Would you like to pickup the wheel or have it delivered

Potter&dabble is based in Dairy Flat, Auckland. You are more than welcome to come and pick up your rental. You can park right in front of our studio, so the wheel only needs to be carried 2m from our studio to the boot of your car.

The wheel must be carried by two people. We can provide one person at our end, please ensure you are able to provide either yourself or someone else to help lift the wheel. The wheel must be secured in your car, we ask if you can bring tie down straps or rope with you. If this isn't possible, let us know as we have some available.

Please view full terms and conditions to understand about your obligations in looking after the wheel. 

We are also more than happy to deliver the pottery wheel & stool to your property and also to pick up after the rental period is finished (Delivery must be to your home within the Auckland Region). You can add this into the checkout when booking a wheel if your suburb is listed, or simply place a note in the booking and we will be in touch to quote your delivery. Unfortunetly we don't do deliveries outside the Auckland region at this stage. 

NB: We are based in Dairy Flat, so set pricing has been worked out from our location in Dairy Flat.

Step Four: Booking, payment and security deposit

Once you have chosen the length of your rental, and how it will reach your home, the next step is to pay. We have teamed up with Stripe, who will manage the payment side.

We also require a security deposit for the wheel. Stripe will place a pre-authorization of NZ$300 onto your card. The money is just 'on hold'. Once the wheel is returned in accordance with our terms and conditions (same condition as you hired it from us), the money will be released. We do not at any time hold your security deposit or your credit card details.

What to bring if your picking up the wheel

If you decided to pickup the wheel from our lil studio in Dairy Flat, we ask that you bring the following with you:

1) Four tie down straps / pieces of rope so that we can secure the vehicle in your carboot. Don't have any, no worries, we also have some here you can use

2) Your drivers license

3) A utility / council bill so that we can match your details to those you entered at time of booking

If someone is pickup up the wheel on your behalf, they will also need to provide a driver's license. The above can be emailed. prior to commencement of booking.
