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.
Rental Agreement
Our Rental Agreement is provided here for your review only. If we are able to accommodate your order, we will send this to you via email as soon as possible within 2 business of receiving your order request. We ask that you agree to all of the terms and conditions and provide your electronic signature within 24 hours of receiving our Agreement or your order may be cancelled. If you do not fully agree with the Rental Agreement, please do not sign and submit the document.
Curbside delivery + return
Setup and tear down is unavailable except for canopies, tents, heaters and inflatables. 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" or at the location requested within 20 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. 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 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:
- You will transport the items after they are off-loaded from the delivery truck to your set up location on the delivery property yourself.
- You have a flat, smooth, level and unobstructed path at least 3 ft wide for us to deliver or return the items.

Canceling a Paid Order Due to Rain, Inclement or Severe Weather
This policy only applies to events that are scheduled to occur outdoors without appropriate shelter and with rental items belonging to BBS that cannot or should not be used or exposed to rain, high winds (15 mph or greater), inclement or severe weather. This policy does not apply to indoor events on a day that it is raining or experiencing inclement or severe weather. This policy also does not apply to an outdoor event with BBS rental items that are able to be used or set up in the rain or during inclement or severe weather conditions as determined by BBS. If Renter intends to use any items in the order outdoors, Renter must monitor the weather forecast for the Delivery Address zip code on www.weather.gov. BBS will not monitor the weather for Renter leading up to the scheduled delivery date. Renter assumes all risks, liability and associated costs that may come with planning an outdoor event including unexpected weather events. If rain, high winds, inclement or severe weather is forecast to occur in the Delivery Address zip code with a probability of 20% or greater anytime during the start of the Delivery Arrival Window and the end of the Return Arrival Window AND the Renter has items that can only be used outdoors in their order, Renter may choose one of the following options:
- OPTION 1 - Renter may cancel the entire order no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date to receive a refund of 50% of the total amount that they have paid for the order. The renter must request this cancellation in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
- OPTION 2 - Renter may cancel delivery only of items in the order that cannot be used in the rain, high winds or during inclement or severe weather. If Renter chooses to only cancel a part of the order, Renter may receive a refund of 50% of the amount they have paid for the cancelled items only. The renter must request the cancellation of these items in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
- OPTION 3 - Renter may choose to reschedule the entire order delivery to another date at no additional cost or penalty and only if BBS is available to accommodate the order on the new date. This option cannot be guaranteed as all or some of the requested items, delivery or return arrival windows may already be booked for the new date. If BBS is unable to fully reschedule the delivery or return to another date of the Renters choosing, Renter will receive a refund of 50% of the total amount they have paid for the order. The renter must request to reschedule the order in writing via email message to support@bigblueskyparty.com no later than 5:00 PM the day before the scheduled delivery date. If the email is sent after 5:00 PM, no refund will be considered.
Rescheduling a Paid Order

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.

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.

How long can I keep the rentals?
You can keep the rentals for the entire rental period on the Rental Agreement you sign.
