I had my syringe orders on auto ship with Amazon and this month it--and all insulin syringes--say they are unable to ship to my home address in FL. Has anyone noticed this change?

I knew from previous comments by others that Amazon would not ship syringes/needles to California, but previously I had no problems getting mine shipped to FL. Wtf Amazon, POS! I placed an order with Blowout Medical, they beat Amsco's pricing.
 
Yeah it’s been this way for a few months now. I get mine from diabetic warehouse without issue.
 
Just checked with Florida buddy that got some a couple months ago and Amazon says no. Sigh. What's next, alcohol wipes?
 
Some will not ship to GA with Amazon... some do.. I have to go through a few different brands sometimes to see who will.

It's the same for SC. It's happening all over. I love Florida.

The government in every state has its hands in too much of people’s lives. If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

They've never been allowed in Georgia but if you search hard enough you'll find a listing that isn't flagged and you'll be able to order them. There is a BD brand listing I can still order on Amazon and they're not bad. Worst case, I'm told the ones sold as veterinary are the exact same thing.

My experience, living in California, is that for unknown reasons, Amazon will ship bad syringes to California. But if I want decent syringes, then I order online from a diabetes supply store.
 
Yeah it's the stupidest law because it actually works against against public safety. Like that's going to stop junkies from using. It will just encourage dirty needle use. And resourceful people who want to use grey gpl 1s will find another source for clean needles.

Those are BH but thanks for the link (back up). I'm in Georgia and get BD (good stuff) from ADWdiabetes.com no prescription required. There's usually a coupon to apply.

Do they actually require a Dr. prescription to complete your order? I just ordered a case of BD from them, so I guess I'll find out, just thought I'd ask anyway.

After I used the veterinary syringes, I started chasing after cats.

I'm watching my state for potential change of this debacle, while the municipality I live in gives them to junkies for " free". ( at others expense) Harm reduction should include all, not some. I've researched other options just in case.

Do you have to prove you're a junkie? Or can you just go in shaking like a leaf and pretending to be in withdrawal?

As long as they know you're going to shoot up your reta in the next aisle and leave the dirty uncapped syringe on a low child-friendly shelf, you're good to go

I mean chances are if you tell them it's for the non FDA approved white powder in a vial you bought from a drug dealer in China who smuggled it into the country for you....

Think I look too Amish for them to give them to me for free, too?

I used to get them for free by showing the Rite Aid pharmacist pictures of my lizards. I'm in NY so I'm not sure that was quite legal.

There are drop in centers that "anyone" can go to and get works and social service linkages, but the only people going to those places are the obvious. They used to have a van drive around the city, but funding for that racket got cut.
 
I also cannot get them shipped here from Amazon, but I have from Diabetic Warehouse, and Diabetic Supply.

In California, I find that I can't get Amazon to ship me the good brands of syringes. However, the diabetes supply places will ship good syringes here. Pharmacists in California are permitted to dispense syringes. I tried twice; it worked with one pharmacist.

I can’t get them in GA through Amazon. I just order from Walmart.

Update. The order I placed through Walmart still shipped from Amazon. Just got delivered by the post office. It must be something to do with Amazon drivers delivering instead of post office. 🤔

It's just so weird that I can order syringes from Amazon while I live in California but I only get only bad syringes. To my surprise, I found that I actually care a great deal about the quality of syringes. I recently bought ten BD syringes from a pharmacy when I went on vacation and forgot to pack syringes. The BD syringes were great, even better than the Easy Touch syringes.
 
Can't believe this place hasn't been metioned before. All kinds of good stuff. Oyster can even get his surgical supplies here.

They sell Easy Touch so they are not even vet needles , they are standard human syringes. They also have bac water for $4 a vial but no brand and not sure shipping cost. Plus they say you need an rx
 
My partner uses them for her allergy shots. We have been getting them from CVS by the box.

Dressing good and being white or bringing a white friend increase the odds of getting them without issue.

Different locations have different odds. We just drive to the next one when they refuse to give us her needles.
 
I can’t believe this thread is still alive. Just go to diabeticwarehouse.org people.
