Please place your order by filling out the form on our website or calling to place via phone (513-207-5522) or emailing queencitystorks@gmail.com. After the order is received, we typically will have the stork delivered and installed within 24-48 hours.

Is there a cancellation policy?
If there is a weather condition that prevents us from installing the stork, you will receive a full refund. If you wish to cancel a stork, we require at least 24-hour notice to receive a full refund. However, if any of the following occur and we cannot set up the stork, you will still be charged the full price:
- We are unable to access the house due to being in a gated community and being denied entry after waiting for at least 10 minutes.
- We are unable to enter a gated community due to incorrect entry code.
- The recipient does not want to accept the stork or asks us to remove it early (you would be charged the full week rental price).
- If an animal (dog or other pet) threatens us as we arrive to set up the stork and we are unable to access the property.
Can I mow the grass while the sign is in the yard?
Please do not mow or use any yard tools while the stork is in your yard, as damage could happen to the stork.
Can I move the stork or attach anything to it?
Please do not move the stork while it is in your yard. If you would like to have it picked up early, please call and we can come remove it for you. Do not attach anything to the stork, including balloons, as these items can melt and attach to the storks causing damage.
What happens if the sign gets damaged?
If the stork is damaged, please contact us immediately. The storks are designed to stand up to different weather conditions but will be damaged if they have items attached to them or are climbed on. Queen City Storks is not liable for any injuries involving the sign while it is being rented. The renter of the sign is responsible for any damages that may occur while at the property (whether it is yours, a family member, or friends). Thank you for your understanding!
