When should I book my date?
Right Now
We are nationwide with inventory changing by the minute. Once an order is placed, our system takes those rentals out of inventory (meaning it goes out of stock). This is why we encourage interested clients to place orders immediately.
Last Minute Orders
If booked 15 days or less from your date, there might not be enough time to ship rentals to your state. Even worse, is not having any options & paying $100s – $1,000s extra for 2-day shipping. Avoid shipping fees by ordering today.
If You Wait
Typically orders are placed 8-12 months before an event. Orders over $94 have free ground shipping. All it takes is (1) large order placed anywhere in America to put rentals out of stock. We’ve seen this happen numerous times, don’t delay. #book

What is a DIY wedding?
ShipOur.Wedding™ helps both clients & vendors do it themselves. A DIY wedding is where you save time and money by taking back control over the costly elements of event rentals. For a client, this could be hiring vendors. For a vendor, this could be subcontracting other vendors.
This can lead to saving thousands of dollars in the overall budget of the wedding. There are various forms of DIY wedding planning. You can go completely DIY or partly DIY. Our rentals are easy, affordable, & cost-effective. #diyer

- Is planning a DIY wedding affordable?

Is planning a DIY wedding affordable?
Yes, it is inexpensive! The most costly factors of traditional weddings are the labor, overhead, and travel fees of wedding rentals. ShipOur.Wedding™ reduces labor costs by allowing you & your team the flexibility to do it yourself. Our rentals ship direct to you, are simple to set up, have QR code tutorials, & look beautiful! Plan the event you deserve without having to pay expensive fees. #cheaper.

We can ship direct to your venue. Get started by checking your date’s availability & then reserving your date. For peace of mind, you can also pay for expedited shipping on last-minute orders. #months

-
What is your super local initiative?
We need to embrace the progression of our industry. The next generation of vendors will inspire us; directly benefiting our local communities. New companies that succeed are able to employ more people & invest in their cities as they grow.
.
ShipOur.Wedding™ supports these companies with a rental solution they need to thrive. Smaller companies can now be equally competitive in local communities when compared to established companies that traditionally have more opportunities.Super Local Benefits Clients
Super Local is convenient & affordable. We deliver rentals to your address, venue, or drop-off location. This empowers your event by giving back control. When you do it yourself you are able to plan the event you deserve, bypassing costs so you stay under budget.
Super Local Benefits Vendors
A majority of ShipOur.Wedding™ clientele are event pros. We help these businesses scale their brands locally which in turn promotes healthy competition with established companies.
When vendors do it themselves they are able to effectively leverage their resources. In a traditional smaller market, the only affordable option is to sub-rent from another vendor that offers the same services. This may cause being upside down on a contract (meaning the rental cost is more than what the client is paying). Our approach helps companies offer services to clients at prices that fit their business model.
Super Local Benefits Communities
Let’s give an example of a city with (2) competing vendors in the same industry. We say competing because sometimes their services are compared against each other by their customers who are interviewing both companies. Even when both companies are on friendly terms sharing referrals, super local benefits them.
For example, company A sub rents its equipment to company B. Company B is happy because they have a solution and company A is happy because they are conducting business. However, in this same scenario company A now has another client approach them for a rental to set up with the employees of Company A. Company A doesn’t have any rental options because they are one of (2) companies locally. Company A knows the only place to get rentals is by purchasing at full price. Company A can not justify investing that much money into new inventory to have a long-term ROI.
Ship Our Wedding is able to rent to company A so they can not only fulfill the contract but also profit through services that positively impact the overall service offering. We understand that more competition benefits local communities, creating opportunities for both supply & demand:
- When vendors shop Super Local they increase profits by offering more services
- When more services are offered, there is more local competition
- When there is more local competition, local clients have more options
- When local clients have more options, they hire vendors that fit their expectations
- When vendors are hired, their revenue gets invested in communities (employees, gas, rent, etc.)
When you hire ShipOur.Wedding™ you’re not shopping local, you’re shopping Super Local. #superlocal

What is Happening
We closely monitor the supply chain nationally with our outgoing rental shipments. The largest courier shipping companies (FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS) are experiencing an unprecedented surge in their shipments. These shipping delays with couriers are in very specific & limited metropolitan areas of the United States.
Our Response
We offer free ground shipping on qualified orders and can not allow shipment delays that are beyond our control. As a result, we have temporarily disabled ground shipping to California & Oregon until the courier industry fixes their distribution centers that service those areas.
Moving Forward
As of October 2021, several distribution centers are being built to improve shipment times in these small impacted areas. Their target goal is to have these strategic sites operational before the holiday season shipment peak. These (4) states are only temporarily disabled & will be available once we have confirmation that these newly built distribution centers are both fully functional and load tested.
March 2023 we have resumed ground shipping to Ohio and Indiana.

I can’t watch your YouTube videos, they are either blocked, restricted, or not playing.
The Institution has a Filter
The internet connection might filter out our YouTube Channel and other sites if you are browsing the internet through a school, business, or public institution. This will be noticeable because the video will display a sad face or message saying, ‘The connection was reset’. When this happens it is because the organization that hosts the internet connection needs to approve YouTube for viewing. If that is not feasible, then we recommend watching our videos on another IP address that doesn’t have those filters.
Enable Restriction Mode
If the video says, ‘Video unavailable. This video is restricted’ then you will need to log in to your Google account to disable restricted mode. Log into your YouTube account with your Google e-mail and turn off restricted mode. This is located at the bottom of your profile’s icon drop-down menu.
Disable Ad Blocker
If the video says, ‘Please try again later. (Playback ID:xxxxxxx)’ This is due to a pop-up blocker extension. Common pop-up blockers are AdBlock, PoperBlocker, and uBlock. Check your browser settings and either pause or disable your pop-up blocker extension and retry loading the video. #tube

-
Do you offer discounts for multiple rental dates or discounted rentals to test?
We do not, our company incurs a shipping cost both ways on all rentals, as well as overhead costs, and staff costs for management/office/warehouse/quality control. The cost of our rentals are affordably priced for DIY budgets & because of this, we have limited product availability due to already booked orders. #nodiscounts.
- Are there product limitations/considerations to keep in mind during my rental duration?
-
Are there product limitations/considerations to keep in mind during my rental duration?
Yes, the limitations depend on the equipment and application. We recommend all equipment is safely operated, supervised, and set up indoors, in dry conditions, and not subject to extreme temperatures (less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit or a maximum of 115 degrees Fahrenheit). The below (23) considerations should be followed at all times to avoid lost/damaged equipment fees. This includes but is not limited to:
1. As soon as you receive rentals check/test your order (for correct quantity & proper functionality)
2. Before attempting your setup, watch tutorial videos & read equipment instructions (on the product details page)
3. Don’t set up electronic equipment in the backyard or outside (with the exception of wireless uplighting & string lights)
4. Don’t set up equipment where it can get wet/damp (this can damage electronics)
5. Don’t leave equipment unsupervised (you’re responsible for the safe return of all rented equipment including shipping boxes)
6. Don’t use equipment in public places (you’re responsible for the safe return of all rented equipment including shipping boxes)
7. If equipment is set up in an unsupervised room, keep it locked (if set up the day prior to your event, securely keep the room locked to prevent unauthorized access to rentals)
8. Don’t get equipment mixed up with any other vendor equipment (ex: drapery gets mixed with another vendor’s linen, or thrown away by another company)
9. When using the fog-based cloud machine it must ship back empty of fluids to prevent damage (ex: all ice & fog must be emptied from the container to prevent electronics from getting damaged during shipping)
10. Don’t lose the return shipping container/contents (store it under a table so it is not accidentally thrown away by your banquet hall or other vendors) Read More... - How do I register for an account online?

- What does linear feet mean in the drapery drop-down?
-
What does linear feet mean in the drapery drop-down?
Linear feet is the distance in length against a wall. For example, if your wall is 30 ft long from left to right, then you need a 30 ft long backdrop (30 linear feet of draping). Linear feet have nothing to do with the height of a draping setup. All ShipOur.Wedding™ drapery rentals adjust from a 4 ft to a 10 ft tall height.
Rounding Up Linear Feet
If your wall is 26 ft long, then round up to the nearest 10, & reserve 30 linear feet of draping. This can be adjusted down a couple of feet so that it will fit your space.
our crossbars adjust 7ft – 10ft long
For example, a 30-foot section has (3) crossbars. This 30-foot rental can be adjusted down to a minimum of 21 linear feet (7 ft x 3 crossbars = 21 linear feet).
Calculate Entire Room Linear Feet
Let’s say you are draping an entire room that measures 40 ft long by 60 ft wide. You must add the total distance of all (4) walls. You would add 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 linear feet of draping.
How to Measure Linear Feet
If you are not sure of your room/wall measurements, then consult with your venue contact. Sometimes they will provide you with the total square ft of your room. Square footage is not helpful. You need the linear measurements osf your walls to be draped in order to reserve the correct quantity of draping.
.
Your venue contact may have to use a tape measure & provide you with these dimensions if you are unable to do so yourself. Your venue should have a diagram with these measurements on file since this is commonly requested info.DIY Tip: When reading diagrams, one dash ‘ means feet & two dashes “ mean inches. All lengths should be in feet & not inches. #linear

What does swag mean in the drapery drop-downs?
Swag is another word for draping pieces or panels of fabric. All our drapery measures 25 feet long x 9 feet wide unless you specifically rent 75 feet long by 9 feet wide drapery. In this video, (4) swags are combined with zip ties. This is done to create a much longer piece of fabric (almost 50 feet long) that is bunched & suspended from the center/ends.Here is more information on how to rent individual swags & how to rent swags for ceiling draping kits. #swag

- Do I need to rent more than (1) cloud machine?
-
Do I need to rent more than (1) cloud machine?
This depends on your venue & ideal conditions. We only recommend using a cloud machine for indoor events.The reason why is that you can better control the climate (wind, temperature). These (2) factors help determine ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are an enclosed room with a temperature of 72 degrees or less. An ice cream cone in the sun melts faster as a cloud will be less visible in a hot room.
.
Also under ideal conditions, the venue should not be too large or have so much ventilation to dissipate your cloud effect. It would be harder to cover a large space especially if your event space has an air filtration system installed.Also if your venue has AC, then make sure it is turned on during your event
Some venues may keep the AC off to reduce utility expenses. They might deem the outside temperature is not hot enough to justify turning on the AC. Have a discussion with your venue contact before your event so you have the ideal conditions in your event space.
Even if you were to hire a local vendor to set up this effect for you, they would still have to work under these same conditions. Using (2) machines is not common. 90% of the time renting one machine should give enough coverage. The cloud effect is dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. This is solely based on your expectations, budget & venue conditions. #cloud

Why was a product removed from my cart before I could submit my payment?
To help with demand, our inventory system is based on the availability of DIY rentals for specific dates. When you added the product to your cart it might have been available. However, product availability is not guaranteed until you finalize your order by submitting a payment. In extremely rare cases, possible reasons why a product could have been removed from your cart is because:
– Another customer reserved the last of that item’s inventory for that date before you could submit your payment
– We’ve reduced the warehouse inventory for that item or have permanently discontinued offering that rentalWe recommend checking availability for a different date with the same product to confirm that it is only out of stock for specific dates & not a discontinued product. If you would like to inquire about still having this out-of-stock product at your event, please click the green alert button and view the status in your Love It Wish List. Once you have created the alert, you will be emailed a one-time notification about changes with regard to product availability when it becomes back in stock. #outofstock

– your order has already incurred a production cost (ex: you want to take off a gobo that required a custom-designed & we already incurred a non-refundable cost)
– your order has already shipped (ex: you want to add to your order the week of your event after your order has shipped, but it is not possible because the package is already en route to your address)No reduction of services can be made (30) days or less from your event date.

As a courtesy, ShipOur.Wedding™ allows a (7) day grace period to make final payments after the due date. If your final payment is late, you need to make a manual final payment through your My Account within this (7) days grace period to prevent cancellation of rentals. Events that fail to make their final payment within this (7) day grace period, will result in automatic client cancellation and loss of retainer along with any other payments.
Please note that grace periods do not apply to events canceled by clients. Once a cancel request has been submitted it can not be undone. #grace

I’ve received my rentals, when should I start setting up?
First, familiarize yourself with all your rentals by going to the product details page. You can access this page fast by scanning the QR code sticker located on the equipment. If your rentals do not have the QR code sticker on the equipment, then scan the QR code on your printed invoice (located inside your shipping container) with your phone’s camera and then follow the link.

Now that you understand how to set up & test your DIY rentals, it is time to create a game plan. Write down which rentals you want to set up first, second, and so on. Plan a rough timeline of how long each item should take to set up (based on the setup video and your comfortability). Understand how much time your venue is giving for setting up the day of. Does your venue have the room double booked? How early will they allow you to set up? We recommend setting up your rentals the day of your event 4-8 hours before your event begins. #when

1.) Rental can not be delivered unless a valid signature is provided at the time of delivery. You assume full liability and responsibility for any and all lost/damaged equipment
2.) Do not lose the shipping packaging or contents (we recommend storing it under a table so it is not accidentally thrown away by your banquet hall or other vendors).
3.) Keep these limitations/considerations in mind during your rentals to prevent lost/damaged equipment
4.) Save your receipt after you return your packages (in-person to a FedEx employee) at the nearest FedEx location (this document provides proof of return)
.
If you happen to lose or damage any equipment please use the submit a report button. Once submitted your situation will be escalated to a manager for immediate assistance. #lost.

What is your late fee policy?
Returns that are dropped off more than (2) days after your event at a FedEx location will result in a late fee charge to your primary payment method of 10% of the rental cost per product per day. You are subject to a late fee for (10) days. If the item has not yet been returned after 10 days, then you are also charged (in addition to the late fees) the replacement cost for lost/damaged equipment. Avoid the late fees and get the equipment back to us as soon as your event is done. #late.

When should I book my date?
Right Now
We are nationwide with inventory changing by the minute. Once an order is placed, our system takes those rentals out of inventory (meaning it goes out of stock). This is why we encourage interested clients to place orders immediately.
Last Minute Orders
If booked 15 days or less from your date, there might not be enough time to ship rentals to your state. Even worse, is not having any options & paying $100s – $1,000s extra for 2-day shipping. Avoid shipping fees by ordering today.
If You Wait
Typically orders are placed 8-12 months before an event. Orders over $94 have free ground shipping. All it takes is (1) large order placed anywhere in America to put rentals out of stock. We’ve seen this happen numerous times, don’t delay. #book

What is a DIY wedding?
ShipOur.Wedding™ helps both clients & vendors do it themselves. A DIY wedding is where you save time and money by taking back control over the costly elements of event rentals. For a client, this could be hiring vendors. For a vendor, this could be subcontracting other vendors.
This can lead to saving thousands of dollars in the overall budget of the wedding. There are various forms of DIY wedding planning. You can go completely DIY or partly DIY. Our rentals are easy, affordable, & cost-effective. #diyer

-
What is your super local initiative?
We need to embrace the progression of our industry. The next generation of vendors will inspire us; directly benefiting our local communities. New companies that succeed are able to employ more people & invest in their cities as they grow.
.
ShipOur.Wedding™ supports these companies with a rental solution they need to thrive. Smaller companies can now be equally competitive in local communities when compared to established companies that traditionally have more opportunities.Super Local Benefits Clients
Super Local is convenient & affordable. We deliver rentals to your address, venue, or drop-off location. This empowers your event by giving back control. When you do it yourself you are able to plan the event you deserve, bypassing costs so you stay under budget.
Super Local Benefits Vendors
A majority of ShipOur.Wedding™ clientele are event pros. We help these businesses scale their brands locally which in turn promotes healthy competition with established companies.
When vendors do it themselves they are able to effectively leverage their resources. In a traditional smaller market, the only affordable option is to sub-rent from another vendor that offers the same services. This may cause being upside down on a contract (meaning the rental cost is more than what the client is paying). Our approach helps companies offer services to clients at prices that fit their business model.
Super Local Benefits Communities
Let’s give an example of a city with (2) competing vendors in the same industry. We say competing because sometimes their services are compared against each other by their customers who are interviewing both companies. Even when both companies are on friendly terms sharing referrals, super local benefits them.
For example, company A sub rents its equipment to company B. Company B is happy because they have a solution and company A is happy because they are conducting business. However, in this same scenario company A now has another client approach them for a rental to set up with the employees of Company A. Company A doesn’t have any rental options because they are one of (2) companies locally. Company A knows the only place to get rentals is by purchasing at full price. Company A can not justify investing that much money into new inventory to have a long-term ROI.
Ship Our Wedding is able to rent to company A so they can not only fulfill the contract but also profit through services that positively impact the overall service offering. We understand that more competition benefits local communities, creating opportunities for both supply & demand:
- When vendors shop Super Local they increase profits by offering more services
- When more services are offered, there is more local competition
- When there is more local competition, local clients have more options
- When local clients have more options, they hire vendors that fit their expectations
- When vendors are hired, their revenue gets invested in communities (employees, gas, rent, etc.)
When you hire ShipOur.Wedding™ you’re not shopping local, you’re shopping Super Local. #superlocal

What is Happening
We closely monitor the supply chain nationally with our outgoing rental shipments. The largest courier shipping companies (FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS) are experiencing an unprecedented surge in their shipments. These shipping delays with couriers are in very specific & limited metropolitan areas of the United States.
Our Response
We offer free ground shipping on qualified orders and can not allow shipment delays that are beyond our control. As a result, we have temporarily disabled ground shipping to California & Oregon until the courier industry fixes their distribution centers that service those areas.
Moving Forward
As of October 2021, several distribution centers are being built to improve shipment times in these small impacted areas. Their target goal is to have these strategic sites operational before the holiday season shipment peak. These (4) states are only temporarily disabled & will be available once we have confirmation that these newly built distribution centers are both fully functional and load tested.
March 2023 we have resumed ground shipping to Ohio and Indiana.

The Institution has a Filter
The internet connection might filter out our YouTube Channel and other sites if you are browsing the internet through a school, business, or public institution. This will be noticeable because the video will display a sad face or message saying, ‘The connection was reset’. When this happens it is because the organization that hosts the internet connection needs to approve YouTube for viewing. If that is not feasible, then we recommend watching our videos on another IP address that doesn’t have those filters.
Enable Restriction Mode
If the video says, ‘Video unavailable. This video is restricted’ then you will need to log in to your Google account to disable restricted mode. Log into your YouTube account with your Google e-mail and turn off restricted mode. This is located at the bottom of your profile’s icon drop-down menu.
Disable Ad Blocker
If the video says, ‘Please try again later. (Playback ID:xxxxxxx)’ This is due to a pop-up blocker extension. Common pop-up blockers are AdBlock, PoperBlocker, and uBlock. Check your browser settings and either pause or disable your pop-up blocker extension and retry loading the video. #tube

Do you offer discounts for multiple rental dates or discounted rentals to test?
We do not, our company incurs a shipping cost both ways on all rentals, as well as overhead costs, and staff costs for management/office/warehouse/quality control. The cost of our rentals are affordably priced for DIY budgets & because of this, we have limited product availability due to already booked orders. #nodiscounts.
- Are there product limitations/considerations to keep in mind during my rental duration?
-
Are there product limitations/considerations to keep in mind during my rental duration?
Yes, the limitations depend on the equipment and application. We recommend all equipment is safely operated, supervised, and set up indoors, in dry conditions, and not subject to extreme temperatures (less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit or a maximum of 115 degrees Fahrenheit). The below (23) considerations should be followed at all times to avoid lost/damaged equipment fees. This includes but is not limited to:
1. As soon as you receive rentals check/test your order (for correct quantity & proper functionality)
2. Before attempting your setup, watch tutorial videos & read equipment instructions (on the product details page)
3. Don’t set up electronic equipment in the backyard or outside (with the exception of wireless uplighting & string lights)
4. Don’t set up equipment where it can get wet/damp (this can damage electronics)
5. Don’t leave equipment unsupervised (you’re responsible for the safe return of all rented equipment including shipping boxes)
6. Don’t use equipment in public places (you’re responsible for the safe return of all rented equipment including shipping boxes)
7. If equipment is set up in an unsupervised room, keep it locked (if set up the day prior to your event, securely keep the room locked to prevent unauthorized access to rentals)
8. Don’t get equipment mixed up with any other vendor equipment (ex: drapery gets mixed with another vendor’s linen, or thrown away by another company)
9. When using the fog-based cloud machine it must ship back empty of fluids to prevent damage (ex: all ice & fog must be emptied from the container to prevent electronics from getting damaged during shipping)
10. Don’t lose the return shipping container/contents (store it under a table so it is not accidentally thrown away by your banquet hall or other vendors) Read More... - How do I register for an account online?

- What does linear feet mean in the drapery drop-down?
-
What does linear feet mean in the drapery drop-down?
Linear feet is the distance in length against a wall. For example, if your wall is 30 ft long from left to right, then you need a 30 ft long backdrop (30 linear feet of draping). Linear feet have nothing to do with the height of a draping setup. All ShipOur.Wedding™ drapery rentals adjust from a 4 ft to a 10 ft tall height.
Rounding Up Linear Feet
If your wall is 26 ft long, then round up to the nearest 10, & reserve 30 linear feet of draping. This can be adjusted down a couple of feet so that it will fit your space.
our crossbars adjust 7ft – 10ft long
For example, a 30-foot section has (3) crossbars. This 30-foot rental can be adjusted down to a minimum of 21 linear feet (7 ft x 3 crossbars = 21 linear feet).
Calculate Entire Room Linear Feet
Let’s say you are draping an entire room that measures 40 ft long by 60 ft wide. You must add the total distance of all (4) walls. You would add 40 + 60 + 40 + 60 = 200 linear feet of draping.
How to Measure Linear Feet
If you are not sure of your room/wall measurements, then consult with your venue contact. Sometimes they will provide you with the total square ft of your room. Square footage is not helpful. You need the linear measurements osf your walls to be draped in order to reserve the correct quantity of draping.
.
Your venue contact may have to use a tape measure & provide you with these dimensions if you are unable to do so yourself. Your venue should have a diagram with these measurements on file since this is commonly requested info.DIY Tip: When reading diagrams, one dash ‘ means feet & two dashes “ mean inches. All lengths should be in feet & not inches. #linear

What does swag mean in the drapery drop-downs?
Swag is another word for draping pieces or panels of fabric. All our drapery measures 25 feet long x 9 feet wide unless you specifically rent 75 feet long by 9 feet wide drapery. In this video, (4) swags are combined with zip ties. This is done to create a much longer piece of fabric (almost 50 feet long) that is bunched & suspended from the center/ends.Here is more information on how to rent individual swags & how to rent swags for ceiling draping kits. #swag

- Do I need to rent more than (1) cloud machine?
-
Do I need to rent more than (1) cloud machine?
This depends on your venue & ideal conditions. We only recommend using a cloud machine for indoor events.The reason why is that you can better control the climate (wind, temperature). These (2) factors help determine ideal conditions. Ideal conditions are an enclosed room with a temperature of 72 degrees or less. An ice cream cone in the sun melts faster as a cloud will be less visible in a hot room.
.
Also under ideal conditions, the venue should not be too large or have so much ventilation to dissipate your cloud effect. It would be harder to cover a large space especially if your event space has an air filtration system installed.Also if your venue has AC, then make sure it is turned on during your event
Some venues may keep the AC off to reduce utility expenses. They might deem the outside temperature is not hot enough to justify turning on the AC. Have a discussion with your venue contact before your event so you have the ideal conditions in your event space.
Even if you were to hire a local vendor to set up this effect for you, they would still have to work under these same conditions. Using (2) machines is not common. 90% of the time renting one machine should give enough coverage. The cloud effect is dependent on many factors that are beyond our control. This is solely based on your expectations, budget & venue conditions. #cloud

In extremely rare cases, possible reasons why a product could have been removed from your cart is because:
– Another customer reserved the last of that item’s inventory for that date before you could submit your payment
– We’ve reduced the warehouse inventory for that item or have permanently discontinued offering that rentalWe recommend checking availability for a different date with the same product to confirm that it is only out of stock for specific dates & not a discontinued product. If you would like to inquire about still having this out-of-stock product at your event, please click the green alert button and view the status in your Love It Wish List. Once you have created the alert, you will be emailed a one-time notification about changes with regard to product availability when it becomes back in stock. #outofstock

I’ve received my rentals, when should I start setting up?
First, familiarize yourself with all your rentals by going to the product details page. You can access this page fast by scanning the QR code sticker located on the equipment. If your rentals do not have the QR code sticker on the equipment, then scan the QR code on your printed invoice (located inside your shipping container) with your phone’s camera and then follow the link.

From here you will find detailed information, setup instructions, setup photos, and video tutorials. ShipOur.Wedding™ is mobile-friendly so you can watch these tutorial videos on your phone. We suggest you watch these videos and do a dry run setup with the physical product (at least 2 days prior to your date) to test & ensure you have everything you need.
Now that you understand how to set up & test your DIY rentals, it is time to create a game plan. Write down which rentals you want to set up first, second, and so on. Plan a rough timeline of how long each item should take to set up (based on the setup video and your comfortability). Understand how much time your venue is giving for setting up the day of. Does your venue have the room double booked? How early will they allow you to set up? We recommend setting up your rentals the day of your event 4-8 hours before your event begins. #when

Packages must be returned in person (do not use an outdoor dropbox) to your nearest physical FedEx location within (2) days after your event to avoid lost/damaged charges or late fees. A late fee will be charged to your primary payment method of 10% of the rental cost per product per day. After the 10th day your order will be deemed lost, click here to view our lost policy. #extension.

What is your lost/damaged equipment policy?
All rentals must be returned to ShipOur.Wedding™ in the same condition you received it. We accept reasonable wear and tear at the discretion of our company. You are responsible for the theft, damage, alteration, fire, an act of god, or any other means once items are delivered to you. Our event rental company securely stores your credit card information on file. If any rentals are lost, damaged, require extensive cleaning, or if you are past due (10) days for returning the equipment, you will be charged up to the full replacement value of the rented equipment as determined by the Company (in addition to the late fee charges). A few things to keep in mind:
.
1.) Rental can not be delivered unless a valid signature is provided at the time of delivery. You assume full liability and responsibility for any and all lost/damaged equipment
2.) Do not lose the shipping packaging or contents (we recommend storing it under a table so it is not accidentally thrown away by your banquet hall or other vendors).
3.) Keep these limitations/considerations in mind during your rentals to prevent lost/damaged equipment
4.) Save your receipt after you return your packages (in-person to a FedEx employee) at the nearest FedEx location (this document provides proof of return)
.
If you happen to lose or damage any equipment please use the submit a report button. Once submitted your situation will be escalated to a manager for immediate assistance. #lost.

What is your late fee policy?
Returns that are dropped off more than (2) days after your event at a FedEx location will result in a late fee charge to your primary payment method of 10% of the rental cost per product per day. You are subject to a late fee for (10) days. If the item has not yet been returned after 10 days, then you are also charged (in addition to the late fees) the replacement cost for lost/damaged equipment. Avoid the late fees and get the equipment back to us as soon as your event is done. #late.
