Costco sues for ‘full refund’ (...) 12/02/25(Tue)10:46:29 No.1461779
Costco sues for ‘full refund’ of tariffs Anonymous 12/02/25(Tue)10:46:29 No.1461779
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/5629293-costco-trump-lawsuit-tariffs/?tbref=hp

Costco filed a recent lawsuit seeking a full refund if the Supreme Court strikes down the bulk of President Trump’s tariffs.

The big-box warehouser joins dozens of companies that have lined up for refunds in recent weeks as the high court’s decision looms.

Like the others, Costco said it needed to file its own case because it is “not guaranteed a refund for those unlawfully collected tariffs in the absence of their own judgment and judicial relief.”

The company is represented by law firm Crowell & Moring, which has brought roughly 50 near-identical lawsuits on behalf of separate companies.

The list of companies that have recently sued include players in the auto industry — such as Kawasaki and several corporations part of the Toyota Group — food companies such as Bumble Bee Foods, and the cosmetics business Revlon. Even board game company Smirk & Dagger Games filed.

It comes as the Supreme Court prepares a decision on whether Trump can invoke a 1970s emergency powers law, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), to justify his sweeping tariffs. The justices heard oral arguments last month.

The IEEPA provides the president unilateral authority to “regulate” importation when necessary to combat a national emergency, but a group of Democratic-led states and small businesses are attempting to convince the court that Trump has stretched the law too far.

Is Costco going to refund their customers the tariff surcharge? Obviously not.

It would be nice if they listed some of the other companies.

I don't shop at Costco but allegedly they have been eating the cost on a lot of items to keep prices the same, particularly food/grocery.

Maybe try reading

Costco is one of the companies that has records on all purchases available online and make most of their revenue from membership fees rather than purchases. I feel like the goodwill they could get would do a huge amount for their brand on the 'they value customers' encouraging people to sign up even more.

Also, when the far right was pressuring companies to drop DEI policies Costco was one of the few to tell trump to go fuck himself and not change a thing.
This caused an uptick in membership enrollment since real Americans like to support groups that don't kneel to fascism.

Republicans will spin this as a win and that Trump being the high IQ muscular overgod used the tariffs as an investment loan.

I don't get it, leftists insisted that corporations didn't pay any tariffs. So how could Costco sue for tariffs that they never paid for?

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that. There’s not one near me, and it’d be a very different way of shopping than what I’m used to, but it does feel like the right thing to do.

Costco is like Sam's Club, but not run by assholes.
Also the founder famously said, that if the current CEO raised prices on their $1.50 hot dog meal, he'd personally murder him.

Costco is to me the corporate personification of the American Ideal. They combine sheer production power, standardisation, and genuine quality while not sacrificing ethics (too much). Every single aspect of those stores is designed to be interchangeable across the world, down to the fucking light fittings. It reminds me of how American military manufacturing worked back in WW2, carefully designed to ensure that everybody got top-tier equipment at a reasonable price.
And of course the founder famously threatened to kill any motherfucker who screwed with the price of the hot dogs.
So yeah I trust the fuckers with my life.

Only because he's being held at gun point to intentionally ignore Ford v Dodge by putting customers ahead of shareholder profit.
If the shareholders had their way, they'd jack up the hot dog meal to $5.
