Discount Retailer Water Deliveries

Costco's Bottled Water Delivery Service Unlocks Savings

— February 2, 2021 — Business
American discount retailer Costco is making high quality bottled water more accessible at a lower price point with a new bottled water delivery service.

The service works by having customers select their bottled water of choice in the option of 3 to 5 gallon sizes. Customers can pick from spring water options at $7.49 per bottle or purified water at $6.49 per bottle. The bottles are then combined with an accompanying hot or cold water dispenser while a convenient delivery date can also be arranged at checkout.

This bottled water delivery service is accessible to all Costco members and aims to unlock "exclusive prices and options that make home and office delivery easy and affordable." While the retailer is synonymous with convenience, this new service goes one step beyond with its affordable model and eco refillable bottles that help reduce bottled water waste.
