Can i buy it from a third party seller, or it has to be at least fulfilled by Amazon?

[3yummyboys]

The rebate is from exergen so you can buy from any where

[unavailable]

maybe you can also add this $5 rebate

No, because you need to UPC code for this and also for one of the $10 rebates

But when i'm buying from a third party seller that i not fullfilled by amazon, i think i don't get a official receipt.

Has anyone ever used one of these before?  Curious if they work that much better than the regular thermometer I already have for my daughter.

Costco has this for 22.69 in store.

Not reliable. I have one for a while and while I can usually get ballpark temperature, you can try five tines in row and get different results. I heard this from another person who has one also.

Their claims of accuracy are probably for the $400 professional edition.

i have had the same experience very unreliable . i  know when my kid has fever without it and it doesnt give me an accurate read

+1, extremely unreliable

Even the doc told me not to rely on it

Even the doc told me not to rely on it

And I find docs to be unreliable so that leaves me in a quandary

The thermometer can give a basic idea but not if you need an exact temp
