Local deliveries will be done by Land of Giggles unless otherwise stated. There is a one off charge of £10 for delivery and collection within Manchester. Costumes will not be delivered unless signed for by a person at the delivery address. Should no-one be available to receive delivery then the hire fee will be lost. For local deliveries we may make a subsequent delivery attempt where practical however this will incur an extra fee of £10.
All quotes unless specified are for UK MAINLAND ONLY delivery to Highlands and Islands will be more. When delivery shall be deemed to occur by Land of Giggles, the goods will be delivered to the hirer at the location agreed on the booking form contract from 8am to 6pm on the day BEFORE the hire day (unless otherwise advised or due to holiday). When collection shall be deemed to occur from the client, the goods will be collected from the hirer at the SAME location as delivery 8am to 6pm on the day after the hire day (unless otherwise advised or due to holiday). If the hirer is unable to accept delivery or collection at the agreed times, and if this results in a delay in collection Land of Giggles will add a £10 fee for every day the goods are unreturned. If the Hirer fails to respond to contact Land of Giggles about damage to a returned costume, Land of Giggles shall after 48 hrs deduct the deposit and refund the excess (if any remains). Collection from a different address is subject to a £5 admin fee.The client may receive texts from the courier to give advisory times for delivery and collection. These are advisory only and Land of Giggles cannot be held responsible for variations to these delivery times. The client must not reschedule the delivery directly with the courier via text or phone in any circumstances. Delivery and Collection dates are non-negotiable without explicit consent in writing from Land of Giggles
If delivery shall be deemed to occur, the risk of loss or damage of any kind in the goods shall pass to the Hirer on delivery (whether or not a carrier be the shops agent or servant).
In the event that the shop shall at the request of the Hirer arrange for the goods to be dispatched or dealt with otherwise than by collection by the Hirer or instruction by Land of Giggles, the Hirer shall pay to the shop the shop's reasonable charges for the provision or procurement of such services including any reasonable carriage insurance costs. In the event of delayed collection be it the cause of the hirer or not, the hirer must assist Land of Giggles to return the mascot to the shop. This includes but is not limited to ensuring the hirer is available to sign for the courier on days other than agreed in this contract.
The Hirer shall carefully examine the goods on receipt of the same and shall immediately notify the shop of any defect within 4 hrs of receipt of goods. In the absence of any such notification the shop reserves the right to reject any claims arising out of the defect which may affect the hirers deposit. In the case of goods delivered to the Hirer otherwise than by collection by the Hirer or the Hirer's agent or servant, receipt for the purposes of this sub-clause shall be deemed to take place the day after the goods are dispatched from the shop. The hirer is solely responsible for ensuring the return mascot container is secured and addressed correctly with the means supplied and instructed e.g.: cable ties. Failure to do this may result in damage of the packaging and mascot on the return courier service. If this is deemed to occur the responsibility falls to the hirer to pay for reparation of damage and the deposit may be deducted accordingly in such a case. The Hirer is fully responsible for obtaining a receipt proof of collection for the return of the Mascot to Land of Giggles.
