We must charge for all linens that are shipped, picked up or delivered. You may always make changes to your order but in the event that you under-estimated your needs, it is always advised to order a few extra items (especially for shipped items long distance or for weekend events) which will help accommodate last minute needs.
The rental period begins on the ship date specified in the SMI Rental Contract and ends when the items are returned to SMI. The customer agrees to return rented items on the agreed return date as specified on the SMI invoice OR to arrange for SMI to pick up rented items. SMI reserves the right to charge additional rental fees for items returned after the agreed return date.
The Customer is liable for all damage, destruction, loss, or theft regardless of whether rental items were turned over to any 3rd parties including (but not limited to) caterers, set-up personnel, hotels, etc, or left with no supervision to verify. Customer liability does not change if SMI is setting up and/or taking down the rental items. SMI cannot assume any responsibility for items whenever they are not under direct control of SMI such as during the event.

The customer agrees to take reasonable care to prevent mildew from forming on linens by separating damp linens, not storing damp linens in plastic bags or sealed containers, not leaving any linen in damp areas, not setting up linens where they are in constant contact with damp grass, etc. Mildew is permanent and will result in replacement charges. Wax may or may not come out in the wash; which will result in additional cleaning charges. Burn holes or other permanent damages will also result in a full replacement charge.
Always make sure proper care is taken when removing the linens from the table or any area of use. Watch for wooden chips or other sharp or heavy weighted objects which can cause a tear to the fine linen. Take extra care when removing lit candles and wax filled voiles, as hot wax can severely damage linens, and ignite near flammable objects. If the linens are wet, please air dry before putting in plastic bags for return. Please also make sure linens are left in a proper and secure area upon waiting of pickup or delivery.
Easy! When you receive your linens from SMR you will have received them with both a packing slip and a Return Label(s) (RS) from UPS. SMR will also provide you with easy to follow instructions on how to place the linens back in the totes or boxes which the linens were received in and all you need to do is call UPS for a pick on the next business day after the event. 1-800-PICK UPS.
