11. RETURNING YOUR RENTAL UNIT

If you rented your 

mamaTENS

 

your machine should have been sent to 

you three weeks before your due date. 

The rental period is for five weeks, but if you need more time just call us 

before the end of the rental period and we’ll arrange an additional two 

weeks absolutely free of charge.

Sending your maternity TENS machine back at the end of the rental 

period is very easy. 

•  You’ll have received a pre-paid envelope with your machine so simply put the

unit back in the box - no need to include the lead wires and pads - pop the box

into the envelope and drop it in at the post office.

•  You’ll need to ask for a proof of posting certificate at the post office but it’s

all free of charge and very straightforward.

•  If you rented by purchasing a 

voucher or DVD

, do NOT return the unit to the shop 

where you made the purchase. It should only be returned in the envelope provided.

•  If you collected your unit at a 

Tesco Pharmacy

, please return it to the

same place.
