Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I get my test strips to you?
If you live in the Central Ohio area we can arrange to pick them up from you personally.  That way we can inspect them right then and there and if they meet our requirements we will pay you cash on the spot!  If you don't live in Central Ohio you can mail your test strip boxes to us.

Who pays for shipping?
We do! If you mail 1-12 test strip boxes we will add up to $9 to cover shipping costs, and 13-25 boxes we will add up to $18 to cover shipping costs.  If you are mailing your test strips to us please be sure to pack them securely in a sturdy box so they don't get damaged in transit.  The Post Office will give you Priority Mail boxes for free.  In most cases it's cheaper to use the regular Priority Mail boxes, not the flat rate ones since the test strip boxes are so light.

Do you want my Test Meters and Lancets?
No thank you.  I'm sorry but we no longer purchase Test Meters or Lancets.

Does CashPaidForTestStrips.com guarantee the quoted value of my test strips?
As long as the test strips are not expired (at least 180 days till expiration) and all seals are intact, you will receive the quoted cash value. We will also accept boxes that are only 90 to 180 days from expiration, but the prices paid will only be half of what you see on the chart.  Please let us know the expiration dates when you contact us.  Also, we do inspect every box, and values may be adjusted if we receive your test strips in poor condition.  We only accept factory sealed boxes of test strips.  We cannot accept boxes of strips that are less than 3 months from expiring.  We can only pay half the price you see on the chart for strips that are 3 to 6 months from expiring.  Also, prices we quote will be reduced by 25% to 50% if the boxes of strips are damaged, written on, show severe signs of wear, have areas torn off due to tape, etc. when we receive them.  Please keep this in mind.  We do not purchase Lancets or Test Meters.  We cannot accept any strips that are provided to you through Medicaid or Medicare.We will not accept any test strips that are less than 90 days from expiration.
