From Albany it is 23 miles to Sauk Centre — close enough that we know the roads and the venues. Folding chairs and banquet tables loaded on a trailer, quoted for the whole weekend. Tents and bounce houses too. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Sauk Centre is 23 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. A 30-minute tow each way is the trade for free delivery. Most people with a truck decide it is worth it.
With about 4,616 residents, Sauk Centre is big enough to have real venues and a steady run of events, but small enough that your party is not a rounding error to whoever takes the booking. Sauk Centre has enough going on that most weekends somebody is setting up folding chairs somewhere. We would rather it was ours than six borrowed sets.
We cover Sauk Centre as part of a run through Stearns County that also takes in West Union, Melrose and Meire Grove, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. There is no per-chair rate to do arithmetic on, and no weekend multiplier waiting at the end. Nothing about this is complicated, and we work to keep it that way.
One trailer, one flat price, and a family that reads every request itself. Here is the whole list — there is no hidden catalogue behind it.
| What you get | What you pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The loaded trailer | Quoted for the weekend | Chairs and tables on board |
| However many you use | Same quote | We do not split the load or count them back |
| Keep it Friday to Sunday | Same quote | No per-day multiplier |
| Need more than it holds | Just ask | We can add to it |
| Booking deposit | $200 | Reserves the date, comes off the total |
Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. We rent the trailer, not the chair — one flat price whether you pull a dozen off the rack or empty it.
Pick the loaded trailer up in Albany with a truck or SUV rated to tow, using a 2-5/16 inch ball. Tow it to Sauk Centre, pull the chairs off, host, hang them back, bring it home. This is the cheapest way and it is what most people do.
Tell us the date, headcount and address and we deliver to Sauk Centre on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Flat-rate delivery for Sauk Centre.
One quote for the weekend covers the loaded trailer — folding chairs and banquet tables — as one bundle, however many you actually use. A $200 booking deposit reserves the date and comes off the total. Delivery to Sauk Centre is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
About 23 miles from Albany, roughly a 30-minute drive. It is an easy haul if you are towing it yourself.
A 2-5/16 inch ball and a vehicle rated to tow an enclosed trailer — most half-ton pickups and full-size SUVs handle it without any trouble. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is up to it, tell us what you drive in the booking form.
Yes. Flat-rate delivery applies to Sauk Centre, which is 23 miles from Albany.
Usually yes. Midweek is quieter for us than Saturdays, so extending into a Monday or picking up on a Thursday is often easier than people expect. Ask in the booking form.
It is a normal enclosed trailer. If you have pulled a boat or a skid loader trailer you will be fine. If you have not, most people would rather we deliver, and that is a fair call.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and it is the billing model rather than a discount: companies that price per chair per day multiply by the count and again by the days. We quote the trailer once, for the weekend. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
