Any order cancelled more than 24 hours after purchase may be subject to the restocking fee (10%), whether the order has shipped or not. If the order has shipped, the customer is also responsible for the return shipping fees.
Refund Process & Timeline
Inspection & Approval
Once your return is received at our authorized service center, our technicians will perform a comprehensive inspection to ensure the unit meets safety and resale standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I return the wheelchair if I just don't like it?
Yes. We offer a 60-day home trial. If you are not satisfied with the comfort or style, you can return it. However, please note that for "Buyer’s Remorse" returns (non-quality reasons), a 8% restocking fee and two-way actual freight costs will be deducted from your refund.
2. Why is there a restocking fee and shipping charge for returns?
Unlike small parcels, shipping a 60-100 lbs medical device via LTL freight is extremely costly. Additionally, every returned mobility device must undergo a 21-point safety inspection and medical-grade sanitization before it can be certified for resale. These fees cover the logistics and technical labor required to maintain our high safety standards.
3.What if the wheelchair arrives damaged or has a technical fault?
If the product is defective or damaged upon arrival, we’ve got you covered! Report the issue within 7 days with photos/videos, and we will either:
- Send a professional technician's parts for an easy fix.
- Arrange a 100% free return or replacement at no cost to you.
4. How do I get the heavy unit back to the shipping company?
Kerdom will handle the logistics. We will schedule a Curbside Pickup via FedEx or UPS Freight.
5. How long does it take to get my money back?
Once the unit reaches our US warehouse, it takes 7-14 business days for our team to complete the safety inspection. Once approved, the refund is issued immediately. Depending on your bank, it may take an additional 3-5 business days to appear on your statement.
6. Can I exchange my wheelchair for a different model?
Absolutely. If the model you bought is too heavy or wide, we can facilitate an exchange. We often waive a portion of the restocking fee for exchanges to help you find the perfect mobility solution.
