Alcohol-Prep pads-don’t order, False advertising in AMZ

[ResearchCat]

I swear, with the current market, we can start a run on anything. I already pay 2x for stuff shipping to my state. I also noticed the Glucocare pen needles that are available increased in price 25% since I bought them a week ago. And the ones I have on order got delayed - again.

@wisgal64 found them and purchased them. Thanks! Front listing only lists as 200, when clicked it shows the 10ct of 200 for the price.

Sorry should have said that, it confused me at first as well

Curad is on back order.

I picked up some Dynarex pads on AMZ (2000) pads for $6 pretty good deal

Just in case any anyone is looking.

Wow! The deal you got must be out of stock now.

I’m still seeing it there

Great! Not sure why they were showing up as 200 only for new. I see them now. Thank you

@researchcat glucocare recently went through a resign. I found a new listing with a new ASIN for what i had previously purchased. (Probably to stay compliant on Amazon) The box I got yesterday says “new look” on the box, and was still priced at $9.99, while I did notice other listings had gone up to $14.99.

Edit: just looked a price is now $12.95. What a difference a day makes 🫤

@WisGal64 I bought these and it was delivered as only one box So I started a return with Amazon and they refunded me but let me keep the alcohol pads, so still a win!! Free alcohol pads!

[WisGal64]

@justagirl ohh no! Glad they let you keep the pads! Now I'm wondering what I will get, supposed to be delivered tomorrow. The advertisement says Count 10 (box of 200). In the specifications, it says 2000 pads.

[Foodstampede]

@JustAgirl Same. They are mislabeled on Amazon.
Basically anyone who orders then on Amazon will have them refunded and allowed to keep the item. I'm surprised they haven't been taken down tbh...

the ones i grabbed from costco worked great. individually wrapped and pretty compact

Here's am actual 4000 pack. I received and it seems ok. Not $6, but at $39 not bad... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB428AK?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Just picked up two from them.

[WisGal64]

I found some at Sam’s Club, 800 for 6.12 , completely forgot to look there until you mentioned Costco

[quicksilver80]

@afkar7 yep got these. work fine.

[MyB]

The Curad are a prime day deal again
400 $5.59

@Foodstampede This is actually no deal at all. I missed the 10 packs of 200 each part.

But if you have Costco membership, it's $4 for 400 even without special sales. Local CVS often sales cheaper through deals too.

Also a much cheaper way is get sterile rolled cotton or gauze pads, 70% isopropyl alcohol bottle, and make your prep pad on the fly. You reduce the trash and environmental impact from excessive packaging of individually wrapped prep pads too.

Researchers anyway are a tad guilty of adding waste through their pins and vials.

@MyB this is the same price I paid for them in April - don't fall for the "prime day deal" scams - most items are the exact same price they have always been.

STILL- A great price!
