This product came as advertised: terrific price, prompt delivery. BUT they did not disclose that the expiration date is less than 6 months. The expiration date was listed on the packing slip AFTER they arrived, although they did say you could return them if you didn't open the package. I'd run out of strips and didn't have a choice. Just be careful. Deep Discount Centers phone number is (832) 368-5877 if you want to call before ordering. NOTE: when they found out what had happened, they sent me an additional 50 test strips FREE with an expiration date of 10/2010, a more than generous action. I agree, they're good guys and I'll order with them again.

I ordered the 100 count test strips and received 2 boxes of 50 count. Although substitutions were noted, the invoice indicated that the expiration dates were in 2010 (product was ordered June 2009). After looking at the boxes, I noticed that one of them was due to expire in Sept 2009. This particular box also had the prescription information for a patient in PA. I contacted Deep Discount Center who said the reason for this is because they purchase supplies from pharmacies in cases where the customer did not pick up their medication/supplies. I was kind of disturbed to see this woman's personal information (address, phone #, DOB, etc) on the package. I shredded her personal information, and I hope anyone else in this situation would do the same. Deep Discount Center sent me a free 50 count box of test strips free of charge due to the error in expiration.

Although this has nothing to do with Deep Discount Center, I am more cautious now about ordering prescriptions at local pharmacies and I would like to warn other consumers that if they do not pick up what they ordered at pharmacy, it may end up in a warehouse like Deep Discount Center. I hate to think how many of my prescriptions with my personal information may be floating around.

I found these strips within the parameters of the bayer test solution test..they are half the price of the ones at the pharmacy..don't know why...but those paticular strips I bought worked as normal..I am going to purchase some more right now ,hopefully they are as good.

These are the same test strips I used to pay $100 for at CVS. Shipping was prompt and product expiration was in 2009. I would not hesitate to order again when this supply runs out.

I have looked around and found 100 strips at walmart come out to $1 a strip. Cvs even more. Walgreens are about the same price as cvs. I went to SAMs and costco and 100 strips are around $98. Amazon had them for less then half price .think about it. Every time you use a strip it like burning a $1 bill If you have to test yourself more then 3 times a day like I do how much you will be saving getting them at Amazon. Also shipping was faster then I was told and it was free. save your money. I will be getting my strips from amazon from now on and you should too. 5 stars all the way.

I was able to buy twice as many for less than I pay at my local drugstore. I have used several and they appear to be identical. You have to need a lot of strips to buy in this quantity as there are alot of them.
Rapid delivery, good buy

Received item in December 09 with a use by date of March 10. Contacted seller and they said they can sell at such a low price only because of the close expiration date and the expiration date was clearly noted in the listing, well it was not!!! They offered a refund but would not pay for return shipping.

This product works just as promised and my husband has been able to rest easy knowing that he is getting reliable readings.

Expiration date is within 3 months of the ship date. I didn't see that mentioned anywhere in the add.
Shipping was quick, price excellent, not really sure of quality, since it is reaching expiration. I guess you get what you pay for.

Just wanted to Update the Amazon community.

I noodled around and found this:
