Staff person in Receiving department within hospital receives a call saying that they need the address to ship gloves ordered by the Home Health Department.  Staff member provides shipping address.  Then 2 cases of gloves show up with her name and an invoice for over $500.  This is for 10 boxes of gloves, so $50/box of gloves.  With a note on the invoice saying merchandise is not returnable without written consent and subject to a shipping and restocking charge. Items must be returned within 15 days of the date of invoice.  A late charge of 5% may be applied to invoices paid after due date.  Unpaid invoices past 60 days may be subject to a 5% penalty per month.  Buyer agrees to pay reasonable attorney's fees and collection cost in addition to any other relief afforded to enforce collection.

As the director of the supply chain when the staff person brought this to my attention I told her I had seen or heard of this happening at other facility's.  We shipped the gloves back with the invoice inclosed saying that we had scammed into "agreeing" to the shipment of these gloves.
Today a call was transferred to me from our Home Health department saying that they had a Steve Rivers on the line calling to inquire about the payment status on the invoice, could she transfer the call to me or to Accounts Payable.  Not knowing the person was on the line I stated, "this must be the company that scammed Pattie into having gloves shipped and invoicing us for over $500."  Then Steve enters the call to say that he is offended and that we approved the order and need to pay for the gloves.  I told him there was no way we would pay for gloves that cost this much.  He said that he had a corrected invoice for just 10 boxes as the first invoice was for over 40 which is what Pattie "agreed" to order, but we had refused 40 boxes when UPS attempted delivery.  

We are not only a shipping but a recieving department so we don't refuse packages unless they are damaged.  I went to get Pattie to verify how many boxes she had gotten and returned.  When we returned to the line he said we were screaming a yelling and totally unprofessional.  I told him we had already filed a complaint with the BBB.  He said he just wanted to get us the corrected invoice to pay for the 10 boxes of gloves that we had signed for and he had confirmation with UPS.  

He continued to say that we were rude and obnoxious customers and had several facilities that order gloves from them, he was shocked at our unprofessionalism.  We finally just hung up.  

He then called back to our Home Health department and told them he cannot believe that a hospital would have two idiots working and dealing with vendors like us.  She then transferred him to my voicemail.  Here is verbattum what is on the message left today, "...don't really understand the phone etiquette in the way in which you were talking to me, I am a little shocked by that especially if this IS a business in a hospital.  I would expect that you would have a little more restraint.  It is rude and obnoxious...if you would like to call me back to resolve this before I turn this over to my supervisor.  Again you are rude and obnoxious." Received today at 11:59 EST.

Then of course we find a corrected invoice for $142.98 on our fax machine.

We don't intend to call you back Steve.  The gloves have been returned, we have a tracking number.

We will not be paying the invoice for $142.98 dated 3/13/2013, but received today 4/5/2013.

Please stop calling hospitals that have gloves on their shelves.  If they want your gloves they will call you, not the reverse.

Complaint: Rivera medical called to say that they were sending several cases of gloves and a box of Spees chocolate. She continued by saying that the cost of gloves that we order from them is increasing but they would send the cases at the current price to save us money before the cost increase. I explained that we were not getting our gloves from Rivera, she continued by saying that we do infact get our gloves from them and it shows that we usually order medium size gloves and how many cases would. I told her that I order from Medline. She hung up.

Desired Settlement: Do not call again

888-857-3945 and 713-774-4800 im glad i found this site! apparently the scammers are using different phone numbers to run their scam, some of the phone numbers are no longer in service. I can see why!! I am fed up with these losers calling my facility to harass us ever day demanding we pay them for a bogus order on a bogus invoice! we never ordered anything from you! you called us to scam us and say you were sending us a free box of gloves to try out for FREE with a bag of candy of Free candy. next thing we know we begin to receive cases every week from you along with bogus invoices. we never gave you any authorization to ship your used up  junk medical gloves! we never ordered any of your used junk medical gloves! we are not paying to have them returned either. when you called our facility to try and scam us by saying YOU ARE SENDING IT FREE and COMPLIMENTARY my clerk told you she is not authorized to accept any orders and you told her it wasn't an order, you said it is FREE for us to try, so why would you continue to ship more and send us invoices for every shipment that we never ordered including the shipment you said was FREE?!! This is definitely a scam and I've reported you to the FBI! Quit calling to harass us! you're not getting a cent out of us!!

As per the FTC (federal trade commission) all this fall under the gift law http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus24-avoiding-office-supply-scams . you DO NOT HAVE TO PAY THEM NOR DO YOU HAVE TO SEND THE PRODUCTS BACK. So instead of getting worked up and upset... enjoy your free gift. (you may also want to report them to the states attorney's  office so they can NEVER send you to collections.

They are charging over $522.00 per box now! Imagine that!  I suppose they feel they need to charge a ridiculous price, get away with it ...just pass on the cost to others after being sued many times by several companies you ripped off and for having to pay out settlements.  

Look up case number 1:2012cv02566  at www.justia.com or go to     ......  http://dockets.justia.com/docket/colorado/codce/1:2012cv02566/135851/  (Superior Medical Supply, Inc. v. Superior Medical Company et al) Proof is in the pudding! CHeck it out!
