Will my umbrellas be available?

In the unlikely event that your brollies are unavailable, we will be in contact and will process an immediate refund.

As each umbrella has its own hire schedule sometimes a particular umbrella becomes unavailable.  This is often due to high demand or a last minute order.  It is advisable to order your brollies early as we allocate on ’first come first served’ basis.

Brolly Bucket will try to fulfil any request, however, your order is not confirmed until you receive an ‘Order Confirmation Email’ directly from brolly bucket confirming your delivery and collection dates and therefore the availability of your brollies.
