Split Inventory Responsibilities
When you break down a Costco multipack:
-
You own all remaining units until sold
-
All split items are managed offline, not added to your online store
-
If you don’t have enough leftover units, you must purchase a new multipack
-
You will use new inventory to fulfill the order and store the remaining units
-
Customers may see small adjustments (credits or add-ons) on their final invoice
-
You must apply markup responsibly and maintain accurate invoicing
This structure ensures the online database stays clean and consistent across all operator platforms.
Markup Guidelines for Split Items
Split-item fulfillment involves labor, handling, and inventory risk.
Recommended pricing:
-
30% standard markup
-
35–40% premium markup for slow movers or larger multipacks
​These rates protect your profitability while remaining fair to customers.
Local Storage & Handling Requirements
Operators offering split items must follow any local guidelines related to:
-
Home-based business operations

Storage of consumer goods

Cleanliness and safety standards
-
