Q: What do I need to do to prepare for delivery and pickup?
A: Prior to delivery you should ensure the area is prepared.
Make sure there are no vehicles or other objects that may block direct access to the site for our delivery crews.
If you are renting a tent, the tent site should be free from any removable obstructions such as toys or furniture and clean from trash, debris and animal waste.
Be sure to complete any mowing or landscaping of the tent site in advance. Don't forget to notify your landscaper of any schedule changes for that particular week.
All rental items should be prepared and left in the same manner in which they were delivered. For example, all items should be left UNDER the tent to protect them from the elements, all dishes rinsed and repacked in their containers and all linens dry and free from food waste. Our delivery crews will discuss any specific requirements for pickup and can answer any questions you have.
Q: Is it normal to tip the driver?
A: Yes, tipping is greatly appreciated by our drivers. Generally in the U.S., it is customary to tip 10%-15% for services based on the level of service. Party rentals are considered a service since you technically do not purchase anything nor pay sales tax because of it.
