Auggie Rental Program
To make things as simple as possible, our program for *any* of our
Auggies (Mini-Auggie, Auggie, Super-Auggie), covers a/each 2 week
period for $300 ($350 for Canada) and we pay all shipping. There
are no
exceptions. This period covers from receipt of the device to
actual shipment back to us. We issue a Call Tag to UPS to pick up
the unit and we pay all shipping.
Loan/Preview: Because of our low
cost,
and the fact that AAC devices are not our primary line of products
(other companies do *only* AAC devices), we have instituted a rental
program instead of a loan/preview program. We have tried
loaner/previews but things come back late, missing parts,
mis-communication, presenter scheduling, etc. So our rental
program is
the only option for trying/seeing/showing our Auggies.
For comparison, here are a few of
the 'big boys' prices on their
rentals:
$75/wk + $40 shipping
$125/wk + $40 shipping
$600/mo ($150/wk) + $100 shipping
(These
are
the
others' prices)
Rental fees, which I feel are comparable, may be applied to
purchase price, if purchase is made within 3 months of rental.
Optional insurance for the rental period is available at $100/2 week
period(s). This covers any problems that might arise except for
drastic physical abuse (such as dropping and destroying the unit).
Remember, AAC devices are not our primary line of business, like the
'big boys' of AAC. So we do not have the staff (nor pricetag) to
help with funding. We're doing this to provide alternatives to
the more expensive (but great!) stuff out there.
One more time: $300 ($350 to Canada) for 2 week period and we pay all
shipping.
