Costco will now only sell Playstation and Switch, Xbox is gone. Bad sign for their popularity.

My friend's dad owns a business (trade work, not even selling products) that has contracts with both Costco and Amazon and said the same thing. For Amazon at least, he can't send proposals or bills - everything is done through an Amazon vendor portal. And he gets paid every time he crosses a threshold, not per job.

When you're that big, you can just make everyone follow your rules.

Exactly and their portals are a fuckin disaster.

I gotta make connections work with pretty much any retailer you can name. And yeah when the biggies say jump you gotta say how high.

That being said, Costco isn't so bad. But then I don't deal with the contract stuff. Amazon does indeed suck. Costco is a bit old school but I'd rather that than dealing with Amazon's shitty AWS APIs.
