Special Requests: We are happy to accommodate specific delivery and pickup schedules whenever possible. Please inform our event consultants of any time constraints as soon as possible. 

  • Important: Please note that additional fees may apply for time-specific requests.

While your presence isn’t always mandatory at delivery, we highly recommend you or a trusted representative be present. This ensures the delivery goes smoothly and meets your event needs, including:

  • Verification of the delivery order: Signing off ensures you receive everything you ordered.

Note – Remember, you’re responsible for all delivered items once delivery is complete. Multiple delivery trips may incur additional fees.

  • Precise placement of tents and other items: Our team can’t guarantee placement without your input or a designated representative.

Note – During booking, we normally require you to provide a site image or photo with clear markings indicating where you want the tent and other rentals placed. This serves as a helpful reference even if you can’t be present during setup. However, our professional installers retain final discretion based on safety and feasibility to ensure a successful event.

To ensure a smooth and efficient delivery, please take a moment to prepare your tent site beforehand:

 

– Remove any vehicles or other objects that might block our delivery crew’s access.

– Clear the tent site of any removable obstructions, such as toys, furniture, trash, debris, and animal waste.

– Complete any necessary mowing or landscaping before delivery.

If you have a scheduled landscaper, inform them about any changes to their access schedule to avoid conflicts with the delivery.

Tipping for tent delivery is not a standard practice in the event rental industry, as the delivery fee often covers the driver’s compensation. However, your appreciation for their efforts is always welcome!

A tip of 10-25% of the delivery fee shows your gratitude for their effort and will be welcomed with a smile.
