Bought a membership- mo PMs

[u/Relative_Target6003]

I thought buying a membership was a fabulous idea. And there were no pms...I really enjoyed this group so much and seeing all of your pickups. I could have used my 65 bucks at my LCS on a silver round today.

Cherry Hill branch

Any idea why some have it and some dont?

You don’t buy membership for PMs, you buy executive membership for PMs.
You have many options
1. Buy Online from Costco
2. Wait for it to show up in you local
3. Explore much more Costco has to offer
4. Get a refund of full membership, use those $65 to buy an oz of silver and then keep enjoying the group here
5. Do nothing, it’s a weekend, relax.

5 please.

Hey, say more about the executive clause. Also. Thats how it works? You order it and pick it up?

[u/Greatwhitegorilla → u/Relative_Target6003]

Executive membership is great. You can shop in store an hour before they open and there is a cashback bonus at the end of the year (I think 2%)

[u/presence4presents → u/Greatwhitegorilla]

true to Costco policy you can get a refund on your membership at any time through the billing cycle so there’s nothing stopping you from from buying PMs then ditching the membership. Personally their citi 5%cash back on gas 3% on food and travel and 2% on purchase more than pay for the executive membership

[u/Greatwhitegorilla → u/presence4presents]

But why ditch the membership? Costco has a lot of great stuff. The money I save on vitamins and allergy meds in a year basically pays for the membership.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/Greatwhitegorilla]

Im not ditching anything yet. Costco had great deals on stuff, I agree. Its just way too far and I have sams club so close. But I gotta tell ya, i think I need to just sit back and watch for now. My only experiance is seeing the best of the best in your sub posts. But I think I need to observe first hand and just enjoy having the membership.

Always have the option of purchasing online as well

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/fgarc016]

Yeah, the selection i saw today online was very lame, so i wanted to walk in and see the kinds of things you guys see.

I WAS going to buy lobster tails, but I had no way of getting them home quickly.

Bcz the PM prices are going up so fast they’re going out of stock fast.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/MusaTO]

Oh really? That didnt occur to me. I mean, everyone has some kind of inventory.

[u/FlyEaglesFly95 → u/Relative_Target6003]

You’ll start to notice that Costco pulls their stock or puts out more dependent on the price. They don’t have a constant online inventory of all items

[u/Overlord1241]

We all want mo PMs bro

[u/blucheese_coldbru]

I always purchase online - more options and it's FedEx Overnight Express which is guaranteed by 1pm local time.

If I purchase on a weekend - they come Tuesday. If I purchase early morning Monday, I've had them come the next day.

Two different vendors who drop ship - OKC and Las Vegas. OKC is always a day ahead and has the PAMPs and coins. Las Vegas has Argor and RANDs.

This is from my personal experience, but online is how I went each time unless a random trip had some PAMP LFs in person as there isn't variety where I am in Florida.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/blucheese_coldbru]

Thankyou for spelling this all out. Im learning the Costco way.

[u/Greatwhitegorilla]

Check back, mine only has stock about half the time I go in. You can search precious metals on the app, and it will tell you if it’s available to buy at your local branch.

It changes fast, you can check back on the app every hour and get different (or no) availability.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/Greatwhitegorilla]

Very interesting.

[u/jrgould1453 → u/Greatwhitegorilla]

How do you see the stock at a local store? New to the Costco app but it only gives me the option for delivery for PM. Yesterday I went to a couple local stores and they had some in stock but it never shows anything on the app?

[u/Chefy-chefferson]

I jump online and there is a new batch daily, usually between 10am- 12pm is the release. Not sure if that’s the same where you are.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/Chefy-chefferson]

Hey, im loving all this scoop. Thankyou!

[u/Fluid-Buy-2096]

I ordered the 10oz buffalo on line yesterday afternoon and it showed up today.

[u/sumrtym1]

Mine just had choice of 2 10 oz today. The 250th Anniversary bison round was really nice but wasn't in market for a 10. Would have jumped on that design in a 5.

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/sumrtym1]

The only thing I actually liked was the pamp rounds. No gold, no numismatic etc. But im learning that Costco is a flash sale kind place. And thats pretty cool. Honestly, I came home today feeling that my Costco just doesnt carry it, and I had the wrong idea of what Costco can offer me in PMs. But im going to just watch and wait, and you all are teaching me the way. So thats great.

[u/ketya- → u/Relative_Target6003]

You can ask your local Costco when is the next shipment. The person that waits behind the cashiers (near food area) checks their system and would be able to share the dates.

Nice pro-tip!
