Straight answers
Don’t see yours? Add it to your quote request and a dispatcher will reply.
Should we ship to the advance warehouse or direct to show site?
Advance warehouse is safer when you have a firm deadline. Direct to show site works when the truck can make the delivery window. We will tell you which fits.
Can you handle last-minute requests?
Yes. Our team works 24/7, with adaptive schedule management and last-minute scheduling.
Do you handle the return after the show?
Yes. Our staff support load-out at the venue, and we ship the exhibit home or to storage.
Do you build crates and specialty packaging?
Yes. Custom crating, padded shipping and secure packaging are part of the service.
What if our booth is not ready on time?
Call dispatch. We can send an expedited truck to make the window.
Do you have people at the venue?
Yes. Our staff handle load-in and load-out, work with the venue team and fix last-minute problems.
