1.                           The United States is a country that is based on trust.  Out here we have lots of two-lane paved roads and trust that everyone obeys the stop signs.  Nothing worse than having an untrustworthy driver on the road we are traveling.  This is true in the World today.  We have to deal with untrustworthy people, and make our way of life prevail. 
        Now more than ever we, who breathe through a hole in our neck, must make sure our holes are covered and the air we breathe is warmed and filtered.  I had warming and filtering in mind when I designed the Foam Filter in 1972.  The added protection of a Cloth Stoma Cover came along later to add to the warmth and make us look like we have on a T-shirt, which is still in style here in the West for us working folk.
        We have shipped using the USPS (United States Postal Service) since day one and guarantee delivery to your mail stop.  We guarantee return postage so the delivery is made to you or returned to me. 
        Recently we have gone back to the bulk shipments each 15, 30 or 60 days depending upon your needs.  This was stopped because Medicare requires an order every 90 days.  Well, most changed their prescription to allow more than the 90 Foam Filters every 90 days.  Receiving fresh supplies on time is important.  Take a look at the enclosed blue order form.  Naturally, the bulk mail takes longer to get delivered especially around the Holiday Seasons. 
        Plan your purchases and you can receive fresh supplies when you need them.  All of our Stoma Care products carry the same Medicare procedure code, so have your Medical Doctor spell out your needs on the prescription form enclosed the next time you visit the Doctor’s office.  I am sure the Doctor would rather fax the prescription to me @ 1-(208) 465-5951 than send it home with you. 
        Remember there is no State Sales Tax unless your supplies are delivered to an Idaho address.  No shipping and handling charge on any products ordered with payment in full enclosed with the order.  Credit orders require proof of delivery so we send them FedEx and you know their rates have gone up with the fuel crisis. 
        Now that there is no fuel crisis will they lower their prices or just pocket the extra profit?  We have been using FedEx for twenty some odd years and always charged $5.00 but we have had to raise this to $7.00.  Naturally we get a substantial discount but it is mostly used for emergency shipments. 
        Yes, we accept all credit or debit cards.
