Typically they will, for example, sell detergent in boxes of 5 kg instead

(The wholesale=* tag is for wholesalers.)


Big box refers to the building form factor.  Costco is a big box.  But so
is Lowe's, Walmart Supercenter, Home Depot, Office Depot, Dick's, Staples,
Kohl's, Sam's Club, Best Buy, Petco, Target…pretty much anything that would
occupy an anchor slot or larger if it were in a traditional mall and favors
generic, big, boxy, windowless buildings.
