FAQS
Most Asked Questions
How early do I have to book?
As soon as possible, it all comes down to the availability of equipment. If you are unsure of your numbers, we recommend booking in a “best guess” to ensure you don’t miss out.
My RSVPs have changed! Can I change my order?
Reductions to your order must be made minimum 48 hours in advance or the full amount of the hire may be charged. Any payments that have been made are deposits and cannot be refunded. Additions to your order are welcome as long as the equipment is available.
Do I have to clean the equipment before it goes back?
All equipment must be rinsed free of food and refuse or an additional cleaning fee will be charged to your credit card. We will re-wash all equipment to meet our strict quality and hygiene standards.
What if I break something?
Breakages and lost items will be charged to your credit card for their current day purchase price.
What if something is damaged when I get it?
You must notify us immediately by telephone or in person if you have received something that is broken, stained, faulty, missing or otherwise damaged and we will do our best to rectify the situation.
Failure to notify us in a reasonable amount of time and you may be charged for that item.
