You can find lots of different products on offer at competitive prices in Costco, ranging from groceries to electronics.
So, if you want to buy a streaming device, Costco might be your first port of call. But, does Costco actually sell Rokus, Fire Sticks, Apple TVs, and Chromecasts? Here is what I found!
Does Costco Sell Rokus, Fire Sticks, Apple TVs, And Chromecasts?
Costco currently sells a select range of streaming devices, including the Roku and Apple TV. Unfortunately, Costco does not stock or sell Amazon Fire Sticks, Fire TVs, or Google Chromecasts due to competition with Amazon and Google.

Why Does Costco Not Stock All Streaming Devices?
There is speculation as to why Costco does not stock certain streaming devices.
One theory is that because Amazon and Google are such fierce competition for stores like Costco, Costco will not stock products such as Fire Sticks and Chromecasts.
Another has to do with the fact that Amazon is known for delaying the stock of Fire Sticks to physical stores.
So for large retailers like Costco and Walmart (who also don’t sell Fire Sticks), it is hard to keep a steady supply of devices available.
Where To Buy Fire Sticks & Chromecasts?
For those looking for alternative stores to buy Fire Sticks and Chromecasts, these can be purchased from Amazon.com, BestBuy, Target, Lowes, Staples, eBay, Kohls, and Office Depot.
