Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a rental with you?
We encourage you to come shop in person, if possible! Our website inventory is being updated daily with new items, but we have many more fantastic pieces to see here at our DTLA warehouse. We are open Mon-Fri from 9:30am-5:30pm, and after/before hours & weekends, by appointment. You can call or text us anytime with questions or prop emergencies at (323) 440-7176.
Of course, we understand that it may not be possible to visit us in person - and if this is the case, you may submit items for a quote online.
No inquiry is too small! Here's how:
- Create an Account
- Add items to your Set List
- Submit your Set List as a Hold Request
We will get back to you right away with availability.

Can my production get extended rental discounts?
We offer production rental discounts to our customers, but they are not automatic. The date range must be determined at the time of order confirmation. The extended rental discounts will only be given to productions that have established a confirmed date range. A production rental discount cannot be generated retroactively after an order has shipped.
Extended rental discounts will be applied as follows:
1st week: | Full price |
2nd week: | 50% |
3rd week: | 50% |
4th week: | Free |
5th week: | Full price |
6th week: | 50% |
7th week: | 50% |
8th week: | Free |
9th week and on: | 50% off |
Can items be taken on "memo"?
We do not allow items to be taken free of charge “on memo”. If you have a need for PD/Director/Client approval we may on a limited basis give a same day discounted day rate (open hours to close). Any rental that goes beyond the allotted time period will be charged at the full weekly rate.
How many items can I hold?
We do not have a strict number limit on items to be held, however we ask that you let us know as soon as you can of any items we may release and please only hold items you feel are likely to be approved for your set. We will require your contact information, hold date and length of rental in order to hold an item for you.
What happens if I have an early return?
Production rentals are billed in their entirety during the first week of the rental. Please make the confirmed rental period/s, from ship to return clear to your salesperson so we can bill correctly. We do not guarantee refunds if the props are returned early.
When can I send our truck to pick up?
We will not pack up an order until we have verbal or written confirmation. Please make sure you send us an email or give us a call to confirm your order.
At the time of confirmation, we can give you an estimate of when your order will be ready for pick up. Please allow enough time for us to prepare your order. Order readiness will depend on how busy we are. We cannot guarantee "rush orders".
What happens if I cancel an order after confirmation?
Confirmed orders that are canceled after they have been pulled are subject to a 25% restocking fee.
What happens if my truck is late/ shoot dates have been postponed?
If you are having delays in your production schedule please don’t hesitate to give us a call and let us know when we may expect you. Any confirmed orders that are not picked up for more than 24 hours without advanced notice are subject to being put back in inventory for other customers to shop.
What happens if the props/set dressing our show rented are never on camera/used?
All items that have left our dock are considered “rented” merchandise, and therefore billed accordingly.
What happens if I pay late?
If your production is on NET 30 terms and payment is not received within 30 days of the date you are invoiced, your NET 30 privileges will be revoked and you will be put on C.O.D. terms. We may hold any additional orders until payment from previous orders is fulfilled in full. Additional discounts applied to your order will be null and void. We reserve the right to charge 1.5% interest that accrues every 30-day period your payment is late.
How do I close out my account?
All rentals are subject to check in. We will determine if there is any damage or loss within 48 hrs. Please have a member of your department contact us to make sure your invoices have been paid in full or have valid Purchase Order Numbers (P.O.#’s) and that there are no outstanding items or damage. Extended rental charges will accrue on missing items until your rental is closed out and all outstanding items and loss/damage issues are resolved.
