There are some business that truly do deserve a special ZERO STARS rating and this is one of those business. I am so frustrated with this vendor I could scream. My daughter depends on her wheelchair for accessing her life and National Seating has shown minimal effort and no urgency attempting to get her chair repaired. It has been MONTHS since I pushed it into their office on Elm Hill Pike. My husband and I have tried to contact them multiple times with spotty success. Probably half of our calls have been sent to voicemail after waiting on hold for a number of minutes. The best communication has been through a text/web tracking app, although the updates have been few and far between. That being said, the last update on May 6, to tell us the parts were finally in and the repairs could begin, gave a window of "1 day-3 weeks" Umm? Weird window but OK...I guess they are planning on taking every bit of that three weeks, but I wouldn't know, because when I called today to check I got sent to voicemail again.
There was a kind technician, who came to our home to provide a replacement chair. He seemed shocked at how long we had waited. Other than that tech, the employees my husband and I have interacted with have been rude and generally unhelpful.
WAIT!
The company literally just called and it's supposed been fixed and delivered. If they improve tremendously, I'll update.
MORE TERRIBLE SERVICE
Her chair was delivered, a VERY helpful professional (Derek maybe) came to our home. He was great! He insisted that his company's number one priority is safety. Hmm? Then why don't they work a little harder to get disabled people their needed AND PAID FOR devices?!!!'
The chair is back but not fixed properly (or safely).
1) It has several speeds, one pretty fast one in case she has to hurry (maybe out of the way of a backing up car or something). Now her chair has one speed, slow.
2) Also, when you order a wheelchair it's a prescription because everyone has different needs, right? She needs to be able to recline sometimes to take pressure off of her spine. It reclined perfectly before National Seating and Mobility "repaired" it.
3) Now the display is blinking crazy lights so, obviously they did not fix it.
Now I'm back to trying to get a human being to speak to me. This took weeks last time. SO ANGRY! and disabled people don't have tons of options for where to grab a wheelchair and these vendors know it. SHAME ON YOU!!! read more
