Preparing for Pickup or Delivery

Renter Help · 6 min read

A practical checklist for handoff timing, location, access, contact information, quantity, and item inspection.

A smooth handoff starts with confirming the practical details before the rental is due for pickup or delivery.

Before the handoff

  • Confirm the date and expected handoff time.
  • Confirm the pickup location or delivery address shown for the rental.
  • Make sure someone will be available to receive or pick up the items.
  • Review site access, parking, loading, gates, elevators, stairs, or other constraints.
  • Know the quantity and included items you expect.
  • Keep the listing or booking details easy to access.

When the items arrive

Compare the items with the listing and your booking information. If something appears materially different or there is a marketplace problem, document what you see and contact the vendor or PartyShare through the available account and support tools.
