Most wheelchair companies play pricing games that turn a "starting at $3,000" chair into a $5-9,000 nightmare. If you're tired of getting hit with surprise costs and endless upcharges for basic features, here's the truth about how the wheelchair industry screws people over with hidden fees.
The Classic Wheelchair Pricing Scam
Here's how most companies operate: They advertise a low "starting price" to get you interested, then nickel and dime you to death with add-ons. Want a backrest that actually fits? That's extra. Need wheels that don't suck? More money. Custom measurements? Premium charge.By the time you add everything you actually need for a functional chair, you're paying double or triple the advertised price.
Common Hidden Costs That Destroy Your Budget
"Custom" built - Most companies charge $1000-4000 extra for what should be standard: measuring your actual body instead of using generic sizes.
Decent components - Want bearings that don't seize up? Quality wheels? Hardware that doesn't break? Each "upgrade" adds hundreds to your bill.
Color options - Some companies charge $200-500 just to get a color other than basic colors.
Proper positioning - Backrest angles, seat depths, armrest heights - all the stuff that makes a chair actually work for you comes with upcharges.
Rush fees - Need your chair in less than 6 months? That'll cost extra.
How Reckless Eliminates the Hidden Cost Game
True transparent pricing - Starting at $3,600 includes custom measurements, quality components, and proper engineering. No surprise fees, no endless upcharges.
Custom is standard - Every chair is built to your exact measurements because that's how wheelchairs should be made. It's not an "upgrade" - it's basic functionality.
Quality components included - Premium bearings, solid construction, and reliable hardware are standard, not expensive add-ons.
No pricing games - The price you're quoted is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "oh, by the way" costs.
Real Stories from Pricing Survivors
"I got quoted $4,500 from another company, but by the time I added everything I actually needed, it was over $8,000. Reckless gave me everything I wanted for $3,800 - no games, no surprises." - Khai M
"The other companies kept adding fees for every little thing. Custom measurements: $2000. Better wheels: $1200. Decent backrest: $400. Reckless included all of that in their base price." - Ryan K
"I was shocked when Reckless told me their price included everything. I kept asking 'what about this?' and 'what about that?' They just said it was all included. Finally, honest pricing." - Adam L
The Real Cost Breakdown
Other companies: $3,000 base + $800 measurements + $600 wheels + $400 backrest + $300 positioning + $200 color + $500 rush fee = $5,800+ (and that's conservative)
Reckless: $3,600 total. Everything included. No surprises.
