Trucking

Let us handle it

For all rentals, Front Row ships through its shipping partners. Due to the volume of shipping Front Row does each year, Front Row enjoys a significant discount on many shipping lanes which can be passed on to its clients.

Clients are also welcome to arrange their own trucking service to pick up and /or drop off the package they are renting. For clients who use this option, there is a loading and/or unloading fee charged to cover Front Row's crew at the warehouse.

Arrival

Rolls right off

Front Row's Mary Poppins rentals come on custom steel carts or in special wardrobe crates designed to simply roll off the truck*.

Costume rentals are shipped via LTL freight. All scenery travels in one 53' semi truck that will drop the set off and then leave. The truck will return for load out.

Rental sets are designed to be unloaded by crews ranging from 8-16 people, depending on local conditions.

Installation

D.I.Y.

Clients are allowed to have their staff set up the Mary Poppins rentals without a Front Row technician with a signed technician waiver and a refundable damages deposit.

Local

As an optional service, Front Row Theatrical Rental will arrange a local technician to help oversee the installation of the Mary Poppins rental. This tech will be brought from a local IATSE stagehands office. Hiring locally helps keep costs lower but the tech will NOT be familiar with the specifics of the Mary Poppins rentals. The tech is knowledgeable about the best general practices for assembling touring scenery and costume packages.

Concierge

As an optional concierge service, Front Row Theatrical Rental's own professional technician will lead the assembly of the set or the laying out of the costumes package. This tech is knowledgeable about the specifics of this set and/or costume plot. This service is best for theaters who are on a tight schedule or who have to their own additional costs such as union labor or building rental fees.

Pick Up

Rolls Right On

For load-out, Front Row will arrange trucking transportation for the return of the rental package. Costumes and props ship via LTL freight on pallets. Rental scenery is returned on a single 53' truck packed by the client.

Alternative, clients are always free to arrange their own return transportation. An unloading fee will apply on Front Row's dock for the labor needed to unload the rental package.
