Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

In mid-October, 2009, I placed an order on gosouthernmd.com for an AC charger for my Inogen One oxygen concentrator.  There was nothing on the web site which indicated that the item was not in stock.  In December, they informed me that not only was the item not in stock, but it was no longer available from the manufacturer.  They demanded an additional $100 for the replacement part, a universal power adapter (bait and switch).  I paid the additional $100.  On Dec 30, 2009, I received an email stating that the order had been shipped, and tracking information would follow.  I never received any tracking information or the order.

 

I have been calling and emailing since then, with no results.  I've heard excuses, "oops, it slipped through the cracks,"  "that's why [person]'s not working for us anymore," "we just found out Inogen doesn't drop ship any more," and "it will be shipped on Friday" ....

 

More than a few weeks ago, I asked them to provide proof that the item had been shipped, or to provide a refund.  I STILL HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING!!!!!  Yesterday, Robert Remick promised to call Inogen to resolve the problem, and call me with the resolution at the close of business (5 pm Arizona time).  I received no call.  I am beyond FED-UP!  I need this item or I wouldn't have ordered it.

We had a great experience with Robert and his company GSM.com, after a lot of research we found there price to be much less than any where else.



We ordered a new Pride Victory 10 3 wheel in blue and received it fast, from Dallas to Northern VA in 5 days, UPS damaged one of the wheels by ramming the box with a fork lift and Robert had a new wheel sent to us pronto and he is taking care of the claim with UPS, totally outstanding service.



We initially bought an Active Care scooter online from someone else at first but cancelled it at the end of the day we ordered it because they lied to us about the weight capacity that the manufacturer verified, this other company charged me $150 restocking fee which we were not able to recover, that is a ripoff to charge $150 to put it back in the warehouse.



You can rest assured gosouthernmd.com will give you outstanding service.

Orders Processed Since 2006

We are alive and well.  Competitors try to shut us down because we are selling to low(this is for a reason) to save you money.  10 out of almost 50,000 just wont give it up and are still bothering us months later.  They got their order and we will simply not do what it is not right and these people are still trying to take us down.  We are still alive and kicking and 6 years later we are still providing the great service and prices like we have done for almost 50,000 strong in what I think is the hardest industry to sell retail supplies in.  But guess what we are real good at it and there is a lot of people that differ from your ridiculous opinions.  Please see below as an illustration.  Case in fact, the last person said that they got the product but they are still bad mouthing us months later.  You people have no clue what it takes to do what we do and as the middle man, we go though so much behind the scenes.

Thanks and good luck.  We will still be here when you need us again.  This time why dont you try working with us and make it a win-win for everyone.

When my husband inquired about a difficult-to-find small inexpensive part, everyone was so courteous and personable, we were amazed. We had searched a long time for a set of tall wheel extenders to fit my older Guardian walker, and we asked a lot of questions, but the rep's patience and volunteer extra research on our behalf resulted in success. Finally we have extenders that fit properly! We were so pleased and grateful for the quality service and terrific prices, we added a snazzy Medline rollator to our order. Care and attention to detail like this are found rarely to never these days. Our thanks for everything, GoSouthernMD.com, you are our new go-to supplier for all medical equipment and supplies!"NJ in Houston"Thank you for the follow up. The portable concentrator was delivered late this afternoon.I am very pleased with the unit and service I received."Terry in Chattanooga"My order was received this morning on Thursday, May 15, 2008 by UPS in good condition.

Thanks!"Bryan B. in Fresno"Hi, just letting you all know that the order arrived at the Las Vegas address yesterday while I was still there and everything was great - the low profile cushion may actually be a better "fit" for my father after all, and the extra 16x16 cushion made it usable in his favorite chair. Thanks again, I appreciate the personal attention."Corey in Las Vegas"Customer service and all at GoSouthernMD.com, can I say what a fabulous company you are. I live in England and am coming to Virginia on vacation and wanted to rent some aids for my disabled husband. I have spent two months searching via Chambers of Commerce, Tourist Guides and anything else I could think of and was told that there was no-one in the Virginia area who rented such products. Then a couple of days ago someone suggested I try www.gosouthernmd.com and now I have found the right company and got the right product reserved and paid for ready for delivery to my resort. It is such a relief to know that this is sorted out as it will give both my husband and I great peace of mind to know that we have the same mobility aid on vacation as we have here in England. You really are fantastic and I shall certainly come to you first if I plan any more trips to the USA."Pam K. in London"Thanks so much. I finally located the order. UPS screwed up. Can you imagine that? LOL You are the greatest. Now get some sleep. I should have the scooter in time for my wife's knee surgery."Henry in Lexington"Very easy, organized website. Found just what I was looking for and you had several more items that I will need!"Leslie in Rhode Is."Thanks customer service; the package is set for delivery today. I left a message for the delivery person. Have a nice weekend and thanks again for your follow-up."Rob in Hayward, CA"Thanks for the information. The fact that I allowed myself to end up with an urgent need for oxygen is not your problem and you should not be responsible for UPS 2nd day delivery charges.Please figure the difference between 2nd day and Standard UPS Groundand charge that amount to the MasterCard I used to pay you for theconcentrator. Thanks once again for your excellent service."Leonard in Tucson"At 10:00 PM on a Saturday night, I had a patient that needed to go home from Duke Hospital's Emergency Dept. To discharge her, I needed home oxygen to be set up in the patient's home. Robert, the owner of the company, arranged to do this for the patient. The patient avoided an unnecessary hospital admission. We really appreciated the rapid response."Eileen in Durham"Received the Maxx 22 x 20 cushion this afternoon! Thank you for being so helpful!"Rita in AuSable, NY"Thank you so much for helping me and ordering my special cane.

I just checked the DHL service and you sent it over night and they say it's gonna be here tomorrow by noon. I thank you so much for your services and your help. You have a great attitude and I will be happy to pass your name around. Is there a feedback area on your page so I can tell others how great you are. Also, I looked at that 79 dollar table and that's perfect for my wheel chair. That means I can fold this bad boy up and take it anywhere with me. That rocks. Thank you so much again.

Thanks again."Sean K. in Indiana"Thank you very much GoSouthernMD.com.I would rate your customer service as excellent."Doris in Miami"My credit card account recorded credit for full amount from your company on the 19th of November, 2008.

If more people did what you do I believe this world would be a better place, especially on necessity items.Thank you again!"DiDi in Boston"Good Morning! The wheelchair is awesome! it glides with no effort & is easy to transport in & out of my car, & with the help of Robert we got the desk arms and that is how I am able to type this note. I'm rating, not only the wheelchair, but also the good service we've received. It's about the whole package/experience. 5+ is my rating.

I wish that all companies were as knowledgeable about their products and the manufacturers as you are. More importantly, I wish that even half of the companies I deal with would assist their customers as you did.In a day filled with truncated flights, emergency room visits, and hospital admissions, you have been the one bright spot. Thank you for "showing me the ropes". While my father-in-law has been embarrassed and reluctant to pursue real answers about why this machine isn't working, I have high hopes after speaking with you and Jared that I may be able to get to the bottom of this and get the machine in proper working order.I can't thank you enough! "Kristen in Denver"Thanks again for all your help Robert!! You were a tremendous help getting the portable concentrator to us just in time!! "Deborah in Tampa"U guys r life savers."Gustavo in Ruidoso"Both the EverGo and the EverFlo Q are just great! The EverGo really gives my husband the freedom he wants to do the things he enjoys and he takes it everywhere. The EverFlo Q is our bedtime companion and it is not difficult to move.

Our three cats were frightened when the concentrator initially started up but then they quickly got used to it over the next 10-15 minutes. Thank you, thank you---we are hoping the O2 will help with Jim's wound healing on his lower legs. Jim is most grateful and will certainly enjoy the holidays much more. Have a festive and joyous holiday! "Danae in Tucson"I would like to take a moment to thank you for all the efforts you have made to not only get my sister a wheelchair on time but also to rectify the unexpected error that occured with our order. There is nothing more important to a business than customer service. In my mind, your customer service stands over and beyond my expectations. The personal touch that you lend to your business makes it exceptional. I can not tell you how much getting help with such a necessary and personal product means to someone in need. Getting great help and exceptional customer care is something that we will not only remember but pass along to all our friends, family and colleagues in Canada and the United States.Thank you for agreeing to cover the cost of the wheelchair. It exceeded our expectations. You are truly appreciated."Anny in Ontario"Thank you so much for helping out the IRS in Dallas.

I've given your site info to many interested friends already and will continue to do so. "Seattle in Topeka"Hello GoSouthernMD,I thought I should let you know that the chair arrived as you said it would when we last talked - just 15 minutes late (not life altering). I have yet to test the chair fully - such as charging it - but the footrests won't be an issue - because of the way this chair is constructed. Thanks GoSouthernMD for handling this and taking care of the Grinch (me)!! - Did I spell the Grinch correctly? It doesn't look correct - and I have no children near by to ask! : )"John in W.Palm Beach"GoSouthernMD.com,I apologize for not picking up the liners. I've been sick in bed for the past 10 days.

Apparently UPS lied when they Said they couldn't find anyone to accept yesterday's delivery. They never bothered. I made a zillion calls Today to the Chicago supervisors, and Caught the driver. He left the package Outside my door, without ringing the bell. He has some bug in his ear re: Delivering to me. I personally prefer FedEx or UPS Express in this area. They seem more reliable than Ground Service. Anyway, the equipment is here, it is in use as I write, it is doing It's thing, no alarms are sounding, and I want to thank you so much for Facilitating this matter so efficiently and so reliably for me. The service GoSouthernMD.com has provided for me is pretty impressive."Ms. Brown in Chicago"Rob (5-9-11). My Scooter(GT-3 Fast Mobility Scooter) arrived yesterday. The tracking information was as good as UPS if not better. The driver was great and the scooter arrived without a scratch. It came just like the movie you made. Riding the bike through the rest of the day showed it is very well made with all of the features you described and more.Inside the supermarket, I got all kinds of smiles and comments on how beautiful it is. Everyone looks and everyone smiles, especially me. Thanks for doing a great job, and if anyone is a little afraid to buy one, have the ask me or show them this letter. It's a BEAUTY! "Bob M. in Boston"Thanks for the info GoSouthernMD.com. So far the unit has worked out well - I'm very relieved to be sending my doctor and the Cleveland Clinic my INR every few days rather than struggling to find a clinic somewhere. Well worth the cost in my opinion. We're in Canada where our cell coverage is not the greatest, but keep trying if you're attempting to reach us. Regards to all, and a big thank you! "Cat in Orlando"Well Rob, I could go on and on but I just wanted to thank you again for all that you did to make this happen. I have never seen him so happy. He ripped into that crate like a kid on Christmas morning. It should be fully charged just about now so I am sure he will want to try it out. I have your regular website's address so if I need anything like replacement batteries etc, I will let you know. I also bought him a trailer to put on the back of the car with a ramp so he can take it to lowes. I will go now and leave positive feedback on ebay.God Bless! Diana"Diana in New York

similar experiences with company

#4Consumer Comment

Wed, May 11, 2011

I have had similar experiences with this company.  It took almost four months to receive a product I was told was 'in stock' the day I ordered, and paid in full for it.  From that point on, the owner and his employee made up so many bogus excuses it bordered on ridiculous - from they were inundated with sudden special government orders, to having to take a trip to Chicago to see his child he hadn't seen in years, to someone walked in and bought the one I bought the very same day, and they were waiting for a new arrival.  I finally contacted my credit card company, who withdrew their payment of almost four thousand dollars.  Then gosouthernmd suddely 'received' the product and offered to 'ship it right out'.  We decided to drive to their office in the Phoenix area and pick up the product ourselves.  The office was very small, and the sales person had a mattress on the floor where he slept.  We got our product, but will never deal with these people again.  I found out today that this company is no longer in business, according to the BBB.

I really like how we work very very hard for people.  Go out of our way.  Pay $200 more then what he gave us because little does he know that Inogen decided to not make the AC OR the DC adapter anymore and did not let any middle man like us know about it.  You can order ONLY the universal adapter and only there adapter works with there machine.  This means that you cannot order it from a radio shack like you can with other portable units. So what happens is the supplier jacks up the price and makes us have to pay there price which is $350--Look on our site.  To make just person happy, we did just that and once he got it we never heard from them again.  Go figure.  It is just part of what we have to deal with going on 6 years now.

I explained to this customer about 10 times that Inogen does not make the AC adapter separate anymore and we did have it listed on our site but we had no knowledge that the supplier decided to do a combo pack called a "universal supply pack".  This means that the AC and DC adapter is combined as one.  The AC or the DC adapter is not supplied anymore separately at a much cheaper price.  This is what is wrong with being the middle man and selling products that people desperately need and we do it at a very low price to the consumer.  The problem is the communication that is lacking from the supplier to middle man.  Since this customer ordered the AC adapter only for $179.00.  We tried to find it but there was not one anywhere it the country that would sell us the AC adapter separately.  Our cost for the new Universal supply pack is $409.  We took an additional $100 but you can see that we are still losing money.  Now, these became back ordered and then we still tried to find one where we could not lose money but nothing.  We finally ordered 4 of these because there was 3 other people waiting for this same product but we had to upgrade them to the newer product.  


For anyone that cares, the reason WHY Inogen changed to the Universal Pack is to get MORE money out of all of us and the profit has to be well over 1000%.  There is no solution and no substitution so we are at the suppliers mercy.  They purposely designed it to where we all have to order what they sell and make.

"We leave no one behind."  She got what she ordered whether it was delayed or not because it was out of control and we lost over $200 on this order.  We did and we always do what is right.

Thanks,

UPDATE 5/19/2010

Finally, I received the product I ordered over 7 months ago. It took 4 1/2 months after I received an email stating that the item had been shipped, and 2 months after I started emailing and calling the company more frequently asking for proof that the item had already been shipped or a refund, and a little more than a week after placing this complaint. It was shipped May 11, 2010.
