Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure	Note 2—Acquisition of Innovel On March 17, 2020, the Company acquired Innovel Solutions for $998, using existing cash and cash equivalents. Innovel (now known as Costco Wholesale Logistics or CWL) provides final-mile delivery, installation and white-glove capabilities for big and bulky products across the United States and Puerto Rico. Its financial results have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. At February 14, 2021, the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete, pending determination of the final purchase price, working capital adjustments, the fair value of operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities, and other assumed obligations. The net purchase price of $998 was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets of $286 and liabilities assumed of $237, based on their preliminary fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining unallocated net purchase price of $949 was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the acquisition's benefits to the Company, which include the ability to serve more members and improve delivery times, enabling growth in certain segments of our U.S. e-commerce operations. The Company assigned this goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes, to reporting units within the U.S. segment. The changes to the purchase price allocation originally recorded in the third quarter of 2020 were not material. The provisional period ends and the final accounting will be complete in the third quarter of 2021.
