What bar setup does Costco require for promotional events, and where can you source it cost-effectively?

Costco has specific requirements for in-store promotional bar setups and typically rejects standard pop-up display stands. Members report that sourcing compliant setups can be challenging, but **Display Wizard** (specifically their Finesse Portable Exhibition Counter range: https://www.displaywizard.co.uk/pop-up-counters/finesse-portable-exhibition-counter/ and https://www.displaywizard.co.uk/finesse-promotional-counter/) has been approved by Costco and used successfully for extended campaigns (one member ran 155 days without issue). Some Costco representatives may initially push back, so persistence in discussing your setup choice with the buyer is worthwhile. Some vendors resort to having local handy people custom-build setups, but this is not the only option. Members recommend pushing back with evidence of approved solutions rather than accepting that custom local builds are mandatory. Note: Costco contacts rotate between team members managing approvals, so you may be communicating with different people on email.
