Delivery and Pick-Up options

Pick-Up from our warehouse - You can arrange to pick up Friday and return the following Monday to our warehouse between 9am to 4pm Unit 3 84-90 Lakewood Blvd Braeside 3195

If these times do not suit, you can contact our office 1300 669 067 to arrange another time as the warehouse is not always staffed.

Do you deliver?

Yes, we deliver and pick up to most suburbs in Melbourne for a fee. This is calculated when you enter in your delivery address at checkout. The fee is calculated from our warehouse in Braeside VIC 3195

Unfortunately due to current COVID circumstances we are no longer able to deliver to venues.

How is the delivery cost calculated?

STANDARD (easy access)

For our standard delivery rate, you will be charged a base rate of $10.00 per delivery plus the kilometre distance between your delivery address and our warehouse in Braeside VIC. Our standard delivery rate is $2.50 per km.

For example, if you are 10kms away from our warehouse, the cost of our standard delivery service would be $10.00 (base rate) plus $25.00 (kilometre rate) total charge would be $35.00. This price includes both drop-off and pick-up.

If you have any further questions about our delivery services or pricing, please don't hesitate to contact us.

STANDARD (difficult access)

Difficult access is determined by Hopscotch Kidstoyhire for residences where access is limited, restricted or parking may be difficult and will incur an additional charge of $25.00 above the standard delivery rate. This charge may be added after we have delivered.

Difficult access to the premise may include the following:

  • Lifts
  • Large Staircases
  • Parking further than 20m from where the items are to be carried
  • Limited car parking in general
  • Longer than average wait time

Do I need to return the items clean?

Yes, please. At the very least, a quick rinse/wipe out of courtesy. Additional cleaning charges may be applied for items returned dirty.

How do you clean and disinfect your equipment?

We clean and sanitise all our equipment after every hire in accordance with guidance from Safe Work Australia and public health authority.

  • We use Australian owned and made products, ENVIROCLEAN® which is a general-purpose cleaner that contains a natural citrus solvent and sanitiser. Once cleaned, we apply FREEDOM® which is a no-rinse odourless hard surface sanitiser.
  • We hand wash every inch of our Jumping Castles, Soft Blocks, PlayPen Walls, and Ride on equipment just like your little ones at bath time.
  • We pressure wash all the Soft Play Mats, Tables and Chairs.
  • We use a specialty ball cleaning machine from Europe (Ballpool® – Global leaders in ball cleaning) for all our ball pit balls. This machine cleans 15,000 balls per hour and re-bags them. They are then hung up to finalise the drying process before re-hiring.

Home Hire

How long can we hire the equipment for use at home?

Rates shown on our website are for 2 days of hire over the weekend. Example: Medium Jumping Castle is $150 for the weekend to hire (pick-up/delivery Friday, and return/pick up Monday). This allows more fun for the little ones.

The hire rate does not include the delivery and pick up fee. This is calculated when you enter your address via our website when going through the order process.

Do you set up and pack down the equipment for home hires?

There is no need for us to set up and pack down as we will show you how easy it is to do when we deliver or when you pick up your hire order. We also send a text message with set-up details for your hired equipment.

COVID

Can we hire equipment during COVID lockdowns and quarantines?

YES! You can hire equipment for home use for celebrations for your little ones during lockdown. This allows some fun to celebrate their birthdays or simply some activities to enjoy during these unpredictable times. It also offers some much-needed relief for the caregivers! We offer contactless deliveries and pickups during lockdowns. To hire equipment during lockdowns you still just need to jump online and place your order and we will be in touch to arrange a contactless delivery and pick up time.
