We rented a double jogger stroller and a pack & play crib for a week. We liked that we were able to add an additional item at the last minute. I reserved the items via phone and did not need or receive a confirmation number, which was odd at first.
The items were delivered and set-up on time when we arrived in our unit. We had an early check-in so it was nice that everything was delivered early.
I am giving a 3-star rating because the stroller and crib was a bit old. The stroller was dirty and a bit worn down. I wasn't expecting a brand new stroller, but I expected something in better condition. It all worked though and nothing was broken, so maybe others don't mind. I, however, am on the picky side.
The pack and play was also on the old side. It came with a fitted sheet cover, but we washed it anyways to make sure it was clean. Our unit came with a washer and dryer so we were able to do that.
Things I recommend for the business:
- Provide an e-mail confirmation or reference number to ease the worry of the customer. A receipt would have been great to understand the charges.
- Eliminate the $20 fee if a customer orders more than one item. I understand this fee since the owner probably has to drive to other side of the island to make a delivery. However, I believe that it should be waived if the customer has more than one item.
- Provide a back-up call line for questions/inquiries/emergencies during teh weekends. The company isn't open on weekends so there's no way to get in touch with them on weekends... which is the usual arrival time for vacationers.
- Provide an instructional booklet for the items. We didn't know how to fold our stroller. Thank goodness we had internet access so we YouTubed an instructional video. If a paper booklet couldnt be provided, an e-mail link would be sufficient.
- Provide clear instructions on pick-up and drop-off. I wasn;t sure about the items when we checked out so I had to ask front desk for the answer.
Aside from these, I still would rent from the company and I would recommend them. I think the business would improve significantly if any of the recommendations above were to be adopted/considered. read more
