FAQs

What is your policy on delivery and setup?

Delivery, setup and pickup of  a bounce house is available at a nominal fee of $100, from our door to yours, within a 20 mile radius of our location at 123 Liberty St. in Danvers, MA. Extra charges will apply for distances more than 20 miles from our location.

Some items may be delivered up to 24 hours before your event date/time, or could be delivered up to an hour before your event start time. Items ordered together will not necessarily be delivered together.

All prices listed on this web page may or may not include setup and delivery. For further information, please call our Danvers MA location at 978-777-2050.

What is your policy for cancellations or order changes?

Event bookings, equipment rentals and agreements can only be confirmed with a 50 percent deposit in advance. The deposit is non-refundable. It is, however, put into your account and can be used towards any future booking for up to one year from the date of cancellation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but every time someone books an item we 1.) take it out of the "availability" list, therefore losing the business of any subsequent booking; 2) have it taken out of the warehouse and staged for delivery; 3) arrange logistics around the delivery with one of our trucks. This means many warehouse hours of labor, logistic planning and truck loading. This costs us money. When someone cancels, we have to reverse the process, causing additional overhead labor. Essentially, holding your deposit towards a future booking isn't penalizing you for the overhead that we were unable to justify with revenue, it's using the honor system holding you to a promise to book with us in the future. Because we understand "things happen" and you probably didn't cancel on purpose, we think this is fair and a "win-win" solution.

Order Changes: Changes to a reservation must be made at least 72 hours in advance of a pickup or delivery. An additional 25 percent fee will be charged for all changes made with less than 72 hours notice.

Can I pick up my rental?

Total Entertainment is open seven days a week and pickup times are flexible and always available.

Do you offer rain date insurance?

Yes. However, since your 50 percent deposit is non-refundable, it is automatically applied to your next rental. If your item is not available, a suitable replacement will be found. If you would like to purchase a "Rain Insurance" policy to absolutely guarantee your item for your rain date, that can be purchased for an additional charge of 50 percent of your rental price. Call for more information at 978-777-2050.

What happens if any rental items are lost or damaged?

Responsibility for rental items remains with the lessee from the time of delivery to the time of return. Please be sure all items are secured during time of use and protected from the weather. We do charge for missing or broken items.

What inspired Total Entertainment?

Owner Rich Kraby spent much of his childhood entertaining and singing at family parties, eventually progressing into the world of singing telegrams and costumed character impersonation. He was encouraged to take out an ad in the local newspaper, which eventually led to Rich expanding his range of services and starting Total Entertainment.
