Costco has Kirkland brand "ultra soft" TP for online delivery NOW. I just ordered.

For Costco delivery it makes a difference where you are located. No T P available for delivery at Costco Orange County CA.

Not available in the Las Vegas area either.

Oh well. I checked again and now it is out of stock. I also snagged Viva paper towels a couple of weeks ago on Costcom.com before they went poofed.

This isn't online/delivery per se, but one possibility is a local restaurant/hotel/banquet facility. One of ours is selling some of their stock of paper goods and pantry staples to help continue paying their employees. Prices are fair; I'm picking up some flour, yeast, etc. this afternoon from them and they are also selling toilet paper (limit 2 rolls/transaction) though I've been able to find that at my local grocery store. I do my weekly shopping on Tuesday mornings, when selection seems good.

 

[chellej]

Or spokane......I was excited. I haven't seen tp on the shelves since early March

 

[Luanne]

I found that I can get excited about finding something online just to have it disappear a few seconds later. So while I think this thread is trying to be helpful, it's really not as supplies change minute by minute and area by area.

Just that quick, "currently unavailable".

By the way, anyone who has a septic system don't flush these "Flushable" wipes. They will really do a job on that type of system. Found out the hard way.

It is sold out at the moment (1:30 pm CST 4/11/20). I have an order on the way that I placed a week ago, very early on a Saturday morning. Someone told me that your best chance of success with this company is early in the morning.

I just went through the link and still available. I went to final order page to make sure. Ordered one for me in SC and one for mom NYC.

Are you a prime member? I am, wonder if they are limiting to Prime or region.

Yes, prime. I'll have to keep trying. They come and go so quickly it seems.

very important!!!!! These are not flushable!!!

even though they say they are. That just means they won't clog a toilet. They do not break down in sewer pipes the way that toiler paper is made to do., contributing tremendously to clogged sewers. Handle them the Mexican way. Fold them neatly and put them in a lined wastebasket conveniently situated adjacent to the toiler. (They do it that way in Mexico, and throughout Latin America because their toilet paper clogs their sewers.)

Americans Coping With the Coronavirus Are Clogging Toilets (Published 2020)

Sewage systems and toilets are backing up as consumers clean their homes with disinfectant wipes and turn to paper towels, napkins and baby wipes to cope with the lack of toilet paper.

try Costco Business for commercial grade toilet paper.

One big reason why the shortage of toilet paper continues is disruption in the toilet paper supply chain. With people staying home, the demand for commercial TP has plummeted, while the demand for residential TP has increased. Home and commercial TP are produced in different plants, and use different ingredients (commercial TP uses more recycled fiber). The takeup spools are different, and the packaging is different. So a commercial TP plant can't suddenly switch to residential TP. TP is also a low-margin business in ordinary times, so TP producers run their plants at near full capacity under normal conditions. So they haven't had a lot of extra capacity to ramp up production.

Knowing the above, I used my Costco Business account to buy commercial TP. When I placed the order none of the residential style TP was available, but commercial was, I bought two cases, so we're well stocked. The rolls have a large core, so they won't fit in conventional holder. But that's something that can be managed.

Unless Amazon is the seller I would not trust the ingredients are really what they say they are.

I've also heard not to flush the "flushables".
