You can make payments in the following ways:
Credit/Debit Card: Pay through your client portal after placing your booking.
Check: Send a check to our warehouse before the event date or hand it to us on-site.
Cash: Pay on-site. Please have exact change, as our team does not carry cash.
A card must be on file to place your deposit and reserve your inflatables.
This card will also cover any damages (if you opt out of the Damage Waiver) or additional fees such as extra cleaning due to banned items, delayed site access, obstructions, or locked gates. For details, refer to our Fees Schedule below.
-
Deposit: A deposit is required upon booking to reserve your inflatables. Online bookings without a deposit within 24 hours will be canceled and can only be reinstated based on item availability and deposit receipt.
Full Payment: We prefer full payment 48 hours before your event date. If full payment is not received by the end of equipment setup, we will charge your card on file for the remaining balance. If you haven’t paid online before the event date, only cash or check will be accepted on-site before we unload the equipment. Refer to the Fees Schedule below for returned checks.
Please note that any cash payment overages will be considered gratuity.
-
Event Cancellations: Pee Dee Inflatables reserves the right to cancel any event for any reason. In such cases, all payments made will be fully refunded. Please refer to your event contract for complete details.
Client Cancellations:
Less Than 7 Days Before Delivery: If you cancel less than 7 days before the delivery date for any reason other than inclement weather, you can reschedule or receive a full refund minus the deposit if no alternative date is available.
More Than 7 Days Before Delivery: If you cancel more than 7 days before the delivery date, you can reschedule or receive a full refund if no alternative date is available.
Incorrect Dates:
Please ensure all desired start and end dates/times are accurate within your booking. If an incorrect date is booked, you may reschedule (pending availability) or cancel more than 7 days before your event date for a full refund. If you cancel less than 7 days before the event and no suitable alternative is found, a refund minus the deposit will be provided.
Inclement Weather:
In the event of heavy rain, winds exceeding 15 mph (including gusts), or other dangerous weather conditions, we reserve the right to deny setup for any outdoor events to ensure the safety of participants, staff, and equipment.
If setup is denied by us or canceled by you due to inclement weather, you can reschedule, pending availability, or receive a full refund.
We monitor the weather in the delivery area as best as possible. Please call us before the morning of your rental date to discuss rescheduling options if you anticipate bad weather.
If our truck has left the warehouse for delivery and no inclement weather is present, you are responsible for the full rental price.

Delivery: All inflatables are delivered and set up by our team. We do not offer customer pickups at this time.
Complimentary Overnight Delivery: While complimentary overnight delivery is included, it is not guaranteed. Your rental officially begins and ends as stated in your booking. We will not leave any items overnight at non-residential venues unless discussed prior to booking.
Delivery Schedule: We use software to optimize our delivery routes and times according to all customer needs on a given event date.
Deliveries typically occur between 7 AM and 11 AM, with times being approximately within a 15-minute window.
An authorized person must be present at the start of the scheduled delivery time to ensure proper placement and payment of any balances.
If no authorized person is present, our team will place the inflatables to the best of their judgment. Moving an inflatable after placement incurs an additional labor fee (see Fees Schedule).
Your delivery time will be established at least 3 days before your event and communicated via email.
You may request a different delivery time, though it is not guaranteed and may incur an additional fee (see Fees Schedule).
We strive to ensure your delivery and setup are completed on time for your event. It is your responsibility to confirm the correct start time was requested.
In some cases, to meet your event start time or for other reasons, we may adjust your delivery date and time outside your event date. We will notify you at least 48 hours in advance. No additional fees will be incurred if we request to move your delivery time to an earlier day, and you may deny our request.
Access and Delays: If our team cannot access the delivery site due to the absence of an authorized person, a Delivery Delay Fee may be incurred.
Once the unit is inflated and secured, moving it is not allowed by anyone other than Pee Dee Inflatables staff and will void any damage waivers. Please do not move our units once set up without prior discussion.
Post-Event & Pickup: At the scheduled end of your event, ensure all guests exit the inflatables and turn off all blowers and water hoses if applicable.
If applicable, turn on the inflatables the following morning to assist in drying them for pickup. All inflatables, power cords, and hoses are to be taken down and removed by our team only.
Pickups generally occur at the same time as your delivery the following day, but they may be made later or may be made the same day to meet other booking obligations.
Your pickup time will be established at least 3 days before your event and communicated via email. You may request a different pickup time, though it is not guaranteed.
We make every effort to guarantee your scheduled pickup time. It is your responsibility to confirm the correct event end time during your booking to avoid early pickups.

Our top priority is safety. Since our first day of operation, we have maintained an incident-free record. Conducting a thorough risk assessment is essential to ensure a fun and safe experience with our party and event rental equipment.
Deflation: If an inflatable begins to deflate or collapse, remain calm and direct everyone to exit the inflatable immediately. If someone is trapped inside a collapsed inflatable, stay calm, instruct someone to re-inflate the product, and assist the person in exiting the inflatable simultaneously.
Inclement Weather: Participants should not use inflatable products during inclement weather (rain, wind, etc.). In case of sudden or inclement weather, vacate the inflatables and unplug the power source to the blower immediately. Ensure the weather is clear and the power source is dry prior to plugging anything back in.General Safety Rules
