The customer service was great. They helped me learn how to use it, showed me how to fold it for the car, and put it in the car for me. Returning it was so simple. I also needed a better fitting orthopedic boot than urgent care gave me. They had many sizes in stock and helped me get the correct fit. I'm relieved to know about Independent Life Medical Supplies.

The road here was quite convoluted. The exercise band I use for my morning exercises started to…read moretear last week. I had gotten it from Kaiser 2 or 3 years ago. I decided to get another yesterday before my optometry appointment but when I walked into where the store had been I was surprised to be told they no longer sold assistive devices, that the stores had been closed because of slow sales and were now departments. The nice young women working there had several suggestions for places outside Kaiser to get them. Last night I wondered whether Johnston's in South Berkeley might have them so this morning I called them. They do, but their hours are now 8:30 to 12:00, which doesn't work for me, as I'm up late and sleep late, but I was prepared to suck it up and do it. When I went on Yelp to let them know the new hours, Always Care came up. It's directly across from Picnic and I have driven past it countless times, but it really hadn't registered. I called them and they do have exercise bands, so I decided to stop by today as part of my errands. That's exactly what I did, finding parking right in front. I had stopped by Picnic earlier in my errands and had taken a photo of the storefront from across the street. The door was locked, w/ a sign directing patrons to ring the doorbell, which I did. The owner, Stan, let me in and when he looked down and saw my exercise band in my hand he knew who I was. He brought me a new one, one that was longer and stronger than what I had, which was much sturdier than the bands I had had previously from Kaiser's PT department, so I had assumed mine was about the strongest available. Not the case. So mine has been retired and tomorrow I will start using the new one. If I ever need another assistive device I will most certainly come here. All sales are final, which seems reasonable to me.

This company is a joke. Needed a scooter for a weeklong trip to San Francisco. The scooter was…read morescheduled to be delivered at 2:30 on Saturday. We get to the hotel and it is not there. Call the number and they say they can't get in touch with their warehouse, because we arrived a little late and would have to call back in the morning. Call back the next morning (must have the scooter that morning) and first they claim they do not deliver on Sundays, then they say they are trying to reach the driver from the day before, but he is at church. The driver then gets back to them and he says he delivered the scooter to the hotel on FRIDAY and said a rude woman told him to leave it in a banquet room. So we are on the phone with the delivery guy searching the hotel with the hotel engineer and the manager for a mystery scooter. Then another Scootaround employee calls me and says they are bringing another scooter to me. Fast forward a week later, we are leaving to fly home. I arrange for the scooter to be picked up at our hotel at 8 am. Getting on the plane at 10 and the hotel calls me because, you guessed it, they have not shown to pick it up. They literally cannot provide the service their company claims to provide.

Accordingly, I found out that the cabin doors on the Island Princess cruise ship open up to 23.5 inches. So, we specifically ordered their model C-2 electric wheelchair for my wife with a 16" seat and 21.5" overall width (which would give an inch of clearance on each side.) Instead, they delivered a model C-1 with 18" seat and 23.5 " overall width. So for our 16 day cruise we had to scrape the paint off the door jams and/or knock off the side panels of the chair every time we exited or entered our stateroom. We notified them from the ship via our travel agent who never got a return call from their "customer service" dept. No apology or acknowledgement of their error. No rebate/refund of any kind. No nothing.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS. The owner is a dishonest scammer…read more I purchased a wheelchair for my son in August of 2023. It was more than $900 and was more than I could afford, but I purchased anyway thinking it would ultimately be worth it for my son to have more access to things he didn't currently. The wheelchair arrived on 9/2/23. It was damaged in the box, with several bent metal bars that were unable to hook together due to the damage, and brakes that didn't attach properly and didn't work. I contacted the business via the email on their website and informed them of these problems. I was told to "just bend the metal" to make it fit, and to "just follow the instructions" for attaching the brakes. I did both, the metal kind of fit, but didn't feel sturdy, and the brakes simply wouldn't attach. I followed up with this information and the owner agreed to a video call to walk me through the process of attaching the brakes. We were on the call for three hours and this man, the owner of this company and manufacturer of this chair, stated that "the brakes seem defective" and he agreed to send me a new chair with updated brakes. He stated that this would happen at the end of the month (September 2023). I stated that I would prefer a full refund, as it doesn't seem right to send me a product this damaged and I don't think I can trust his products, but I said I would agree to his plan as my son needed a wheelchair and I just wanted this resolved. On 11/2/23, more than one month past when I was told to expect a replacement wheelchair -- I had heard and received nothing. I reached out to the business owner via email to ask for an update and requested a refund. He ignored my request and stated that, "The factory has been messing around with the improved boxes I have asked for. Let me get an update and let you know. Apologies for the inconvenience." This was the last communication I received from him until the next time I reached out. 7/9/24 EIGHT MONTHS AFTER LAST CONTACT -- I sent an email to the business owner, stating I had not received or heard anything, and I would like a refund. He acted like he had no idea what was happening, asked me to provide information about what chair was purchased, and an order number. I supplied all requested information and restated that I was no longer interested in receiving a wheelchair, the only remedy I would accept is a full refund. The owner replied that he will have a new chair sent out tomorrow. I replied with a demand letter stating I want a full refund or I will be seeking legal action. He again replied stating, "I am going to send you a brand new wheelchair" and, six hours later, sent me a tracking number. I replied with the following: "Absolutely not. The time to take this action was 10 months ago. You have had nearly an entire year to make this right. You sent me a defective item, then you made promises that you didn't keep and then you ignored me until I reach out again and then you make more promises that you didn't keep. All the while my son needs a wheelchair in order to access the quality of life he deserves. I have been more than patient with you and I have given you more than enough time to address this issue and you have continuously ignored every request I have made. I will be following through on the legal action outlined in my letter unless you give me an immediate and full refund. I will be returning the chair to sender as I told you not to send it and to give me a refund. This has been a horrendous experience and I do not accept your apology and I do not accept your remedy and I do not understand why it had taken you 10 months to correct this??? This is completely unacceptable and you should be ashamed of your business practices. You have made my son's life exceedingly harder than it already is, and you have limited his ability to participate in the things he needs to do because of this tremendous and unneeded delay. This will be my last communication to you. I hope you will do the right thing and that I don't have to see you in court." He followed up by stating, "The chair is on its way so you can return it but if you look at our warranty policy it says that we have the choice to repair or replace so we're replacing it. I'm sorry for the problems i'm sorry for my tardiness." DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN YOUR BUSINESS.

His team is resourceful and they did not generate excessive work to add cost. For our kitchen / laundry facelift, we updated the flooring, backsplash, lighting, and reconfigured our laundry area. George's crew helped to side vent the dryer which the big box store was unable to do. George gave valuable input on our bathroom design to optimize the small space. He had suggestions for an in-wall toilet, a corner sink, window ledge niche, and talked us out of a doorless shower (thank you!). He knows small spaces very well and was able to place the fixtures in their best locations. George would give us a heads up on our requests that were going to cost more than ~1k. He had some subcontractors come in to help with varying degrees of quality and cleanliness. We are glad he managed the plumbing contractor who had to come back 3 times. His paint jobs varied quite a bit in consistency depending on who was painting. The best part of working with George was that we were expecting our first child, and he worked very hard to complete the project before her due date. To our surprise and delight he totally finished it before she arrived!
