Terms and Conditions

• If any damage occurs to the rental garment during the customers rental period they must immediately notify Mama Rentals with photos of the damage;
• Mindfully avoid getting any stains (perfume, spay tan, rock dust, grass, pollen) on the garment to avoid additional fees - this includes, but not limited to: holding the dress while you walk, at all times; Avoid sitting directly on any types of surfaces such as grass or rocks to avoid staining the back of the garments.
• The garment is for your use only. It must stay in your own possession and control for the entire rental period;
• Make no alterations or additions to the garment or in any other manner interfere with the garment; In rare circumstances where it is necessary, you must consult with Mama Rentals prior to doing so.
• Generally speaking, we have a "no fake tan" policy as fake tan can react with sweat and permanently stain fabrics. If the customer elects to use fake tanning products against our advice, they must apply at least 2 days prior to wearing the garment, and apply baby powder in areas such as underarm, under bra to prevent it from staining the garment; However, if permanent stains occur after all the pre-caution has been taken, you are still liable for damages. 
• Return the rental garment in the pre-paid return satchel or postal box, along with the branded drawstring bag, before 3.30pm on the last day of their rental period.
• It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the satchel or postal box is lodged at a post office and a lodgement receipt is obtained. Dropping a parcel off at a street side post box will cause loss of tracking information and delays - if you have dropped the parcel at a street side box despite our advice, you will be responsible for late fees should delays occur.
• If you elect to pickup/drop off, place your Mama Rentals’ drawstring garment bag on the hook outside the front door, before the end of your rental period.
• If you have misplaced or lost our drawstring garment bag, a fee of $5 (for a small bag) or $7 (for a large bag) will be incurred. Should the lost garment bag be retrieved later and returned to us, we will refund the fee charged. For shipping information, please contact us.

All customers must comply with a standardised Late Fee Policy that Mama Rentals will enforce to protect our services. Mama Rentals relies on customers returning items in a timely manner.

If your return date falls on a weekend or public holiday, you must lodge your return by 3.30pm the following business day. If you pick up/drop off your order from our address (8/24-26 Forestville Avenue, Forestville NSW 2087) you must place your order on the hook, outside of our front door.

Mama Rentals keeps record of all returning tracking numbers to ensure they can keep records of what stage of the shipment the return satchel/box is at. It is not our responsibility if you do not properly lodge your return and the tracking is not showable on the Australia Post website. We therefore strongly suggest you return your satchel/box over the counter at your local post office and obtain a lodgement receipt. If you drop off your satchel/box at a street side post box against our instructions, late fees will apply. Late fees for post box drop offs will be calculated from the date that return is due, until the date the first status update or scan is shown on the Australia Post website.

For each day a garment is late, a fee of 20% of the rental price is charged. By choosing to not pay a late fee or return your garment is a direct violation of Mama Rental's Terms & Conditions.
