Lifetime Table Packaging Structure

Lifetime folding tables come with various packaging options, depending on the quantity you plan to purchase. Whether you're ordering a few tables or in bulk, here are key factors to consider for the best pricing and packaging options. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to get the best value when purchasing Lifetime tables in any quantity.

Purchasing Small Quantities of Lifetime Folding Tables

When purchasing 1 to 3 tables, you may encounter high per-product prices or steep shipping rates. For example, Lifetime’s 8-foot rectangular table often requires shipping via LTL freight (e.g., not FedEx or UPS), which is based on size rather than weight, leading to shipping costs starting at $130 or more for a single table. This can result in retail prices ranging from $150 to $250 per table to cover shipping costs.

Fortunately, Lifetime offers fold-in-half versions of many tables. These fold-in-half models, such as the 8-foot 80175, provide the same 2,000 lbs weight capacity as the solid-top 22980 model. Because these tables ship in a smaller box, they qualify for small parcel shipping, reducing shipping costs by 50-75%. For cost savings on small orders, consider fold-in-half tables, available in 4-foot, 5-foot, 6-foot, and 8-foot rectangular models, as well as 46-inch and 60-inch round tables.

Product Examples

• Lifetime Table 2980 22980 White Granite 8 Ft Top with Folding Frame - 1 Pack
  Durable, white granite, plastic 8-foot folding table available with volume discounts.
• Lifetime Products 80175 8 ft Almond Fold in Half Folding Table - 1 Pack
  Compact fold-in-half table ideal for indoor and outdoor use.

Purchasing High Volumes of Lifetime Folding Tables

For large orders, Lifetime offers tables in single packs, 4-packs, and pallet packages. Choosing the largest package(s) helps maximize savings. For instance, ordering 16 of the 60-inch round tables as a combination of one 12-pack and one 4-pack will be significantly cheaper than purchasing 16 single packs or four 4-packs.

High-volume discounts are possible for two main reasons: lower per-table pricing in bulk packs and reduced shipping costs for larger quantities. For example, while a single 8-foot table may cost $130 to ship, two tables may only cost around $150 to ship together, with minimal increases for each additional table. Bulk orders can thus provide substantial savings on both product and shipping costs.

  12-pack of 60-inch round tables with free shipping and durable polyethylene top.

Summary

For the best pricing, consider fold-in-half models for small orders and choose the largest packaging options available for high-volume orders. This approach maximizes both per-table savings and shipping discounts.
