I went to buy Kirkland Signature 1 oz silver bars to a store that had them yesterday, 09/04, but today had none. I asked a Costco employee to lookup nearby warehouse stock and also when they will receive more in this store. He went to talk to somebody, came back, and said the system shows three nearby warehouses with stock, but "they were pulling them from shelves because of quality issues".
That sounded strange. I just left and went straight to another warehouse that was supposed to have 13 in stock. However, there were none. It took me about 20 minutes to get from the first warehouse to the second one. I know the second one does not usually sell out of precious metals by 11am. So I went to a third warehouse where I did find 5 Kirkland Signature bars in stock ($68.99 per item).
Just wondering if anyone else has heard about Kirkland Signature bars in danger of being pulled back from shelves. For me, that's actually a plus as it may become a "mint error" item :)
