I placed an order for a wheelchair back on November 11th of 2023. When they finally placed the order, the entire geometry of the wheelchair was wrong. The colors of the wheelchair were wrong. The back was wrong. The wheels were wrong. Basically everything about the chair was wrong. On top of that they got my patient information confused with another patient. I got texts, emails and phone calls regarding another patient's wheelchair and standing frame. They messed up my address. They had nothing correct. Now they're not doing anything to deliver the product that I paid well over $600 for. That's not to mention the money they got from the insurance company for the chair.

Wheelchair was ordered in April pf 2023. When delivered it did not have the required power assist wheels. It did not have the correct footrest or push rims. When the power assist wheels were delivered they were the wrong brand. It took an additional 3 months to get the requested power assist wheels. Those wheels have never been programmed properly. As of todays date I still have not received the correct push rims or foot plate. The company improperly submitted information to insurance causing another delay that will result in me having to pay $2000 for the correct parts or waiting approximately 6 months to start over with a different company. My health has suffered greatly because of not having the correct parts.Customer Answer

They have not given me a wheelchair and they want to give me a manual wheelchair which I can&#**;t use because I have tubes in my side. I paid them and still do not have a wheelchair. They haven&#**;t called me back or nothing. I missed doctor&#**;s appointments because of this and I have been in the bed for a whole month. I would like for them to come out and fix my electric wheelchair or give me a loaner wheelchair.Business Response

I have a special needs/disabled daughter in which she is wheelchair bound. She got a new wheelchair from Numotion in October 2023. The first day she was in the wheelchair, her teacher sent me an email stating that the wheelchair would not tilt back. When my daughter came home from school that day, I tried to tilt it back but it would not. The left side tilted but the right side didn't. I called Numotion to inform them of this. The told me to strip the wheelchair down and try to tilt each side individually. The left side tilted but the right side would not budge. I had to make an appointment to drive to their office because the appt day was much sooner than them sending a tech because they were backed up on appointments for a tech coming to the house. At their office, the guy looked at the wheelchair and said that the right side had a bad strut and they had to order the parts for the whole right side. They said hopefully the parts would be in by the end of December. I finally got a call the first week of January, I believe, and they said that the parts were in. I had to make an appointment to drive back to their office so they could install it. I put my daughter in the wheelchair the next day for school. Her teacher teacher called me right before noon and said that the wheelchair was stuck in the tilt position. I went to the school and broke the wheelchair down. It took me about ********************************************************************* the tilt position. When I tried to tilt the wheelchair immediately after bringing it back to a sitting position, the right side would not tilt back but the left side tilted. I called Numotion and they wanted me to bring the wheelchair back to their office. I should not have to run back & forth to their office. They should have a tech come to the house to work on the wheelchair but they claim the tech is backed up & the appt times are like 2 -3 weeks away.

I had a chair from them and it went out due to incontinence issues I have do to my condition. They were made aware that the chair was no longer working and were very aware of my bathrooming issues I have. They asked that I clean up the chair and they would look at it and see what they had to do to fix the problem. They came out and looked at it and told me it couldn't be fixed. I asked them for a loaner,t they simply said I couldn't get one. I rely completely on a wheelchair. They told me I was unable to get a loaner so that potentially left me without a chair luckily friends and family were able to find me the one I am in now. I feel like it was neglect because I've still not heard from them on any ideas on how to fix the situation I've had to take things into my own hands with no help from them not even a phone call.Business Response

I ordered a repair to my wheelchair mid October 2023. They "diagnosed" the issue over the phone and ordered a part. After waiting until December 4, 2023, the tech replaced a part that did not fix the issue with my seat not elevating. The tech spoke with a Permobil representative while at my house to troubleshoot the issue. Both said the issue could be as minor as a pinched cable. The Numotion tech never manually elevated my chair to check the cables, but instead ordered an expensive new motor for the elevate function. No proper diagnosis was ever performed.In addition to all of this, no loaner wheelchair was ever offered to accommodate my physical needs until my repair is made. I am often sleeping in my wheelchair because I cannot put myself in bed without the elevate function. Much time and money could have been saved had a proper diagnosis been conducted when I originally reported the issue 2 months ago. Also, a loaner chair would accommodate the physical need until your company can order the new part and adequately perform the repair. I also want to be reimbursed the $650 I paid to replace the control box, which this replacement never fixed any issues and was not needed.Business Response

NuMotion delivered a powered wheelchair 5 months ago and when delivering it broke several parts. They have scheduled 5 times for a tech to fix the issues. They were no shows 3 times and on the two occasions they did arrive the tech did not have the parts/equipment to complete the repairs. It has now been 2 months since theyve returned any phone calls. They were paid in full for this chair and refuse to make it right.Business Response

NuMotion has a history of hiding behind this HIPPA form request. It is not a violation of HIPPA to respond to bad business practices and answer why they have failed to follow through with their obligations in delivery of this equipment.
Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.
