The cost explanation
The rental fit within the first 28-day cycle. The manager stated a $262.60 initial charge and $15.95 tax, and confirmed a $278.55 payment. A separate $29 pickup fee remained payable after collection. No prorated three-week price was offered.
Placement and delivery contact
After discussing earlier unattended delivery, the customer selected Thursday when someone would be on site. The final Thursday instruction superseded earlier date references. The site contact was to guide placement.
What this rental teaches
Short construction work can still use a full billing period. For a school site, give the correct contact and agree access; the call did not publish security procedures or the school identity. The business confirmed the rental as completed, while the recorded arrangement required a call to request pickup.
