  I purchased an electric wheelchair from this company. I paid $1,877.92 It was supposed to have an 350 lb weight limit, I weigh 345 lbs. The chair did not function propperly. It hesitated and jerked. I sent video of how it was preforming. An employee of Med Mart said to me on the phone that it was not supposed to do that. I was told I coiuld return the wheelchair which I did. They recieved it back at the manufacturer and tested the chair and claim it works perfectly. They issued a refund for $1066.08 They are keeping the balance of $811.44 as a restocking fee. My complaint is the chair did not preform well at below the stated weight limit. They stated in an email . "The manufacturer thoroughly inspected the unit and confirmed that it was not defective. While you are within the stated weight limit, being so close to the maximum capacity likely affected the unit's performance. As a result, your refund was processed correctly, deducting the applicable fees." They are admitting that even though I am below the maximuim weight limit, it did operate propperly. I am looking to get a full refund

  Thank you for your feedback.  After thoroughly reviewing your order, we followed protocol and our return policy.  We are an ecommerce website, and we are transparent with our policy throughout the website.  It can be found at the bottom of each webpage and also in the returns tab under each individual item.  I understand your dissatisfaction with the fees, but we are following protocol. When you first contacted us, it was in regards to wanting a different seat, we provided a solution. Then you noted an issue with the turn capability, to which we provided a solution. On January 9th, you determined you did not want to try the suggested solutions and just wanted to return the unit due to it being defective. After this unit was inspected, no defects were found so the order is subject to fees. 

   

  Thank you.

  This chair has been a nightmare since we ordered it for my crippled father on January 19, 2024. The first sign of trouble was literally 3-4 months later when a plastic joint at a critical point on the chair broke clean through, and stopped actuating the leg lift. *** ********* is supposedly the repair contractor for Med Mart, which has been another awful experience. It's now February 2025, and not only has the chair NOT BEEN REPAIRED, the chair is completely non-functioning. My ONLY contact has been with a repair guy ONE STATE AWAY in ** named Mike who is the only reason I'm not suing Med Mart and *** *********. The delivery was $300 and it was botched because the company sent the wrong chair. The warranty was another $450 and so far has amounted to nothing but USED parts. I have proof because the original motor and actuator arm is still sitting on my dad's coffee table. USED parts were used to "fix" the chair to at least get it functioning...MONTHS after we tried multiple times to get Med Mart to do anything about the problem. Mike said he wasn't even supposed to put "used parts" in the chair, but over ONE YEAR later, Med Mart and *** ********* have done absolutely nothing to provide warranty repair for this chair. In addition to this complaint, I'm filing an injunction against them in the state of Ohio's state department consumer protection office and in **** ******** against *** *********. We paid almost $3500 for this piece of s**t chair and it's been nothing but a headache, meanwhile my father has had cellulitis TWICE due to not being able to elevate his feet. I'm seeking advice from an attorney and justice will be served against this piece of s**t company. I've had enough. Nine out of the last 12 months this chair has been broken and nothing has been done. Literally, nothing, except used parts and the chair is STILL broken. Our family wants a full refund or there will be h**l to pay.

  Thank you for your feedback and the opportunity to look into your order. I apologize if the customer experience was less than satisfactory, we strive to provide a seamless experience for every customer.  I followed up with ***, this is the company who fulfills our protection plans. They provided me with the documentation from their visit in December. I was informed there has been communication on the follow up visit. We are happy to assist with all product issues, but we rely on *** for the technician visits. If there is anything else we can help facilitate, please let us know.  If not, please stay in touch with ***, as they will schedule the follow up tech visits, if necessary. 

   

  Thank you.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.

  
  

  
  

  So we're being tossed off to *** *********? We didn't buy the chair from *** *********, we bought it from MedMart. The chair cost almost $3500 and it's been broken 9 out of 13 months. While it's fine that the repairs are being completed by an outside contractor, NOTHING has been done to this point and *** wanted to charge us $185 for a tech to come out because we used our "2 free per year," which was NEVER communicated to us at purchase. The first two tech visits resulted in NOTHING being replaced other than with used parts, which he told us was "not proper protocol." Okay, so he's doing it of his own accord, and if he didn't, this chair would still be non-functioning. Now those used parts have blown up and the chair is back to nonfunctioning. And you expect us to just forget about the fact that we bought this chair from MedMart? Where is your customer service? This chair is defective, and we saw the part that broke. The joint between the motor's servo arm and the frame to lift the front leg rest is made of plastic!? Of course it's going to break under the stress. My father weighs 180lbs at most, and this chair apparently can't handle even a small man's weight without breaking at crucial areas. This chair, for the money, is such poor quality that I'd hate to see the cost for one that actually is good quality.

   

  This is unacceptable. We bought the chair from this company and something needs done to compensate for this ridiculousness. And my father has cellulitis occurring in his legs because the chair breaks so much he can't elevate his legs. We have a nurse who can easily provide proof, plus we have the medical bill. MedMart doesn't care about the elderly or the patients who need to use their poor quality products. Just toss us off to a third party in ******** and let them deal with it. Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

  We understand your frustration. However, we are not passing you off to ***.  *** is our trusted vendor for repairs in your area. After continued review of your order, I understand the initial chair delivered was missing some of the purchased functions. While this error was being remedied, the original chair was kept for use until the correct chair was received in April. We were notified in November, after 7 months of use, that there was an issue with the chair. Utilizing used parts is not typical protocol, however, the technician did this for a faster solution because of a backorder on the required parts.  Last week, the manufacturer shipped the warranty parts to the *** technician, he will be scheduling this follow-up visit for.

  * Has the company addressed the issues of this dispute? No, they have not. The only company to respond to us is ****** ************, the manufacturer of the chair. Med Mart has literally said nothing, done nothing, and couldn't care less. If this is what constitutes a "BBB A+" rating, I'll be sure to skip businesses with such ratings.
       * If not, why? I don't know why they haven't. My wife is now involved and Med Mart apparently is speaking with ******, but won't reach out to us. This is the worst customer service. We also found and have evidence of discrepancies in the verbiage between Med Mart and ******** websites regarding the chair warranty they offer. ****** specifically states that they don't issue refunds, but Med Mart's warranty mentions NOTHING related to refunds or that a refund isn't an option. That's deceptive advertising at best, predatory at worst. Why would the distributor's warranty verbiage be different from the manufacturer's, especially in an area as important to consumers as refund policy?
       * If an offer of resolution was made, has the company fulfilled the proposed offer? There has been zero offer of resolution. Supposedly, replacement parts for this poorly manufactured chair arrived on 2/26/25, but no one from *** ********* has bothered to contact us to let us know or to schedule the repairs. This has gotten so far out of control, and it's clear that ALL THREE of the involved companies have no motivation or concern for my father's health, the function of this chair, or making it right with a full refund or replacement of this garbage chair. Why? It think it's clear: they know this chair is junk and they charge an arm and a leg for it anyway while selling a bunk warranty that doesn't cover anything. And then *** ********* tries to charge $185 per service charge - which is NOT spelled out in the warranty - for any visit over 2 per year. Why is that specified in the warranty? Because they know the chair is so poor quality that it will require more than 2 service calls per year, so they can make money off the elderly with repairs.

  This is beyond the pale of normalcy, and something must be done. I'm contacting the media. Our family will not let this rest until Med Mart, ****** ************, and *** ********* come to terms with their failure to provide a quality product or service to an elderly person who's been having health issues directly related to this chair. We're working with ********* Hospice now and he's receiving daily nurse support. They will provide testimony if need be that the lack of elevation of his legs is the DIRECT cause of his cellulitis and other complications related to this malfunctioning chair. We've brought in THREE other non-lift chairs, but our father is too infirmed to be able to use them. This is not about lack of care, this is about an inept trio of companies selling junk products to unsuspecting people.

  Regards,

  ******* *********

  This equipment was repaired on 3/7/2025, however, I truly do understand the frustration when equipment does not work, and maintenance is needed. I am sure we can all relate to this in some way. Medmart assists in repairs, however we partner with technicians across the country to service our equipment. *** is the company that fulfills our protection plans.  ****** Technology does not sell direct to consumers, the policies ****** has in place are directed at their authorized network retailers. Medmart’s policies are in place for the consumer.

  There may be a refund coming, but the refund offer negates $1100.50 of "rental" charge, deletion service, and the part of the protection plan we "used" (which is ironic given that part of the major problem with this whole situation is that the chair wasn't repaired for months due to parts being returned, an illegitimate $185 service fee when the chair hadn't even been repaired a single time at that point, and other issues that speak to the lackluster quality of the ****** line of lift chairs). I will not accept anything as a resolution at this point until such time as the chair is picked up by ****** and the refund issued by Med Mart. But given that we're not even getting a full refund for all the pain and suffering of my father and our family is quite telling how Med Mart views its customers. Keep your profit; it will be the last penny you ever receive from our family. Levin Furniture sells a much better quality lift chair than a medical company - we checked and took pictures and video. The ******** Flex Steel lift chair is demonstrably higher quality than the ****** line of chairs in every key area. If that's not Twilight Zone levels of crazy, I don't know what is. While we are happy to receive anything back at this point, the whole situation has been blamed on us, the customers, forcing us to resolve it by involving the BBB. It should NEVER have swelled to this level.

  Thank you for your feedback, although I am not positive what your dissatisfaction is.  Our records show that we came out for a repair in 12/28, but the unit was working.  We are happy to schedule another trip, but have no record of this request.  I will have a service coordinator reach out so we can get you scheduled.

  I purchased a lift chair for my elderly parents December 9th online. The purchase price was $1924.23. To my surprise this price does not come with in home delivery and set up. The chair was delivered December 17th and the delivery company refused to bring it in the house. My elderly mother was distraught and told them to take it back. There was nothing she could do with it. I called the company and was told In-home delivery and setup is a separate and additional charge service. Completely unacceptable and unbelievable that furniture ordered from a medical equipment specialty store does not come with in-home delivery and set up. The amount of money spent should include total and complete delivery and setup. Why would this furniture purchase and delivery be different than any other piece of furniture purchased from another retailer. This is ridiculous and a scam. Deplorable when their target demographic is the elderly and disabled. Are they billing ********? Furthermore, the company wants to charge me 15% restocking fee for a return, which is $288.63! I want ALL of my money back!! I will seek an elderly advocate group and get an attorney if I have to.

  Hi *****, 

  Thank you for your feedback.  We have been in touch as this concerned has been raised on other platforms.  We apologize for the inconvenience, however, when you purchase something online the item is drop shipped from the manufacturer and delivered by a carrier and left at your door.  This is typical practice for ecommerce websites (most people are familiar with ****** in today's world).  We do offer a 'white glove' service which means we will have the item shipped to a technician, who unpackages it, sets it up and delivers it into your home.  Your order came through organically, meaning you did not place the order with a sales representative.  The white glove option is present at check out with a description of what this means and how much it costs.  As a local customer to one of our retail locations, we were able to have the item reconsigned to the local store and have collected payment and added white glove service to this order, as the shipment was refused at delivery.  Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience. Our website is transparent about the delivery options, and we also have customer service and sales representatives available to assist if needed. Please let us know if further assistance is required.  If not, once your chair arrives here, we will call to schedule delivery.

  The company is a medical supply and furniutre company, not ******.  You specilize is servicing the elderly and/or individuals with mobility issues. These individuals will always need their medical equipment and/or furniture delivered inside the home.  Your business structure cannot mirror ******.  To charge an additional fee to have medically necessary items installed in the home seems unethical.  With this said, I did pay the additional "white glove" fee to have the chair brought inside my elderly mother's home, but to date, 12/26/2024, I still do not have the chair.  How "white glove" could a service be when it takes this long to have an very expensive item delivered. Until the chair is delivered and in our possession this case is not resolved.

  I purchased a mobile chair lift for outside my home, it worked once then stopped the service guy said I was doing something wrong but it worked a few more times and has stopped again. I called to request service, it has been nine days and I have called several times asking for service. The service guy called and said he wasn’t able to come over and asked if he could Saturday morning because of a family issue. I said fine. He never showed up or called me. I called this morning and have not heard back. I paid in full over $6,000 I am blind, 89 years old but I am not stupid. I know how to operate a chair. They treat me as if I’m doing something wrong. It is easy to operate. It will not work. I have sighted friends and family and no one else can make it work. Please help either get it repaired once and for all or uninstall it and return my money. I am going to have surgery in January and would like to be able to use my chair.

  Regarding complaint #************* On behalf of ******* ****. This is my mother. (Blind) 89 yrs. She had back surgery January 6th and as of today still in the hospital. She will be returning home in two weeks. The chair lift purchased early December has worked 7 times the battery replaced and stopped working again since we filed complaint before Christmas. The last service call Was January 3 by a James J******. He said the chair needs a new circuit board. Then a snow storm hit and my mother is in the hospital. She paid $6,0000.00 in full for a brand new chair and is unable to use it. We need it working for when she returns home. Please. Help. I contacted the service department myself and they always say we will have someone contact you and they fluff us off. They said well a refund is not going to happen because it’s 30 days old but it has only worked seven days. And they fluff us off for repair for several days and when they do show up something else needs replacement. Please!

  Thank you for your continued feedback. A technician went out and the unit is operational.  He states there was ice falling out of the unit, this is an outdoor unit so the weather can affect the functionality.  It is my understanding that the unit is covered, but with these extreme temperatures and snowfall, we can still see issues with outdoor units.  Replacement of this unit is not necessary as this is not a manufacturing defect, see below the timeline of events/operation timeline. It seems outside, uncontrollable factors are playing a role.  The issues reported are not consistent and have been remedied at each tech visit. Per BBB customer's daughter is involved and to my knowledge we have not spoken with her, but communicate with the customer directly.  Our ADA manager/scheduler would be happy to speak with her further if she would like.

  On 8/7/24 I ordered two Halo Safety Rings for my Wife’s hospital bed. I first spoke to a sales person and was assured the rings would work on that brand of hospital bed. On 8/13/24 I received the rings and tried to install them it but was clear that they weren’t right for that model of bed. The bed frame wasn’t wide enough for the clamps to mount firmly and the cross brace couldn’t be installed at all because of an interference. Installing them resulted in an unstable and dangerous situation so I was forced to remove them to return to them Med Mart. On 8/22/24 I received an email authorization to ship the package and a return shipping label. I dropped off the package at *** that day. The package was delivered to Med Mart on 8/29/24. It has now been fourteen weeks and I still haven’t received my refund. I contacted them several times and got apologies and promises but still no refund.

  I am submitting this complaint because it has been thirteen weeks since the return process has begun. I believe MedMartOnline has acted in bad faith throughout the process. August 27, 2024 chair was ordered online, $1581.64 charged to my debit card August 30, 2024 chair was received at my home. September 1, 2024 return request filed online with MedMardOnline September 17, 2024 Return Authorization email received September 20, 2024 Chair picked up a by R & L Carriers for return at my expense September 23, 2024 Chair received at Pride Mobility Products (the manufacturer). I called them for confirmation and was told it was received in good condition and they notified MedMartOnline same day. I then called MedMartOnline to inform then of this fact. October 1, 2024 received email acknowledging completed return. Email states refund may take up to 4 weeks. November 6, 2025 received email stating refund details, total refund by their calculations $1085.17. Their calculations include a 25% restocking charge but their own documentation (highlighted attachment ) states a 15% charge. I am requesting a refund of $1180.27 to be issued to the debit card used in this purchase. I arrived at this amount as follows: $1265.31

  Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for any inconvenience. We will authorize an additional refund to meet the 15% fee, we are human and this was an honest mistake.  Your order is in chargeback status since you have filed a dispute with your banking institution.  We are not able to process a refund until that is settled. We will handle this with the bank and authorize an additional refund of $74.43.

   

  Thank you.

  Hi *****,

  The transaction was made May 4th 2024. A hospital bed in the amount of $5533.38. I bought a bed that was supposed to have a four inch length extension. After I received the order it was discovered that the bed could not be extended. I’m seeking a refund or an exchange for the bed.

  Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for any inconvenience.  After reviewing the notes on this, the manufacturer of the bed confirmed the 4 inch extended can be used with this bed. The foot board will not be able to attach with the extender in place.  The item  received can accommodate the necessary extension. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  Original order October 5, 2024 .... ***** arrived with WRONG chair, I refused it, chair sent back immediately on that truck .... Driver had it on his truck ... I did NOT take possession of it .... Right then, I called Med Mart to tell them of the situation, and asked them to remake chair with correct configuration. Been a nightmare trying to get anyone to call me back ... Been 35 days since original order .... Has been 15 days since I asked Julie B***/Kristin to call me back with a SHIPPED order confirmation .... Getting the run-around I did include additional request to add Light kit with turn signals for $900 .... but the order still has NOT been placed, 15 days later ... Takes only a few minutes to submit an order to *******, the chair makers, who then will take some time to create the correct vehicle Med Mart has my money .... I have no chair .... As a paraplegic, I need chair transport for mobility ... Why can't one of these Managers pick up a phone and confirm the order is in process .... I have called EVERY day, and only take to a receptionist who can only "email" the bosses .... Frustrated and stranded .... ***** *******

  Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for any inconvenience.  I looked into your order and see that the light kit was paid for and the order was placed.  These orders typically take 5-7 business days to ship out, please be on the lookout for tracking sent to your emails once we have it. 

   

  Thank you.

  "NO".... I have NOT received any tracking email for the chair order, nor any receipt for the light kit that is to be installed on the chair prior to delivery ... Med Mart does not care about customers ... How are they still in business if they chase away their cash-paying-clients? .... I feel extra bad for those using insurance
  
  At this point, I'm not sure Med Mart even has my chair ordered/in production .... Being a paraplegic is a prison of it's own, and being held hostage by a chair company makes it much worse .... Med Mart already has my money .... I feel cheated .... ***** *******

  I am extremely sorry for your continued frustration.  This is a customer order, so the length of time after placing order is extended. We took additional payment for your requests on 11/11 and placed order.  The estimated ship time from the manufacturer is 12/16.  We will send tracking once it is input from the manufacturer. 

   

  Thank you.

  Nothing has been done by Med Mart ... No response back .... I was asking for an INVOICE, showing my chair had been ordered, and the date it should expect to arrive .... I have NONE of these yet .... As of Dec 4 2024, I know absolutely no more than I did back on November, when Kristin SAID I would be receiving email of the invoice, showing "order placed" .... Nope, never happened.

  I understand your frustration, but we have worked this order as quickly as we could.  We collected the necessary payment for this custom order on 11/11, once we received payment we submitted order to *******.  These are custom items so they take time to manufacture.  The order is and has been placed.  We were provided an estimated ship date of 12/16, once this item ships, tracking will be provided.  Until we have that, I am not sure what else I can provide to you.  Please rest assured this order has been placed and is being processed.  I know how important this product is, but like I previously mentioned it is a custom order so it takes time.

  I am still frustrated that I do NOT have the invoice of chair ordered ... It was promised to be sent to my email immediately, and it was not

   

  There's an expectation in society that a Customer receives an invoice when a big item is ordered .... Afterall, Med Mart has my $6, 273.00 for powerchair, and $963.00 for the additional light kit/installation .... I have nothing except a credit card bill from October 5 that had to be paid in November

  Your order information was emailed to you outside of this platform since there is personal information on this document.  I also provided tracking again.  With the holidays, it has taken longer than usual.

  I am writing to complain of false advertising by MedMart. On June 16, 2016, my 86 year old mother purchased a Stair Lift from MedMart. She wanted to stay in her home and do laundry in the basement. Mom was told prior to purchasing the Stair Lift that MedMart promised a $500 “Peace of Mind” StairLift BuyBack Guarantee” for the time when Mom would no longer need the Stair Lift. She paid $2,645.00 for the Stair Lift. Early in 2024, my mother decided that it was time for her to move to senior care. Mom had just turned 94 years old. She moved in March 2024 and died in July 2024. On March 6, 2024, I called MedMart at ###-###-####, Ext. ***, and spoke with Yvonna. I asked Yvonna to set an appointment to have the Stair Lift removed and asked for the $500 Buyback Guarantee to be paid to my mother. Yvonna said that MedMart would not honor the $500 “Peace of Mind” StairLift BuyBack Guarantee”. Yvonna said that the Stair Lift was “too old” and that MedMart would not only refuse to honor the guarantee but furthermore would charge my mother $159.95 for the first hour and $69.00 for each 30 minutes thereafter that it took to remove the Stair Lift. On April 16, 2024, my husband called and discussed the matter with Dave M**** of MedMart who also refused to honor the “guarantee”. I was astonished at MedMart’s reply. Mom had relied on MedMart’s promise to buy back the Stair Lift when she was done with it. Nowhere in MedMart’s ads does it say that there is a time limit on their “guarantee”. MedMart had continued to use the phrase “Peace of Mind” StairLift BuyBack Guarantee” in their local advertising during the entire term of Mom’s ownership. MedMart continues to use that phrase to this day in their ads. We did not pay MedMart to remove the Stair Lift. We used another company which charged Mom $295.63 to remove the Stair Lift. I feel that MedMart owes my mother/her estate $795.63 ($500 guarantee plus $295.63 removal fee) since they reneged on their guarantee.

  Thank you for the feedback and we apologize for any inconvenience. As shown in the 2016 and 2024 advertisement you supplied, there is not a dollar amount on our advertisements for this service.  As the buy back amount varies on multiple factors. The only submitted documentation where it states we offer a $500 buyback is in your notes, not the actual ad.  I cannot speak to the conversation which was held in 2016 or in March of this year, however, if this was an obstacle you were facing, upper management should have been involved at the time the unit was being removed. We cannot offer a buy back on a unit that we will not be getting back at this point.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, re****s for rejection are included below.

  
  

  
  

  If we could not rely on the representations of MedMart's "District Sales Manager" Chris M****** who came to Mom's home in 2015 and 2016 to sell the stairlift to Mom, who were we supposed to rely on?. When I contacted Yvonna on March 6, 2024 and she refused to honor the MedMart "Buyback Guarantee" and then later spoke with Vyonna's manager at MedMart, Dave M****, on April 16, 2024 and he refused as well, how much higher up the chain of management at MedMart was I supposed to go?  Yvonna did not offer to send anyone to evaluate whether the stairlift could be re-used as a rental unit or resold.  She simply said it "was too old".  It was in like new condition having only been used to go to the basement laundry room.
  

   

  My late husband purchased a stairlift from MedMart in 2015.  When he died in 2020, MedMart came out and removed the stairlift at no charge to me and issued a $500 "Buyback" check which I received about a month later.

   

  I expected the same treatment when my Mom no longer could use her stairlift.  Instead Yvonna said that MedMart would charge Mom $159.95 for the first hour of labor to remove the stairlift and $69 for each 30 minutes therafter.  I did not want to further enrich a company that was treating us so poorly.  Instead I called *** ******** to do the work.
  
  I am very displeased with MedMart's cavalier attitude.

  My husband, *** ***, purchased a HandiCare Stairlift Model ***** from MedMart in 2015 for $2,645 from their District Sales Manager, Chris M******.  When Jim died, I contacted Sandy at MedMart at ###-###-####.  Sandy had been our contact person for maintenance and repair for the StairLift.  Sandy sent out MedMart employees to remove the StairLift at no charge and sent a $500 Buyback check which I received on -3-08-2021.

   

  My mother tried out ***** StairLift at our home and thought she would like to have one so she could stay in her house and continue to do laundry in the basement.  Mom purchased the same HandiCare Stairlift Model RH 950 in 2016 from MedMart's Chris M****** at the same price of $2,645.  I tried to reach Sandy on March 6, 2024 after my mother decided it was time for her to give up her home but Sandy no longer worked for MedMart.  Instead, I was turned over to Yvonna  at ###-###-#### **** who offered absolutely no help in removing the StairLift except to say we would have to pay for removal at a high hourly rate and refused a Buyback in total.  We were shocked but Mom was sick and needed to move.  We again called MedMart on April 16, 2024 and spoke with Yvonna's "supervisor" Dave M****.  He also refused any help.

   

  I am not pleased with MedMart's decision and that they treated Mom's Buyback request in 2024 totally differently than they did my husband's Buyback in 2021.

   

  I will, however, accept their offer of only $130.63 so that I can put this matter behind me.  If MedMart will make the check out to me, ****** ***, and send it to **** ******** ***** ******* **  ****** it would be appreciated.

   

  Again, thank you so much for your assistance.
