I am not convinced @Bonsai Nut thinks this is a good thing. ?

I love costco. there is no better store.
I'd skip this purchase but like that they are selling it! even comes with liquid fert that they will be able to use on their next tree after this one dies!

I assume online. They just sent it to my email as their weekly special
Talk about "click-bait". The title of their email was "Offers Ending Today + NEW Items at Costco.com including INSTANT POT!".
I have no idea what the "instant pot" referred to, LOL... but I clicked the link to see what was going on
Note the instructions - that the juniper doesn't ship in full bloom, and is suitable for growing indoors. Sigh.

Yeah! If it does and can just keep returning.
That is actually a fancy pressure cooker/crock pot.

If it dies*

When it dies, you can probably take it back for a refund and then drown your sorrows in a $5 rotisserie chicken!

Truth is the sad part is that it's suitable for indoors, and the juniper is not in full bloom it says. Bummer.
Beyond that, any green thumber should keep it alive, but you can get multiples on eBay for the same price.

I thought that image looked familiar... costco is giving a discount, at least:

Pretty sure I bought my Alpha Procumbens at Lowes 18 years ago or so.
It did have the pebbles glued to the soil. It lives

I don't think there is going to be a groundswell of new bonsai enthusiasts from this program, but it does remind me of an anecdote...
Every time Disney comes out with a major new picture featuring a domesticated animal, there is huge increase in interest in that animal as a pet. In some cases it is just amusing, in others it can be tragic - like 101 Dalmations and how it increased demand for a breed that isn't always the best family breed. When Disney was getting ready to release the first "Finding Nemo" movie, aquarium stores prepared for a dramatic increase in interest in marine aquariums. Unfortunately, marine aquariums are difficult to maintain, and aren't necessarily the best gift for young children.

Yep, I remember when The Force Awakens came out and I suddenly wanted a Daisy Ridley for Christmas...
