Book early—all good parties need to be planned in advance. Due to previously scheduled events, we may not be able to accommodate your rental needs on short notice. Any events requiring delivery in 10 business days or less and not previously booked will incur additional fees. For more information on fees, please refer to our CPR Services & Add-On Fee Chart by clicking here. We suggest you speak with us 6 – 12 months before an event. That’s usually enough time for us to secure the products you want, and it gives you a chance to settle the details of the event so you’ll have a better idea of what you want. Keep in mind, this is a seasonal business, so there are no guarantees without deposits.
To confirm and guarantee an order, we require a non-refundable deposit payment of 50% of the total rental cost. Until a deposit is paid, the order is not considered guaranteed. This means that we will not hold the rental items for your use, and will not arrange for any special request items (such as specialty linens or tenting). Classic Party Rentals of Virginia, Inc. reserves the right to change or alter any rental items at any time with comparable items at no additional cost.
The remaining balance is due no less than five (5) business days prior to specified delivery/customer pickup date. Orders with outstanding balances will not be delivered or allowed for pick up by the customer. We cannot accept personal checks for the final payment. If paying by cash, a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID card must be presented, and a copy kept on file. All Will-Call orders must be paid in advance.
If an event date is moved, monies paid toward the event will move with the order for six (6) months, excluding special orders and/or permit fees. A credit will be applied to your customer account. New event date and rentals subject to availability. After six (6) months any credit due will be forfeited and not subject to refund.
If for any reason, an event is canceled five (5) business days or less prior to the delivery date, the order will be considered forfeited, and no monies paid will be reimbursed or credited.
A nonrefundable damage waiver is required on all rentals. Damage waiver will be applied to any missing/damaged equipment invoice generated from the original order. Any remaining balance must be paid in full upon receipt of invoice. Damage waiver will not apply to missing or damaged equipment sub-rented from a third party. This replacement cost must be paid in full. The damage waiver does not cover loss or negligence.
