Why sports therapists switch from Vivomed to Meglio
The recurring reasons we hear when a pitchside physio or club kit-man moves their strapping order across.
UK phone + email support · sub-2h response
Replies in working hours, not weeks. JP picks up the trade desk; the customer-care team handles consumer orders. Both measured under 2-hour first response Q1 2026.
Shopify-native checkout, no Shop App auto-bill
No third-party app placing orders without your confirmation. Shopify Pay or PayPal direct, with manual cart confirmation.
Pre-orders flagged with explicit ETA
Out of stock? You see it before checkout. Pre-order ETAs stamped on the PDP. No "we sent it" replies on something that hasn't shipped.
UK-focused, UK-dispatched
Same-day before 2pm, T+1 mainland UK on tracked DPD/DHL. We don't ship to Canada and tell you it's a customs delay. UK is the focus.
Returns: pre-paid label + 48h refund
Auto-tracked from goods-in. Refund processed within 48 hours of carton arrival, not after a manual chase.
Own-brand tape with QIMA specs
Stated stretch, adhesion and wear cycles, published on the product page. Not "tape comparable to brand X."

When Vivomed is still the right call
Where Vivomed stays the cleaner route
- You need a specific branded SKU: Mueller, Donjoy, Aircast, RockTape. Vivomed's branded range is much wider than ours.
- Orthopaedic bracing such as knee, ankle, wrist orthotics sits outside our consumables-led range. Vivomed is a better stockist.
- Homeopathic and herbal remedies. Vivomed carries a range we don't.
- Veterinary equine supplies. Vivomed has a vet/equine subset we don't cover.
