  1. CUTLERY: We understand that you would want to possibly re wash our cutlery before use, due to COVID-19. We do wash it before it leaves so it is clean, but you are welcome to rewash should you wish. Please do take good care of them should you wash and only use warm water, sunlight liquid and a soft cloth. No hard brushes and no dish washer. Please note that boiling them (koshering) the cutlery and items is not allowed and damages will be charged for.The client will be held liable for any damages at the full and total cost of the item. This is not the hiring cost, this is the purchase price of the item.

  1. UNDERPLATES: No abrasive materials to be used on underplates. They are not dishwasher friendly. Please ensure that you do not pack more than 22 underplates per crate. To protect the rim, the underplates must be repackaged with the bubble wrap exactly how they arrived. Please note, underplates are not for eating, they are for décor purposes. So if an underplate is eaten off and is scratched by a knife or fork, you will be charged for damages. 

  1. PACKAGING: All items and packaging (ie: crates and bubble wrap) must be packed in the same way it was received. Please do not force items into their crates, there will always be enough crates for the items you have hired. Breakages will be charged for. A packaging instruction sheet will be added to your order with your invoice.

  1. If you return your order later than the date on the invoice, please note that you will be charged a 15% cost of the total per day (unless otherwise stated). We strive to make sure all of our clients get the items they have paid for, so it is important our items are delivered on time so that we can wash and re pack for the next event.

  1. Please note, NO order will leave our premises unless you have paid for the order in full.
