🛑 Common Mistakes People Make When Selling Diabetic Supplies

Whether you're cleaning out a loved one’s medical cabinet or simply have extra supplies from a change in prescriptions — selling diabetic products can be a smart way to recoup value and help others. But there are some easy mistakes that can cause you to get less money or even have your items rejected.

Here’s what to avoid when selling diabetic supplies:

❌ 1. Removing Labels

Many people think peeling off a pharmacy or shipping label helps. In reality, removing labels can tear the box or leave sticky residue — which lowers the resale value or makes it unfit for resale altogether.
Tip: Leave the labels on. We’re not concerned with personal info — we’re concerned with the integrity of the box.

❌ 2. Sending Expired or Near-Expiring Products

We get it — it’s easy to lose track of dates. But if the box expires in under 6 months, it likely won’t qualify for resale.
Tip: Always check the expiration before sending. We recommend at least 6+ months from today.

❌ 3. Damaging the Box

Crushed corners, ripped flaps, water damage — even if the product inside is fine, damaged boxes are a big no-go for many buyers and pharmacies.
Tip: Store your supplies somewhere dry, cool, and safe from being squished.

❌ 4. Sending the Wrong Product

Some people send the wrong model (ex: Dexcom G6 instead of G7) or individual pods instead of factory-sealed 5- or 10-packs.
Tip: Snap a clear photo of the front and back of the box before sending — this helps us give an accurate offer.

❌ 5. Forgetting Insurance Status

If the supplies were recently covered by insurance or still part of an active prescription — they cannot legally be resold.
Tip: Only sell items that are fully paid for or no longer in use.

❌ 6. Not Asking Questions

Unsure if something qualifies? Many people throw away valuable items simply because they didn’t ask.
Tip: Text us a photo. We’ll let you know right away if it's eligible — no pressure, no judgment.
