First off, party is the wrong word to describe a number of laptops. It is only used in this way to describe a group of people. You could use a word like shipment or order here.

So funny and so sorry.
Let me tell you something, couple of months ago, I went to Fry's Electronics to buy a spool of filament for 3DPriner.
But I was asking them: 'Sorry where is your stools?" Filament stools. I remember you had a lot of stools in different colors."

I hope they thought you were looking for furniture rather than dung.

First of all, I hope your laptops are going to arrive at your warehouse.
I don't know what a party of laptops is. It seems like you are receiving a shipment of laptops from China (Use a capital letter on names of countries, proper nouns).
Of your three sentences, the only one that works well is the first, but I would say "shipment" rather than "party."

I have a party COMING from China (Gerund) is the only possible correct usage. There is no difference in meaning.
One puzzling usage is "I have bRought a party of 100 laptops from China and it is on its way " Althogh 'party' is singular it feels plural, so we need to say "100 laptops from China and they are on their way."

AnonymousI have a party COMING from China (Gerund) is the only possible correct usage.The word "party" does not make sense there. Shipment or delivery would be more suitable words.
