WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO RENT PROPS FROM BROOKLYN OPTICS?

Use your Shopping Cart to collect the props you’re interested in. Access your Cart at any time, from the top right of our website.

When your cart is full, screenshot your desired items and send them over to us; either via email or through the online rental form.

When we receive your wishlist, we’ll check availability and get back to you with a price. To place props on hold we’ll then ask for the 20% deposit and schedule a pick-up appointment.

No payment or confirmation is required to use or submit your wishlist to Brooklyn Optics. Your Cart is not an order confirmation form, and items you submit are treated as a request.

There is no cost to place props on hold, and payment is not needed until you are happy with your quote, and ready to confirm your rental.

HOW CAN I LOOK AT THE PROPS BROOKLYN OPTICS CARRIES?

You can browse our entire inventory in our online catalog, which offers pictures, prices, dimensions, and quantities for each item. Additional pictures or information is provided for many of our props. 

You can also visit our prop house in person during regular business hours. Keep in mind that we are not set up like a showroom, with much of our inventory tucked away in storage. If you would like to see a specific item or set of items, please provide us a list of items in advance and we can have them pulled before you arrive.

HOW LONG CAN I RENT PROPS FOR AN ORDER? DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS?

Prices listed reflect one rental term, before tax. When you rent from us, you have up to 7 days after pickup to return the item. We don’t offer discounts for shorter or one-day rentals. Rentals extending beyond one week will be billed for additional rental terms.

CAN I RESERVE OR HOLD PROPS BEFORE CONFIRMING? HOW CAN I ORDER?

Props may be placed on hold or ordered by phone or e-mail.

While we highly recommend making a list using the Shopping Cart feature for the best and fastest service, you can also contact us directly to reserve or order. Please provide the Prop Item Code (INDU-BARR-4) and Name (Rusty Garbage Can), or attach screenshots of your cart.

ARE PROPS AVAILABLE TO BUY?

All prices are for Rental Only. We do not offer our inventory for sale.

HOW DO I PICK UP AND RETURN PROPS?

Clients can arrange their own pickups and returns to our prop house during normal business hours. Entrance is through our loading dock, and vehicles may use the space to load and unload orders. When picking up and dropping off, let us know the name or company under the order request. Please be sure to share this information if using a 3rd party for pickups and/or returns to avoid any delays in servicing your order.

WHEN CAN I PICK UP AND RETURN PROPS?

Pickups and returns can be made during our normal business hours, Monday thru Friday, 9am to 5pm. You can choose to start or end your rental within any weekly timeframe, however, we encourage all our clients to arrange for rentals to arrive at their destination the day before they’re needed, and to be returned the day after concluding their use. This ensures props are ready in the morning and day of your production and that afterwards, they can be returned on-time during regular business hours.

DOES BROOKLYN OPTICS OFFER DELIVERY SERVICE FOR PROP RENTALS?

BrooklynOptics can arrange delivery and pickup of prop rentals for an additional fee. Deliveries are arranged from 9am to 3pm, Monday thru Friday. The earliest props can leave Brooklyn Optics for a delivery is 9am. The latest props can leave Brooklyn Optics or be picked up from another location is 4pm.
