Worldwide delivery, duties and import responsibilities
Do you ship internationally?

International support: info@selfimed.com
Who is responsible for customs duties and taxes?
For non-UK deliveries, the recipient is the Importer of Record and must pay any local duty, VAT/GST and brokerage or clearance fees. These are not included in our prices or shipping quote. We recommend checking your local import regulations for medical devices before ordering.
What if I refuse to pay customs or don't assist clearance?
The carrier may return the parcel or customs may mark it abandoned. If returned in good condition, we refund the product price only. Original and return shipping costs, and any carrier or customs handling fees, are non-refundable and may be deducted from your refund. Abandoned parcels cannot be refunded.
Returns & Refunds
Return eligibility, hygiene rules and refund timelines
What is your returns policy?
Returns are accepted within 30 days for items in original, unused condition and authorised in advance. For hygiene and regulatory reasons, certain medical items such as masks, tubing and sealed accessories are non-returnable once opened.

Important: Include photos or video if you are reporting damage or a fault. This speeds up assessment considerably.

Is the London address available for collections?
No. Our London address at 167–169 Great Portland Street, London W1W 5PF is a registered office for administration only. No stock is held there and no collections are possible at this address. All physical product is stored at and dispatched from Leeds.
Product Condition & Compatibility
New vs pre-owned, consumables and equipment compatibility
What does "pre-owned" or "refurbished" mean for medical equipment?
Pre-owned equipment has been previously used and returned or sourced from NHS or clinical decommissions. Refurbished items have been inspected, tested and serviced to a defined standard. Each listing states the condition clearly. Pre-owned and refurbished items are sold at a significant discount versus new.
Are consumables and accessories compatible with all brands?
Compatibility depends on the specific item. Each product page lists compatible models and brands. For CPAP accessories such as masks, water chambers and tubing, verify compatibility with your machine model before purchasing. Contact us if you are unsure.
Do I need a prescription to buy CPAP or other clinical devices?
In the UK, CPAP and BiPAP machines are medical devices typically supplied following diagnosis. We may request a prescription or clinician letter before dispatch for certain devices. Accessories, consumables and replacement parts can generally be purchased without a prescription.
Is "In Stock" on your website truly available in the UK?
Yes. "In Stock" indicates physical availability at our Leeds depot (LS12 4HP). All inventory is held and dispatched from this secure UK facility. If an item is on backorder, we indicate expected timings on the product page and will email you if your order is affected.
Warranty, Repairs & Faults
Coverage periods, fault reporting and post-warranty options
What warranty comes with equipment from SelfiMed?
New clinical equipment carries a minimum 12-month warranty, with many devices covered for 2 years or more. Pre-owned and refurbished items carry a defined shorter warranty stated on the listing — typically 30 to 90 days. Consumables and accessories are not covered under warranty.
How do I report a fault or request warranty service?
Email info@selfimed.com with your order number, the serial number of the device, a description of the fault, and photos or video where possible. Our team will assess and advise on next steps, which may include repair, replacement or return.
What options exist after my warranty expires?
We offer paid repair services and discounted trade-in upgrades for returning customers. Contact us with your device serial number and fault description for a repair assessment quote.
Post-warranty support: info@selfimed.com
Who operates SelfiMed UK?
Elarix Medical Ltd (Company No. 16602969), registered in England and Wales. Sister brands include CPAP Supply UK and DefibCentre UK. All purchasing, warranty and logistics are managed centrally from our Leeds depot.

Quotes: info@selfimed.com
How does VAT relief work on medical equipment?
Many items qualify for VAT relief if you are purchasing for a qualifying long-term condition or as a disabled person. At checkout, select the VAT relief option and complete the self-declaration. VAT is removed automatically — saving you 20%. This applies to the customer; businesses purchasing for resale pay standard VAT.
Note: Making a false VAT relief declaration is a criminal offence. By declaring eligibility you accept legal responsibility for the claim.
Can I get a formal VAT invoice?
Yes. A VAT invoice is included with your order documentation. If you need a copy emailed, contact us with your order number and we will send it promptly.
Invoices: info@selfimed.com
Do you offer volume pricing or trade discounts?
Yes. We offer tailored pricing for institutions, care groups, sleep clinics, pharmacies and resellers. Contact us with your expected volumes and preferred products for a bespoke commercial arrangement.
