I’m really sorry Robert, I completely missed your post last year. I’ve just spotted it while tidying. So, I moved it here.
I completely agree with your points about customer service. To me, it is the most important part of buying a uric acid tester. Because, without good customer support, you are probably wasting your money.
Anyway, if you still want to buy a meter, let me know. I can recommend a source who supplies to the USA, and has good customer support.
