Purity Medical Products Rip-Off Scammers! They billed me $1,600 for $300 worth of product Anaheim California *UPDATE ..the nerve to call back
Purity Medical Products called our business and got the name of an employee, then started shipping us products at inflated prices. This worked twice but we caught them the third time. Purity Medical Company sends out boxes of Latex gloves at a price of $300 per case. The real market price of latex gloves per case runs $60 to $80. We got scammed.

The healthcare industry is a high-risk environment. The whole purpose of wearing exam gloves is to prevent contact with blood borne disease and hazardous substances. Yes, you are absolutely correct. There are exam gloves in the marketplace for $60 to $80 per case. Actually, some import gloves are now coming in at $30 per case. There are also gloves that cost upward to $500 per case. The difference between the $60 case and the $500 case is: quality, content, thickness & texture. You must also consider the intended purpose of the glove and the risk factor involved. While inexpensive exam gloves are tempting, a greater possibility of tearing, ripping away from the wristband and pinholes occur. If your environment hasnt any risk concerns then a discounted glove might be suitable. Purity Medical Products has been serving the healthcare industry for approximately 20 years. We choose to sell only the quality of products we would use ourselves and we have never shipped product to any customer without their consent.

Suggestion - Use of Authorized Buyers
#3Consumer Suggestion
Sun, January 12, 2003
First thing - If you do not have a Authorized Buyer for your company - AKA a Purchasing Agent or Manager. Then I highly suggest it.
2nd If you do have a Authorized Buyer, and the person that Purity contacted is not that person, then the so called purchase is not covered under the Uniform Commercial Code as a Contract. Therefore, you do not owe Purity any money.
3rd Write a letter to Purity to inform them of your purchasing policies and who to contact. In that letter tell them only orders with a Purchase Order Number and the Authorized Buyer Name. That all purchases will be followed up with a confirmation thru either fax or snail mail. That if any other person tries to order supplies from them it will not be recognized by your company.
To be a valid contract a written Purchase Order must be issued to the vendor for amount over $500. This is being change to $2,000 to $5,000 sometime in the future.
4th Additional information can be found at the Institute for Supply Management formerly the National Association of Purchasing Managers. Their website is www.napm.org
5th Hire a experience Purchasing Professional that is certified by either the ISM or APICS.
Susan had the nerve to call back.

After notifying Purity Medical of their gross over-billing, their sales rep, Susan had the nerve to call back and act like there was no problem. She must have thought she could get another quick sale. When they call, you can hear the salesman in the background. It sounds like a real sweatshop. Anyway, the receptionist, Amy Shorter sounds awfully nave, but I would think she has had many complaints.
