Questions about WhyBuy
What does WhyBuy offer?
WhyBuy offers short-term hire rather than sales: equipment for cleaning, DIY, entertaining, family life and parties, delivered to your door in London and collected when you are done. The homepage shows items such as a Karcher SC3 EasyFix steam cleaner, a projector screen, a candy floss machine, a Coleman OctaGo 3 Man tent and kitchen appliances like a Subcold wine fridge and an 18kg ice machine.
Does WhyBuy deliver outside London?
No, delivery covers Greater London within the M25. If you live outside the M25, you can collect your order from the store at 788A Finchley Rd, London NW11 7TJ, or subscribe to the WhyBuy newsletter to be notified when deliveries become available in your area. The store is open Monday to Sunday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM.
How far in advance do I need to book with WhyBuy?
For standard delivery, book at least 48 hours ahead. If you need the items sooner, call 020 8080 9952 before 3pm to ask about same-day or next-day delivery. Both depend on availability and come with an additional premium delivery charge, so planning two days ahead is the cheaper option for most hires.
Can I order WhyBuy same-day delivery online?
No, same-day delivery was introduced as a pilot with orders taken by phone only. You call in the order with two hours' notice, the daily cut-off is 3pm, and the service is subject to stock availability and a small additional premium charge. The pilot applies to all product categories on whybuy.co.uk.
What is included when I hire from WhyBuy?
WhyBuy follows a «batteries included» approach: the batteries, chargers and essential accessories needed to use the equipment come with it. Each product page explains exactly what is included, any setup required and anything you need to supply yourself, such as food or drink items. The candy floss machine, for example, comes without sugar or sticks.
How do I return items to WhyBuy?
You pack everything back into its original packaging and have it ready for collection in the 2-hour slot you chose when booking. WhyBuy then picks the kit up from your door. If you used Click & Collect, you return the order yourself at the location and time you selected.
Does WhyBuy offer cover for damage to hired items?
Yes, the terms describe two optional waivers. The Damage Waiver releases the hirer from liability for payment for damage to the hired item, and the Damage Waiver Plus covers loss or damage. Both are set out in clause 7 of the Standard Terms & Conditions; without them a Replacement Cost can be charged.
How can I contact WhyBuy?
You can call or send a WhatsApp message to 020 8080 9952, email nohassle@whybuy.co.uk or use the contact form on the Contact Us page. For questions or complaints, the terms also name solutions@whybuy.co.uk. The Finchley Road store is open Monday to Sunday from 9:00AM to 5:00PM if you prefer to visit.
How do WhyBuy's extra-day charges work?
Each item has a price for its first hire period and a separate charge per extra day. The Coleman OctaGo tent costs £75 for the first 72hrs plus £30.00 per extra day, the candy floss machine £45 plus £18.00, the projector screen £25 plus £10.00 and the punch bowl £10 plus £4.00 per extra day.
Who is behind WhyBuy?
WhyBuy is the trading name and trademark of NN2C Limited, registered in England under company number 14239859, at 788A Finchley Road, NW11 7TJ, London, United Kingdom. The company's VAT number is 429026209. NN2C Limited is the contracting party named in the Standard Terms & Conditions for every hire.
WhyBuy: hire party, garden and cleaning kit in London instead of buying it
WhyBuy is a London rental service for things you only need occasionally or even once: a steam cleaner for a weekend, a gazebo and BBQ for a garden party, or extra glasses and an ice machine for a Christmas gathering. The items are delivered to your door within the M25 and collected again when you are done, so you avoid the cost of buying and the problem of storing them afterwards.
A WhyBuy voucher code from save-up.co.uk lowers the hire price of your order, which adds up quickly when you book several items for an event.
A hire range built around parties, gardens and catering
The WhyBuy menu is organised by occasion rather than by product type. Alongside a Christmas section, you find kit for entertaining indoors and outdoors, from patio heaters to a karaoke machine. The brands named on the site include Bosch, Le Creuset, Kärcher, Coleman, Big Game Hunters and Subcold, and the product pages give details such as the 58 pine blocks of the Giant Jenga or the up to 20 wine bottles a Subcold wine fridge holds.
- Outdoor: gazebo, hot tub, BBQ, pizza oven, fire pit and patio heaters
- Catering: glasses and tableware, wine fridge, ice machine, extra oven, fondue set and appliances
- Games: Giant Connect 4, Giant Tetris Tumble, Giant Jenga, skittles, croquet set and beer pong
- Entertainment: speakers, karaoke machine, funfetti machine and smoke machine
- Also on the homepage: cleaning equipment, tech hire, a tent and an inflatable kayak
Delivery and collection in 2-hour slots across the M25
When you book, you choose your rental dates and then a 2-hour slot for delivery and another for collection, so the kit arrives before your guests and leaves when it suits you. Standard delivery needs at least 48 hours' notice. For a last-minute need, a phone call before 3pm can arrange same-day or next-day delivery, subject to availability and a premium charge. If you would rather fetch the order yourself, Click & Collect locations are available, and anyone living outside the M25 can collect from the Finchley Road store, which opens every day from 9:00AM to 5:00PM.
How to save when you hire from WhyBuy
Every item has a price for its first hire period and a lower charge for each extra day, so the length of your booking matters as much as the item itself. Booking 48 hours ahead avoids the premium for same-day delivery, and checking the product page shows what is included before you add things you may not need. A voucher code reduces the hire price; delivery is usually calculated on its own unless the offer states otherwise. The newsletter mainly tells customers outside the M25 when delivery reaches their area.
If you are furnishing or refreshing your home rather than hiring for an event, save-up.co.uk also lists further Home & Furniture shops with voucher codes, such as Fix-a-Floor Voucher Codes, Carpets Online Discount Codes, Online Bedrooms Promo Code and Mattressnextday Voucher Code.
Batteries included and kit maintained between every rental
What sets WhyBuy apart from buying is its «batteries included» approach: the batteries, chargers and essential accessories needed to run the equipment come with it, together with instructions. All products are owned or professionally managed by WhyBuy and are cleaned, checked and maintained between rentals. When you are finished, you pack the kit back into its original packaging for collection. For damage, the terms offer an optional Damage Waiver and a Damage Waiver Plus that also covers loss, and help with choosing the right kit is available on 020 8080 9952.
