RENTAL PICKUP NOTICE Once your rental period is complete, our standard scheduled pickup time is 2:00 PM on your confirmed pickup date. Please ensure the equipment is ready and accessible at that time. In some cases, our pickup team may experience delays beyond the scheduled time due to high order volumes and back-to-back fulfillment commitments. We appreciate your patience in such situations. Please do not remove the name tag attached to your rental item, as it is used by our team to identify and verify equipment during pickup. Removing it may cause delays or errors in the collection process
