Help with emed test kits

[imola]

Hoping some one here can lend a hand.  I went online to RC site to purchase the 6 pack of test kits but they only show packs of 2 or 3 available no 6s at all.  I went to the seller's site and they did not have them either.  I need 2 sets of 2 plus the backup in case any are bad. (already had that happen before.  Any thoughts of where else to look?  TIA for any help.

Emed.

I just ordered this morning. Got the pack of six. 
Did you go to emed dot com? When you click the order now button, it takes you directly to the page to order the pack of six. Just double-checked and it’s still working.

I found the site.  They want $21.25 shipping is that correct?

Yes thank you.  I was really surprised at the shipping cost.  I don't remember paying that last time.

Everyone seems to get more money for the same service as before.

They FedEx the tests

 

If you have health insurance in the USA, companies are now required to reimburse up to $12 per test.  (I don’t think that applies to Medicare yet)

Emed ( 6 packs) charges shipping, Optum (2-3 packs) does not.

Ordered 2 packs of 2. No shipping costs.  Arrived via FedEx 2 days later.  This was a week ago.

Strange  did you pick some special shipping?

I’ve ordered twice directly from Optum and never paid shipping. My daughter just ordered and paid no shipping, but she was sent the wrong tests. They are expediting another order today.

Unfortunately they did not give me a free shipping option even though it says orders over $49 have no shipping costs. It could be because I was in the mobile site and sometimes those don’t load properly. Who knows, I’m ok with the small extra cost; at least I know they’ll be here pre cruise in case Walgreens stops testing in my area like CVS has.

Did you connect from the link on Royal's site?

I did, yes.

I also ordered from Optum via the Royal link last Friday morning.  Shipping was $7.99 and there wasn't any option for free shipping.  I have been ordering from emed and yes, the shipping there was higher, but I didn't need 6 tests this time so went with Optum.  The tests did arrive on Tuesday, so fairly quickly.

Yes that is what I am seeing.  We need 4 kits and want a backup after having a bad kit the last time we got them so kinda have to get the the 6 pack.

[imola]

I just went to the med site to order.  I put the 6 pack in my cart.  It added the shipping and tax which brought it to over $182.00.  Then after I put in the billing information it said:

"Items in your cart legally require a medical prescription to be dispensed. Those items will be delivered to you after approval by an eMed Medical Professional."

Has anyone else has this happen?  If so is there a cost from them to get this "prescription"?  They are making it hard to do business with them.
