Misleading advertisement and poor service after the sale
This review is regarding the online arm of CPAPstore Las Vegas: CPAPstoreUSA. I bought a Philips headgear that was advertised as an "online special." The page did not say that it was a clearance item, that fact will be important in a minute. The headgear is so old, even though it was unopened, that it was totally dry-rotted. It looked fine in the package, but as soon as my wife slipped it on and removed it, it literally fell apart. I immediately contacted the store, sent pictures and requested a refund. Their first response was to tell me that it was a brand-new, unopened item. The inference was that I was somehow scamming them with pictures of an old headgear and that they would not issue a refund. I suggested that they remove one from the package and check it themselves with their remaining stock which, to their credit, they did. Next, they sent me a picture of the one they un-packaged. It was clear in the photo they emailed that their "new" item was also beginning to separate at a fold as well. In that response they indicated that the headgear was a "clearance" item and, per their policy, there were no refunds on clearance items. I again asked for a refund, and advised them that I had not yet reviewed their product online, but that if they continued to stonewall me, I would post a review and it would not be flattering. Their last response was that they did not appreciate my "threat' of a negative review. It was not a threat in any way. This is an accurate and truthful accounting of their poor customer service.
Update 6/24/25. Nearly a year later, the CPAP store responds with a message that conveniently misses the whole point. Yes, the package they sent me was unopened. I had to open it in order to determine that the product they sent was very old stock, and dry rotted in its package. The "obvious signs of use" they refer to are simply the dry rot of the product. I contacted them the same day that I got the package, I was never able to use it because it was literally disingrating in my hands.
