Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Flamingo Surprise cost?
Prices are dependent upon distance travelled from our location.  Call us at
510.532-7272 to get a specific cost.

What is included in with a Flamingo Surprise?
A typical yard display will include 50 pink flamingos or 30 of any of our
other display items.  Each display includes a 4'x3' sign which can be
personalized to exploit the 'victim's' name and age, or whatever occasion
you're celebrating in 6" letters.  Design your own message or use one of
ours.  See below to find out about doing displays indoors.

How much room do I have for my message?
We have 2 sizes of sign.  The 3-line sign will display 15 characters and
spaces per line; the 4-line sign will display 12 characters and spaces per
line.  

How far in advance should I plan my surprise?
We prefer at least a week's notice, but we often are able to deliver on very
short notice, even for the next day.

When are displays delivered and picked up?
We deliver between midnight and dawn.  We pick up displays after 6:00pm
that evening.  Late pick ups can be arranged. Additional days can be
purchased for a minimal added fee.  Other delivery times can be arranged
with advanced notice.

How far will you go to deliver?
We cover the Metropolitan Areas of: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San
Francisco, and Santa Clara Counties as well as many of the surrounding
counties.  If it's within 100 miles of Oakland, chances are we'll deliver
there,  Call us to find out.  (A map will be available soon.)  

What else should I know?
We deliver every night of the year.
We will deliver to condominiums and town homes however you will
need to provide detailed directions on where to set up.
We deliver in all kinds of weather.

How do I place my order?
Call us at 510 532-7272 between the hours of 10:00am and 5:00pm
Monday through Friday.   We accept Visa and MasterCard.  If you prefer
to pay by check, we must receive your check at least 5 business days
prior to the date of your Flamingo Surprise.  

What if I want to have the display in an office?
We have a few items that can be used indoors. Right now that includes
frogs, teddy bears, penguins and flamingos.  An indoor display is made up
of fewer items and uses a different type of sign.   Ask about the details
when you call.  We will need someone "inside" to coordinate access and
help us with where to set up.  Because an office set up requires your
participation and usually is delivered and picked up during daylight hours,
we may need a few extra days notice to make it work with our schedule.  
We do our best to make it work for you but the more notice you can give
us, the better..
