Daily Mail, you know the sort
I was looking for a good deal on testing strips and found what on the face of it looked like a good plan from Type2Testing.com.
However, what seemed to be offered initially on the welcome page (quarterly plan giving 400 testing strips) was presented very differently on the 'order summary' at the payment stage (100 testing strips delivered each quarter = 400 for the year).
Perhaps its just me, but other members of my family were also confused by this.
Just bringing this to your attention ….

Thanks @bulkbiker . I swapped to TEE2 some months back but recently I got shown the Type2Testing offer and what looked good (400 strips for less than £30) was clearly too good to be true. I wouldn't accuse them of being deliberately misleading in their offer but the way it is worded is definitely misleading. TEE2 will continue to see my money.
btw how do you avoid tax on the TEE2 strips? mine were £7.75 + VAT.
 
Tick the box that you are a T2 diabetic and the strips are VAT free.. you may need to phone up Spirit Healthcare to do this.. as they were having trouble with their website last time I ordered... although the lady I spoke to did say they'd fix it..

I think the difference is simply the payment frequency .. if you pay quarterly its one price and annually another but I agree it does look a tad dodgy.. and pricey... even worse with the quarterly payments!
