Payments & Ordering Questions

 

 

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, £500. Location dependant.

 

Can I reserve / put items on hold?

Your items can be held once the job is confirmed. We cannot hold items on a quote only basis.

 

Is there a price list available?

Yes we can send you prices based on a 1-4 day hire. Prices do not include transport or crew for the above reason.

 

How do I confirm an order?

By phone or email is fine. Once we receive the go-ahead from you, we send you an E-contract to sign to confirm the job. Once completed your items are reserved for you.

 

Can I pay by credit card?

Yes you can. Company cards incur a 3% fee

 

What is your payment process / do you take a deposit?

No need for a deposit. Once the e-contract is signed, then simply pay the invoice in full before the event day.

 

What happens if I need to cancel?

Your items are safely booked out to you as soon as you confirm. If you do need to cancel, you may do so up to 21 days before the event free of charge.

 

Can I add to my order?

Yes sure! Subject to availability and as long as the drivers haven’t left with your job!

 

Why is there no way to receive an automatic quote?

Quoting on an event has an enormous number of variables that often make it very difficult to provide an automatic quote. Length of hire, accessibility, timings, loading bay restrictions all have an affect on how we crew the event and how we transport it. Providing a bespoke quote gives you all of the details required to provide you a turnkey solution for your event.
