How to Sell Diabetic Test Strips: Step-by-Step Guide

Selling your unused diabetic test strips is easier than you might think. Here's a complete step-by-step guide for first-time sellers.

Step 1: Check What You Have

Before anything else, gather your supplies and check:

• Are the boxes sealed and unopened?
• What is the expiration date? (Look on the side or bottom of the box)
• Are all labels and barcodes intact?
• Were they purchased with your own money or private insurance (not Medicare/Medicaid)?

If yes to all of the above, you're ready to sell.

Step 2: Get Your Instant Quote

Go to the Surplus Rx quote calculator. Select your brand, product, and expiration range. You'll see your estimated payout immediately — no waiting, no forms.

Step 3: Submit Your Order

Once you've confirmed your items and payout, fill out your shipping and payment details. We accept Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or check.

Step 4: Ship for Free

We'll email you a prepaid USPS Priority Mail shipping label within minutes of your submission. Print it at home, or go to any USPS location and they can print it from a QR code on your phone.

Pack your supplies securely in a box (the original shipping box works great), attach the label, and drop it off.

Step 5: Get Paid

Once we receive and verify your package, we send payment the same day — usually within a few hours of receipt. Zelle is the fastest option.

Tips for a Smooth Sale

• Don't remove any labels or stickers from boxes
• Pack carefully to prevent damage in transit
• Ship quickly after receiving your label — labels typically expire in 30 days
• Track your shipment using the USPS tracking number on your label
