Ordering
How do I place an order?
Browse the shop, choose any options such as size or pack quantity, and add items to your cart. When you are ready, review your cart and continue to checkout. If you prefer, you can also call our team or request a quote for larger or specialized orders.
Can I place an order by phone or email?
Yes. Our team can help you place an order or answer questions before you buy. Call +1-505-520-3700 during business hours or email info@watchfulalert.com, and include the product names or item numbers you are interested in.
Do I need an account to order?
An account is not required to browse or request information. An account can make it easier to review past orders and reorder frequently used supplies. Healthcare organizations can apply for a business account for institutional ordering.
Can I change or cancel my order after placing it?
Please contact us as soon as possible at +1-505-520-3700 or info@watchfulalert.com. We will do our best to update or cancel orders that have not yet been prepared for shipment, but we cannot guarantee changes once an order has been processed.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Accepted payment methods are shown at checkout. Eligible HSA and FSA cards may be used on qualifying products, subject to your account administrator's rules. Business accounts may be offered invoicing terms following approval.
Shipping & Delivery
How much does shipping cost?
Standard shipping is a flat $9.95 per order, and qualifying orders over $99.00 ship free with standard delivery. Expedited shipping is available on many items for $24.95. Oversized, freight and some specialty items may have different shipping charges, which are shown before you complete your order. See our Shipping Policy for details.
Where do you ship?
We ship to addresses within the United States. Delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and APO/FPO/DPO addresses may be limited for some items — please contact us before ordering if you are shipping to one of these locations.
How long will delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the item, stock availability, your location and the shipping method you choose. Estimated delivery times are shown at checkout and in your shipping confirmation. Carrier estimates are not guaranteed, and weather or carrier delays can occasionally occur.
How can I track my order?
When your order ships, we will email you a confirmation with tracking information where available. You can also use the Track Order page or contact our team with your order number.
How are large items like beds and wheelchairs delivered?
Larger equipment may ship by freight carrier and can require a scheduled delivery appointment. Unless otherwise stated, freight deliveries are typically curbside. Our team will contact you if any additional delivery arrangements are needed for your order.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your return policy?
Returns are accepted on eligible items within the window stated in our Returns Policy. Items generally need to be unused and in their original, unopened packaging with all accessories and documentation included.
Are any items non-returnable?
For health and safety reasons, some items cannot be returned once opened or used — for example, many personal care, incontinence and ostomy products. Custom-ordered, special-order and prescription items may also be non-returnable. Any exceptions are noted on the product page or in our Returns Policy.
How do I start a return?
Contact our team at info@watchfulalert.com or +1-505-520-3700 with your order number and the items you would like to return. We will confirm whether the items are eligible and send return instructions. Please do not ship items back without contacting us first.
What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Please inspect your order on arrival and contact us promptly if anything is damaged, defective, missing or incorrect. Keep the original packaging and, if possible, take photos. We will work with you to arrange a replacement, exchange or refund as appropriate.
When will I receive my refund?
Approved refunds are issued to the original payment method after the returned items are received and inspected. The time it takes for the refund to appear depends on your bank or card issuer.
Medical Equipment
How do I know which product is right for me?
Our product specialists can help you compare features, sizing and specifications. However, we cannot recommend a product for a specific medical condition. Speak with your healthcare provider to determine which product is appropriate for your individual needs.
Does equipment arrive assembled?
It depends on the product. Many items arrive ready to use or require simple assembly; larger equipment may require more setup. Assembly requirements are listed in the product details or manufacturer documentation where available, and our team can answer questions before you order.
Is medical equipment covered by a warranty?
Many products include a manufacturer's warranty. Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer and vary by product. Where available, warranty information is included in the product documentation, and our team can help you contact the manufacturer if you need warranty service.
Where can I find product manuals and instructions?
Manuals and instructions are typically included with the product. Where available, product pages also list downloadable documents. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for setup, use, cleaning and maintenance.
Can product specifications change?
Yes. Product information is provided by manufacturers and may change without notice. If a specific dimension, weight capacity or feature is important to you, please contact us to confirm before ordering.
Insurance & Payment
Do you accept insurance?
Please contact our team or submit an insurance inquiry to discuss your situation. We can explain what information is typically needed and whether we are able to assist with your plan. Coverage and reimbursement depend on individual insurance benefits, eligibility, documentation, and applicable plan requirements.
Will my insurance cover my equipment?
We cannot guarantee coverage for any product. Coverage and reimbursement depend on individual insurance benefits, eligibility, documentation, and applicable plan requirements. We recommend contacting your insurance plan directly to confirm your benefits before ordering.
Do I need a prescription?
Some products require a prescription or order from a qualified healthcare provider, and insurers often require supporting documentation as well. Product pages note when a prescription is required. Coverage and reimbursement depend on individual insurance benefits, eligibility, documentation, and applicable plan requirements.
Can I use my HSA or FSA card?
Eligible HSA and FSA cards can often be used on qualifying products. Eligibility is determined by IRS rules and your account administrator, and some items may require a letter of medical necessity. Please check with your administrator if you are unsure, and keep your itemized receipt.
Can you provide documentation for reimbursement?
We can provide itemized receipts for your records. If you plan to seek reimbursement, ask your insurer or account administrator what documentation they require. Coverage and reimbursement depend on individual insurance benefits, eligibility, documentation, and applicable plan requirements.
Business Accounts
Who can apply for a business account?
Business accounts are intended for healthcare organizations and professional buyers — for example, clinics, physician practices, home health agencies, assisted living and long-term care facilities, schools and other institutions.
What are the benefits of a business account?
Business accounts are designed to simplify recurring and bulk purchasing. Depending on approval, benefits may include volume pricing, quotations, a dedicated point of contact and invoicing options. Specific terms are confirmed during account setup.
How do I apply?
Complete the business account application on our website, or contact our sales team at info@watchfulalert.com. We will review your application and follow up to discuss your organization's needs.
Can tax-exempt organizations purchase tax-free?
Eligible tax-exempt organizations may be able to purchase without sales tax once a valid exemption certificate is on file. Please contact our team to submit your documentation before placing your order.
Can I request a quote for a bulk order?
Yes. Use the Request a Quote form to tell us the products, quantities and delivery location you need. Our team will review your request and respond with pricing and availability.
Products & Availability
What if an item is out of stock?
Stock status is shown on each product page. If an item you need is out of stock or on backorder, contact our team — we can share expected availability where known or help you compare similar alternatives.
Which brands do you carry?
We offer products from established medical manufacturers and brands. Brand names shown on our website are trademarks of their respective owners, and their appearance does not imply endorsement unless stated.
Can you source a product that is not listed on your website?
Often, yes. Our catalog does not include every product we may be able to supply. Send us the product name, manufacturer and item number if known, and our team will check availability.
Do prices change?
Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. The price shown in your cart at checkout, or on an accepted quotation, applies to your order.
Healthcare Partners
Who do you work with as healthcare partners?
We welcome conversations with clinics, hospitals, home health and hospice agencies, long-term care communities, therapists and other care organizations looking for a dependable medical supply partner.
Can clinicians refer patients to you?
Clinicians and care coordinators are welcome to direct patients to our website or team for help sourcing equipment and supplies. Please do not send protected health information through our website forms; our team will arrange an appropriate way to exchange any required documentation.
How do we become a partner?
Complete the partner inquiry form on our Healthcare Partners page or email info@watchfulalert.com. Tell us about your organization and the products or services you are interested in, and our team will follow up.
Are you an authorized distributor for the brands you sell?
Authorization status varies by manufacturer. Where we hold a written authorization, it is noted on the relevant brand or product page. Please contact us if you have questions about a specific brand.
Still have questions?
Our team can help with orders, product details, delivery and returns. For questions about your health or which product is right for you, please speak with your healthcare provider.
