Kite Kits In Bulk Quantities

Q:

This is Lauren Potts from POP! Toy and Party Services. We are an event planning company that plans a lot of corporate events throughout the year, including summer picnic and holiday parties. We do a lot of activities and crafts with the children at these events and thought that kite making would be a hit at a summer picnic for the children.

We were interested in large quantities and would like to be quoted on different amounts. We would like a quote for 200 kits, 500 kits, 1000 kits.

A:

Firstly, I'm based in Adelaide, South Australia. Plus we don't ship any hard goods at all, let alone kite kits :-)

However, there are a couple of companies in Canada that could possibly help you out with kite kits in bulk. Their idea of 'bulk' is more like 20 kites, but I think they would love a much bigger order! Their kites appear to be very sound, and are plain to allow the kids to do their own decoration. Both companies claim "Absolutely no additional materials are needed for assembly."

Over here in South Australia, there's a local company that does very large quantities and offers bulk discounts of between 5 and 8% for quantities from 200 to 500. I guess you could ask for similar, from these Canadian companies...
