FAST SAME DAY & AFTER HOURS DELIVERY
At E Care Medical Supplies, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If something isn't right, we're here to help — just contact us within 5 days of receiving your order (the day it is delivered to you or picked up at our store) and our team will guide you through the process.
Please review our return and exchange policy carefully before you buy and before initiating a return. For health, safety and hygiene reasons, certain product categories, including lift chairs and power recliners, are final sale and cannot be returned. When in doubt, call us first — we're always happy to help find the best solution for you. This policy covers purchases. Rentals are covered by your signed rental agreement (see Rental Equipment Returns below).
Returns at a Glance: Contact us within 5 days of the day you receive your item (delivery or store pickup). Items must be unused, in original packaging, with your receipt and our written return authorization. A 30% restocking fee applies, and delivery fees are non-refundable. Lift chairs, power recliners, hospital beds, mattresses, mobility aids and other items listed below are final sale. Damaged or defective items are handled under the manufacturer's warranty. Questions? Call (713) 695-4939.
How to Initiate a Return or Exchange
Before sending anything back, please follow these steps to ensure your return is processed smoothly and without delay:
Call us at (713) 695-4939 or visit our contact page. Do not send items back without speaking to our team first — returns received without written authorization will not be credited.
Our team will review your request and issue a written return authorization if your item is eligible. A phone call, voicemail, text or email asking for a return is not an authorization, and a request does not mean a return is approved. This step is required — no exceptions.
Repack the item in its original packaging, unused and in resellable condition. Ship to the address provided in your return authorization. Return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility.
All returns are inspected upon receipt. Once approved, a refund or exchange credit will be issued minus any applicable restocking fees and outbound shipping costs.
Return Conditions & Requirements
To be eligible for a return or exchange, all of the following must apply:
- Contact us within 5 days of the day you received the item (the delivery date, or the date you picked it up at our store), with your original receipt. Requests made after 5 days cannot be accepted.
- The item is not on our Final Sale list (see Non-Returnable Items below)
- Item is unused and in new, resellable condition — no signs of wear, damage, odor or use. Sitting in, sleeping in, wearing, or assembling an item beyond a quick check at delivery counts as use.
- Original packaging intact — all tags, manuals, accessories, and packaging materials must be included
- Written return authorization obtained from our team prior to shipping — returns without authorization will not be credited
- Shipped to the correct return address as provided in your authorization — items sent to the wrong address may incur additional shipping fees
Fees & Deductions
Please be aware of the following fees that may apply to your return:
- 30% restocking fee — all approved returns are subject to a 30% restocking fee deducted from the refund amount
- Delivery and setup fees — delivery and setup fees are non-refundable once the item has been delivered
- Return shipping costs — the customer is responsible for all return shipping costs
- Free shipping deduction — if your order qualified for free outbound shipping, our actual outbound shipping costs will be deducted from your refund upon return
- Wrong address fee — if an item is returned to an incorrect address, additional shipping fees to redirect it to the correct location will be charged
- Online order cancellation fee (purchases only) — purchase orders canceled before shipment are subject to a 10% transaction fee on the total order amount. Rental cancellations are covered by your rental agreement.
- Post-shipment cancellations — orders canceled after the item has already shipped are subject to all standard return policies above
Non-Returnable Items
For health, safety, and hygiene reasons, the following items are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged once they have been delivered, set up, or taken from our store. This includes returns for comfort, fit, size, or change of mind. We appreciate your understanding — these restrictions exist to protect the health of all our customers. If a final sale item is damaged or defective, see Damaged or Defective Items & Warranty below.

Final Sale: Lift Chairs, Power Recliners & Large Equipment
Lift chairs, power recliners, mattresses and other large equipment are final sale. Because these items cannot be returned for comfort or fit, we ask every customer to choose carefully before buying:
- Try before you buy: We encourage you to sit in our floor models at our Houston showroom before purchasing. Our team can help you compare seat depth, firmness, height and size.
- Weight capacity and use: At the time of sale, we confirm the item's weight capacity and how you plan to use it (for example, sitting or sleeping). Please tell us your weight and any medical needs so we can help you choose the right model.
- Signed acknowledgment: Lift chair and power recliner purchases require a signed Final Sale Acknowledgment at the time of purchase confirming the item is final sale, its weight capacity, and its intended use.
- Comfort and fit: How a chair feels, including firmness, seat cushion, head or back position, or whether it is comfortable to sleep in, is not a defect and is not grounds for a return, exchange or refund.
- Delivery check: Please check the item with our delivery team before they leave. You will be asked to sign that the item arrived undamaged and working.
Damaged or Defective Items & Warranty
If something is wrong with your item, we will help you, including with final sale items:
- Damage on arrival: Report shipping or delivery damage within 48 hours of receiving the item. Please keep all packaging and send photos of the damage.
- Defects: If an item stops working or has a manufacturing defect, call us at (713) 695-4939. Please do not keep using an item that is not working properly.
- Inspection: We will inspect the item, in our store or at your location, to confirm the problem.
- Warranty repair or replacement: Confirmed defects are repaired or replaced according to the manufacturer's warranty. We will help you file the warranty claim. Final sale items are not refunded.
- Not covered: Normal wear, misuse, use above the stated weight capacity, or damage after delivery is not a defect.
Nothing in this policy limits any rights you have under the manufacturer's warranty or under applicable law.
Not sure if your item qualifies? Always contact our team before sending anything back. Returns received without prior written authorization will not be credited, and we want to make sure your return goes smoothly. Call us at (713) 695-4939 — we're here to help.
Rental Equipment Returns
Returning rented medical equipment works differently from product returns, and is covered by your signed rental agreement. If anything here differs from your signed rental agreement, the signed rental agreement applies. Here's what you need to know:
- Schedule a pickup by phone: Call the store at (713) 695-4939 during regular business hours, Monday through Friday, at least 72 hours before your due date. Same-day pickups are not available, and texts, emails, and after-hours calls do not schedule a pickup. We'll come to your location to retrieve delivered equipment — no need to transport it yourself.
- Store pickups: Equipment picked up at our store must be returned to the store during business hours.
- Return condition: Equipment must be returned complete, clean, and in the same working condition it was delivered. Normal wear and tear is fine; damage, missing parts (charged at replacement value), or loss may result in additional charges.
- Cleaning fee: A $250.00 decontamination fee applies if equipment is returned stained, covered in pet hair, excessively dirty, with an unpleasant odor (including smoke odor), or with body fluids on it. We photograph the equipment at return and share the photos with you before charging.
- Changing a scheduled pickup: Please call us during business hours as early as possible. A trip charge may apply for a missed pickup.
- No refunds on rentals: Rental fees are not prorated and are not refunded, including for early returns. Delivery and setup are non-refundable once the equipment is delivered. Any refund we agree to issue on a rental, other than the return of a deposit, is issued only as store credit, valid for 365 days, unless the law requires otherwise.
