Costco has quietly introduced a "search warehouse inventory" feature on its mobile app, allowing some users to check if a product is in stock at their local store without needing to call or visit. This new feature is currently in Beta testing and is accessible via the "warehouse" option at the bottom of the app. Users can search for products by name or description in their selected store's inventory. Costco has raised its membership fees in the U.S. and Canada, impacting around 52 million memberships.
