Typically the items are dropped a day or two before if allowed, or we can make arrangements for the day of your event. Delivery fees vary depending on location, amount of rented equipment, size of crew needed, and timing. Orders are delivered during regular business hours of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. You may request a 4-hour window, and we will do our best to accommodate. Deliveries and pickups made outside of normal business hours are considered after-hours and will incur additional charges. Delivery times are available at 2-hour windows or a specific time at an additional cost.

If equipment drop-off or pickup point is farther than 20 feet from access to the delivery vehicle, additional carrying fees may be applied. We are to be notified of any permanent barriers or obstacles (e.g. stairs, hills, parking regulations, etc.) that may impede the process of a safe and timely delivery.

Listed prices are rental only. (Except tents, staging, dance floor, and flooring – setup is included in those rentals.)
