Customer Reviews

Not As Advertised - Michael J. Murphy on Nov 25, 2008

The test strips arrived quickly but were not in the factory sealed box pictured. The vials were delivered lose packed in a manila envelope. There is no way to tell if the vials had been previously opened. The expiration date was in 90 days.

Near Expiration - Janster on Nov 22, 2010

Order processed quickly, and quickly is the one word to describe. You need to use these as quickly as possible, the expiration date on one bottle was 2/11, the 2nd was 4/11.
Leads me to wonder the accuracy of these test strips which are so vital.
I won't purchase again.
Most people wouldn't even check the expiration date, but I am a nurse, it's automatic.

Best Test Strips - C. F. Hill "CFH" on Dec 1, 2008

I have been using the Ascensia CONTOUR Monitoring System for about a year now and have been very happy with the accuracy and ease of use. The "Ascensia Contour 50 Diabetic Test Strips" are made for the contour Meter and are a steal at this price.

I have never seen any problems with these test strips and did not have any problems with the seller or packaging (as another reviewer reported).

Highly recommended!

Appropriate For The Bayer Contour Product - Prakash Arjunan on Jun 15, 2010

Test strips arrived on time, they arrived in a sealed box and they fit the Bayer Contour glucose monitor perfectly. Good fit and quite a good price.

Good Price... - SuperflyDIY on Jan 12, 2012

These were cheaper from amazon than I could find anywhere else and the expiration date allowed for more than enough time to use for anyone who monitors blood sugar routinely.

Contour Test Strips - Cheri Saley on Jan 10, 2012

Price is more than attractive (only a bit more than 1/3 my local drugstore price). Boxes were sealed. Expiration date is over a year and a half away. I only wish the container wasn't so big. I use the Contour USB and everything else in my kit is streamlined.

They Work Great - Deputy on Nov 9, 2011

Much better than the Acu-Chek Aviva tester and strips. These require a very small amount of blood and the result comes in 5 seconds.

Don't Need All The Features But Is Rock Solid And Easy To Use - Ronald S. Handa "rus on Oct 5, 2011

save big time when you order test strips online, uses less blood than one touch
I really like how it arranges the results to memory!! and its easily downloaded to a Doctors pc data base

Half The Cost & LONG Expiration Dates - Roger on Sep 8, 2011

I have been buying these online at Amazon for years and they are Half the Cost as local drug stores and locally the Expiration dates were short as compared to all that I buy from Amazon which are 1 year plus out.

Want to help end the health care crisis in America? Shop around and buy low cost !!!

What Can I Say? -- They Work Fine. - Fotomatt62 on Apr 9, 2011

There's not much you can say about test strips other than they work or they don't. These test strips work fine in my Bayer Contour meter. The best thing was that the price here was significantly less than I would pay at my local pharmacy. I don't have health insurance, so this was a great thing for me.

SLOW Shipping... - John Lellis on May 23, 2010

This is exactly what the description said. Strips were current stock (expire 11/2011) and less than half what they charge at CVS. Amazon would have rated 5 starts for this order except that super saver shipping took three weeks to arrive. There's no way this should happen...

Sent The Wrong Item - anonymous pie maker on Mar 30, 2010

I ordered the Bayer Contour test strips for the Ascencia model (as pictured). The seller sent me the test strips for the Contour TS. While the shipping was quick, they sent the wrong product. I have contacted the seller and am awaiting a response. Review will be updated when this issue is resolved. The seller listed in the comments that "These are the Bayer Contour test strips, box is orange and blue. Same strips, box design is different than pictured." HOWEVER, the Contour TS strips are not compatible with the Contour Ascencia (says so right on the box).

12 April 2010 - Updated review to 2 stars
I requested a refund and prepaid return shipping for the product. Seller complied, however still insisted that the Bayer T/S strips could be used with the Bayer Contour meter. This is after I told him I had the Bayer Contour Ascencia meter (different than Bayer Contour meter and the Contour T/S) and that the product image as advertised for sale are test strips for the Bayer Contour Ascencia meter. Although he was willing to pay for return shipping and refund me, he still doesn't get that he sent the wrong product, and is now encouraging users to substitute T/S strips for the Contour meter. I am happy with the customer service, but unless the seller is a physician, I probably won't be taking his advice on substituting test strips. Maybe they are all the same, and maybe they aren't. But Bayer won't approve the use of different test strips with their meters, and while this may be a corporate ploy to make more money, I don't want to put my health at risk. Advice to other customers: make sure you know what test strips you are buying and make sure they are for your meter. Bayer Contour T/S is not the same as Bayer Contour which is still not the same as Bayer Contour Ascencia.

Nice Price - Dale Eisele "manches on May 9, 2009

I need them so I try to find the best price. In the drugstores these test strips cost about a buck apeice. These were less then have that price when I bought them including shipping. Will buy again and again.

Test Strips Review - S. Teki "test" on Dec 8, 2008

Customer service is excellent from the company who sold these test strips. They are very cooperative and helpful.

Thanks!!

I Love The Price. - Thomas M. Taylor "ru on Jan 24, 2012

These are excellent test strips and almost half the cost of purchasing them at the store here locally. i am glad that Amazon is around to offer this product at such a reduced rate.

Test Strips - Richard on Jan 21, 2012

Received test strips that had a experiation date well into the future. I ordered in the middle of Christmas rush. They arrived exactlly when promiced. I was pleased and surprised.

Great Service - Debra Boland on Jan 8, 2012

Great price for the Contour Test strips, much more expensive through my insurance so this was a great deal. Great service! Would buy from again!!!

Excellent Product And Seller - Greg on Dec 25, 2011

This product is great, it was shipped fast, and I had absolutely no problems at all during the entire ordering process.

Paying For Test Strips Made A Bit Less Painful - insulin user on Sep 2, 2011

The whole process from ordering to the day they arrived was easy(which was in a timely manner) was so easy and much more affordable.Anybody who has the high deductible can tell you that paying for diabetic supplies is not cheap,especially not the test strips.Would certainly use this seller again!

Contour Strips - Terry on Aug 30, 2011

Great price greater than half price savings for the same product in Walmart for something that is needed for daily use this IS the ONLY way to buy the contour strips. I got them within days of ordering. Best service.

Great Deal! - Grammie on Jul 20, 2011

I was very pleased with my order, it was a great price and arrived very quickly! They even sent me a discount drug card.

Great Product - loves2kn1t on Apr 19, 2011

Great product and the best part - great price. This is more than double in the stores. Thanks for giving us a good product available at a good price.

Processed As Expected - Barbara H. Jarvis on Jan 29, 2011

Processed as expected. Much easier to do on line. Response was prompt and product arrived in a timely manner. Packed well.

Awesome! - Amjad Ayoub "Aj" on Jan 18, 2011

I buy these for a friend and I have to say they are working great for him. The price? wow! how can you beat that, and he shipping is fast. Oh yes, they do come exactly as they are shown in the picture, no gimmicks.

Arrived On Time And As Promised - Daemonangel on Nov 16, 2010

Ordered direct from amazon (not a 3rd party seller). It arrived on time and expiration is over a year away. I'll definitely be placing another order.

They've Never Let Me Down - Kelly L. Stark "TGWS on Nov 3, 2010

Look, they're not sexy nor will they change your life. They're little analytical vampires that suck up your blood, enabling your glucose meter to spit out a reading in 5 seconds.

Put it simply - they work. If you do your job and produce a small droplet of blood, they'll do theirs. The only negative I have is that they're slick and it can be hard sometimes to get one out of the package. But that's trivial to me.

Bayer Contour Test Strips, 50 Ct - I am A Womble on Nov 2, 2010

Arrived in a timely fashion. Product does what it's meant to do and great value for money. This is almost half price for the same product found in my local Walmart.

Long Expiration Date - Nus on Aug 29, 2010

This is the second time I bought this product. I feel happy because I got one year of expiration date.

Very Good Deals. - Angels on Jul 9, 2010

Thank's for these amazing good deals. Since I knew about these offers I have not stopped buying them, every time I need them.

Bayer Contour Strips - J. Nagy on Mar 29, 2010

Test strips arrived on time and as advertised - over one year left on the expiration date.

Why Pay More? - Linda Cross on Mar 5, 2010

half the price of Walmart and it's the same product, Amazon is great, why pay more?

Good Product - MJ on Dec 21, 2009

I just changed meters and love the new Bayer Contour. These strips take so little blood so you do not have bruising on your finger tips.

Diabetes Test Strips - Daniel T. Daley on Dec 21, 2009

I decided to convert to these test strips because of cost. I was able to purchase this product for approximately 25% of the cost of my current test strips without a prescription.

Contour Test Strips For My Cat - Cynthia K. Bauer "Ci on Jul 12, 2009

Great price and quick delivery! I have to buy these for my cat that is a diabetic - she had no health insurance - this is the price I can find on the internet for them.

Great Buy !! - Alaska Girl "Always on Jul 6, 2009

What a great deal! Over half the price of what is in the stores. Appreciate being able to order so easily.

EXPIRED!!! - M. Mercier "Mandy Me on Jun 22, 2010

Thought this was a good price so I ordered a box of 100. Had some "samples" from my doctor so I used those first, then started using these. Readings were very high which concerned me. Then I looked at the bottle -- the strips were over two years old!! They expired over a year ago!! Thanks for NOTHING. I'm so upset -- even with a lower price this was a significant expense. Now I have to wait another couple of days to test while I try to find a pharmacy, get a new prescription, etc. and meanwhile, it's probably too late to get a refund. It's EXTREMELY important that these readings be accurate. UNBELIEVABLE that you would sell expired strips.
