Why this page exists

If you search for a test strip buyer, you will find warnings about buyers who never paid. Those warnings are worth reading. You are mailing something of value to someone you have never met, so you should be skeptical. You may also find few independent reviews of us yet. So instead of asking you to trust us, this page gives you facts you can check yourself.

How to check any test strip buyer (including us)

Use this checklist on every buyer you are considering. We pass it on purpose.

1. Call the number

A real buyer has a phone number a person answers or calls back. Call ours: 518-278-6008. Ask a question about your boxes and see how the answer sounds.

2. Find the shipping address before you ship

Your prepaid label shows exactly where your box is going. A buyer who won't tell you where your box goes is a buyer to skip. Ours ships to Cash For Test Strips USA, 6 Northway Ln, Latham, NY.

3. Look for prices you can see before you ship

Some buyers only name a number after your box is in their hands. We post the most we pay per sealed box on our mail-in price list, and the kit form shows your price as you go and holds it for 30 days.

4. Read the rules before you ship

Every buyer should have written terms for what happens if a box arrives different from the form. Ours are on one page: cash4teststripsusa.com/terms. Read them before you send anything. If a buyer has no written terms, ask why.

5. Never pay to get paid

You should never pay a fee, buy a gift card, or share a bank password to sell your supplies. Payment apps need only your phone number, email or username. We send a prepaid label, so shipping to us is free, too.

6. Know you can stop before you ship

Until your box is in the mail, you can choose not to go ahead. Nothing ships until you decide to send it.

What happens to your box, step by step

Here is the whole trip, from your kitchen table to your payment.

1. You fill in the mail-in kit form. Pick your boxes, pick the condition of each one, and choose how you want to be paid. No account and no minimum.
2. You get a text, usually within a minute, from 518-278-6008. Reply there any time and our team picks it up.
3. You get a free prepaid USPS label. Most kits get the label and a QR code on the screen as soon as the form is saved. If we need to check anything first, we text you.
4. You ship. Keep each box sealed in its original packaging, pack it in a sturdy outer box, and drop it off. No printer? Show the QR code at any Post Office.
5. You track it. Your private kit page shows the label, the tracking, when the box arrived and when you were paid. Lost the link? Use our track my kit page with your kit number and the last four digits of your phone.
6. Your box arrives in Latham and is checked in.
7. You get paid the day after your box arrives.

You'll get texts and emails about your kit along the way, and nothing else.

How payment works

You pick how you want to be paid on the kit form: Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, ACH or check.

Payment goes out the day after your box arrives. The form shows exactly where the money will go ("We'll pay you by Zelle..."), so you can catch a typo before you submit.

What you are paid depends on the boxes that arrive. Every box is graded Mint, Dinged or Damaged. See the photos on our box conditions page and pick the grade that matches each box. If you're not sure, pick the closer one: a dinged box marked mint is simply paid at the dinged price, and nothing is held against you for it.

Where to find our policies

Everything about offers, box grades, changed offers, returns and payment lives in one place: our Terms. We keep the rules there, and only there, so there is one version and it is always current. Please read it before you ship. Questions about anything in it? Call or text 518-278-6008 or email sell@cash4teststripsusa.com.

The bottom line
