GENERAL

 

 

What is FlashingBlinkyLights' return policy?

FlashingBlinkyLights wants you to be satisfied with your purchase. Returns of unopened, unused merchandise within 30 days of order receipt will be credited the full amount of the merchandise to the original payment method. Please use an insured carrier to ship the items back.

FBL will not accept returns on used merchandise. If the return is not in its original packaging, a restocking fee of 25% will be applied.

Please report any merchandise shortages or defects within 30 days of receipt of the order to [email protected] or 888-755-9449. We will be happy to make it right for you!

 

 

How are the items packaged?

The packaging of each product varies and is designed to keep the box size and weight to a minimum while protecting the product during shipping. Most products are bulk packed in quantities of dozens. Body lights are bulk packed in quantities of 25.

 

 

The item says it comes in packs of 12, so if I buy 1 pc., is that 1 pack of 12 items?

No, actually. 1 pc. means 1 piece, not a pack of 12. Most items are packed securely in dozens, meaning if you bought 12 pieces, you would get 1 pack, or however many come in a pack. For items that come in pairs, like gloves, normally 1 piece means one pair. Please check that specific product and read the description carefully.

 

 

Since an item says it comes assorted, can I choose which colors I want?

No, since assorted color products come pre-assorted in secure, sealed packaging.

 

 

Does the 1 piece price mean wholesale or retail?

Retail. Wholesale starts with the next price break, whatever it may be.

 

 

Why should I buy from FlashingBlinkyLights?

We at FBL have been in the game a long time. In fact, we've been selling these lovely lights ever since they came out on the market in 2001. Back then we sold them in a retail environment so we understand the unique challenges of selling blinkies and using them effectively for events. Our friendly customer service team will always try to be helpful, creative and recommend the perfect items for your specific needs.  FlashingBlinkyLights only carries products that are extremely bright, long-lasting and stylish, from light up jewelry to toys, décor and more.  Furthermore our light-up children’s products are compliant with CPSIA standards. You can rest assured that everything is free of toxins like lead, mercury, phthalates, BPA and cadmium. Our rigid QC process checks for problems several times before we ship to you. We offer new and awesome styles often. We know that we need to work hard for you every day to continuously earn your business.

 

 

Will you match your competitor's prices?

You may see a product that looks the same as something on FlashingBlinkyLights, but it’s most likely very different. We take pride in selling only the highest quality light up products and only carry things we would be satisfied with ourselves. There are many different types of plastics, batteries, components and LEDs that really make a big difference on how the product looks and feels, how bright the lights are, and how long they will last. That being said, we are happy to take a look at any prices you find somewhere else and will do our best to get as close as possible.

How do I get better pricing from FlashingBlinkyLights.com?

On large purchases over $1000, please contact one of our salespeople to make sure you are getting the best price possible.

 

 

What is a good retail price for FlashingBlinkyLights?

The best way to maximize revenue is to give some kind of a discount if the customer buys more than one. For example, you can sell 1 body light for $6 and 2 for $10. Most customers will hand you a ten-dollar bill and get two. You can offer the little rounds blinkies even cheaper – 1 for $3 and 2 for $5.  Increase prices accordingly for more expensive items such as the swords, you can sell 1 for $9 and 2 for $15. Everyone likes to get a deal.  Check out our Seller’s Tips for more ideas like these.

 

 

What type of batteries do FlashingBlinkyLights take and are they replaceable?

Almost all of our items have replaceable batteries. All battery information is posted on each respective product page. Batteries generally last 3-8 hours with continuous use of the product. If the product is turned off after use the life can be extended much longer. Not all items have replaceable batteries, please refer to the product page for that information.

 

 

Where can I get extra batteries?

FBL sells extra batteries at low prices for almost all of our products.

 

 

My product won’t turn on, why is that?

Be sure to remove the pull tab from the battery area. If it still does not work, tap the item firmly on a hard surface like a desk; that should jostle the batteries back into place. If it still does not work, please give us a call at (888) 755-9449 and we can further assist you.

 

 

How can I ensure my products will last as long as possible?

To optimize full battery life, turn off products when not in use. Flashing settings typically use less energy than the steady-on setting. Items will typically light up for 3-8 hours if left on continuously. Typically, single color LED products will light up longer than combination color ones. If you change the batteries, they will light up like new again. Average shelf life of batteries is about 1 year.  

 

 

Can I get my logo printed on my Flashing Blinky Lights?

If you are thinking that your logo or artwork would look awesome printed on something that lights up, we can do that for you! Our in-house printing department can add your logo to over a thousand kinds of light up things with a quick turn-around time. The minimum is normally only 250 pieces. Average production time is 5 business days AFTER the approval of artwork. We can even create something totally custom and unique for you.  Call us at (888) 755-9449 or Contact Us today!
