What Costway does

Costway.com, Inc. is a privately held, direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer of home and lifestyle merchandise, incorporated in the United States and headquartered in Fontana, California. Founded in 2015, the company sells across 13+ country-specific storefronts spanning North America, Europe, and Oceania, marketing itself as 'Trusted by 100M+ Families' and offering an unusually broad assortment that spans furniture (living room, bedroom, dining, office, bathroom, nursery), outdoor and patio goods (dining sets, sectionals, gazebos, grills, fire pits, camping), climate control (six mini split air conditioner series ranging from 9,000 to 24,000 BTU), kitchen appliances, baby and kids products, health and wellness items, toys, and sports equipment. The product mix is a combination of unbranded value-tier commodity goods and selected sub-brands (Babyjoy, Airtural, SEERXtreme, etc.) backed by a small portfolio of registered industrial design patents on outdoor dining configurations.

The business model is overwhelmingly one-time purchase, low-average-order-value e-commerce with no subscription or recurring revenue component, supplemented by limited B2B distribution. Direct-to-consumer sales flow through Costway's owned localized websites, supported by aggressive promotional mechanics (clearance discounts of up to 80%, volume discounts such as $40 off orders over $300, and a $200 email signup incentive), seasonal event campaigns (Black Friday, Fourth of July, summer themed promotions), content marketing via a buying-guide blog, and a Facebook community. Secondary distribution is limited to a third-party retail partnership with Target in the US, a dedicated massage chair dealer program, and dropship and wholesale programs. Payments span mainstream card networks plus PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Affirm. The company employs 501–1,000 people and has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, or institutional funding; it is independently operated and self-funded, with a 2025 product recall on Babyjoy 6-in-1 high chairs being the only known regulatory action in the available record.
