Review by anonymous pie maker for Bayer Contour Mail Order Test Strips, 50 CT
Rating:
I ordered the Bayer Contour test strips for the Ascencia model (as pictured). The seller sent me the test strips for the Contour TS. While the shipping was quick, they sent the wrong product. I have contacted the seller and am awaiting a response. Review will be updated when this issue is resolved. The seller listed in the comments that “These are the Bayer Contour test strips, box is orange and blue. Same strips, box design is different than pictured.” HOWEVER, the Contour TS strips are not compatible with the Contour Ascencia (says so right on the box).

I requested a refund and prepaid return shipping for the product. Seller complied, however still insisted that the Bayer T/S strips could be used with the Bayer Contour meter. This is after I told him I had the Bayer Contour Ascencia meter (different than Bayer Contour meter and the Contour T/S) and that the product image as advertised for sale are test strips for the Bayer Contour Ascencia meter. Although he was willing to pay for return shipping and refund me, he still doesn’t get that he sent the wrong product, and is now encouraging users to substitute T/S strips for the Contour meter. I am happy with the customer service, but unless the seller is a physician, I probably won’t be taking his advice on substituting test strips. Maybe they are all the same, and maybe they aren’t. But Bayer won’t approve the use of different test strips with their meters, and while this may be a corporate ploy to make more money, I don’t want to put my health at risk. Advice to other customers: make sure you know what test strips you are buying and make sure they are for your meter. Bayer Contour T/S is not the same as Bayer Contour which is still not the same as Bayer Contour Ascencia.
