sherlock Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Been going to SAMS for years and never come across Runts. Came across them today. They only had about 10 boxes. At $34.99 they beat Quill even with Quill's promo coupons....no shipping. Anybody else seeing Runts at SAMS? It'd be nice if they continued to stock Runts. But, I almost wondered if someone hadn't ordered 10 boxes ship-to-store and then not purchased after all...since I'd never seen them at my local store.

shepherdsflock Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've never seen them in my Sam's store, but I think I've seen them on their website as something they can order by request. Maybe they had to order a pallet of them to fill somebody's order, and just put the remaining pallet out on the floor for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc-vending Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have even requested them, but never seen them before at the sams club I go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadmill Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 About 3 years ago they used to sell them in bags. Then they discontinued them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Vending Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You can go to the service counter and order lots of different candy and gum and it is shipped to the club at no cost. You can also go online and have it shipped to your house for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jax Snacks Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anybody else seeing Runts at SAMS? It'd be nice if they continued to stock Runts. But, I almost wondered if someone hadn't ordered 10 boxes ship-to-store and then not purchased after all...since I'd never seen them at my local store. One store here had them a few years ago. About 12 cases. Most likely a special order that a customer returned. They were in a plain brown cardboard box. Sam requires all standard-stocked products to be in a snazzy colorful packaging in order to be on the shelf (Concord told me that once). It was good while it lasted, but never seen them since in that store or any other store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowcountry Dan Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have never seen them at Sam's. I have never had much luck with runts. I used to order them online. It takes a long time to go through 25 lbs of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a long time to go through 25 lbs of them. That's my experience, too. Some of my 1800 machines were stocked with them when I bought the route, and they didn't sell very well. I ended up bagging up all the unsold product and gave them to a friend who really likes runts. He'll probably make his dentist rich by the time he eats all those Runts! Tooth decay city!

sherlock Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hmmm...maybe I'll go snag up all they have at my local store. The price is great, no shipping, and I have some locations that do very well with them. Thanks for the replies everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always prefer buying from a store to buying onilne. You normally have have to buy a huge amount online and pay shipping, which is usually very steep.

sweetstop Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I just ordered from quill best price I could find 30# 47.99 w/free shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I just ordered from quill best price I could find 30# 47.99 w/free shipping Yeah, quill is my regular supplier of Runts....but I won't need them for a while if I can get my hands on all the Runts at my local SAM's right now. I have paid as little as $35-$37 per box before at Quill. But, that only happens when I buy at least 3 boxes at once AND they're running a $20 discount for orders over $100 AND they are offering free shipping. So, the planets need to align at Quill just to get Runts down to the price they are currently offering at my Sam's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoinOpman Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 $35 sounds pretty cheap, what's the weight of the box as well as the dimensions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 $35 sounds pretty cheap, what's the weight of the box as well as the dimensions? 30lbs box and the box is the same size/look as the ones from Quill. In fact, I have a box from Quill right on top of the runts from Sam's and there is no difference at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerVendor Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ordering from Quill is the way to go for me. And yes, they do last a while. They either sell like hotcakes at a location or none at all. And they do make the dentists richer. I cracked a crown and ending up getting a root canal to boot. About a $2,000 handful of runts. I really hate them now, and jaw breakers. Old teeth = rich dentist. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
