The Official Online Wheelchair Store 

As the popularity of internet shopping continues to grow, more and more people are discovering the many advantages of buying online.  Low Prices and a larger selection are things that ordinarily won't go unnoticed by the customers.  The internet does offer substantial benefits over traditional shopping when it comes to healthcare and medical equipment products.  The internet also poses a lot of problems for shoppers, especially for those shopping for medical equipment.  While there are as many risks as there are benefits, by knowing what to avoid, internet shoppers can protect themselves and reduce the risk involved.

FIVE RULES TO FOLLOW:

RULE #1:

Never buy anything used --- especially a wheelchair!

The most dangerous mistake people make buying medical equipment online is to buy used equipment, especially if the equipment is a wheelchair, scooter or other power mobility device.  It is common for medical equipment providers operating on a local level to offer equipment rentals.  The cleaning of equipment in between rentals is subjected to strict regulations and conducted according to rigid guidelines.  With some exceptions, most medical equipment products are not resold by their owner.  Often times it is the original owner's family who does the reselling.  Without getting too graphic, try to imagine some of the substances that might come into contact with a wheelchair that Aunt Maybel "only used a handful of times".  The bottom line is this: if you buy it used, you'll never know what the stain on the seat of Grandpa's wheelchair really is.  You have no way to know for sure, and no way to verify that it has been cleaned properly before you recieve it.  In addition, you lose any service contracts and warranties included in the original sale.

Overall, the risks far outweigh the benefits.  Buy the new, clean, not the used one with the mysterious sticky seat.  Stick to new equipment, and try to remember that you get what you pay for.

RULE #2:

If they don't give you their phone number, don't give them your credit card number.

Medical Equipment is simply not the kind of product that allows for a one-size-fits-all approach to customer service.  A specific condition or ailment usually exists beforehand that the equipment is purchased to help treat or serve some other condition/ailment related function.  If you can't call the seller to ask a question related to your specific needs and get a prompt response (1-2 days at the longest) don't buy from that seller.  Before buying anything, you need to be sure that what you're buying is right for your specific needs. You can't do that if you cannot contact the seller or if the seller issues no response.  Medical Equipment is built so specificly that one really should have a clinician advise before buying and a technician available for afterwords.  Since that is not always practical, being able to reach the company you bought it from by phone is a must for buying medical equipment online.  You may have to send them an email to get a phone number, but a phone number is a phone number.  Just make sure it works before buying.

RULE #3

If possible stick to proven, well-established manufacturers and brands.

Thinking about getting that really cheap rollator that looks the same as all the others in the pictures?  Don't fool yourself into believing that you're getting a quality product from the company whose price is half the going rate but offers no warranty or other gaurantee. Buy something that will preserve the health of its user, don't take the chance of putting that person at greater risk.  Medical Equipment occasionally breaks or malfunctions.Go with a company that sells product that come with a manufacturer's warranty. 

RULE #4

If you're not sure, ask.

Don't buy until all your questions are answered.  It doesn't hurt to ask questions even if you're not really curious or you already know the answer.  At the very least, you'll get a feel for the kind of company you are dealing with.

RULE #5

Do your own research.

Make sure that you know what you are buying in terms of both the product and the service.  Try to locate as much information as you can about your specific condition or need as well as the product you are considering.  There is no award offered for buying something quickly.  Do some research and compare your options.  Most importantly, don't rush the decision, it pays not to.

When buying medical equipment, the low prices, endless selection, and convenience of shopping online are much more enjoyable when these easy steps are followed, and the resulting purchase can be made with confidence.
