Original call data
What do South County renters ask about delivery timing?
In 78 recorded customer calls we reviewed from 2025–2026, 26% of callers on our rental line needed same-day or next-day delivery, and 18% wanted a unit for only a few hours or one day. South County renters get the same rules: book 2 business days ahead, and a one-day party still runs Friday to Monday.
“What would it cost to rent a porta-potty for about four hours on a particular day?”
Event caller
“Can you deliver it tomorrow by 7 a.m.?”
Children's center director
“Is there a price difference? Because I know the event ones are usually nicer.”
Event caller
We cannot promise a time slot. That is why event units drop the business day before, so the unit is in place when guests arrive.
