Follow These Guidelines to Make Your Shipment a Success
- Include advance warehouse cut-off time and dates, and show-site move-in times and dates.
- Include exact dimensions per piece.
- Include emergency contact information such as cell phone number.
- Pack and label your shipment carefully. Each piece should have one label with the destination address, show name and booth number. Indicate pieces by numbering 1 of 10, 2 of 10 etc.
- If shrink-wrapped or palletized, place a label on each piece as well as outside on the shrink-wrap.
- Remove all old labels and re-label each piece with the destination address.
- Be sure that all pieces are securely closed and in good condition.
