Commerical furniture delivery - How do you send coffee tables by freight?
Q. I am in the process of setting up a small furniture making business and I need to know how do you go about sending coffee tables etc that are not flat- packed. I would imagine that you would bubble-wrap the items and then get a freight company like Fedex to pick them up. Is it that easy? Should I consider putting these type of items in crates. The coffee tables I have made would be sent out lndividually to customers. They are not overly expensive and really not that large. But would Fedex etc accept this type of furniture without being crated. If it is OK to send just by bubble-wrapping, what is the best way to do this to ensure the items does not get damaged? I would also be sending out the coffee tables etc to international customers. [cont.]

A. Me and my wife had some furniture delivered from the pottery barn a few months ago. We had two nitestands, a big dresser and a head board and they basically put the two nitestands and dresser in big boxes reinforced with plywood strips and lots of stryrofoam, all kinds of it too. And all of our furniture was delivered flawless. not so much as a smuge. I can sort of see why the delivery charge was kind of steep.

Where can I buy small coffee tables in bulk in order to decorate and resell them online?
Q. I want to basically find small coffee tables and buy in bulk. It would be expensive to go buy them at a furniture store. I just want the cut and shaved wood and I can stain and decorate them after putting them together.

How can I write an SQL statement to get distinct data from 3 different tables at once?
Q. I have 3 tables. Each contains data about shipments. Several fields are the same, but each has some that are different. I need to be able to pull the distinct SO# (sales order numbers) and WO# (work order numbers) from all 3 tables based on a customer name. I've tried joining the tables and selecting out this data, but I apparently don't know how to do it correctly, because I keep getting errors. Please help.
