PRICES AND POLICIES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

Confirmation Policy:
A confirmation invoice form will be e-mailed on the day you order. This form must be signed and returned immediately to Charles H. Stewart Co. Ltd. Your order is NOT confirmed until we receive this SIGNED form.

Payment Policy:
$100 non-refundable deposit per drop per week is due as a reservation fee. This fee may be made by credit card (preferred) at the time of order or by check within 10 days after the order (at Charles H Stewart’s discretion). Full payment is due at least 14 days prior to shipping.
Any orders placed within 14 days of the ship date must be paid in full via credit card at the time of order.

If renter has a credit card on file with us, they agree that Charles H Stewart is authorized to charge any non-refundable deposit, full payment, balance, extended rental, damage charges or late fees to their credit card.

Cancellation Policy:
Orders cancelled two weeks or more prior to the scheduled date of shipment will forfeit the non-refundable deposit. Orders cancelled less than 14 days prior to the scheduled date of shipment are subject to the full rental fee.

If we ship any backdrops to you and you do not use them, then we must be notified PRIOR to your show, AND we must have proof of the return shipping date for you to receive any credit. In this instance, there would be a restocking fee of $100 per drop applied (at CHS’ discretion). During peak seasons *, there are NO refunds if the backdrops have already been shipped.

* Peak seasons are for any shows that are performed either fully or partially from March 1-June 30 and November 1-December 31.

Shipping Policy:
We ship our backdrops through UPS. The shipping charges BOTH WAYS will be included on the confirmation invoice form. You will receive your backdrops on the Monday prior to your show whenever possible. When you receive your backdrops, the return shipping labels will be affixed to one of the boxes in a pouch. The return labels will also be through UPS. DO NOT return ship the backdrops using any other carrier other than UPS unless pre-arranged with Charles H Stewart Co Ltd at the time of order. In order to avoid any additional fees, DO NOT return ship any backdrop under ANY circumstance through the United States Postal Service.

You must return ship the backdrops on the Monday after your show or on the date confirmed with Charles H Stewart Co Ltd, so as not to interfere with someone else's production or to incur any additional charges/late fees (the 8th day starts the new week). When you return ship the backdrops to Charles H. Stewart Co Ltd or to any other destination supplied by Charles H. Stewart Co Ltd., simply place the corresponding labels on the respective boxes (each label will include the backdrop identification number so that you can match the label with the correct backdrop). If you should happen to lose any of the return labels, contact us immediately and new labels will be e-mailed to you right away. If you send any backdrop to the wrong address or by using any carrier other than UPS without Charles H Stewart Co Ltd’s consent, then you are responsible for any shipping charges and/or any other fees to correct the error.

To return ship the backdrops, you can drop them off with the prepaid labels attached to a UPS customer counter (highly recommended) or UPS Store (not highly recommended, but OK). You can also arrange for UPS to pick up the backdrops from you. In this case, call UPS at least one business day prior to the date you want the pickup made (for a Monday pickup, you must make arrangements by the Friday before). Let UPS know that the packages are prepaid and that you just need a pick up. You may incur a pick up fee from UPS for this service, which you would pay to UPS directly. Also, if your company has a UPS account, just bring the packages with the prepaid labels attached to your shipping and receiving so that they can be placed in the daily, outgoing shipment. Remember that the pre-paid return labels are NOT call tags. You must still arrange for a pick up or drop them off at a UPS location.
