    Purchased an electric scooter in June, 2023 based on the statement by the sales person named ******* that the cost would be reimbursed by ******** because she knew of other customers who got reimbursed by ******** for their purchases but that Hieline does not file the paperwork with ********* We made teh purchase, went to my orhopedic doctor and got a prescription for the scooter and applied for reimbursement. ******** denied reimbursement based on the fact that ******* is not an approved supplier. I contacted the owner on Sept. 15 2023 and he said we were not mislead and that he would not refund or help in any way. They lied/mislead/misrepresented and then declined to stand good for their statement. These people are dishonest, in my opinion. We should have checked with ******** first but depended on the honesty of our fellow citizens and we were mislead. My hope, since they refuse to do the honorable thing, is that their business fails. A curse be upon them.

    We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience.
    We want to clarify that we never intend to mislead our customers. It's crucial to us that our customers have accurate information about their ******** reimbursement eligibility. However, we do advise our customers to do their own research and contact ******** directly to confirm their eligibility and the status of the supplier.
    We understand your frustration, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you've faced. While we are not a ********-approved supplier, we are committed to assisting our customers in any way we can within our capabilities.
    Regarding your conversation with the owner, we deeply regret that your concerns were not adequately addressed. We take your feedback seriously and will use it as an opportunity to improve our customer service and communication.
    We will explore any possible resolution to this situation.
    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to assist you further in the future.
