Frecuently Asked Questions

We are a distinctly Puerto Rican company working more than 25 years in the manufacture of grinding machines.

I have created a “wish list” on your website. Now what?

The wish list feature on our website is a great way to get an idea of inventory options and related costs. However, it does not reserve or place a hold on the items listed nor can it confirm availability. Once you have finished your wish list and requested a quote, a PLR member will contact you within two business days. If your event will take place within one week, please call us at (787) 237-2009 or (787) 299-5345 instead of submitting a wish list. This is the fastest way to confirm availability of your requested items.

How far in advance should I reserve the equipment I need for my event?

We will accept reservations for wedding receptions one year prior to your big day. For other large events, it’s a good idea to reserve approximately three to six months in advance of your event date. I am ready to make a reservation. How do I go about placing an order? When you are ready to place your order, call our office at (787) 237-2009 or (787) 299-5345. One of our event specialists will check availability, go over pricing and delivery instructions, and answer any questions or concerns you may have at that time. Reservations require a 75% deposit and a credit card to have on file.

Do I need to clean the rentals before I return them?

When renting chair, tables or other equipment’s we ask that you remove any excess debris by rinsing off the equipment prior to returning. You should not wash these items, as some soaps/detergents may damage the equipment. If you rented linens, under no circumstances should you wash or dry them. If linens become wet while in your possession, please allow them to air dry and then place the dirty linens in the bag(s) provided. How are the rental items packed? Rentals are delivered clean and ready for use! Linens are normally folded and bagged for your convenience.

How long is the rental period?

In almost all cases, our rental rates are based on a reasonable event period. We recognize that a 24-hour rental window may not make sense if your event occurs over the weekend. We consider Friday to Monday to be the same as a one-day rental. If your event is on a weekday, we will gladly deliver the day before and pick-up the day after your event for a one-day charge.

Is a deposit required?

Upon reserving, we will ask for a 75% deposit as well as a credit card to have on file. We accept all four major cards. If there is a tent on your reservation, the portion of the deposit covering the tent is non-refundable. Payment is due in full prior to delivery. We will charge the card on file the Wednesday prior to delivery.

Can I make changes to my order without being penalized?

Of course! We recognize that guest counts are likely to fluctuate as the event date approaches. We encourage you to make a “best guess” estimate when placing your original reservation and make adjustments as you become aware they’re needed. Final changes should be made a minimum of two business days prior to the delivery date. Within one business day of the delivery date, additions are subject to a 15% surcharge, and deletions or cancellations will be charged at full price.

What if I have to cancel my reservation?

With the exception of a tent rental, you may cancel without penalty up to two business days prior to delivery. Within one business day of the delivery date, cancellations will be charged at full price. Tents and tent-related items require a non-refundable 50% deposit.

What is the charge for delivery?

Delivery fees start at $25 and are based on distance from our warehouse and difficulty of delivery (multiple levels, elevator access, distance from truck parking to event location, etc.).

Do you offer customer pick-up?

Yes. Customer pick-up is also available for your convenience. During this process PLR is not responsible for damages occurred during transportation by customer.

What time will my rentals arrive?

Delivery schedules are not completed until one business day prior to the delivery date. Unfortunately, late changes to existing orders and other unexpected events such as traffic and bad weather can cause delays or a shuffling of the delivery schedule. You may call our store at any time on the day of delivery and we will make a sincere effort to estimate the time of our arrival.

Do I have to be home when you deliver or pick up my rentals?.

No, you do not have to be home. However, there must be a secure place for the rental items that is shielded from possible inclement weather and easily accessible to our crew

Does your delivery fee include set-up?

Items that require assembly such as tents, stages, and dance floors include set-up and tear-down are included in the rental fee. Set-up of tables, chairs, and tablecloths are available for an additional fees. Tear down is available at the same rates as set-up. These arrangements must be made prior to delivery, on a case by case basis if time and labor permits. A site plan/drawing must be provided and it is highly encouraged that a representative from the event be on-site for set-up.

What happens if we are required to have everything out of the venue immediately after the party?

After hours or Sunday pick-ups can be arranged for an additional fee.

How do I get in touch with you after hours if I have an emergency related to my event?

If an emergency concerning your existing rental order arises during non-business hours, someone on our staff is only a phone call away. Call our main line at (787) 923-6797 and leave a message in the mailbox or send us a text message with a brief description of your problem and we will get back to you as quickly as possible to resolve the problem.

What happens if we damage a piece of rental equipment while it is in our possession?

If you opt for our Equipment Protection Plan, most accidental damage will be covered. Otherwise, you will be charged the replacement cost of the damaged or missing items. Security of the rental equipment is your responsibility! Equipment must be protected from theft and weather-related damage while in your possession!

Do I get my money back if I do not use the equipment?

Unfortunately, no. Once our equipment leaves the warehouse we are not able to rent the items to other customers. Therefore, once the items are in your possession, you must pay for them.

Do you rent tents?

We rent tents for events for which we are providing other equipment. We are happy to discuss your tented event with you, or to recommend other local providers if a tent is the only item you need.

Can you set the linens and table settings?

Decorating services are available at an additional charge and should be arranged in advance. We can help you to set up everything in your events as per your request.
