Why are only 2 charging bases included?
Our walkie talkies are equipped with lithium ion batteries, lasting 8-12 hours of average use. Because of this re-charging is rarely needed. However we include 2 charging bases (charging 4 units at a time) as a precaution. We can ship additional charging bases for $5 each, enough to cover the additional shipping.
Customer Questions & Answers
Are there any additional fees?
Our rental fee includes everything – including shipping both ways. However there are circumstances in which additional fees will be incurred. They include but are not limited to:
- Not all products are returned with your rental. This includes all foam and protection material included in your shipment, power cables, bags and remotes.
- The original box has been lost and a new box is used to return your rental. There is an additional fee in this situation because the replacement box will always be bigger and incur additional shipping expenses. These additional shipping expenses will be passed onto you.
- Lights are returned damaged, wet, or in any shape other than the way they left the warehouse.
- You do not use the return label when dropping off the package(s) at UPS. This will result in your package being delivered to you again. In this case you will be responsible for the shipping cost to return the package to American Party Lights.
