Delicate Dishes LLC does offer delivery and pick-up. Because Delicate Dishes is a small family business we are limited on how many services we can offer each weekend.
We do not offer services on Sundays.
If you are able to pick-up and return rentals, pick-up is in Kalamazoo, MI. Items can be picked up a day or two before your event and can be returned a couple of days after, usually on Monday or Tuesday.
Descriptions of services:
Delivery Service - We would load all the rentals and bring them to your venue and unload them to whatever area/s that are designated.
and
Pick up Service - We would load all the packed items into our vehicle and transport them back to Delicate Dishes.
Delivery & pickup fees are figured based on the following formula:
$2.54 per mile from venue for delivery ($30 minimum)
$2.54 per mile from venue for pick up ($30 minimum)
If Delivery/Pickup is more than 20 crates/racks + $0.50/mi
Cleaning of our rentals - We wash all rented tableware, however:
Flatware must be rinsed immediately after your event to remove sauces and food which can damage the silver or gold plating
Plates must be scraped of food
Goblets must be emptied
Brass candlestick holders must have wax removed to receive a refund of the refundable wax cleaning deposit. Refund of this deposit is per item. (The brass finish is ruined by really high heat, do not use boiling water, heat torch or hair dryer on highest setting. Hot soapy tap water is fine. Freezing is also fine.)
