Frequently Asked Questions [2008-10-05]
Do I have to pay for the inflatable unit when I place my order?
50% of the total purchase price is due as a deposit at the time you place your order. The remaining balance is due at the time the inflatable unit is ready to ship.
Customization
I want a specific design or color. Will you customize a unit for me?
Yes! We can build you a custom unit. Contact us for more details. All of our units are built to order so you can specify the colors for your unit at no extra charge.
What will shipping cost?
Shipping is usually around $120-$250 for a regular size unit, but it changes based on how far you are from the nearest truck terminal and what area of the country you live in. It’s ofent cheapest to pick up your unit from the nearest terminal, or have your unit shipped to a business address with a loading dock.
Do I pay for shipping upfront?
No. You will pay the shipping costs directly to the shipping company at the time they deliver your units. We do not take any markup on shipping- you pay actual costs directly to the shipper. If you prefer to pre-pay for shipping along with your unit, we can do that. Some games and other items require that shipping be prepaid.
How long does shipping take?
Usually about 5-7 working days, but there are faster ways of receiving them, such as air shipment. If you are in a rush, let us know and we will see what we can work out. Faster shipments do incur higher costs.
How long will it take to make a inflatable unit that is not in stock?
The regular bouncers take a day, but the slides take about a week with the big, complex units taking up to 3 weeks. How long it will take to make your units depends on how many orders are under construction at the time you place your order. Curently, production is running 20-25 days.
What if I find another company that has cheaper prices?
Research has shown that there are plenty of less expensive inflatables in the market, but remember you get what you pay for. Our manufacturing facility has been operated since the beginning, over 15 years now. We are not a startup company with a sewing machine and a garage full of vinyl! We offer a durable, great-looking product that meets ASTM standards at a sharp price. You will not find an inflatable in the market today that compares in quality and price. See our construction features page for more information.
What type of material is used in inflatable manufacturing?
A cold-air inflatable is made with Vinyl Coated Nylon (VCN). VCN is manufactured with use of nylon .which gives the fabric its support. Liquid vinyl is then colored, poured over the scrim and set to harden. VCN comes is various weights from 3 ounce to 22 ounce. The design and use of the inflatable determines which weight VCN is used. The inside support system of an inflatable is made of 210 or 420 Dinear. Dinear is very similar to parachute materials and it is standard for this fabric to be Flame Retardant.
