Quick answers to what comes up most before you send an enquiry.
What photos or specs should I ask a supplier for?
A current condition photo taken in neutral light, the exact dimensions, and the footprint of one delivered unit including any stacking allowance.
Does the venue change which patio umbrellas and parasols will work?
Yes — door width, lift dimensions and floor protection rules can rule out an otherwise suitable piece before it ever reaches the room.
What if the supplier proposes a substitute close to launch date?
Agree acceptable alternatives in writing when the order is placed, so a late substitution matches what was actually approved.
