As a business owner we must protect ourselves and our customers from any unforseen circumstances which may occur that is either out of our control or an act from God. Our contract which was carefully designed by our attorney plainly stated that we are not responsible for errors or delays made by any shipping provider. If there was any discrepancy with an order it states that the customer must call us within 24 hours of their event so that we may accomodate an overnight package. Our packages are tracked from the time they leave our warehouse until it reaches it's final destination. If we see that there was any delay, we would catch this ourselves and contact our shipping provider to make sure the packages are delivered in a timely manner. We encourage our customers to call us and request their tracking numbers so that they may track their order themselves to ease their mind. The contract was signed and returned by the customer and remains on file even though she claims otherwise. She then wanted to cancel her order which resulted in a loss of her deposit per our contract. Our contract states that we require a 50% deposit within 10 days of the reservation being placed. We NEVER charge any customer their deposit until they have signed and returned their rental contract and credit card authorization form. The 50% deposit is non refundable if they choose to cancel as we have taken these rental items out of our inventory especially for them and that the rental items are no longer unavailable for any other customer. All companies that are structured properly have policies and contracts and I would be leary of a company that does not provide a contract for their customers. Unfortunately you cannot please every customer even though we will continue to strive to do so. Feel free to call or email us with any questions or concerns pertaining to this matter. Sincerely,
