Who has the fastest delivery time?

Post by HelpMeBreath » Mon Mar 03, 2008 7:27 am

All loyalty issues aside. Who has the fastest delivery time for masks and accessories (tubing, etc.)?

I have to make some quick decisions.

Have you looked for a medical service in your area where you could go and pick up what you need or have them deliver it????? Just a thought

Cpap.com is the only cpap site I know of that shows the actual stock levels on most products. That way, you know for sure whether they can ship asap or not without needing to call.

cpap plus direct is a mail order place in Orland Park IL. It isnt to far from Milwaukee and you can walk in and purchase if you have an emergency. They are on the internet. If you have the time cpap.com is probably a good choice.

Cpap.com and Tinashomecare.com

I have made several purchases from Cpap.com, and they always shipped out the same day. If cpap.com doesn't have what you're looking for in stock, check out http://www.tinashomecare.com. I have placed several orders with them as well and they also ship the same day.

Good luck!

Right! No BRAINer. Call them up or go in, they will order it because they don't have what you want in stock. Wait for the order to be delivered. (Ten Days, if you get lucky) When order arrives, open box to find they didn't send what you ordered and all the packages were torn open. Call them up to explain why you don't want what you didn't order, and beg them to try again only to find out they can't reorder until you ship the first order back and it's put back in stock. (2 Weeks). Jim

thanks for your total generalization comment, Goofproof, which isn't true, yet goes well with your avatar.

"Guest", probably didn't have time to read my posts about "Lincare Service", he can't be expected to, he has to wait on victims at the DME. Must keep going to get that Corvette. As Patton would say,"Charge".. Jim
