General
Below are answers to the questions we are most often asked. Think we’ve missed something important? Let us know and we’ll add it here.
- Do you have a minimum order quantity?
-
There is no minimum order to use Allens Linen Hire Express.
- How long can I keep the goods hired?
-
The following Hire Rates table breaks down how our hire period charges are calculated: A single hire rate will normally be charged for goods delivered before the day of your event and collected the day after. If it is a weekend event, goods would normally be delivered on Friday and collected Monday and the single hire rate will still apply.
DURATION* RATE
1+ days price x 1 4+ days price x 1.5 5+ days price x 2 8+ days price x 3 12+ price x 4 15+ price x 5 18+ price x 6 * (Sundays and Bank Holidays are not counted)
For longer periods please contact our sales team for more details.
- Do I have to clean the goods before they are returned?
-
No, there’s no need to worry about that – it’s one of the great benefits of hiring! Simply remove any heavy food debris, air the tablecloths and then repack everything into the boxes in which your order arrived. We’ll take care of the cleaning at our warehouse.
