Special Services & Add-On Support

At Classic Party Rentals, we know events rarely go exactly by the book. That’s why we offer a range of flexible services to help meet your unique needs. From tight delivery/pickup timeframes to last-minute changes, our team is here to support you.

These services are offered on a limited, first-come, first-served basis and are designed to help when you need more time, flexibility, or hands-on assistance. We will always do our best to honor last-minute requests, but availability depends on our existing event schedule. The earlier you reach out, the more we can do for you!

  • On-Site Labor: $100/hr per person (1-hour minimum)
    This fee may also apply after the fact if there are unknown obstacles at the venue or if rentals are not ready for pickup.

If breakdown is not complete and we have time, we will complete it and charge the applicable breakdown fees. However, if we don’t have time, we will leave the items and reschedule pickup. The following fees will be added:

  • Second Attempt Pickup Fee equal to 50% of your original labor and delivery fee
  • A One-Day Additional Rental Charge, per day the rentals are in your possession

 

Changes & Cancellations

We understand that plans change! Here’s what you need to know:

  • Rescheduling: Need to move your event? No problem! Just let us know at least 6 business days before the outbound date from our warehouse, and we’ll apply any payments to your new date (subject to availability). Special orders and permit fees are not refundable or transferable.

  • Changes to Your Order: If you need to adjust your order, we’re happy to help! You can make changes with no extra cost up to 10 days before your order leaves our warehouse. Additional restrictions apply to special order items and will be noted on your order confirmation. If your order has already been packed, a 50% restocking fee for any items removed will be added to your total. Updates to your order made 10 days or less before your order leaves our warehouse, resulting in a negative balance, will not be refunded.

  • Cancellations: If you cancel within 5 days of the outbound date, any payments will be forfeited. We understand that things happen, and we’ll do our best to work with you if the situation allows.

We’re here to help, so if you need anything last-minute, just reach out—we’ll do our best to accommodate!
