Emergency Orders
We are experiencing large volumes of emergency calls from clients apparently let down by other hire companies. We can assist but not always possible as we're not set-up for such a service. It would be ideal for clients to book ahead as before and not wait last minute to contact us. It makes sense that if we can be trusted to deliver during an emergency then it is wise to book ahead. Please note that where we can assist, a penalty charge of £100.00 will be levied.
Damage Deposit
We charge a nominal Refundable Damage Deposit against loss, breakage and damage. This is standard practice within the hire industry. Glass breakage, missing cutlery and damage to goods is normal in the hire industry due to the very nature of events. For over 8 years, we have successfully serviced hundreds of clients including a high proportion of weddings. We have supplied to the House of Lord, Harrods, top-end hotels including the Ritz in Piccadilly, numerous corporate clients and successfully supplied hundreds of weddings. We have a solid customer base who know that we deliver and refund deposits within our stated terms and conditions otherwise we wouldn't have lasted this long.
We offer our goods for use in good condition and all we ask is that they're returned as received. Where this does not happen, we reserve the right, as any other hire company, to charge replacement cost against the client's damage deposit. Most clients understand the deal but some don't which is unfortunate. We would like to take this opportunity to assure customers that their damage deposit is safe as long as goods are looked after and returned in the same condition as sent, except where cleaning service has been booked. If you deem yourself to be a responsible hirer, then we are happy to serve you otherwise you may wish to consider other hire companies as we don't have the time nor energy for any undignified disputes.
Availability, How Does It Work?
All products show available 365 days per year. Availability depend on a number of factors including hire date, stock levels for that date, courier and other issues. Please check availability before placing order especially large order for next day delivery!
DeluxeHire Quality Assurance
One thing customers can be assured of is the quality of our products which is unparalleled in the hire industry. Blessing travels the country to source fabulous products that are of sound quality and fit for purpose. And because we're a relatively young business compared to those that have been around for decades, and some more than a century flogging the same old products? our products are new investments and in tip top condition. What is the mother of invention? Necessity of course! Blessing founded DeluxeHire because she was extremely dissatisfied with the quality of products on offer from other hire companies and set about changing that. It was good that the hire industry took notice and responded to the competition.
What is your hire period or how long can i hire the goods?
One week. Plenty of time to organise your delivery and collection.
Please be aware that it remains the responsibility of the hirer to return hired goods by their due date. Hired goods not returned by their due date automatically incur full hire charge every week. For extended or long term hire, charges remain as per contract. Extended hire charges are deducted from damage deposit.
Do you offer long term hire?
Yes please enquire.
Do you offer cleaning service?
Yes. Minimum charge is £10.00 for small orders. However, until we receive your order, we cannot offer a definite quote. No washing charge for linen but heavy stains that will not shift will be charged as new. Example, coloured candle stains on white linen will not shift but red wine stains okay. Mildew will not shift so after event, if possible, please spread linen out to dry overnight.
Do you offer any discount for regular clients?
Yes of course. First order no discount. Thereafter 10% and up to 20% for large orders. Did you say large order? Over £1,000 excluding staff hire. Established caterers get up to 20% discount please call to enquire.
