Despite the images and description for this product I received FreeStyle test strips (with a sticker affixed to the bottom of the box that said FreeStyle Lite) which are not compatible with the FreeStyle Lite meter.

In a prior review I found fault with the non delivery of my order for diabetes testing strips with Amazon’s vendor, Arrowson. Since then, I have changed my opinion back to being positive!

The company went out of its was to apologise for its error, and then sent me the strips rapidly with no “hassles” the second time. The price was certainly right, and I am most willing now to give them another try.

This seller is HORRIBLE. If I could give a negative star, I would. I highly advise against buying anything from them. My father never received the item and then the seller had the nerve to REFUSE my refund, even though my dad never got anything in the mail. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER, THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS. I’m shocked that Amazon even lets them sell on their site.

As of mid-September 2009, the identical problem described by “Sam” earlier is still occurring, namely that the old type “FreeStyle” test strips are being shipped instead of the newer “FreeStyle Lite” strips, which is what’s supposed to be for sale on this page. The two are NOT the same product and are NOT compatible! I figure this is because the wrong paper label got stuck to the box sometime during the distribution process and nobody has bothered yet to correct the problem. And while I always expect there’s going to be a few mistakes made in any system, I find it extremely worrying that a problem with the wrong MEDICAL product being shipped still has not been corrected in the month between “Sam’s” review and mine.

Amazon? you’re starting to tick me off. Who rates medical equipment? We’re talking about test strips.

My buddy hasn’t died of diabetes yet (I bought this for a friend) and he didn’t seem to have any problems using the stips, so they are what they are which means ‘why bother reviewing them’

-r

PS: On the other hand, it was nice I got free shipping; and un-nice that I couldn’t use my buddy’s ‘wish list’ to send him this item. Amazon: are you on drugs?
