What Your First Aid Vendor Isn’t Telling You

What Your First Aid Vendor Isn’t Telling You
If you're in charge of buying supplies for your workplace, you've probably seen an invoice from a first aid van service and wondered—how did a few bandages get so expensive?
These services sound great on paper. They stop by, check your kits, and refill what's missing. But what they don’t tell you is how much that “convenience” is really costing you.
4 Ways You're Being Overcharged
- Big Markups – Bandages and alcohol wipes can cost 5 to 10 times more than normal retail prices.
- Partial Box Charges – They may only add a few items, but charge you for the whole box.
- Unnecessary Refills – Reps often top off items that aren’t empty just to increase the bill.
- Hidden Fees – Service fees are sometimes buried in your invoice where they’re hard to spot.
Over a year, these small charges can add up fast—especially if you have multiple departments or buildings to manage.
