Charges are determined by the carrier's tariffs. Special shipping requirements such as expedited shipping or HAZMAT handling are subject to a service charge.

Report all shipping related claims and any discrepancies at receiving to shipping@medequipdepot.com within 48 hours and send us photos and a detailed description of the damage that occured.

Expiration Dates: The manufacturers do not guarantee shipment of any specific expiration date or lot number and will charge a restocking fee on products returned that meet their shipping policy. Those restocking fees and return shipping charges will be deducted from the credit memo that will be applied against the original invoice.

Cancelations & Returns: 

Orders can be canceled if they have not been processed with our vendors. Contact orders@medequipdepot.com and support@medequipdepot.com with your order number and reason for cancelation.

Orders cannot be canceled once they have shipped from our vendors. In some situations, we may be able to process a return. Restocking fees and shipping charges may apply. Contact returns@medequipdepot.com with your order number and reason for return.

Our return policy is the same as the manufacturers we buy from. Some manufacturers permit returns with or without a restocking fee. Others do no accept any returns. This return policy is standard in the medical industry.

For products that can be returned, you must obtain a written authorization from us to return the item. Returned items must have an assigned RMA# written on the outside of the box. Items must be returned in the original box with the original packaging. They must be received in new / unopened / unmarked / re-sellable condition. Return freight must be pre-paid and a restocking fee may be assessed. Custom manufactured products that are made to order with your specified size, wood or laminate color, material or upholstery pattern/ color are non-returnable. To request an RGA #, click here.

Once a custom product has gone into production at the factory, we won't be able to cancel it. Custom orders are non-refundable and non-returnable.

We cannot guarantee requested expiration dates, and restocking fees will apply if the product complies with the manufacturer's shipping policy. Please refer to the section on Expiration Dates for more details.

Storage and handling charges will be assessed when the customer or their agent cannot or will not accept delivery of an order as scheduled to the original agreed upon ship-to address. Storage, handling, re-consignment fees (to a different address) and related charges will be invoiced to the customer's account. 

Storage costs begin to accrue on the date the product is transferred to storage. These costs will typically begin within a couple of days after the product arrives at the local truck terminal. You agree to be billed for these charges in the event they are necessary.

Packaging: All of our products are sold in original packaging, and packed carefully to avoid damage in shipping. All furniture is automatically boxed except for some of our patient room furniture. Some of these pieces are shipped blanket wrapped to certain areas unless otherwise specified by the customer. 

Warranty:  Warranty depends upon the manufacturer of the product. Warranty on some products is included with the description. Please contact us regarding specific warranty information.
