FAQs

Everything about delivery, deposits, surfaces, weather, and keeping the rentals cute. Something else? party@inflatefortyeight.com answers fast.

Does the price include delivery and setup?

Yes — delivery, setup, and pickup are included, and delivery is free in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and Queen Creek. The rest of the Valley is served with a delivery fee of $50–$250 depending on distance, and out-of-Valley requests are quoted case by case.

When do you set up and pick up?

Morning setups run between 7am and 3pm, coordinated around your event start time, with same-day pickup after the party. Pickups after 9pm carry a $50 late-night fee plus $50/hour for additional delays.

Do you require a deposit?

A $50 non-refundable deposit reserves inflatables; soft play, ball pits, and tables & chairs take a 50% deposit. Every deposit applies toward your total.

What if I need to cancel?

Deposits are non-refundable, but you can reschedule any time — rescheduling more than once adds a $50 inconvenience fee. Card processing fees (~3%) aren't refundable once paid in full.

What surfaces can you set up on?

Grass, turf, asphalt, concrete, pavers, and indoor venues all work — stakes anchor on grass, sandbags everywhere else. We cannot set up on rocks, gravel, or dirt under any circumstances.

Do you set up at parks?

Yes — we're fully licensed and insured for park events. The park needs to provide power (or add our 2,500 W generator for $75) and a water hookup for waterslides.

Will the rentals be clean?

Every rental is sanitized and dried after each use. Our units aren't brand new, but they're held to genuinely high cleanliness standards — it's a founding principle of the company. Contactless delivery is available on request.

What's your bad-weather policy?

Inflatables must deflate in sustained winds above 15 mph — that's a safety rule, not a preference. Cancel before 7am on event day and your deposit is held for a reschedule; after 7am, full payment is due. We sell time rented, not time used.

What payment do you accept?

Credit, debit, or cash — payment in full is due at delivery. If paying cash, please have exact change; our crews don't carry cash.

Any bounce house no-no's?

No shoes, food, drinks, face paint, confetti, gender-reveal powder, silly string, or markers. Face paint permanently stains — replacement starts at $500.
