Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005Warning: Reachers may be non-- returnable "medical device"
I went to return a reacher that was over priced by $12 (found one cheaper for a little over $22.00). Unused and had the receipt The the company that retailed the stick would NOT take it back. It's a "medical device" The company should have also printed that on the receipt too. Even if it was posted by the register--it should have been stamped on the receipt--just in case someone doesn't see that-- or call your attention to it BEFORE it's rung up--giving you a chance to say no-- Otherwise......you're trapped! Bonnie how aggravating! I can see that for some "medical devices", but it hardly seems necessary with a reacher. And I agree with you - the customer should be aware of this at the time of purchase.

Bonnie One could easily miss it --even if posted near the register--to the side of it--easily missed It should be pointed out verbally, calling attention to the notice and stamped in the receipt. Bonnie I'm not going to go to that pharmacy anymore--to darn expensive The LOST reacher WAS found.......behind a cabinet with wheels--never saw it--until today. Whomever moved that cabinet picked up the reacher too and just laid it behind the "puter cabinet! Bonnie I filed complaint with the Wisconsin Better Business Bureau--about the drugstore that would not take back the new, unused, unopened one Bonnie P.S. The reacher (the one we submitted to medicare/medicaid) got approved. I should get it today Re: Reacher Sticks Remember....... most of the others were out of pocket purchased Only one ($24) was paid for by medicare/medicaid with a $1 co-pay If choosing a reacher......choose the one that 1) comfortably fits your hands 2) the spring tension feels right when you squeeze the handle and is 3) the right length for your needs and 4) is the right price and quality for you. Shop around......hardware stores may be cheaper if the pharmacies are priced higher Bonnie |
