. For non-members, most online items apply a 5% surcharge at checkout. Depending on how much you plan to spend at Costco every year, the 5% surcharge may cost you less than an annual membership would.
Also important to note, some items on the site have a delivery fee. If you spend over $75 on an order, these separate delivery fees are waived, which is not hard to do given that most of the items are big, bulk buys. Additionally, the prices and availability of items are based on your zip code, so for the purpose of this article we used a Manhattan zip.
Whether or not you're a member, you can still take advantage of the great deals Costco has to offer when you shop on their website. We did the grunt work and scoured Costco, as well as its competitors, to figure out what deals are actually worth it.
