We are based in Albany, 27 miles from Watkins, and we have been hauling chairs around this county long enough to know which weekends disappear first. 178 folding chairs and 4 tables, loaded on a trailer, $299 for the whole weekend. Tow it yourself or let us bring it.
Watkins is 27 miles from Albany, roughly a 35-minute drive, and it is a route we run often. If you have something rated to tow, 27 miles is nothing. If you do not, the flat delivery rate to Watkins is quick to quote.
Watkins has around 1,030 people, which in this part of Minnesota means a community that turns out properly when something is happening. A Watkins party is usually somebody's yard, a hall, or a shed cleaned out for the weekend. All three work fine with a trailer parked alongside.
We cover Watkins as part of a run through Meeker County that also takes in Kimball, Eden Valley and South Haven, so it is rare that we are making a trip out here for one booking. One number, agreed on the phone, unchanged when you return it. We have never seen a reason to complicate it. We would rather turn down a booking than take one we cannot do properly.
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.
| Chairs you actually use | What you pay | Cost per chair | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 chairs | $299 | $7.47 | Same trailer, same price |
| 80 chairs | $299 | $3.74 | Same trailer, same price |
| 120 chairs | $299 | $2.49 | Same trailer, same price |
| 178 chairs | $299 | $1.68 | Same trailer, same price |
One flat $299 for the weekend whether you pull 40 chairs off the rack or all 178. Most rental companies price per chair per day, so a Friday-to-Sunday event gets multiplied by three before delivery is even added. That is the whole reason we bundle 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 Watkins, 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 Watkins on your schedule, then collect it when the party is over. Flat-rate delivery for Watkins. Bounce houses are always delivered and set up by us.
$299 for the weekend gets you all 178 folding chairs and 4 tables as one bundle, whether you use forty of them or all of them. A $200 refundable deposit holds the date. Delivery to Watkins is separate and quoted by distance — flat-rate delivery applies here.
About 27 miles from Albany, roughly a 35-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 Watkins, which is 27 miles from Albany. Bounce houses are always delivered, anchored and set up by us — we never hand those off.
A chair or two out of 178 is wear and tear, not a problem. The deposit is there for real damage, and in practice we have rarely needed it.
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.
For a whole weekend, we think so, and the arithmetic is public: $299 across 178 chairs is $1.68 a chair for the entire weekend. Companies that price per chair per day multiply that by however many days you keep them. Get a quote from anyone else and compare the weekend total, not the daily rate — that is where the difference shows up.
