It's been a busy day here at the National Event Supply warehouse. We took delivery of our first container early this morning and we're just starting to empty our second container this afternoon. It's great to finally have the products that everyone is looking for.

Our first container was a mixture of Plastic Folding Tables and Plastic Folding Chairs. We've managed to replenish our supply of Burgundy on Grey Plastic Folding Chairs as well as increase our stock of Black on Black Plastic Folding Chairs to help us get through the summer. In addition, we brought in some 5-ft NES Reliable Rectangular Plastic Folding Tables, allowing us to add it to our regular price list of available items.

Our second container arrived earlier this afternoon. It was filled with 5-ft round, 6-ft rectangular, and 8-ft rectangular plastic folding tables. Unfortunately, we only brought in 120, 5-ft round tables on this container. This means that after filling our back-orders we will have 1 or 2 tables left. We are getting more 5-ft round tables in early August, so if you are interested in the tables and can wait, please drop us a line and we will put your request into our backorder file.

That's it for today. The warehouse team is resting up for one last container this month. Tomorrow we'll be adding more Plastic Folding Chairs to add to our inventory. This last container will be the ninth container of products that we have received this month. We should have another two or three containers in the coming weeks filled with resin Chiavari chairs, porcelain, and cutlery.

When you talk to our sales reps they can tell you how many people can sit around a 60-inch round table (8-10), the size of our square dinner plates (10.25"), and how much weight our plastic folding chairs can hold (225lbs). What they can't fully describe to you is how great the wedding style resin folding chairs look when set up for an event, or how elegant our resin Chiavari chairs look set-up around a well-dressed table. To see our products in action, we've turned to several of our customers and asked for pictures they've taken at recent events. Over the next few months, we'll be spotlighting some of these companies and our products at their events.

This week we've got a couple of pictures from a 10,000sq ft tent installation from Dion Malden at Big Red Chair Events in Vancouver, BC. As you can see from the first picture, the tent was rather large. In the second picture, you can see our White NES Resin Chiavari Chairs set up in front of a stage. The Silver Chiavari Chairs are topped by our White Fabric Chiavari Chair Cushions. In the back, you can see our NES Reliable Wedding-Style Resin Folding Chairs.

Another day, another container. This time filled with about 2600 white NES Reliable Bistro Chairs. Again we have back-orders which we will be looking to fill, and we've been making phone calls to customers who are eagerly awaiting their new chairs. If you haven't heard from one of our sales reps and you have some chairs on back-order, give us a call. One of our sales reps would be more than happy to help you

This container is far and away the easiest container to unload. Our factory wraps four stacks of chairs together and then loads them onto the container using pallet jacks. That means that we can use our pallet jacks to take them off the container, which we did in about 90 minutes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the now-empty container picked up until much later in the day which made shipping difficult.

Unable to get a lot of orders out the door, our shipping and receiving team spent most of the day restacking the chairs so that they could fit into 8 foot trailers and checking for any defective chairs. We rarely see any bad chairs, but it's good to grab them before we ship them across the country.

We aren't anticipating any of our other containers to arrive this week, but we should be getting 2 or 3 containers next week, including a small container of porcelain. Porcelain is one of the few items where we don't fill the container to the roof with product. We tend to max out on weight when the porcelain is 3 to 4 feet high. Lots of small, heavy boxes, filled with fifty or sixty different products which are all intermixed makes for a long day for the shipping team.

Each container that arrives in our warehouse fills holes that have developed in our inventory. If you called earlier this year and were told that a product was out of stock, feel free to send us an email or to give us a call to find out when things will be back in stock. We'd be happy to get you a quote or answer any questions that you may have.
