So you've found some awesome pieces that you think would be perfect for your event, and now you're wondering what to do.

Do I need to put anything down to place an order?

To place your order and hold your date, we ask for a 50%  non refundable retainer fee that will be used towards your rental balance.   Your remaining balance is then due two weeks before your event.

Can I come take a look at your warehouse?

Of course!  We'd love to have you come by to play with our inventory.  Just send us an email at hello@powerofloverentals.com to set up a time to visit us in our SE Portland location.

Do you offer delivery?

Why yes, we do!  Our delivery charges can vary based on distance from zipcode 97233, driving conditions and time of day.

Our Delivery fees in the Portland Metro area start at $300 for round trip delivery and late night pick up. For deliveries that may involve more than 2 worker bees, difficult load ins (think lots of furniture, no elevator, etc) - there will be additional labor charges involved.

Our delivery fees to the Gorge range from $500-$800 - depending on distance and time and labor involved.

Deliveries to the coast include over night accommodations for the crew members doing the delivery. Delivery fees to the coast range from $500-$800 - not including accommodations.

Curious about delivery to your specific venue? Don’t hesitate to send us an email and ask.

how do you calculate your delivery fees?

So, here’s what all it entails. We determine the labor needed for loading the vehicle for delivery at the warehouse, travel time for 2 worker bees to the venue, labor to unload the rentals - along with any on site labor for setting up tables, chairs, arbors and placing furniture. We also take into consideration the accessibility of the venue. If our crew can drive right up and unload, there’s less labor involved than if they’re going to have to find parking on the street and haul all of the rentals up 3 flights of stairs. We also include the labor time and mileage for our crew to return to the warehouse after the delivery. Then rinse and repeat for the pick up. So, delivery fees include 2 round trip drives (time and mileage) plus labor involved for loading, unloading, loading and unloading. If an order needs more than 2 worker bees, then labor fees will increase. As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Can I pick up my order from the warehouse?

Of course you can.  We'll set up a time that is convenient for you when setting up your proposal and contract.

Do you do photo shoots?

We absolutely LOVE collaborating on styled shoots! We do have a limited amount that we’re able to do annually. However, once we’ve reached that quota, we may still be able to provide rentals for a large discount. Interested in having us design and style your photo shoot? Please please please send us a message using this form: Styled Shoot Request , and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Will you set up my rental items?

We'd love to!  We offer set up and tear down services for additional charges.  Contact us for more details.

I know the general look that I’m going for, but I’m just not sure what all I need. Do you offer design and styling services?

Oh how we LOVE to take your vision and bring it all together. We can totally design your event and style it for you. Let’s set up a consultation to chat! Send us an email here and we’ll get you all set up.

Is there a minimum order?

We do have a minimum order amount of $200, with the exception of lawn game only orders-those are $100.  We'll help you with anything from the small details to the large orders.  If you're not sure that you need $200 worth of rentals, please don't hesitate to contact us anyway.  We can possibly still help you out!

Is there a minimum order for delivery?

The $200 minimum applies to delivery orders as well.  The cost of delivery does depend on location, time of day and driving conditions, with a minimum delivery fee of $300. Please be aware that farm tables, benches, most furniture and other large orders will most likely have a larger delivery fee due to labor.

What if I'm looking for something that I can't find on the website?

Just let us know!  We absolutely adore finding specialty pieces that can add that perfect detail to your day.

How far in advance should I place an order?

As soon as you know what you'd like to order, we recommend that you let us know.  The sooner, the better.  We often book as far out as a year.  It definitely helps if you know your location before you book with us.  That way, you know what they already provide.

Can I change my order?

You can make any changes that you need up to 2 weeks before your event. 

Do I need to wash dishes/linens before I bring them back?

Nope!  Just make sure that they're scraped/shaken clean of any large food particles.  We'll take care of the rest.

How long do I have the rentals for?

The normal rental period is from one day before, to one day after an event. Deliveries are usually made the day of the event, and can be picked up either the same day or the following day. If the pickup is the next day the fee may be be discounted.  If another client has not scheduled the same items, the pick-up/return window may be extended, An additional fee per day may apply.

How much room do I need in my vehicle if I'm picking up my order?

If you're picking up our Giant Connect Four, Cornhole, Giant Chess or place settings, you'll need a lot of room.  Like empty bed of a pick up room, or folded down seats in the SUV room.  It all depends on how much you're picking up and if you already have a car full of stuff.  If you're concerned about it fitting, we can always deliver for you!  That way, you don't even have to worry.
