Since we rolled out volume discounts for event chairs and banquet tables, our customer base seems to be satisfied with the ability to order larger quantities and receive discounts based on their purchase volume.

So we’ve been listening to our customer’s and reviewing their feedback and one of the things that we seemed to get asked the most was “if I buy more of your Copa 10oz stemmed water glass can I get a discount?” or “if I buy 100 Serenity 12oz Crystal Wine Glasses can I get a discount?” At the time we weren’t at liberty to say yes.

But that has changed. Tuesday, we rolled out volume discount pricing for event tablecloths and now I’m pleased to announce we now have volume pricing for all of our crystal glasses and glassware.

Prices go down based on the number of glasses you choose to purchase.

If you’re interested in a quote for any of our crystal or glass glasses:

As you may or may not know, we’re moving our Mississauga Head Quarters & Warehouse to a new location with plans to be fully operational on December 19th, 2016.

We had a customer ask us a question that we didn’t answer in our email to our database and on our blog announcement. She asked “where should we send payments during the move?”

Great question! If your payment is due before December 19th, 2016, please send payment to our current (and soon to be old) address at 3280 Caroga Drive, Mississauga, ON L4V 1L4. If your payment is due on or after December 19th, 2016, please send payment to our new address at 3544 Nashua Drive, Mississauga ON L4V 1L2.

If you need to do address changes to your accounting systems or any database you use to track suppliers / vendors, please feel free to update our address anytime on or after December 19th, 2016. We also plan to have our mail forwarded for any letters where our address isn’t updated in a timely manner.

Any other questions regarding the move, please don’t hesitate to reach out via social media, through our contact form or call us at 1-800-827-8953.

A lot of our customers buy large quantities of our inventory items in order to service special events such as weddings, corporate meetings, conferences etc. Because of this, we tailored our event chairs & folding table pricing to reflect the need to buy in volume.

Two years ago, we introduced event tablecloths in polyester and spandex fabrics. The tablecloths have been one of our best new products launched and have been sold extensively throughout the country. We’ve also made product adjustments (specifically surrounding spandex tablecloths) based on customer feedback to improve the product’s functionality and make it easier for customers to use.

We’ve been asked over the past two years whether discounts could be offered for buying our event tablecloths in bulk. At the time our answer was unfortunately no. But I’m happy to announce that we’ve now built in volume pricing for all event tablecloths – spun polyester tablecloths, polyester tablecloths, spandex tablecloths, table skirting and wedding chair covers.

The greater the volume of these event tablecloths you require, the cheaper the cost per product will become.

We got asked a question that is asked a lot of us (and not a surprising question given our clientele) – can a folding table hold 800 pounds. The short answer is yes, a folding table can hold 800 pounds. The long answer is that yes, a folding table can hold 800 pounds but it depends on the size of table, the manufacturer of the table and oftentimes – the cost of the table. Unfortunately something as seemingly simple as a folding table doesn’t mean all folding tables are the same.

The reason I say it depends on the size of the table is because an 8ft rectangle table has a larger surface area and a more vulnerable middle section that is less supported than a 4ft rectangle table for example.

The manufacturer of the table matters because if a supplier is speccing down the folding table to cost less money (because their market demands it or they want to make more profit margin) this could equate to a lower quality table. Rental Companies generally don’t like to buy folding tables from a big box store like Canadian Tire or Walmart for example as the folding tables from those suppliers are often made for residential, light use – instead of commercial, heavy duty use.

The cost of the table often dictates whether a supplier has specced down the folding table or buying from a lower cost manufacturer that uses thinner steel for the legs, recycled (breakable) plastic for the top, chipboard with wood veneer instead of solid wood for the top etc. When part of your livelihood depends on whether you are renting out a good quality product (and that the product lasts for many rentals allowing you a higher return on your initial investment) it makes sense to take into account that the product you buy is a solid product that can hold a lot of weight.

Here are the folding tables that we sell that can hold 800 lbs:

• NES Reliable 6 ft Fold in Half Table – holds 1500lbs
• NES 60 inch round wood folding table – holds 2550lbs
• NES 48 inch round wood folding table – holds 1300lbs
• NES 6ft wood rectangle folding table – holds 1900lbs
• NES Reliable 60 inch round plastic folding table – holds 3100lbs
• NES Reliable 6ft Rectangle plastic folding table – holds 2500lbs
• NES 8ft wood rectangle folding table – holds 1800lbs
• NES Reliable 8ft plastic rectangle folding table – holds 1800lbs
• NES Reliable Card Table – holds 1100lbs

So I had my mind blown yesterday about plastic folding table skirting clips. I assumed that I knew how to attach plastic folding table skirting clips to a table. But you know what they say about assuming…. Turns out I was completely wrong. I would’ve never even thought about there being a right or wrong way to attach skirting clips. However, not only have I been attaching them wrong, but I’ve also been attaching them in a way that can cause them to break! No one wants to have to deal with that.

Because I had my mind blown I thought I wasn’t the only one who may be attaching plastic table skirting clips incorrectly – and thought I’d share the knowledge to stop clip breaking in its tracks. Check it out below. If you already knew this – feel free to take this post as your source of Tuesday entertainment. I feel pretty sheepish right now!

1. Take plastic table skirting clip and ensure the clip is facing with the opening towards the table edge.

2. Place the curled bottom underneath the table and move along until it clips into place

3. Slide top of the clip over the top of the table edge

I had been placing the top of the clip over the top of the table edge and then forcing the curled bottom over.

Pretty much a broken clip waiting to happen. Hope this little insight helps keep table skirting clips around longer for you!
