Set up Your Shuffleboard Table

We offer the service of contracting out the delivery and setting up your shuffleboard table. Why does this service cost more than many e-commerce websites that advertise less expensive white-glove services? Often, they use the same per-unit calculations for other furniture or items they sell. They could also have a profit margin built into the retail markup and absorb some of that cost. Because McClure Tables is a manufacturer, not a retailer, we sell wholesale to the public. Two factors contribute to the higher cost of ordering the setup and installation service. One reason is that we sell direct, and often the company we contract out to install the shuffleboard table is a retailer that sells other brands of shuffleboard tables. We do not sell to retail dealers, and our prices with discounted shipping are often lower than a local retailer charges for a Brunswick, Olhausen, or Championship shuffleboard table. He is losing the retail sale and markup to us and wants to charge a premium price to compensate for the loss of the retail markup or lost sale. Sometimes, it is because we use contractors who don't have retail stores but may have to travel long distances. We stay busy with production and sales management. The time to make phone calls and search for an installation company is a service we must charge a fee to provide. One solution, however, is to do the legwork yourself. You can go to Google Maps here and search in your area for a billiard service company, home delivery services, or moving and storage companies. Find someone who can

Setting up your shuffleboard table 

It is not technical and not that difficult. Don't let the local internet retailer fool you with his sales pitch that his team is an expert at setting up game tables. Their delivery people are highly skilled with pool tables but not shuffleboards. Shuffleboard Tables are a very specialized game, and they are not so critical in terms of level; they are not supposed to be set up perfectly level. The cabinet is supposed to be high on both ends with a sway in the Shuffleboard table, so pucks are going slightly uphill on each end of the game board. See our post here on how to set up your shuffleboard table for some tips and advice. If you look at the videos at the bottom of that page, you will not likely find setting up a shuffleboard table to be that difficult. Primarily, you need the human resources to do the heavy lifting. You can find someone yourself to set up your shuffleboard table
