\nEven tried reaching out to Aipower, but never heard back, so that was my first and last time with the brand.

\nThis was a year ago, and I tried that route, but all Costco would do is arrange for return shipping with a freight company. Despite the fact that I did not even add oil or gas to the generator, they could not use FedEx (who delivered it) due to hazard restrictions.
\n
\nI waited close to 2 weeks for the freight company to schedule a pickup date, contacted Costco again and they couldn't assist, told me to be patient. Since I was heading out of town on vacation and didn't want this sitting around, I had to get the 130lb carton loaded into my car, drive over an hour to the closest warehouse to return it myself (my warehouse didn't stock this generator, so no way to swap).
\nYeah, Costco is great for accepting returns for the most part, but this process ended up being a headache.
