When will you let me know what day im being delivered on? We will call you the Monday-Tuesday before your event or sooner.
What should be done on the customers part before the delivery? 1. Make sure you have some one lined up to be at the house the day of delivery. If there is going to be no one home have the area of the tent marked, otherwise they will put the tent up where they feel is the best location. 2. Make sure arrangements are made for payment (Payment is due day of delivery or Before). 3. Have grass cut the day before, we do not have the half hour to wait for you to cut your grass. If your not ready for setup driver will leave and come back later, for a fee of 25.00 to cover labor costs because you were not prepared.
Will your employees carry the tables and chairs down stairs?
NO, Tables and chairs will NOT be carried up or down stairs unless prior arrangements have been made before (Not even 1 table 10 Chairs). We are sorry about that, but there is to much liability involved in going up and down stairs (We don’t want anyone injured). We drop off the equipment as far as the truck can back up. Normally the Garage or under the tent if with in 10’ of the truck. If you want equipment carried further you must make arrangements before your event.
I want a Green and White Tent and White Chairs to Match do I need to specify? Yes, Yes, Yes. You have to specify if you want a specific color tent or you want a white tent. It costs a $10.00 to specify a Tent. If you want something special we have no problem taking care of you. You just got to let us know before there all gone.
