  ************
  We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration you may have experienced.  We strive to be transparent about all cpap specifications and content listed on our website. I can see you purchased the ResMed AirSense 10 Auto card-to-cloud model on 3/4/24 and contacted our customer service team on 3/18/24 regarding the unit not having Bluetooth.  There are several disclaimers located in the description that the cpap model you purchased is not compatible with the MyAir application via a direct connection and cannot use wireless data transmission.  We understand the importance of providing the correct cpap device and would be happy to offer you the ResMed AirSense 10 cpap model that does have Bluetooth equipped at no extra charge.   A manager will reach out today and review the details with you.
  
  Thank you,
  The CPAP Shop

  The date of the transaction was 1/19/2024. I purchased a CPAP machine online. I received it. Opened the box but did not use it, take things out of the box or in anyway harm it. It had several parts to it. I carefully put the things back in the box and called the company to request a refund. They told me that it had to be unused and unopened, which it was except for the enclosing box. They then tried to tell me that they had a no return policy that I was told about. I told them I was never informed of that. They listened to the call and found out that was correct. We agreed I could return it. (I am unable to use it). I paid for the postage and insurance and sent it back. I had a call from them today stating that the boxes were damaged and because it wasn't packed exactly as it had been (a cover was under something that it had been over) they would not issue a refund. If a box was torn or damaged it happened when they were processing it. When it left my house it was perfect. I might be able to have the *** person who mailed it verify that as he saw the items before taping it up again. I believe that they are discriminating against older people who need things like CPAP for survival. They went back on what they agreed to and now are lying about the condition of the package they received. I would like a full refund, an apology and return of the insurance I paid to return the package. I asked for pictures to verify what they are saying but of course they can fabricate the photos. I want other people to be warned about this company. I get an ad from them everyday so I know a lot of other seniors do also.

  Thank you for your review. Im sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but I really appreciate you bringing this issue to my attention.  Please know that your situation was an exception as we are known for taking ownership and caring deeply about our customers. Our records indicate that you received the travel CPAP machine on 1/30/24 and contacted our customer service team about 30 days later,on 2/29/24 to discuss a return. Although the boxes did have some torn areas (we can send pictures to your email), we can certainly make an exception and refund your original form of payment in full and waive the restocking fee.  It is certainly possible that the damage could have occurred during the return shipping.  I would like to have a manager contact you by phone regarding your other concerns with the overall experience.
  
  You can expect to receive an email today showing the refund is in process.  Your credit card company can take 7-10 days to fully process the refund.
  
  Thank you.

  I ordered two **** devices from the **** Store. Both were charged to my account, yet I never received. Each time Ive called to inquire, I went to automated options that were irrelevant recordings. The call was not even identified as a place of business. This appears to be a scam. Im going to pursue legal channels.

  Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to clear up the concerns with your order and allowing our team to make things right.  Thank you for responding to the representatives email and scheduling your Rx appointment for 10/27/23.  A manager has also left you a message with her direct extension if there are any further concerns and to discuss the automated phone options.  I believe the issue was the original email containing instructions to set up your Rx appointment may have gone to your spam.  I have discussed your feedback with our management team and will follow up with them to ensure that this issue is prevented in the future.  Additionally, I'd like to make it up to you by refunding 1 of the cpap masks in full.  You will see a $115.00 refund to your credit card in **** days.
  
  Please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything else you feel needs to be addressed.
  Thank you.

  The purchased a CPAP supply for 36 dollars. The money was immediately taken from my bank account, about a week later I received an email stating the supply was sent but the tracking number didn't connect to *** or any other mail delivery service. I contacted them, they told me the order did not yet ship. I continued to contact as they continue to tell me the order is not shipped while sending this statement to my email """" Get Ready!Your order is on its way! Your tracking number and order details are below. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out at ************************************* by calling at **************, or by chatting us from the website. I chat with them on their website and they cannot give me a date when I might expect my order while telling me it is not shipped. I am now requesting a refund. As I read their ******** posts apparently this is a common problem, people wait for months, can't get a refund or a reply. RESOLUTION: Either deliver the product or give me a refund

  I have had two experiences with this company, both of which were disappointing: First, I purchased a travel CPAP machine to use during upcoming travel abroad. The website stated, in relevant part: "Free shipping is available on all domestic orders that total over $99. The CPAP Shop works quickly and efficiently to help get orders out in a timely manner. Most orders ship the same day if an order is placed by 3:00 pm EST Monday-Friday" (emphasis added). My order was placed AND PAID FOR on Friday, December 23, 2022, prior to 3:00 pm. Yet, almost a calendar week later, this company still has not shipped the order. Horrible experience for a full-price cash buyer.Second, my primary CPAP machine, which I purchased from The CPAP Shop, began to malfunction two months ago, after one year of use. I returned the machine to The CPAP Shop for repairs. Two months later, the machine was returned to me and it is still broken! Their proposed fix: I should go another two months without CPAP while they send it away for repair, again! So, in total, I would have four months without access to CPAP therapy while waiting for this company to make right what they made wrong.

  I placed order on 10/25/2022 and from my understanding with website product was in stock orders ship within 24 hours. I have tried to contact out to company through chat and just receive the same information as website waiting to ship ( drop shipment). Asked for refund since product was not shipped and just received don't know if they can do that since was coming from different warehouse. I think it ridiculous for company to charge credit card and have my money without providing any idea of when the order is coming. When it comes to ordering health care supplies I expect timely shipment and arrivals. With no clue when I will receive it is creating me to go through another company to get supplies necessary, while I already spent money on order that have no clue when or if I receive. Please send the product right away or issue a full refund promptly.

  **********************,
  Thank you for your review. Im sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but I really appreciate you bringing this issue to my attention.  We will certainly investigate the reason for the delayed shipment; however, we have taken the liberty of shipping your complete order direct from our warehouse with a multi size mask pack instead of just the large size.  We have also refunded your order in full.  The refund was complete on 11/8 and the tracking indicates an estimated delivery of 11/9.  The Tracking number is 1Z5Y524WYW97033506.
  
  I apologize again for any inconvenience this caused you.

  On 7/12/2022 I purchased from The CPAP Shop a ******** Pilot-24 CPAP back-up battery for my CPAP because I was going on a four day camping trip. After visiting several websites I settled on The CPAP Shop and the ******** battery based on the information on their website. The website states that the average battery charge will last **** hours depending on your machines settings. I was aware my settings are on the high side and would have been satisfied with five hours of performance. I tested the unit upon receiving it and it only lasted 2.5 hours, this would be insufficient for my needs. on 8/2/22 I requested a return of the battery by phone (I sent two emails prior with no response) and I was told batteries cannot returned. Had I known this I would never had made the purchase! I perused their website before/after my request was rejected and could not find any mention that batteries are not returnable, the source of my complaint. This strikes me as being deceptive and misleading.

  **********************,
  
  Thank you for your email. We take customer satisfaction seriously and are glad to hear from you. I would like to apologize for the frustration you've been experiencing recently with the battery run times.  Our team contacted the manufacture directly concerning the lower than expected battery run times.  We provided them with your CPAP settings and confirmed that about 2.5 hours is correct.  The run times can vary depending on the pressure setting and humidity level.  Turning off your humidifier will improve the battery run time.  If you would prefer to return the battery, I would be happy to make an exception and refund your order in full.  A supervisor will contact you within 24 hours to confirm how you would like to proceed.
  
  Please let us know if you have any additional questions,concerns, or comments, or if we may be of assistance at any point in the future.

  
  Best,

  This company is impossible to deal with and they are my only option for CPAP supplies with my insurance. They sent me the incorrect supplies and it was a very long time on the phone to get the correct supplies. I was instructed that a return label would be mailed to me in 4 days (who takes 4 days to email something? ) for the return but it never arrived. I have tried calling but their lines have wait times of 30 minutes that get longer not shorter the longer you wait. In the past they sent me supplies without my approval and the charges are high. I left a message for them to call me back but nothing so far. I do not know what to do -they keep sending me things, **** my insurance company and me and I cannot get anyone to respond to me?My customer account number is *******
