The ultimate goal of DIYWS is to drive down wheelchair component prices for everyone by creating a sustainable high efficiency/low overhead business model.
·
To reduce the cost of inventory, DIYWS sources from low cost wholesale suppliers in Asia.·
To reduce the cost of inventory storage, handling, packaging and shipping, large items such as rear wheels are drop shipped directly from the vendor in China to the customer.·
To reduce the expense of delivery, large items are sent on ocean shipping rather than air.· '
To reduce the cost of point of sale processing, all products are sold on eBay.com.·
To reduce the cost of excessive returns, no returns are allowed.
The last mile delivery is accomplished by local delivery companies such as UPS, FedEx, and USPS in the United States (International delivery varies by country).Smaller items are shipped in bulk to my local inventory for delivery by USPS (in the United States).When the package is sent on a ship, the Chinese delivery company does NOT create last mile tracking number until LATER in the voyage. Therefore, NO tracking is available until the package reaches the US port and clears customs. For ocean shipping, no tracking information will be provided to the eBay sales platform.
DIY Wheelchair Supply is a DISCOUNT service provider geared towards providing products to “Do It Yourself” style customers who are familiar with wheelchair maintenance and repair (or know someone who is).If you need a traditional full service (full price) provider, I have provided a list of some of them on my website.
