Yeah, that's pretty low-down, Costco!

Costco “collected the tariff costs from consumers through elevated pricing, while simultaneously seeking refunds of the same tariff payments from the federal government,” the complaint alleged. Unless the court intervenes, “Costco stands to recover the same tariff payments twice.”

@billkimler On one hand, I think that anyone who paid tariffs should have them refunded. The tariffs were illegal and they should be refunded to every single entity that paid them.

On the other hand, I think you're right and the only way Costco can do the right thing here is to grant rebates or credits to its customers.
