Fast Shipment and Delivery

At ADHME, we understand our customer’s immediate need for the products they order:

• Most of our products are shipped directly by the manufacturer from the warehouse nearest the shipping destination, usually within 24 hours of receipt of payment.
• Please allow 1-5 business days for delivery for most products.
• Special rush or expedited shipping may be available for an additional charge. Please call us with any inquiries.
• All equipment will be shipped directly to your home or work along with all available warranty, service and support documents. Items ordered together may arrive in separate boxes and/or at different times, depending on when and/or where they were shipped from.

Larger Products / Additional Time - Some of the larger products do require additional time-such as adjustable beds, geri-chairs, recliners, custom wheelchairs and lift chairs-before they are shipped and occasionally the manufacturer will run out of a product without us knowing. In any case, we will do our best to have your merchandise delivered to you as soon as possible and notify you by telephone in the event of a delay.

Lowest Price Guarantee

"We will beat any competition’s publicly advertised price on the same exact product(s) after verification."

Please verify with the business the TOTAL cost to you, including any additional option costs and shipping costs. Please make note of their website address prior to contacting us because we will need it to verify the price. Be aware, many web (e-commerce) retailers do not include shipping with the price of their products. Or, they may have a lower cost of a particular product (i.e., wheelchair) but it will not include a necessary option (i.e., footrests). Be forewarned about all the fine print.

Some restrictions apply. For example, we may not be able to compete with "big box" stores such as Amazon or Walmart.

All prices are subject to change without notice.

30-Day Return Policy

We offer a 30-day return policy on most products. However, all returns and/or exchanges must have prior authorization and will be shipped at the customer’s expense to the least costly location as determined by ADHME. A re-stocking fee may also apply depending on the item. To return products, call customer service at 800-956-6616 for instructions and details.

Products must be returned in their original packaging and in like-new, original condition with all of the original documentation included. ADHME reserves the right to refuse or deny any refund or exchange if we conclude the returned product is in other than like-new condition.

For health concerns, some bath safety products and personal use items (commodes, bath benches, shower chairs, nebulizers, etc.) are non-returnable for hygienic reasons. Some of the larger items, such as adjustable beds, custom wheelchairs, lift chairs, geri-chairs and recliners, may not be returnable pending the manufacturer’s discretion or approval. We do our best to provide products that avoid this last possible situation, but cannot guarantee it.
