Order Requests

How do I know my order has been processed?

You will receive a confirmation via email of shipping when your order is processed.

 

What is the difference between an order request and an order?

Due to the involved verifications needed to meet requirements for shipping we cannot guarantee all products ordered will be shipped. Our customers must meet documentation and medical necessity guidelines. We will keep you informed of any changes or issues arising from your request.

 

How do I cancel or change my order after it has been processed?
All orders are processed to our warehouse immediately and cannot be cancelled.


Do you collect sales tax?

Customers in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Ohio, Texas and Washington will be charged sales tax for items not covered by insurance.  Orders shipped to all other US States are not taxed.
