Is delivery, set up and pick up included in the hire price?
No. The delivery set up and pick up are an additional cost that varies depending on each individual order. The fee is determined by the items and quantities on the order, the delivery location, access, dates and times of the event and includes one staff member.
What are additional labour fees?
The additional labour fee is charged when hire items require more than one person to set up due to the size and weight of the items, difficult access etc. Rates may vary depending on the order and the amount of labour that is required for the included items.
What is the ‘Damage Waiver Fee’ and is it refundable?
The damage waiver is an industry standard of the items hired value, which is added to all orders. This damage waiver covers all costs associated with normal wear and tear to the equipment and does not cover missing or damaged items. It’s not refundable.
Can the hire items be set up outdoors?
If the hire items are required outdoors, our set up team will check the forecast for rain or strong winds and will determine if it’s safe to do so. We require an indoor alternative option in case of inclement weather.
What time will my delivery arrive?
Our operations team will call you within the week of the event and require a two hour delivery window. Any delivery that requires less than a two hour window may incur an additional fee.
