I received a multi item order a few days and I am pleased, but for one issue. The I.V. fluids that were received.
Of the items ordered were five 500 ml Normal Saline I.V fluids for infusion. Four of the five I.V. fluids are set to expire in February 2020.
That is about seven months away. One of the I.V. bags is set to expire in January 2020.
My experience with I.V. fluid producers is that any newly made I.V. products have a two year shelf. Such brands as "Baxter" and or "Braun" These I'.V. fluids so close to the expiration date. Should have clearly been posted on the website. Allowing the consumer to make an informed decision. I would have not ordered these items even for $9.95 per I.V. bag.
In good faith, I've contacted the company and was sent a return authorization number, but not a shipping label. I've written two emails requesting a return shipping label to send the I.V. fluids back.
There has been no response to my request for a return shipping label
as of the writing of this review. 16 May, 2019
First of all the items were shipped free of charge. In turn, I expect the same courtesy for the return shipment. Second, I did not ask for
"Short dated" I.V. fluids. and would have never ordered said items.
I'm not the one at fault here and will not pay for mistakes that were initiated by Mountainside Medical Equipment.
To have the five 500 ML bags of Normal Saline shipped back to
Mountainside Medical Equipment is going to cost $23.40 USD.
That is nearly half the purchase price of the I.V. fluids for $50 USD
A cost that I'm not willing to accept. Given the genesis of the problem.
My point here is, if Mountainside Medical Equipment is not even willing to do the right thing on the simple and small issue as this. I will never trust them on any significant issues nor deal with this company in the future.
The photos below are the I.V. fluids I, received on 14 May, 2019
The expiration dates are clearly visible on the I.V fluid labels.
I stand by the written statements above as factual.
Mountainside Medical Equipment had their chance to do the write thing.
To resolve this issue and that time has passed.
