Apparently there are quality control issues. I still have 3 boxes I bought in 2020, so I'm all set, as price has increased as well.

I'm close to going through the fourth of four 500-count boxes purchased 5 years ago. I ordered two 750-count boxes today.

I bought four boxes of Q-Tips from Amazon six months ago and the cotton falls off every stick--every single swab. After using from all four, I tossed them all. The boxes are printed very blue with sharp texts whereas the Costco boxes are faded with softer texts. I don't know if that batch I got was all counterfeit.

The quality went down hill on these. The cotton is half what it used to be and falls off. And the sticks bend with the slightest pressure.

Cheaper at Costco. Currently $9.99 and you get 1875 in the 3 pack.

I was hoping the Q-tip people made their original version for Costco members, but sadly they did not. They are the same crappy new version, where the cotton is half what it used to be and falls off. And the sticks bend with the slightest bit of pressure.
