If you hire out cake stands etc to your clients.. Do you have the client return it or do you go to the venue or client and collect it all back yourself?!

When we rented out cake stands it was the responsibility of the client to return the cake stands in the same condition. We never had an issue where a client couldn't return the  stands themselves by the deadline (outlining late fees in the contract helped with this) but if there was a situation where the client requested that we pick up the stands ourselves we would charge our normal delivery fee for transit time ($1/minute).
