Johnroy - The forum had had an issue for a day or so. Admin are working on it, so please be patient in that regard.

I don't know about SD Codefree strips on Amazon, as I always buy directly from the UK Distributor. I ordered some over the weekend, and wasn't notified there might be a stock issue.

The reason I buy directly from HomeHealth is if you buy directly from them you can have a price discount if you buy tubs in multiples of 5 or 10 tubs. Applying the discount brings a £9 discount on 5 tubs. That's worth having, and I guess reflects the admin costs of supplying via Amazon. The Homehealth web address is:

http://homehealth-uk.com/all-products/sd-codefree-test-strips-to-be-used-only-with-the-sd-monitor/

The discount codes are:

5 Tubs: 264086
10 Tubs: 975833

The discount is the same % for 5 or 10, so no financial advantage in buying greater bulk, provided the free 2nd class post is enough for you. The codes can be used again and again.

As I said in my earlier post, I ordered over the weekend, and applied the discount code, as usual - well I am Scottish! This morning, I've had an email conforming my order is complete and dispatched, so it doesn't appear there is an issue at that part of the supply chain.

@ally1 - Like any website, sometimes I think it behaves like a naughty child! Should you prefer it, you can also order over the telephone and provided you ask them to, they will apply the discount code. As a business to deal with, they're very user friendly and want to do a good job..

Er,..... From correspondence with one of the directors, I know they look on this forum from time to time (probably at times they might be getting feedback on a batch of strips that may be a bit wonky). They're really interested in getting it right and doing the right thing.

I don't have any association with them, they've just been a great find for me and so many others. Whoever uncovered them first should be on their payroll!

I have managed to place an order. Hip hip horary. This was at 9.30. As yet I have not received an email saying it's been dispatched, just an email saying they have received my order and are going to pass it on

I think their standard is purchase before something like 3.30pm, they'll be posted same day. I imagine they probably start by clearing their weekend orders.

If you don't have anything by this evening Ally, you could email them or give them a call, but I reckon they're probably just working their way through to you.

I will use them again. I have saved 17 pounds by using that site compared to amazon

Home health are great. I originally ordered from Amazon but every time since that first order have dealt directly. Getting delivery abroad is a little slower but I think that's the postal service! I just make sure to order a bit further in advance.
