How Do I Sell My Test Strips?

Answer

Selling your test strips is very straightforward. First, gather the boxes you wanted to sell and get an instant quote for their condition and expiration date on our website. Since every manufacturer, expiration date and box condition is different, each has a different value.

Next, using a soft black felt marker, carefully cover your personal information if you have labels on your boxes. This is optional as we discard all prescription labels regardless and never share your personal information.

And lastly, pack your test strip boxes in a sturdy box (not a padded envelope) and send them to us.

You can select to ship your boxes using your own postage and be reimbursed for your postage (up to $8 for 11 boxes or fewer or up to $25 for 12 boxes or more) or choose to receive a pre-paid label emailed to you that you can print and tape to your box and drop off at any post office.

Our mailing address (and your return address) is on the 2nd page of the packing slip you print after getting your qoute and then put your packing slip inside your box so we can match your shipment with your quote and process and pay you timely. If you don’t have a printer, just write your name, email address and order number on a piece of paper and put inside your box. Then ship your box and wait for us to receive them. We normally process payment the same day or next day or latest within 24 business hours of receiving your boxes.

Is It Legal To Sell Test Strips?

Answer

Yes, diabetic test strips are normally sold over the counter or provided by an insurance company without a prescription. The only strips that cannot be sold are boxes that mention DMEMedicaid or Medicare on them. All other supplies including test strips, lancets, insulin pumps and reservoirs, as long as they are brand new, not expired and sealed, are ok to sell.

How Should I Ship My Boxes?

Answer

First, place the diabetic test strip or supplies boxes in a firm/sturdy shipping box and we suggest adding padding/packing materials around them to avoid damage in shipping. For example, crumpled newspaper, bubble wrap, air pockets or shipping peanuts. We recommend shipping the boxes via USPS First Class (for fewer boxes and is least expensive), USPS Priority (for 12 boxes or more), UPS Ground or Fedex Ground or the easiest way is to request a pre paid shipping label during checkout and then just tape it to your shipping box and drop off at any US Post Office or mail center near you.

Do You Buy Damaged Boxes?

Answer

Yes and no. If the test strips box is torn and/or seal is broken, no, we don’t buy those. If the boxes are slightly dented on one corner, yes, however please select the appropriate condition to get an accurate quote and avoid any price adjustments when we receive them.

Can I Remove The Labels From My Boxes?

Answer

We don’t recommend removing the labels from your boxes to avoid damage or rips unless the labels peel off effortlessly without damage to the boxes. You may carefully cross out your personal information with a marker avoiding any marks on the box if you prefer but it is not necessary. We remove labels from all boxes we receive with professional equipment to make sure the boxes are not damaged and safely discard all labels and personal information.

How Long Does It Take To Get Paid?

We normally process and pay all boxes the following business day (M-F) after we receive them, but please allow up to 2 business days.

Zelle takes just minutes (if you aren’t registered with Zelle, it takes just minutes and up to 1 business day for your first payment) and is available to most anyone with a US based bank account. There are no costs to register or receive payment with Zelle.

Cash App takes just minutes. You will receive a notification from each service when you receive payment.

Check payments are processed online and then mailed regular USPS mail within 1 business day after processing to you directly from our bank, Wells Fargo. Depending on your location, Wells Fargo recommends allowing 7-10 business days (not including weekends and holidays) to arrive. (Update: USPS has annouced it is delaying all First Class mail starting late 2021. Please allow a few extra days if you do not receive your check.)

How Much Are Diabetic Test Strips Worth?

Answer

Several factors determine the value of test strips when selling. Market demand (how well test strips sell and how many are available) is the largest factor. Condition and expiration date of your supplies are the other factors. Mint condition with no damage gives you the most value for your supplies. Dings, dents, tears and markings all reduce the value of test strips or insulin supplies. The further out the expiration date is, the more valuable the boxes are. Expired and opened supplies are worthless for resale.

What Type Of Box Should I Use To Send My Supplies To You?

Answer

We recommend ONLY using a sturdy, cardboard box to send your supplies with plenty of padding materials to avoid shifting or damage. Using envelopes will damage your supplies 99% of the time and we would either pay you less or nothing at all. ALSO, if you receive a FIRST CLASS pre-paid shipping label from us, DO NOT send your supplies in a PRIORITY MAIL box provided by USPS. They will NOT be delivered and will be returned to you. To avoid delays, please use a plain, unmarked box if you are sending by FIRST CLASS.

I Did Not Receive My Bonus

Answer

Please note that all bonuses require a $100 minimum submission of supplies and the code must be entered right above your name in the ‘If you have a coupon, please enter it here’ field during checkout.

Do I Have To Include My Packing Slip?

Answer

We strongly encourage you to print your packing slip and include it in your box along with your supplies. Your packing slip can be downloaded on the confirmation page right after you submit your supplies (under the heading: Packing Slip) and alternatively can be accessed in your My Account page, just click on your order number and it will also be located right under the heading: Packing Slip for your convenience.

This allows us to process your supplies and payment in a timely manner. Please note: processing and payments on shipments received without packing slips will be delayed. Thank you for your cooperation to allow us to process your supplies and payments in a timely manner!
