Pen needles being removed from Amazon
-
I noticed glucocare pen needles drying up a couple of weeks ago on Amazon and now they're not just out of stock. They're just no longer available in order history.
They still have the Novofine stuff and they actually have a lot of it via prime which is great but those cost 3x what gluco care does.
It's going to get a little less convenient, but luckily these products aren't like bacwater.
@Randy Is there a certain one you are looking for. I see them on Amazon right now. In particular, this one:
-
Keep an eye on facebook marketplace. I just paid a total of $40 for five boxes of Novofine and three boxes of BD Ultra Fine.

@Foodstampede Yeah definitely. I had to message the seller to confirm it was for all the boxes. This might've been the first time on marketplace I didn't try to negotiate for a lower price lol.

@ctrain24 that sounds like one of those times where you just want to get out the door before they realize the mistake. That is an insane deal!

Just following up on this; there are definitely shenanigans afoot. The pen needles I ordered have been delayed, and the link to the product is a dead link now. But there is a different gauge and length available.
Odd stuff going on.

I’ll also add that you’ll still find syringes or tips (for syringe and pens) will still be listed. There’s a dozen states that limit quantity of all in one delivery devices. The seller work around is smaller quantities packaged, that’s what you’ll find listings for 10 and 50. Pen tips do not have the same restrictions as insulin syringes, unless they are licensed for human medical use.

@chuxpeps I absolutely love the flat tips. The ones with the nubs are kinda dumb and pointless. Just push the tip against your rat’s skin and press the button.
I know the regular ones are not a huge deal but to me it simplifies the whole thing just enough. “Is it all the way in?” Yup. Do I have to worry about holding it in place? Not really.
@ResearchCat, thanks for the real-world feedback. Now to stock up grabs wallet

What exactly are flat tips?
@jackie, it's how the plastic part of the tip is designed. If you look at a tip, some will have a small plastic nub that secures the needle to the threaded portion. A flat tip widens that attachment point and effectively eliminates this little nub. Here's a traditional with the nub
and a flat tip

The 32gx6mm I ordered Sunday arrived Tuesday. the two orders of 32gx4mm are still delayed. Hopefully arrive this week.

This is a clown show. The syringes and pen tips I ordered Sunday got delivered (32g/6mm) but my two orders of 32g/4mm have now been indefinitely delayed. Same brand and vendor.
