shanipaqman Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Just checking to see if anyone knows why all the Sams Club stores in SE Michigan are out of Skittles save one store? Are they no longer carrying them and is this happening in other states? Wondering if a repackaging is on the way or if they are planning to discontinue. My store says it is an active item but none on order. Very strange. If they no longer carry them, what is the cheapest way to buy them after Sams? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumball guy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Did you talk to the store manager because that seems a lousy answer even for their inept management staff. If that is the best you can do at the store then call Sam's customer service number (via their website) and ask them why you can't get them in your store any longer. If they quit carrying them at your local stores you may have to go to direct delivery from them or search for another local wholesaler. BJ's or Costco are also options.

gumball guy Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 You can also try Vistar. I have never used them but I know some vendors on here do. There is one in Belleville, Michigan and 2 just outside Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 If you have a plus membership, find a store that still carries them and make that your home store. Then you can place an order and have them ship it to you free. I just did it with Mike and ikes from a sore in Pennsylvania and I'm in Cincinnati, oh.

Yea, sams club plus membership gives you free shipping to your house on alot of their items. I've used it 3-4 times now. Just recently on the Mike and ikes which aren't carried anywhere around me. Also got cases of chips delivered that they only carry online. On some things though, you'll need to change your home store though. They don't carry Mike and ikes around me, so somebody in Pennsylvania necked they still had them, so I set that as my store and bought them. Then shipped to my house. PITA, but I was able to get what I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes AMD, the only ones I believe that will carry them is the business centers. Im having to pay a little more and go through vistar. No matter if a Sam's had them or not I couldn't get them shipped through Sam's. Not skittles anyway. They may just be changing the bag? Idk, but someone will carry them.

Snickers Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Skittles I’m sure are not being discontinued . Likely a manufacturer issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodney69 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Skittles are discontinued through costco. Mike and ike will be soon. Just Born as of the first of the year raised their prices to distributors and minimums for shipping direct. Vistar and other places have already raised their prices to show it, but it'll soon be high everywhere. Mike and ike will be about 25-40% higher than it currently is.
