Order Change/Cancellation (877-224-0946)

To change or cancel an order, Drive Medical must be notified within the same business day that the order was placed. If the order has not been shipped, the order can be cancelled. If the order has been shipped, it cannot be cancelled and a Return Authorization (RA) number must be issued. In this circumstance, the provider must pay the return freight. Under Drive's Hassle-Free Return Policy a restocking fee will not be charged within 30 days.

Shipping Information

If a product is not available at a Provider's primary Drive Distribution Center, Drive Medical reserves the right to ship that product from its choice of locations.

Drive Medical will provide an Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) to any qualified Provider who requests this service. Providers have the option to receive ASN's by email only. ASN's will be emailed to the provider within one business day of the shipment. To participate in this service, please call Drive Medical Customer Service.

A Provider may obtain a Proof of Delivery directly from the carrier or from Drive Medical Customer Service. All requests for a Proof of Delivery must be made within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the invoice date.
