Unidays offers exclusive student discounts on all sorts of brands, not just Adidas. In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the Adidas student discount, from who qualifies, to how to get the student discount, and more.

Is the Discount For Full-Priced Items Only?

Yes.

The Adidas student discount is only for full-price, nonexclusive items.

You also can’t stack your student discount with any other discounts or coupon codes.

PRO TIP: GET 15% DISCOUNT IF YOU AREN’T ELEIGLE FOR STUDENT DISCOUNT

Note: As mentioned above, you cannot combine your student discount with any other discount, including the AdiClub 15% off discount.

There Are Some Brand Exclusions

Unfortunately you CANNOT use your discount towards any sale or clearance Adidas products.

Adidas Caps the Discount at $1,000 per Transaction

The maximum discount, per transaction, is $1,000.

Although there is a cap on how much you can save, you would have to buy tons of merchandise in order to reach that $1,000 limit.

Here’s the Costco Furniture Warranty (HINT: It’s Like Really Good)

Furniture is expensive, no matter where you shop, and furniture at Costco is no different. But what if you purchase furniture from Costco and later decide it doesn’t fit in your space or you simply don’t like it? Or what if you spill red wine on it? Luckily, Costco has a rather generous furniture warranty and return policy for customers. Read on to discover everything you need to know about Costco’s furniture warranty.

Here's the Costco Furniture Warranty (HINT: It's Like Really Good)

What is the Costco Furniture Warranty/Return Policy?

Unlimited.

Costco’s furniture warranty is actually not really a warranty at all, it’s just a REALLY good return policy.

They give you an unlimited number days after the time of purchase for a full refund or exchange on furniture items.

Costco will also accept defective furniture items from defective material or workmanship at ANY time.

Is It The Same for Online Furniture Orders?

Yes.

The same Costco return policy also covers online furniture orders made on Costco.com.

And, furniture pieces with defects can also be returned at any time.

How Do I Return Large Furniture Items Delivered to My Home?

You can return large furniture items by scheduling a pickup of the product to be returned.

To schedule your large furniture piece to be picked up, follow these simple steps:

1. Sign-In or Register for a Costco account.

2. Select Orders & Returns.

3. Choose the Return Items button next to the large furniture item you wish to return and follow the provided prompts to complete your return request.

4. You’ll then be sent an email with additional instructions to schedule a pickup at your home.

Should I Refuse Delivery if an Item is Damaged?

Yes.

If you made an online furniture purchase through Costco.com, you can refuse an item upon delivery if there is damage.

Also, it’s worth noting that Costco’s return policy states customers can refuse products where the item or box shows signs of damage.

So be sure to check the item carefully before signing off on the furniture delivery as it will save you the MAJOR headache of having to return it at a later date.

Can I Return Furniture If I Simply Don’t Like It?

Yes.

You absolutely can return furniture if you don’t like it….at ANY TIME.

Because Costco has a “100% satisfaction guarantee” you can return an item for any reason and they’ll take it back.

But What If I Spill Red Wine on My Couch?

Not a problem.

You’ll probably get some dirty looks from Costco employees if you try to do this, but I’m sure it’s been done before.

Expect to have to wait for a manager’s approval on this type of return.

It’s worth noting that you could run into a manager who will NOT allow your return, in which case, you’ll have to contact the Costco Corporate office.

Can I Return a Couch that My Dog Peed On?

Surprisingly, yes.

This includes damage caused by pets, everyday wear and tear, damage from natural disasters, or other damage caused by the buyer.

I hit up Costco Live Chat and asked this question specifically and was told, “I have seen crazier things be returned.”

Seems like a crazy policy and one that would be easily abused.

Update: Women Returning 2.5 Year Old Couch Sparks Debate

A Seattle women recently bragged on TikTok about returning a couch to Costco that was almost 3 years old and the Internet went wild.

She said she just didn’t like the color anymore and built up the gumption to return it.

She said it was little intimidating as everyone was staring at her, but they verified the purchase in their system and gave her a full refund for the price she paid.

It’s my take that Costco’s return policy is not designed for people who simply decide they don’t “like it” two years later, after they’ve happily lived on it with their kids and pets.

It’s designed to help you out if the item prematurely breaks or wears down before it should.

I feel like the “couch lady” took advantage of a loophole in the system, and if this trend continues, I’m not sure how Costco can keep such a liberal return policy.

Time will tell on this one.

Ask the Reader: Have you ever returned furniture to Costco that you simply didn’t like or was damaged by something you did? Let me know if you met any resistance from Costco.

Know the Costco Employee Dress Code Before Your Interview

Updated August 29, 2024 by Kyle James

Costco is by no means a fancy or super luxurious big box store. With that being said, Costco is still a store that requires its employees to be professional, this includes what employees wear to work. If you’re thinking about applying, or about to start your job, understanding the Costco dress code is important. The last thing you want to do is get in trouble for what you wear to work. Read on to learn everything you need to know about their current dress code.

What's the Costco Dress Code? Here's EVERYTHING You Need to Know

What Exactly is the Costco Dress Code?

Although Costco doesn’t really have a clear-cut dress code policy other than “clean, professional, and neat”, in general, Costco’s dress code is flexible.

Here’s a breakdown of what we could find about the Costco dress code online.

– You cannot wear anything with holes, rips, tears, or fringes.

– No tank tops or sleeveless shirts.

– No t-shirts, hoodies, or any shirt without a collar.

– No workout clothing.

– No shorts, scandals, or short skirts.

In general, employees generally wear some sort of collared shirt with slacks or jeans.

It’s also important to note that some dress codes may vary slightly based on the Costco management in your area.

Will Costco Make Me Wear a “Uniform”?

No.

Costco does not have a specific “uniform” that employees must wear each shift.

Costco’s dress code policy is rather lenient in what you can wear given it’s professional and not inappropriate.

Can I Wear Jeans?

Yes.

You can indeed wear jeans to work as a Costco employee and the DON’T have to be Kirkland jeans.

Can I Wear a T-Shirt or Do I Need a Collar?

It appears that Costco prefers their employees to wear a collared shirt.

However, you may be able to get away with wearing a plain t-shirt depending on what Costco location you work at.

Can I Wear a Hat to Work?

Employees are only allowed to wear hats that have the Costco Wholesale logo on it.

Employees can also wear any religious head coverings, like a hijab or turban to work.

Can Parking Lot Attendants Wear Hats?

Yes.

Costco parking lot attendants can wear hats as long as it’s a Costco Wholesale hat.

The hat also cannot be worn backward.

This one varies by location as I’ve seen lot attendant wear floppy hats (without a Costco logo) on hot summer days in my town.

Does Management at Costco Dress Differently?

If you are a manager at Costco, it doesn’t seem like you need to dress any differently than other warehouse employees.

However, if you’re a corporate Costco employee, you must wear more business casual clothing.

Can I Wear Vans or Do I Need Nicer Shoes?

Yes.

You can wear Vans or any other more comfortable shoe or sneaker.

You can also wear nicer shoes or dress shoes if you want, but this is not required.

What If My Nose or Lip is Pierced?

You can wear a nose or lip piercing most likely at most Costco locations.

However, dress code rules may vary by location.

If you work in the food section you’ll likely be expected to remove piercings while at work.

What If I Have a Big Tattoo on My Neck?

Visible tattoos, like having a big neck tattoo, and whether you are allowed to show your tattoo varies by location.

For the most part, as long as your tattoo is not disturbing or inappropriate in any way, your tattoo should not be an issue.

Can I Have Tattoos Showing on My Forearm?

Yes.

Again, for the most part, showing tattoos on your forearm is fine; however, this MAY vary based on location.

While tattoos are becoming more mainstream these days, it’s important to remember that some Costco managers are stricter than others when it comes to body ink.

That being said, as long as your tattoos are not offensive or inappropriate in any way, you shouldn’t have any issues.

Can I Have Mohawk or Crazy Haircut?

For the most part yes, you can have a mohawk or “crazy” haircut given it’s within the standards of being clean and professional.

Because Costco’s dress code policies range based on location, consider checking with your manager first if you’re considering doing a major haircut change that you think may go against their policy.

What Should I Wear to My Costco Interview?

Consider dressing business casual to your Costco interview.

This includes slacks and a polo shirt for men, and dress pants and a blouse for women.
