Here's a thread you can see the pros and cons of from people who ordered coretec from costco: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5978912/are-you-happy-with-coretec-calypso-oak

Basically nice colors/feel, but someone else complained about noises while walking over.

If you want some price or visual comparisons, here's a laminate series that I have worked with quite a bit as an installer, that i can answer more specific questions if you have any.

Thank you. I was hoping to get information about purchasing through Costco instead of through other companies. Such as was the price competitive, did they have their own installers, how was the installation, does Costco stand behind the product and the installation?

gotcha, here are some links that may be useful then:

There's a mixed bag of responses in there that you can dig deeper through. The warranty like you mentioned might be something you would bring up directly to costco or their local rep to get 100% confirmation. In the first post you will see that there is a discussion between mohawk and "mohawk home", which is the licensed brand sold through costco and a question of whether or not mohawk themselves will cover it. I would never buy a flooring product if the manufacturer did not 100% back it.

In terms on installers, this comment sums it up well "Costco, Lowe's, Home Depot are all the same. They don't actually have installers on the payroll. They have a list of vendors that they use based on an agreed price. Some are good, some are not. You get what you pay for." You can expect some sort of brokerage fee added to your cost it looks like going through them.

For that site that I linked in my previous comment, the price is very competitive with a flat shipping cost. It's a international brand so you have a lengthy warranty backed by that company - all that would be left would be to pick a local contractor to install it.

Thank you so much! I agree with you 100% of ensuring their is a manufacturer warranty.
