Has anyone tried to return a Costco plant due to pests? I have a massive and beautiful calathea has mealy bugs that just won’t quit. I’ve done everything in my power and I am about to call it. I got it at Costco, would they take it back because it has pests?

Costco has an excellent return policy, they will def take it back.

I suppose that would depend on how long you've had it.

I’ve seen Costco take back dead plants, rotten fruit, etc. they should definitely take it back!

They take back dead Christmas trees after Christmas. You’re fine lol

Yes. You can return anything to Costco.
