C) Products returned used, damaged, incomplete or missing packaging (up to 100% of the value, but we only deduct true cost of the parts+labour needed to repair the item and cover the drop in re-sale value - This is always fully transparent and a breakdown of restocking will be provided to the customer.)

D) Items that arrive too large for your premises, where you did not measure your property for access and manoeuvrability and compare it with the specification for the product given on the detail page or call us to check first.

We pride ourselves on being as transparent as possible, and only apply re-stocking fees when absolutely necessary and always proportionate to the costs involved with re-selling the item (return costs, repair/inspection/cleaning, drop in resale value).

How do I arrange a return?

Simply give us a call on 08000 23 23 35 with your order number ready, or alternatively email sales@glebehealthcare.com and quote your order number, return reason, and contact details and we will come back to you within 1 working day (usually the same working day) to arrange the collection.

Do I have to pay postage to return something?

If your item is faulty, we will collect it for free on a day that suits you for a full refund or replacement.

If you want to return something that is not faulty (ie. changed your mind), then we can still collect it for a fee taken from your full refund to cover the cost of collection.

Example collection fee rates for non-faulty items from: £15.00 (Anything up to the size of a wheelchair)
£50 (chair or scooter/powerchair)
£80 (chair or scooter/powerchair without packaging)

Postage Refunds on Orders

We include free standard delivery on ALL our items, and as such this charge is already included in all refunds that are given.

Non-Returnable / Cancellable Items

Some items are not cancellable or returnable for both consumers and businesses - These include:

• Made to order / Customised items such as powerchairs, riser recliners and beds.Cushions (once opened)
• Mattresses (once opened)
• Patient handling items such as slings (once opened)
• Bathing & toileting items (such as bath lifters)
• High-demand items ordered in bulk quantities such as hand sanitiser dispensers.

We reserve the right not to accept cancellation for pre-ordered and made-to-order items from business or charitable entities.

A higher level of after-purchase protection as standard.

In the currrent market, many disabled and elderly customers (or their relatives) are faced with a choice: Either spend a huge amount of money with a pushy in-home salesman / high street mobility shop, or take a risk with a much cheaper online seller who may not care for the customer once they have taken their money.

We are committed to bucking this trend and giving our customers an alternative option. We have built our business to combine low prices with the same level of pre-sales advice, after-sales repairs, and maintainence that you would expect from your local mobility workshop.

While our prices are not rock-bottom, we believe that the level of product support we are able to give both before and after the sale offers the best peace of mind, and inevitably the best value for money for our customers. We are also one of the few companies that proudly displays independent reviews on our website from every sale, which showcases our commitment to supporting our customers.
