Accessible Environments, Inc.'s e-commerce site
went online in September, 1999. Our goal is to make your online shopping
experience as pleasurable as possible offering the widest variety
of assisted living products on the web. If there is any item you
are searching for that is not yet found in our online catalog, please
call us at 1-800-643-5906.
We want to assure you that personal information
about our customers will not be sold or rented to third parties.
Occasionally, some of the information you provide (such as name,
address, e-mail address) may be used exclusively by us to keep you
informed about improvements to the site and upcoming specials.
Orders
Many of our products are built when ordered and drop shipped directly from manufacturer factories (items including but not limited to showers, tubs and lifts). Once production has commenced on items built when ordered, any/all cancellations are subject to approval by the manufacturer.
Additionally, orders are processed based on information provided by customers. On the date an order is received, an invoice detailing the order is sent via email or fax to the customer for review. It is the customer's responsibility to make sure everything on the invoice is accurate. If there is an error, you must notify us the day you receive the invoice of the error so that we can put a change order through to the factory. Once the unit is shipped, it's too late to make changes. If an item must be returned or exchanged, see our returns policy below.
All orders must be
inspected for accuracy and completeness within 5 days of receipt.
If after careful inspection it is discovered that it is not what
you ordered or there are pieces missing, you must contact us immediately
for remedy.
Pricing - is subject to change without notice as we receive updated price lists from our suppliers and changes on products. Please verify pricing with sales representatives when calling in to order.
Shipping
 Since
we offer a diverse range of products, we provide numerous shipping
options to fit your particular product's requirements. Our main
vendor for shipping is UPS. We do offer having your product delivered
by a common carrier trucking firm where warranted for large/heavy
items. Once a product leaves the factory enroute to you pursuant to your request via your placement of an order, the cost of shipping the product to you is not refundable and the cost of return shipping is your responsibility should you request to return the product for any reason.
The catalog is modeled after a price
threshold shipping matrix as detailed below for all orders within
the continental US. This table is intended to be your guide for ordering one item. If you need to order more than one of the larger products including but not limited to a tub, shower or lift, you must call to get a shipping quote and order by phone:
