@realDaveFeldman@ownyourlabs I'm an LMHR and very happy customer of @ownyourlabs:
Pricing meets or beats my own wholesale lab discounts, and the customer service is "owner-level" quality attention and response time!
Highly recommend! π―
@realDaveFeldman@ownyourlabs I've used https://t.co/hS7OvDN0l6 twice and soon I will again. I spend around $68 for the basic package. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (14), Complete Blood Count with Differential/Platelet, Insulin, Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Lipid Panel, High Sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hs-CRP)
π₯π₯π₯ Price drop update @ownyourlabs
Talk about timing -- we just got a massive price drop from Labcorp on a number of labs we've been requesting, which we've now updated at the site.
(I'm definitely getting ApoB and Direct LDL every freak'n test now)
I know this is going to sound like an ad, but bear with me for a moment ββ here's the brief history of @ownyourlabs and why our prices are so low...
When I started the Cholesterol Code blog way back in 2016, I was doing a lot of blood draws for my experiments, but I could only afford getting NMRs (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) for the advanced lipid metrics because they cost $99 each π . At over 40 tests that year... well, it definitely adds up.
Eventually I connected with a great doctor who helped me get labs for cheaper direct through him. And hey, the more I was getting the same tests, the better his rates would get.
Frequent testing = bulk rate negotiating power!
So eventually @siobhan_huggins and I are ramping up all kinds of tests and people are asking us how we get them. We figured we'd kill three birds with one stone by setting up a site where they could get these too:
1) We're all adding to the total tests being ordered, so we can keep getting our base pricing lower and lower.
2) We can also encourage people to submit their anonymized data right there at checkout for a 10% discount, giving them an incentive to help citizen science.
So take that NMR I mentioned above -- we now have it down to $68.78 at @ownyourlabs, and that's with the markup.
Or take fasting insulin, for example. At @ownyourlabs it's getting ordered all the time (so many of us on #lowcarb) so the pricing is down to $12.60 (typically $50-60 at other sites)
Thing is, this has and continues to be a labor of love for @siobhan_huggins and myself. For real.
We used to account for the credit card and venipuncture fees at check out -- but now we just straight up pay them on our end to make it easier all around.
I love that because that person who literally only wants that one test (like CRP or insulin) and is on a budget can get it super cheap through us and what we lose to a tighter markup margin with them is getting covered by larger orders from our regulars.
Anyway, I'm just saying we are like the super customers ourselves who just happen to be running the store. Like we're running a massive get-your-data party and want to keep the cover low so everyone can celebrate. π
And here's the best part, we don't spend anything on advertising. It's all been word of mouth by YOU, the community. Although I'll concede my mom likes crochet lipoproteins for us and send to some of our biggest word-of-mouth promoters. (But that's a bit "rate limited", as it were)
So bottom line, thank you! You're all proving this model works and helping us to help you, which helps us to love doing this. πππππππ
