SMH. There is about a 50/50 chance you will get screwed because you don't know what you are doing.

That's awful late to be looking into this the morning you are going to pick up the machine. Do you buy a car like that? The dealer calls you and tells you that your car is ready to pick up, and you go to the dealership with no idea what car they have for you??

My CPAP machine is more important to me than my car.

Wow, I was just asking for help in something that I'm new to. I just found this website this morning and thought maybe it could help. I now know I was wrong in that. Have a good one y'all and I will be deleting my account if possible

If it is not too late, call and find out the exact model of machine they have ready for you. Then, post the model here to get an evaluation.

You might want to wait until next week to pick it up after you are sure you are not getting a substandard machine. Many DMEs won't make an exchange after you have taken delivery of a machine.

I am very confused. I look at the two statements, above (from two separate posts) and I can't quite get my head around what parts are correct. Are you new at this or have you had ten years in which to prepare?
The statement made by Hang Fire that prompted you to respond as you did in statement 2 seems to be somewhat on point. Nevertheless, if you truly want assistance, provide as much information as quickly as you can - if you have ever had an incentive to cram for an exam, now is the time. So, don't get peeved, get busy - you are the only one who will benefit.

You were right to start with. Now you are wrong. Don't be a pouter.
