Ordering, pricing, and shipping

Do I qualify for not-for-profit pricing?

Laerdal Global Health has committed to offer our products to low-resource countries on a not-for-profit basis. Click here for the list of 86 countries that qualify for not-for-profit prices. In some instances, products are first shipped to a third country for logistics reasons, but then used in one of the listed countries, this is also acceptable; the order form will prompt you for a country and project description.

How can I order products for use outside of low resource countries?

If you do not qualify for not-for-profit pricing, you may purchase some of our products through Laerdal Medical.

How can I order products?

If you qualify for not-for-profit pricing, you can order products from our webshop

If you experience issues or need any support with placing the order, please reach out to our customer service team at lgh@laerdal.com.

What methods of payment are available?

Two payment methods are offered: Bank Transfer or Credit Card. Once the order is received, more detailed payment instructions will be sent as part of the order confirmation.

Are discounts offered for large volume or bulk orders?

As our prices are already at a not-for-profit basis, we are unable to offer discounts for larger orders.

 

What are the delivery terms?

The products are shipped from either Laerdal’s plant in Suzhou, China, or our distribution centre in Johannesburg, South Africa. When we receive the order, we will obtain shipping quotes from our freight forwarders and get back to you with information about the estimated shipping costs. We will always ship out from the place where the shipping costs are lowest.

The delivery terms are EXW (Incoterms 2010) Laerdal Warehouse Suzhou, China or EXW (Incoterms 2010) Laerdal Warehouse Johannesburg, South Africa.

How long will it take for me to receive my products?

For small orders, products will usually be shipped out from our warehouses 1 week after payment.

For large orders, shipment will be arranged as soon as possible, depending on the order volume.

Actual transit time will depend on shipping method and location of customer. The above refers to when goods leave our warehouse.

Do the resuscitators or penguin suction have a limited shelf life or expiry date?

The resuscitators or penguin are not defined by Laerdal to have a limited shelf life or an expiry date, as their components are made with durable materials. A device may last for years or decades, depending on how it is stored and reprocessed. Longevity is reduced by excessive exposure to disinfection chemicals. Limit exposure of the device components to chemicals beyond what is required to achieve high-level disinfection, and rinse any chemicals off thoroughly. Our User Guides includes product testing instructions before use--and if the device for any reason fails testing, the device should be taken out of service, inspected, and retested. Valve membranes are available for purchase as spare parts.

Does my product have a warranty?

All LGH products qualify for the Laerdal Global Warranty. For most products, there is a one year coverage from the date of purchase. For more details, see the warranty page.
