WHAT ARE YOUR BUSINESS HOURS?

We are open from 9am to 4pm, Monday through Friday. Closed weekends.


HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER?

You can submit a rental inquiry on our website and a customer representative will contact you within 48-hours. Submitted inquiries are not a reservation until a customer service representative contacts you to take all the information needed to complete a rental order. You can also call us directly at (310) 306-3348, or in our showroom in person, by appointment only.


WHEN SHOULD I PLACE MY ORDER?

We advise placing your order as much in advance as possible. We require a retainer to confirm rentals.  Ordering early also increases the likelihood that the products and delivery and pickup times you request will be available.



DO YOU HAVE A RENTAL MINIMUM?

Somewhat. Our delivery minimum is $1,500 for the Los Angeles County area. There is no minimum for Will Call orders, however there is a minimal Will Call fee. Please inquire about out-of-town, out-of-state events and venue minimums.



WHAT INFORMATION IS NEEDED FROM ME WHEN I PLACE AN ORDER?

At the time you place your order please provide complete delivery and pickup information: including the name and reachable phone numbers of the on-site contact, driving directions, gates codes, parking locations for our vehicles, and/or specific drop-off locations. If we are providing setup and breakdown services, please provide a complete site diagram at the time of the final order confirmation, if not earlier.  Also, if there are any large truck access issues related to your event delivery site please let us know. These include but not limited to low hanging branches, limited turn-around areas, narrow or steep driveways or roads, and gates in need of access codes. Any of these can impact the timeliness and efficiency of your delivery.



HOW DO I CONFIRM AN ORDER?

When an order is placed we will send you an email confirmation containing important documents that must be reviewed, completed and returned to us. What is printed on the rental contract is our only method of knowing what you have ordered. Please carefully review each line of the rental contract and provide us with a signed copy to verify the order is accurate and complete. All changes must be made ten days prior to your scheduled delivery date or Will Call date to avoid additional fees. At that time your order will be finalized and billed.


CAN I PICK UP RENTAL ITEMS FROM YOUR STORE?

Yes, you have the option to "Will Call" most of our items. It is necessary for you to load/unload the items into your own vehicle. While we are happy to assist you, the risk and responsibility for protection of our equipment and your vehicle is yours.



DO YOU CHARGE FOR DELIVERY?

Yes, we do. The delivery charges are based on first floor (ground level) delivery to your door and city we are going to and are a round-trip fee. There is also an additional fee for deliveries with stairs and/or freight elevators. Special delivery fees apply to timed deliveries, long carries, multi-crew, multi-day, high-rise, after-hour, holiday and otherwise difficult installations. Additions to orders that have already been delivered will be subject to the normal delivery fees. On-site delays caused by clients will result in additional delivery fees. Like otherwise, equipment not ready at scheduled pick-up time will be subject to additional pick-up charges


WHAT ARE YOUR DELIVERY HOURS?

Our standard delivery hours are from 9am-4pm Monday through Friday. However, we do understand that many locations, venues, and events do not fall within these parameters, and therefore, we do operate 24 hours 7 days a week to meet your event requirements. Delivery and pickup windows are based on 8 hours (your most economical choice), 4 hour, 2 hour and exact time request. A representative will determine your delivery and pickup rates when you place your order. All rates are determined on a per-truck basis. Additional deliveries and pickups are subject to additional charges. Deliveries, installations, and/or pickups that do not fall within our standard delivery hours (Premium deliveries) will be charged additional fees.

If you or your on-site contact are not present at the appointed pickup time, renter agrees that all counts conducted by LPPR are correct.


AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR WASHING CHINA, FLATWARE, GLASSWARE OR LINENS?

We require that all items be rinsed free of food and confetti and that these items be placed back into their appropriate containers. Please do not place soiled linens inside a plastic bag as this will cause them to mildew. All items should be placed in one location for pickup. Failing to do so may incur a cleaning charge.



WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

When an order is placed with La Piñata Party Rentals, all equipment is reserved, prepared and hand-packed. When a cancellation occurs with insufficient notice, these items are unavailable to other clients: Orders or items cancelled within 72 hours prior to deliver or will call/pick-up dates are subject to a 50% cancellation/re-stocking fee. Orders or items cancelled the day of delivery or will call/pick-up date are subject to a 100% cancellation/re-stocking fee. All special orders cancelled are subject to a 100% cancellation fee.


DAMAGED OR MISSING ITEMS?

In addition to the rental fee, the replacement value of any damaged, broken, unreturned or missing item(s) will be assessed. We will charge 1 ½ times the retail replacement cost for damaged, broke or missing items. Damaged merchandise will be held for five (5) business days from the day that client is notified of the damaged charge by La Piñata Party Rentals, after which time LPPR shall dispose of such merchandise.


LATE RETURNS

All merchandise returned after the return date indicated on the invoice will continue to accrue rental fees until merchandise is returned.

RENTAL RATES

All rates quoted are based on a 24-hour rental period per item; however, we allow extra for the customer to pick-up/drop off at our locations. Any rental equipment kept for longer than specified will be charged according to our price schedule. The same applies to deliveries unless prior arrangements are made. The customer is responsible for all equipment from the time of delivery or will call until it has been returned to La Piñata Party Rentals. The customer is also responsible for damaged or missing items. It is recommended that the customer verifies the accurate count of rental items received and returned.


CAN I RENT ITEMS FOR LONGER THAN A WEEK?

1-3 days: Base rental rate

4-7 days: Base rental rate x 1.5

8-14 days: Base rental rate x 2

15-21 days: Base rental rate x 3

WHY AM I REQUIRED TO ORDER A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF SOME ITEMS?

Because of the specially sourced and delicate nature of many of our products, we have custom boxes and crates dedicated to safely storing and transporting items to and from your event. The boxes/crates must be filled in order to send them out, which is why we ask that you order these items in the increments specified for each product.
