The web-page says that it usually ships in one business day and if you click on the "When will I receive my order?" link it shows that the entire DC metro area (and beyond) are in the 1 day delivery area. If you order today, you should still get them by Saturday.

OP again...Thanks, I saw that too and their stuff was exactly what I wanted, but they were going to charge more for shipping ground than for the entire order of items. There are several online stores but they all had astronomical shipping fees and I am not paying $20+ in shipping for $15 worth of disposable party items. This was not even priority shipping, just basic ground...priority was more like $40. Hence my post...I was trying to find a bricks-and-mortar store to avoid the huge shipping fees.

The Party Store sells them, I think they are food safe (plastic).

Have you tried any Eden Plaza in seven corners?

OP again - to clarify, were I not a chicken and still in need of containers, I would have asked the restaurant owner if they would SELL me the goods, not give them to me. Also, I was not able to identify a restaurant supplier open to the general public but there must be some around.

OP here. I found a huge bag of disposable chopsticks for $3 at an Asian grocery. No luck with the containers (I am too chicken to ask a restaurant owner since we are not regulars at any particular Asian place) but as we were experimenting with entrees the other night, DH decided it would probably be easier to eat what we are serving off a plate, not out of a container. I was happy to agree!

It does appear that restaurant supply places are the way to go with those, along with the restaurants themselves! Thanks everyone who responded!

Aren't there any restaurant supply stores around here?
