I’m at the early stage of developing a physical product and looking into different ways to find manufacturers. Made-in-China came up during my research, but I haven’t used it before.
For anyone who has actually gone through the process, how was it finding suppliers and communicating the product requirements? I’m also curious about getting samples, checking whether the supplier can handle small initial orders, and making sure the numbers still make sense once everything is factored in.
Was Made-in-China more useful for you, or did you later ended up finding manufacturers in another way?

I’m planning to hold a backyardwedding event here in Lenoir, NC and I’m starting to look into local rental options for tables, chairs, and possibly some other event equipment.
For anyone around the Hickory area who has rented items for an event in Lenoir, NC, which company did you use and how was your experience?
I’m mainly looking for someone dependable with delivery, setup, and pickup.

We're putting together a backyard wedding instead of using a traditional venue, and I'm realizing how many rental companies are out there.
For anyone who has went through the backyard route, where is best to take your rental from? I'd love to hear which companies were worth the money and easy to work with.
