Selling From Farther Away? Ship It to Us.

Our trucks cover northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin, but handpieces, small equipment, and dental gold travel well from anywhere in the country. One rule before anything moves: contact us first.

The Process

Five Steps, No Surprises

Never ship anything unannounced. The process below protects both of us: you know the price before the box leaves your hands, and we know what is coming.

1. Send Photos First

Use the sell form or text photos to (224) 500-8130. Include the model sticker if you can find it. A towel with everything laid out on it makes a perfect photo.

2. Get Your Offer

We reply with a real offer, usually within one business day. Nothing ships until you have a number you are happy with and our ship-to address.

3. Pack It Right

Follow the packing checklist below. Snap a photo of the contents before you seal the box; it protects you if the carrier is rough with it.

4. Ship With Tracking

Any carrier works. Always get tracking, and insure anything valuable. Ask us about a prepaid label when we talk; on agreed purchases we can often email you one.

5. Get Paid

We confirm what arrived matches what we agreed on, then pay you promptly. If anything differs we call you before anything else happens.

Questions Anywhere Along the Way?

A real person answers. Call or text (224) 500-8130, or email info@dentalsupplysurplus.com.

What Ships Well

Small, Valuable, Easy to Box

Handpieces: high speed, slow speed, electric motors and attachments. A single drawer is often worth real money.
Small equipment: curing lights, scalers, apex locators, intraoral cameras, X-ray sensors
Countertop units: small sterilizers and ultrasonic cleaners ship fine when packed well
Dental gold: crowns, bridges, PFMs, and lab scrap. Talk to us first and ship insured; see We Buy Dental Gold.
Parts and accessories: control boards, motors, valves, attachments, even untested

Too Big to Ship? We Come to You

Chairs, delivery units, compressors, vacuum pumps, and cabinetry are freight, not parcels. Do not wrestle one into a box: that is exactly what our removal service is for. In northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin we disconnect, remove, and pay at completion. Farther away? Contact us anyway; we regularly arrange freight for larger purchases.

Packing Checklist

Wrap each handpiece or instrument individually in bubble wrap; original cases are even better
Use a rigid box with 2 inches of padding on every side; double-box anything heavy for its size
Fill every void so nothing shifts when you shake the box gently
Drain water and oil lines on anything plumbed; bag items that could leak
Include a note with your name, phone, and email so we can match the box to your offer
Photograph the open box before sealing it
Ship with tracking; insure anything you would not want to lose

Sterilize or disinfect used clinical instruments before shipping, and never ship sharps loose. When in doubt about an item, ask us; we do this every week.
