​
Can I pick up the items myself to avoid the delivery fee?
No, we do not currently allow for customer "pick-ups" of any orders.  We will deliver all rental orders to the agreed-upon delivery address specified on the signed Rental Agreement.  We will then return to pick up the rentals during the Return Arrival Window you ultimately book.

Curbside Delivery + Return

Oversize items or those that require us to set up for you must have a flat, level and unobstructed pathway wide enough for passage of the item from the delivery truck to the setup location.
On delivery, we set or stack rental items, tables and/or chairs "curbside" next to the delivery truck.  We can take them to a location within 100 ft of the delivery truck only if it is accessible with our dollies via a flat, level and unobstructed pathway wide enough for passage of the largest requested item.  Set up is entirely the Renter's responsibility unless it has been ordered in the order request. Unless tear down has been ordered, the Renter must set or stack the rentals, tables and chairs at the same location as they are placed by our delivery person by the agreed upon pickup time or an additional fee will apply.  ​Items must not be left unattended by the Renter anywhere that they are accessible by members of the public or where they might be damaged, lost or stolen.

Stairsteps & Elevator Required Options

Some rental items will incur an additional charge on delivery or return if stairsteps or elevator are required to be used for delivery or return.  You may choose "NONE" only for the following scenarios:
  1. You will transport the items after they are off-loaded from the delivery truck to your set up location on the delivery property yourself.  
  2. ​You have a flat, smooth, level and unobstructed path at least 3 ft wide for us to deliver or return the items.  ​
However, some items such as heaters and canopies must be set up by us and so you must choose the appropriate stair step or elevator usage option before adding the item to your order if we will need to ascend or descent stairs, stairsteps or steps.  If stairsteps are required, they must be smooth, even and wide enough to allow for the passage of the items.  Dollies may be used on the stairs if required for the delivery and setup of over-sized items.   Concrete or metal stairs work best.  The stairsteps cannot be cobblestone, slate, stone, rock, wood or any other uneven surface.

Reasons Why Your Order Request Might Be Cancelled

If we are unable to fulfill an order request you've submitted, we will send you a status update message of 'Cancelled' as soon as possible. Although we try to fulfill all order requests, sometimes we are unable to do so. Some reasons why we may cancel your order request include: 
  • Our schedule is fully booked on the requested delivery and/or return day.
  • One or more of the items you have requested are already booked by other customers.
  • We do not have enough items in our inventory to fulfill the order request.
  • Your delivery address is only accessible through narrow and/or winding roads which our delivery trucks cannot use.
  • Your delivery address is only accessible if using vehicles smaller than our standard delivery trucks and we are unable to accommodate the requested order in a smaller vehicle.
  • You did not sign the Rental Agreement we sent you within 24 hours. (We can only guarantee to hold offered arrival windows and items for 24 hours without full payment.)
  • You did not pay for your order after signing our Rental Agreement.
  •  You have asked us to cancel your order. 

Canceling a Paid Order

Any request to cancel a paid order must be made via email reply to your confirmation email.  That is the email you received from us with an order status of "PAID".

Per our Rental Agreement, a 50% non-refundable deposit applies to all orders. This deposit will be equal to 50% of the total amount paid for the order. All deposits are completely non-refundable at any time for any reason. All payments are non-refundable after your delivery date or if you cancel your order 14 days or less before your scheduled delivery date.

If you must cancel your order or part of your order - for any reason - 15 or more days before your delivery date, only 50% of the total amount paid or cancelled portion will be refunded to your original payment method. The remaining 50% will be forfeited by you as the cancellation fee.

If you must cancel your order or part of your order- for any reason - 14 days or less before your delivery date, 0% of your total amount paid or cancelled portion will be refunded. 

Rescheduling a Paid Order

To reschedule a paid order, the Renter must reply to the most recent email they have received from us with their request at least 72 hours before the scheduled delivery date. If we are able to accommodate the order on a different date of the Renters choosing, we will reschedule the entire order one time at no additional cost. If we are not able to accommodate this order on a different date of the Renters choosing, we will cancel the order and a 50% cancellation fee will apply. The Renter will receive a refund for 50% of the total amount paid for the order. Any refund owed will be made to the credit card used to pay for the order and will be processed within 7 business days.

Adding and Removing Items from a Paid Order

To add items to a paid order, please reply to the most recent email from us with a list of the items you need from our website. Be sure to include your choice for any of the options in the items' listing or the default option will be selected for you.
• If the items you'd like to add are available for your rental period, we will add them to your order and charge the additional cost to the credit card you have used to pay for this order. 
• If the items you'd like to add are not available for your rental period, we will let you know as soon as possible so that you may make other arrangements.
​
To remove items from a paid order, please reply to the most recent email from us with a list of items you'd like to remove. 
• If you make this request 15 BUSINESS DAYS OR MORE before your scheduled delivery date, then you will receive a refund of 50% of the cost of the cancelled items or options. However, please keep in mind you must still meet our $100.00 subtotal minimum for your remaining order items to be delivered. Any refund owed will be made to the credit card used to pay for the order and will be processed within 7 business days following order return. 
• If you make this request 14 BUSINESS DAYS OR LESS before your scheduled delivery date, you will not receive a refund for the removed items.

Park or Public Property Deliveries

Do you deliver to parks?
Yes, we can deliver to parks and other public property for an additional charge.  Some Los Angeles County parks and public spaces have a list of authorized vendors from which you can rent a bounce house and others do not.  You must contact the officials for the park of your choice to see if they have any such vendor list.  You must also notify park officials ahead of time and obtain any permits prior to submitting your order request.  If you would like to rent a bounce house or other item that requires electricity at a park, you must obtain the required permits (if any) for the park of your choice.  If there are no sources of electricity available to you at the park, you must rent a generator from us. If you own a generator and would like to use it with our equipment, please contact us ahead of time to make sure it is compatible with our equipment.

Rental Malfunction

What do I do if one of my rentals malfunctions?
Although it is not common for one of our products to malfunction during a regular rental, we ask that you email us if any malfunction occurs.  You can do this by replying to your "PAID" confirmation email or the "Your order will be arriving..." email.

Do you have ... ?
Our entire current party rental inventory and rental rates can be found on our website here: Party Rentals.

How long can I keep the rentals?
You can keep the rentals for the entire rental period on the Rental Agreement you sign.  The rental period on the Rental Agreement is assigned based on your choices in your order request and our schedule of paid Deliveries & Returns.  Most customers choose "Same Day Return" rentals as they are the least expensive and are great if your venue requires you to be out at a certain time on the same day that your rentals are delivered.  Return "The Same Day" means we will return to pick up your rental order later on the exact same day that it is delivered. "The Next Day" begins at 12:00 AM (Midnight) and is charged as the 2nd day of rentals which is discounted for most items. Some areas have the option of a "Midnight" or "1 AM" pickup following delivery for an additional fee as it is outside of normal working hours.  However, sometimes it will cost less to choose "Return the Next Day" with a 3 Hour Return Arrival Window during normal working hours.  You will be able to select your Delivery Date and Arrival Windows to make the best decision for your order in the Checkout.
​​All orders require a $200.00 Subtotal Minimum plus a Delivery Fee.  The Subtotal is equal to the base rental rate (Day 1 rate) per item plus any services ordered in the item listing before adding to cart.  We charge per item per day (i.e. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, etc.) that you would like to have the rental items regardless of the amount of time in any day that they are actually used.  The 2nd day or more is charged at a discounted rate for most items.  You can see all rates in the item listings.  We do not charge sales tax on rentals.  We do not allow for customer "pick-ups" or subleasing of any rental items.  Our standard delivery and return service "Curbside" next to the delivery truck unless otherwise specified before adding to cart.  Orders requiring delivery and/or set up farther than curbside may incur additional charges depending on the additional time and labor required.  In each item listing, "Minimum Pathway Required" means the minimum width of the pathway required to the arrive at the desired drop-off and pick-up location. All prices and fees are subject to change without notice at any time.  The actual color of any rental item on our website may look different in person than what it appears on a computer, tablet or phone display. Any visual difference is not considered a defect or misrepresentation.  Any size or measurement stated in an item's title on this website is the nominal size and may differ from the actual size.  For all orders, full order payment is due at signing of our Rental Agreement.  After signing our Rental Agreement, half (50%) of the Total amount paid for the order is not refundable for any reason or circumstance and serves as the nonrefundable deposit to hold the order. The Total amount paid (100%) becomes nonrefundable for any reason 14 days or less before the scheduled Delivery Date.  This means that, once booked, if you decide to cancel your order 15 days or more before your scheduled Delivery Date, you will only receive a refund of 50% of the total paid and 50% will apply as the cancellation fee.  If you decide to cancel your order 14 days or less before your scheduled Delivery Date, then 100% of the total paid will be nonrefundable and serves as the cancellation fee.  For our full terms and conditions, please read our Rental Agreement which will be sent to you for your review and signature if we are able to fulfill your Order Request.
