Why should I buy from your website when you sell the same products in online marketplaces (i.e. Amazon, Dealbar)?  The short answer is you should buy where you feel most comfortable and with the most convenience for you. We list our products in online marketplaces because we want to be wherever consumers are shopping for test strips.  It's like having a downtown location and a shopping mall location, different locations with different consumers buying the same products. Since ma …

Don't hate me because I'm white!  Many manufacturers make different versions of the same test strips for different sales channels.  Often the Retail box found in national chain pharmacies are blue or yellow and larger in size.  Boxes made for Mail-order, DME, or Institutional sales channels are often white and smaller in size since they are mailed. What's the difference?  Absolutely nothing other than the outside box color and price.  For consumers who are paying ou …

Visit any online marketplace and the first thing you'll see in the Question & Answer section. Often the answer is 6+ months or long dated.While this maybe an adequate description for some, as a consumer, you should demand to know the exact expiration date you will be purchasing.  Why?  Because the shorter the expiration date, the less test strips cost.  The value of test strips expiring in 3 months is far less than those expiring in 12 months.  This is typically w …

From time to time, we like to place orders from our competition to see how we're doing.  Recently, we purchased OneTouch Verio Test Strips from Amazon.  While Amazon's customer service was excellent, the product we received was not.We shopped on Amazon, like a typical consumer, looking at merchants with good prices, good ratings, fulfillment by Amazon, and products eligible for Amazon Prime.  In addition, we looked for the product image of the product we wanted to buy, which looke …

We see it all the time. Most merchants are charging $45 while one charging $23. It may look tempting, but be careful. The explanation is usually simple: 1. The source of the test strips is unknown. 2.  The expiration date is short. 3.  The box maybe damaged. 4.  The test strips are from another country. 5.  All sales are final.  No returns. For some, this is fine.  However, for most it's a another unneeded worry when buying test strips.  Re …

We thought it would be nice to send our best customers sugar-free chocolate for Christmas as a small token of our appreciation. Reviews of the chocolate have been largely positive, although we must improve on highlighting the "sugar-free" part. For those that missed it, our apologies and we hope your family members enjoyed. The chocolate is from Jinju Chocolates and hand made locally here in Las Vegas.  Jin Caldwell, the owner of Jinju Chocolates, formerly an award winning …

We knew xeteor would be popular, but we had no idea.... We want to thank all of you for your support!  In the past few months, we've grown so much, decisions had to be made (quickly) on how to handle future growth. We wanted to ensure the great experience you've come to expect would continue.  While we loved our original Shopify store, it was limiting our ability to grow. We wanted to add more products, so we've relaunched on BigCommerce.For our returning customers1 …

While we offer 100-day returns with free return shipping, return policies for test strips vary widely online. Most reputable companies will offer a reasonable return policy with no restocking fees. Here is a list of return policies we see from online retailers selling test strips. We typically don't see legitimate retailers on eBay and therefore most sales are final. While prices are low, sellers tend to have a couple of boxes selling at a discount price. The origin of the boxes are …
