I work for Costco and no we don't have warehouses in China main land though we do in Taiwan. Costco works tirelessly to bring the "highest quality" merchandise for the best price possible and yes we do have a lot of stuff from china. But our optics are mostly Steiner. Enough of the pitch but just trying to re-enforce the position that there are only two roads we as optic enthusiast can follow.... One is the pursuit of optical excellence and the other is the pursuit of lower cost bins...fyi - all the retail studies on google are years old and show Costco as #9. We have grown in both size and sales and now own the #6 spot. By the way we do an incredible amount of charity work and do more for our employees in the form of salaries and benefits than any other retailer on the planet!</blockquote>
