Frequently
Asked Questions
How do I find what I'm looking for?
Our site can navigate you to all products that we have available
for rent. Click on the Products link on the top of the page.
I found a price for less somewhere else:?
Work with the company that provides a professional rental
product. Any one can rent a chair cover and organza sash from
somewhere on the web for $2. You get what you pay for. We process
many last minute orders at much higher prices correcting a situation
gone bad in these cases the day before the event. What if the
shipper incorrectly routes your shipment to Alaska? With all rental
companies you’re still liable…EP has the inventory and the mindset
to correct these issues, most smaller companies don’t have the
inventory to replace your lost shipment and most large companies say
its not my problem. We do. We hand inspect and fold every item
before it leaves our warehouse. We also provide you with customer
service that we can say most do not…referrals are still an important
part of our business. .
How does the process work? I’m interested:?
“I’m interested and would like more information. I have time to
make the decision so I want all the details!” Simple, to preview
linen swatches (3 inch samples of fabric) in the fabrics and colors
you are interested on the Info form (click the info link above). We
will send you these along with a rental estimate in the mail if you
so request. Be sure to preview the standard rental contract
identified by the link on the info page.
I know Ill need what you rent but unsure on who to select:?
Take your time, call us if need be. This is an important
decision. We process hundreds of orders every week to customers all
over the nation. Our product is top notch. We use all professional
equipment, which assures the same quality on every item. We don’t
use chlorine bleach, which yellows fabric. We use a steaming process
so the items are uniformly pressed. We can process tablecloths in
one pass so that creases are kept to a minimum. The employees of EP
are dedicated in providing the best for you on your event date. If
you want to preview the linen to assure yourself that you made the
right decision, you are welcome to preview actual rental items
before signing a contract. Preview the standard rental contract
identified by the link on the info page.
I’m interested but would like to Preview a sample rental item to
ensure quality/fit!
Good, this usually answers most people’s doubts. (Be careful to
allow yourself time to make your decision as our linen rents very
fast and we cant guarantee availability until you place a deposit.)
Our product is top notch. If you want to preview the linen to assure
yourself that you made the right decision, you are welcome to
preview actual rental items before signing a contract. We pull an
actual rental item coming off the line. (Most companies send brand
new covers that have never been used as a rental). This ensures us
that our quality is impeccable. There is a $12(USA) fee that covers
shipping and handling to get the items to you. We print return
labels for you so once you’re finished with the sample items you pop
the return label on and drop the bag at any UPS store location or
drop box. Preview the standard rental contract identified by the
link on the info page.
I want to reserve to ensure I receive a great deal!
“I have shopped around and your product looks great, your price
is very competitive, and I know Ill be hiring a professional
company.” Great, you have made the correct decision! You must call
us to reserve any linen. A 25% deposit is required to hold the linen
for your event date. This amounts to your anticipated total. The
deposit may be refundable, review the contract for details. You must
sign the contract and complete all the information and fax it or
mail it to us.
How do I obtain shipping quotes?
Shipping normaly can be approximated at 10.00 per 100 standard
chair covers, 6.00 per 100 standard sashes, 5.00 per 100
lame\satin\sparkle organza sashes.
Note: Local customers will be billed normal pickup and delivery
charges (non-UPS delivery from 10.00(Palatine) to 30.00(Orland Park)
each way.
How far in advance do I need to reserve linens for my
wedding?
Although, there are no formal restrictions about how far in
advance to order your linens, we do recommend reserving atleast one
month in advance to guarantee availability, two to three is
best.
Can I change the number of chair covers that I have
ordered?
Reserved linens may be adjusted up/down 10% up to two weeks
before your wedding. A representative will contact you two weeks
before to confirm final numbers
How will my linens arrive?
Your linens will arrive neatly pressed and folded in boxes
(National) or hung (Local).
How do I return my linens?
Linens may be returned in the same boxes that they arrived in to
the address below. Linens must be returned the next business day
after an event (example: a Saturday wedding must be sent back on
Monday).
Is there anyway to have someone set them up for us? Is there a
charge? If so, how much?
Installation can be performed if you are in the Chicagoland area.
The installation runs anywhere from 1.00 to 1.50 per chair cover
depending on the time allowed to setup, amount of time allowed to do
the setup (smaller window requires additional crews), and distance
to the location we are setting up.
Can we pick up the linen from your facility?
Yes, you may pick up the items free of charge from our Elgin,
Illinois facility.
Do we need to clean or Iron the items before we return it to
your facility?
No Ironing or cleaning needs to be done to the linen prior to
shipping. You must only remove the food and debris from all
tablecloths and covers. Food left on the linen will mold (especially
if it shipped more than a day from our facility).
Would there be directions for handling/setting up the covers
& sashes?
Putting the covers onto the chairs are pretty self explanatory.
Talk to one of our counselors if you need assistance. Tying the sash
into a bow is also like tying a shoe but your counselor can assist
you with diagrams and explanations on how to do elaborate ties
(Rosette, Tux, European, Bunch, etc...).
Could we view the covers beforehand and possible bring it to the
hall to see if they match the table cloths??
You can get a sample of the fabric (small swatch 2 inches in
diameter) at no charge. Click on the order button to obtain these
samples. Enter your information with a request for the sample
fabrics and colors you'd like to see. When you place a deposit with
us, we will automatically send an actual cover and sash for your
approval. This is also to ensure that the chair cover fits the chair
at your reception site. You can get the cover and sash without
signing a contract, but a fee applies (part of which can be applied
twoards your balance).
What if the chair cover does not fit?
We have several different types of chair covers. Banquet Round,
Square, Scalloped, Large, and Folding. We have a cover for 99.9% of
the chairs out there.
What if the chair has arms?
That is the .1%..we do not have covers that cover chairs with
arms. Not yet
anyway! |
