Sam's Club (Shanghai Pudong)

Sam's Club Shanghai Pudong is a members-only warehouse store on Gaoke West Road in Pudong, spread over three floors of the Youyou Commercial Centre. It is the address foreign residents fall back on for bulk Western groceries, imported cheese and dairy, baking supplies, wine, large cuts of meat and household goods that are awkward to find elsewhere in the city. Individual membership costs 260 RMB a year and a business tier is 680 RMB; you cannot shop or use the delivery app without one. Bring a bag or drive, because pack sizes are genuinely warehouse-scale. Jinxiu Road station on Metro Line 7 is about a ten-minute walk, and the store's own app delivers across much of Shanghai.
