Return & Refund Policy
Understand our return guidelines, refund processing timeframes, and statutory pharmaceutical safety restrictions designed to protect patient health.
Return Eligibility
Products purchased through MedCare+ are eligible for return only if they satisfy all of the following conditions:
- The product is in its original, unopened, and undamaged retail packaging with security seals intact.
- All accessories, diagnostic user manuals, warranty certificates, and serial numbers are present and unblemished.
- A valid MedCare+ order number, physical delivery invoice, or payment receipt is provided.
- The product does not fall under our Non-Returnable Healthcare Category (Section 7.0).
Return Time Window
For eligible non-prescription items (such as unopened diagnostic devices, orthopedic supports, and personal care goods), return requests must be initiated within 7 calendar days from the recorded date of doorstep delivery.
Any return request submitted after the 7-day period cannot be accepted by our logistics team.
Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Products
We take extreme precautions in packaging medications in insulated, padded containers. However, in the rare event that an item arrives damaged in transit, with broken seals, or differs from the physician's verified prescription:
- Please notify our support hotline within 24 hours of delivery.
- Take clear photographs of the damaged shipping carton, broken tamper seal, and the product lot/batch number.
- Email the photos along with your order ID to support@medcarepharmacy.com.
Upon rapid verification by our pharmacist on duty, we will arrange an immediate priority replacement at zero additional shipping cost or issue a 100% full refund.
