4. What is my delivery time?
Backyard parties are delivered within a 4 hour delivery window generally between 9am and 2pm and picked up the same afternoon or evening. For Park, School, Church, and Corporate delivery sites we can coordinate a delivery time that is as close to your start as possible, while still allowing time for proper set up. We like to start set up at least one hour before the start of the event, we strive to have equipment rentals set up 30 minutes before the start of an event. Our Drivers have several locations on their delivery route, it's extremely important that the contact person responsible for the event to be on time to meet the driver for safety and set up instructions. One late customer can create problems and stress for everyone else.
5. What about set up & pick Up?
Our drivers do all the heavy lifting, just show us where to set up. However it is the customer's responsibility to measure in advance and ensure there is adequate space and provide a flat clean area for set up clear of sharp objects and debris. It's important that we know in advance if you plan to set up on grass or concrete. Inflatables can ONLY be operated safely if they are secured and anchored properly. We bring stakes or sandbags depending on where the unit will be set up. If you make changes, please let us know to ensure our Drivers will have the proper equipment. Last minute changes could result in MAJOR set up delays.
Back yard parties are usually picked up within two hours of your event end time, while public events are picked up 30 minuets after end of event time. If our driver shows up to pick up and there is no one present or can not enter due to locked gates, a additional pick up fee of $25 will be assessed. If your event is at a church,park,school, or public location and ends earlier than the scheduled time. Please give us a call at your earliest convenience so that we may send someone your way as soon as possible. However there is not a grantee there will be a driver available for last minute pick up. Please note that units in public location can not be left unattended, the customer is responsible for all equipment from drop off until pick up time.
6. What is the payment policy?
We accept credit cards or cash, and Pay Pal as methods of payment. It's critical that the contact person have payment ready for the driver at time of delivery.

Failure to make payment could result in delays and/or event cancellation fees.
