Costco Canada Liquidation Auctions

Once you are an approved buyer on Costco Liquidation Auctions Canada, you can go to any auction page and enter the highest amount that you are willing to pay. Enter the amount in the white box to the right of "My Maximum Bid". Below, you will see the minimum allowable bid amount. Once the amount has been entered, click the "Bid Now" button. Please note the message near the top of the page, which indicates if your bid is high enough to become the current high bid. If not, you may wish to increase your bid. For each bid you enter, you will receive an email confirmation that your bid was successfully placed.

The condition of merchandise can vary. Please view the auction page for any information provided, or visit our Conditions page for details on each condition type.

If a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes of an auction, the auction end time will extend for an additional 3 minutes. This is called "Popcorn Bidding" and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning an auction by extending the end time of the auction if a last minute bid is placed. Popcorn Bidding is used to simulate a live auction and prevents other bidders from "sniping" an auction at the last second.

All bids placed on Costco Liquidation Auctions Canada act as "proxy" bids. You can bid the highest amount you are willing to bid and allow the system to manage the bidding for you. The Current Bid displayed on each auction is equivalent to the second highest bidder's bid, plus one bid increment (CA$25). If the high bidder has placed a higher bid, it will not display. This allows bidders to know that if they place a proxy bid, they could still win the auction for any amount below or at their maximum bid.

Example: If you find an item that you are interested in that is currently at CA$1,000 without any bids and choose to bid CA$5,000, you will be winning the auction at CA$1,000. If another bidder places a bid for CA$1,100, you will be winning the auction at CA$1,125, one increment higher. The system will continue to automatically outbid other bidders on your half, but will never exceed your proxy bid of CA$5,000.

All merchandise sold on Costco Liquidation Auctions Canada is in auction format only. If you only want to place one bid, you can always place a proxy bid.

Please remember that every bid on B-Stock operated marketplaces is a binding contract. You are agreeing to buy the lot at the price you indicate should you ultimately be the high bidder. Bids may not be canceled once submitted. If you accidentally enter a wrong bid amount (for example, you entered CA$1000 instead of CA$100) you can click on the Cancel link within the bid confirmation pop-up window to change your bid amount prior to submission. Changing your mind does not qualify as accidentally entering a wrong bid amount.

Your bids affect how other users bid within the auction and the auction's final selling price. We provide ample opportunity for you to check and double-check your bid before submitting, so requests to cancel bids will most likely result in the suspension of your account.

A record of all bids is kept on file. If a current winning bid is disqualified in an auction for any reason, B-Stock will restore the next highest non-winning bid to winning status. This decision is made at the sole discretion of B-Stock Solutions.

Merchandise may be displayed in its current condition, or with a stock image. If it is unclear in any way, contact us prior to bidding.

Merchandise cannot be inspected prior to bidding. All available information is detailed on the auction page.

In order to win an auction, you need to bid a higher amount than the current high bidder. If both you and another buyer placed maximum bids of CA$1,000, but the other bidder placed their bid before yours, they will win the auction.

At the close of the auction, the winning bidder is notified by email. This will also show up as an order on the "Orders" page under "My Dashboard".

All auctions must be paid by wire transfer, within 2 business days of auction close. Wire instructions will be included in your "Bid Won" email and on your Orders page after winning each auction. If you are unfamiliar with sending a wire, you can do it easily from your bank (usually for a small fee that varies by bank). Many banks allow you to send wires via their website. Ask your bank for details. Wire transfer confirmation may take up to 24 hours.

Please include the flat rate shipping cost displayed on the auction page and your Bid Won notification, in your total payment. B-Stock collects payment on behalf of Costco Wholesale, and we will notify Costco Wholesale once your order has been paid for.

Please contact [email protected] or fill out the "Ask Us" form with any questions regarding payment.

Wire payment is the only form of payment accepted, as it is both instant and secure. This is the standard practice in the sale of liquidation lots. We do not accept credit cards, personal checks or Western Union for payments.

Using our B-Stock Balance feature, you can pay for orders with account credit that you may have accrued.

You may always combine multiple payments into one wire for auctions won within 2 days of each other, if you are complying with the payment policy. Please be sure to put all order numbers in the memo section of the wire.

After your payment has been confirmed, your order will be sent to the Carrier handling your shipment.

The Carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery after they pick up your shipment from the Seller’s facility.

You will receive an “Order Shipped“ notification after the shipment has left the Seller’s facility and the Carrier will contact you to schedule delivery, usually within 2 days of the notification.
