Yes, since we are delivery-only, we require a minimum order value based on your location. If your rental subtotal is below the minimum, a “top-up” charge will be added to bring it up to the required amount.

Minimum order by area:

  • $200 Minimum: Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, North Surrey, North Delta

  • $250 Minimum: Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, South Delta, Langley (City)

  • $300 Minimum: West Vancouver, North Vancouver, UBC, Maple Ridge, Langley (Twp), Tsawwassen

🛻 Note: Delivery fees are separate and based on location, access, and order size. Pickups are not permitted.

Most bookings just pay the delivery fee and rental total. In a few situations, extra fees apply to cover added time, crew, or access requirements. The additional service fees which apply to your booking will listed up-front on your invoice so there are no surprises.

 

Priority / Exact-Time Window — +$80

  • When it applies: You need a specific arrival time (shorter than our standard 4-hour window) or your venue/park requires an exact time.

  • How it’s calculated: Add $80 for delivery if priority service is required.

  • Notes: For public parks/venues, exact-time is required. Please secure any load-in permits/parking.

 

After-Hours Service (After 7pm / Before 6am) — +$195

  • When it applies: Any delivery or pickup scheduled between 7:00pm and 6:00am.

  • How it’s calculated: Per trip (delivery = one trip, pickup = one trip).

  • Notes: If both delivery and pickup are after-hours, this fee applies twice.

 

Extended Delivery (stairs, elevator, long carry, difficult access) — +$40 per order

  • When it applies: Stairs, elevator-only access, long carries (>50 ft) from the truck, steep grades, or unpaved/grass where close vehicle access isn’t possible.

  • How it’s calculated: Flat +$40 per order; extreme access may require a custom quote.

  • Notes: Our team may refuse unsafe access. Please tell us about stairs/elevators/parking in advance.

 

Wait Time — first 10 min free, then $30 per 15 min

  • When it applies: We arrive but can’t start due to no site contact, locked rooms, uncleared space, missing permits, dock lineups, etc.

  • How it’s calculated: Clock starts at arrival; first 10 minutes free, then $30 per 15 minutes if our schedule allows waiting.

 

Redelivery / Return Trip — charged at the full delivery fee again

  • When it applies: No access at the scheduled time, or changes that require us to come back.

  • How it’s calculated: A second full delivery fee for an additional trip.

  • Notes: We can often avoid this with accurate access details and a reachable on-site contact.

 

Access & Accuracy Disclaimer

If the access/delivery details that you booked is wrong (e.g., curbside booked but you ask us to bring items inside, up stairs, elevator-only, long carry >50 ft, no parking/load-in), our crew may refuse for safety/schedule reasons. If we can proceed, extra fees may apply (Extended Delivery Fee, Wait Time Fee). If we cannot proceed, a redelivery at the full delivery fee may be charged or the order may be cancelled. The deposit is non-refundable.


Please give accurate access details and secure parking/permits to avoid delays and fees.

 

All amounts are before tax and are in addition to delivery fees and any minimum-order top-ups.
