I bought an electronic BP monitor (arm kind/not wrist) maybe 3 years ago from CVS. I had to buy a separate large cuff since standard did not fit. Now the cuff is broken, not inflated. Positive it is the cuff and not the monitor that is broken. Problem is I am on severely low income, the store does not carry cuff now. I think because they sell mostly the wrist monitors now. But I looked online and their website sells it for 9.99 plus 5 bucks for shipping. I am determined to not have to pay shipping. For one thing -can't afford/ plus it has a lifetime quarantee but without the box I can do nothing about that. And why should I pay shipping ? why can't store do that?
the manager actually did order it for me. he said he ordered several and it would be in later that week. that was a couple months ago now. he said he was told they are out of stock. (roll eyes here)
you probably think I am being overly stubborn and you'd be right. but it's the principal.
I guess I could have left out most of my story and just asked you all, have you had problems with electonic BP cuffs? I assume it is the small tubing that has come apart inside sleeve or has a hole maybe? any advice or ideas would be great. thank you!
