Walmart Equate Gel Hand Sanitizer 60 fl oz $5.97 West Coast + MORE depends on your zip code

I just checked shipping and it's available for these cities/zips (probably more too, these are just my standard west coast cities that I tend to check):

Reno, Nevada 89509
Sacramento, CA 94207
San Diego, CA 92014
Portland, OR 97024
Phoenix, AZ 85006
Salt Lake City, UT 84104
Boise, ID 83705
Seattle, WA 98106

Thanks! hope it ships.

After 10 minutes it was posted I tried to buy some but it sold out while in cart. 30 minutes later I tried again and somehow I managed to order one. I would try checking back every now and then. Hope it doesn't get cancelled!

I'm in San Jose, CA 95112 by the way.

My girlfriend was able to catch it back in stock almost 1hr after this was posted after it dropped from her cart. Seems to be in and out of stock. Same area.

doesn't it need to be 70% or more?

I hope it ships too. My parents need this for their dental office.

I ordered two yesterday on two separate orders, and both show shipped this morning with tracking numbers.

Quote from skyjockey : doesn't it need to be 70% or more?

Why this has to come up in EVERY hand sanitizer post is beyond me. The CDC recommends 60% or greater ethyl alcohol OR 70% or greater isopropyl alcohol for Covid-19 in healthcare settings.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2...giene.html

READ THE INFORMATION AT THE LINK above, see approximately the 4th paragraph down. It's quoted below (emphasis, bolding, added - also, ABHR = Alcohol Based Hand Rub) :

"Hygiene

Methods

CDC recommends using ABHR with greater than 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol in healthcare settings. Unless hands are visibly soiled, an alcohol-based hand rub is preferred over soap and water in most clinical situations due to evidence of better compliance compared to soap and water. Hand rubs are generally less irritating to hands and are effective in the absence of a sink. [ 1 ]"

FYI: Ethanol = Ethyl Alcohol

=======================

For those of you getting your info from social media and Youtube about the WHO approved formula . . . read below:

WHO guidelines are for folks making batches of hand sanitizer locally. The WHO literally calls this "Guide to Local Production: WHO-recommended Handrub Formulations" These instructions are for folks who are inexperienced at making hand sanitizer, so WHO wants to make sure it works and has plenty (an excess, right at the effective max) of alcohol. Further, in the instructions they talk about re-using of the small bottles to put the sanitizer in and leaving it sit before distribution to kill whatever is already in the bottles . . . this is NOT the formulation the CDC recommends for experienced manufacturers of hand sanitizer to fight Covid-19. Further, this is for use in places where there's no/limited soap and clean water available and where hands may be visibly soiled and this is all you've got to sanitize your hands. Here's the link to the WHO, bathtub gin, make-it-yourself-in-the-wild hand sanitizer instructions:

Just an FYI folks.
The sanitizer will be delayed in shipping, so plan/order accordingly. My April 15th order just shipped this morning. Other items in the order shipped immediately.

My order from a couple days ago already shipped. Supply must be there now.

My Sunday order for this stuff shipped today, 5/13 and scheduled to arrive 5/14. So pretty quick.

Also, if you want to avoid the $6 shipping, pre-order Assassin's Creed Valhalla for XB1. Worked for me. Will cancel game once I get the sanitizer.

Seems VERY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES posted here.

I've ordered SEVERAL TIMES from Walmart with different brands of hand sanitizer including Equate and Hello Bello. ALL of my hand sanitizer orders have shipped within 3 working days or less.

You are right. Seems to be very random.

Also, the Hello Bello brand hand sanitizer was available in store - super expensive - $7.99 for a small bottle. No one was buying them. The price online is lower but in my zip code - does not ship.

Slowly but surely items are coming back in stock, so if you can wait, please do wait - no point in paying covid19 prices.

Ordered this 5 days ago and it arrived yesterday.
