FAQ's

Can I trade in or sell my Freedom Chair back to you?

We don’t offer a buy-back or trade-in programme for Freedom Chairs. If you’re looking to sell your chair, the best option is to contact the dealer you originally purchased it from, as some may be able to assist with resale. Many customers also choose to list their chair on TradeMe or other local marketplaces to connect with buyers looking for a second-hand chair in good condition.
