I’m not an Amazon fan boy, but I am a Costco fan boy, and they do the same thing, so I don’t really think I can be too upset about this. Retail is ruthless.

- RyJones 7y agoI've lived in Kirkland, Washington, off and on since 1994. It's amazing how many people all over the world know of Kirkland from Costco branding. For a log time the reddit tag line[0] was "We're more than Costco!" [0]: https://old.reddit.com/r/Kirkland/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Kirkland/
- sharkweek 7y agoSame actually! Grew up in Juanita from ‘89-‘03 then went to UW and have stayed in Seattle proper mostly since. I always thought it was funny, as a young kid, that my city’s name was on all sorts of products, not making the connection.
- RyJones 7y agoNice. My youngest was born in Juanita at our apartment! I like the area well enough, obviously, to start a reddit about it.
- glitcher 7y ago> they do the same thing So I can sell my small company's products through Costco's web platform without Costco ever directly purchasing my product?
- aksx 7y agoSo costco pays a small companies to sell their product and extract sales data. Should amazon start paying small companies at the same margin that costco does?
- akira2501 7y ago> but I am a Costco fan boy, and they do the same thing Are you sure? My understand was the Kirkland is mostly just a re-badge for already existing manufacturers.. Kirkland usually buys up their "B" stock/bin of items and just rebrands them.
