Local pickup or mail-in: which is better?
The short version: If you are within about 50 miles of Dallas, meeting in person is fastest: we look at the boxes and pay cash on the spot. Everywhere else, in Texas or any other state, mail-in is the way: free prepaid label, paid by Zelle or Venmo the day the box arrives. The offer is worked out the same way for both.
Side by side
| Meeting in person | Mail-in | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | Within about 50 miles of Dallas | Anywhere in Texas, and all 50 states |
| How you're paid | Cash, on the spot | Zelle or Venmo |
| When you're paid | When we meet, often the same day | The day your box arrives and checks out |
| Cost to you | Nothing | Nothing. The label is prepaid. |
| Inspection | In front of you | When the box arrives |
| Best for | Dallas–Fort Worth, larger lots, people who want cash | The rest of Texas, other states, or anyone who'd rather not meet |
When meeting in person makes sense
You are in or near Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, or any of the other cities we drive to. You want cash. Or you want to watch the boxes being checked so there is no question about the final number. For larger lots we come to your door. For a few boxes we meet at a public place near you.
When mail-in makes sense
You live outside our driving range, in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, anywhere else in the state, or in another state entirely. Or you are local but your schedule is tight and dropping a package off is easier than setting a time. The full process is in how to sell diabetic supplies by mail in Texas.
What stays the same either way
- You get an offer by text before you drive or ship anything.
- The number we send is the number we pay, as long as the boxes match what you described.
- The same supplies qualify: sealed, in date, not recalled, and not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.
- If a box doesn't qualify, we tell you right away.
Common questions
Do you pay more for pickup than for mail-in?
No. The offer is based on the product, the count, the expiration date, and the box condition, not on how the boxes get to us.
I live in Dallas–Fort Worth. Can I still mail my supplies?
Yes. Choose mail-in on the form and we'll text you a prepaid label.
Will you come to my house?
For larger lots, yes, within about 50 miles of Dallas. For smaller lots we usually meet at a public spot that works for you.
