RE: Spare CPAP supplies
Just tell them you don’t want supplies or sell them on to someone who does not have cover. But you can’t use this site for the sale

Sounds as if another order will ship within a couple of weeks or so. Since I turned 65 last October, no more out-of-pocket expenses either.
Anyways, just curious to know if some of you are experiencing the same thing?
I've told my DME not to ship anything on automatic, only when I order specific items. I don't have the storage space to keep up with the standard schedule of replacements, and I don't need replacements anywhere close to the scheduled times.

RE: Spare CPAP supplies
No problem in regards to storage space, and I have no intention of trying to sell on this site.
I was just curious if others were experiencing the same.

RE: Spare CPAP supplies
I get an email every 3 months from my DME telling me it's time to re-order supplies through their website. I can pick and choose which supplies I order, and often I'll delay re-ordering by a month or more. Mostly I just get the mask and/or cushions when needed; I decline the humidifier tank, heated tubing, etc. as they pretty much last forever. I have a spare or two of everything; that's all I want cluttering up my closet!

RE: Spare CPAP supplies
After a spare one or two of all the supplies, I'd be set for a while. I'd just tell the DME not to send any other stuff. I can imagine accepting all the supplies the DME wants to keep sending is also keeping their boat or Airstream payments alive and well. And I don't want to collect so much on the supplies that my bedroom looks like a mini DME showroom.
