How to Sell Omnipod 5 Pods by Mail When You No Longer Need Them

When someone in the family changes pumps, or you are the one clearing out a parent's supply closet, the sealed Omnipod boxes are usually the biggest pile, and they can be sold by mail from anywhere in the country. Fill in our mail-in kit form, ship the sealed boxes free with a prepaid USPS label, and you are paid the day after they arrive.

Pods tend to pile up because they come on a schedule. The deliveries keep arriving right up until the change happens, so the closet holds a few months of boxes nobody in the house will use. They look like packaging, and a lot of them end up in the trash during a cleanout. If they are still sealed, set them aside first.

Check one number on every Omnipod 5 box

Omnipod 5 pods come in more than one box, and they are not all the same to us. Turn each box over and find the NRC number.

We buy Omnipod 5 pods in the box made for Dexcom G6/G7, NRC 08508-3000-21. We do not buy Omnipod 5 pods in the box made for Dexcom G6 / Libre 2 Plus, NRC 08508-3000-42. The two boxes look alike at a glance, which is why the number matters. If you cannot read it, text a photo to 518-278-6008.

What else is usually in the closet

A pump change often leaves more than pods behind. We also buy the sealed Omnipod 5 starter kit with its PDM, and sealed Omnipod DASH 5-packs. Our Omnipod pods page covers each one.

Everything has to be sealed in its original packaging. Opened boxes and loose pods cannot be bought, so if a box has already been opened, leave it out of the shipment.

Sort the boxes by the date printed on them

A cleanout usually turns up boxes from several different deliveries, so it helps to make two stacks. Boxes with 7 or more months left on the date printed on the box get an instant quote on the kit form. Boxes with less than 7 months left go through Submit for a quote, and a person at our office prices them. You see the offer either way before you ship.

From the closet to the Post Office

Once the kit form is filled in, you get a free prepaid USPS label and a QR code. There is no need for a printer; the Post Office can print the label from the QR code. Pack the boxes tightly in a sturdy shipping box, and if you want a walkthrough, see how to pack diabetic supplies for shipping.

Each box is graded Mint, Dinged or Damaged, which affects the price. Boxes that sat in a closet for months are not always perfect, and the box conditions page has photos to help you choose the right grade on the form.

Getting paid, and keeping everyone in the loop

You are paid the day after the box arrives, by Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, ACH or check. If you are handling this for a relative and others in the family want to know where things stand, anyone with the kit number and the last four digits of your phone can check the track my kit page.

Large estates sometimes turn up far more than a few boxes. The bulk selling page explains how bigger lots are handled, and if you would rather meet a buyer locally, the buyer directory searches by ZIP code.

Sending sealed boxes to a company you found online should feel like a decision, not a leap. Our posts on whether Cash For Test Strips USA is legit and how to check any test strip buyer are there for exactly that.
