There seems to be a decent amount of terrible-business-practice-bullet-dodging these days, thanks in part to the slapdash nature of how many of these companies operate. I needed a new mattress a few years ago, and reluctantly dived into a market that is widely known to be a massive scam.[1] At the end of my second 100-day-trial, I prepared to return my unit and get my $700 back (much better than the $2000 I'd put on credit for the preceding one). However, the company I used simply processed the refund and suggested I move the mattress to a guest room, or donate it (at my expense). Something tells me that it was not actually worth anywhere close to $700. Less luck with my CPAP. The one I got through my doctor was subject to the same issues, and they even tried to charge me after I sent it back. The replacement I purchased off Craigslist had been used in a smoking household, which I didn't think would be a problem, but turned out to be a huge problem. Even after disassembling the thing, soaking every part I could in bleach, and meticulously cleaning the pump, it still pumps out air that smells faintly of tar and soot. It would be nice to live in a country where healthcare was accessible.
