Boston: Shipping Items To or From Tradeshows

July 30, 2011 by admin

We’re right in the midst of the summer tradeshow season. More conventions are scheduled for the fall.  If you’re exhibiting at a trade show, convention, industry meeting, home show, or consumer show, you need a safe, reliable way to make sure your exhibits are delivered safely and accurately – and on time.  Many shows penalize exhibitors who are late getting set up; in a worst case scenario, you may not be able to exhibit at all.  Talk about a tremendous waste of company time and resources!

What do you need to do to make sure your tradeshow shipping goes seamlessly? Follow these tips:

Give yourself plenty of time.  Talk with your Boston shipping company ahead of time about the logistics involved.  How long will it take to move your 10X10 exhibit from here to Dallas, Texas? How long will it take if something goes wrong? No one can plan for every contingency, but it is a good idea to build enough time into your schedule for less than perfect weather, labor slowdowns, or other delays.  This is especially important if you’re exhibiting internationally.

Work with an expert shipping company.  Choose the best shipping company in Boston to handle your trade show shipping. Don’t trust your in house shipping and receiving for this job: while they may be very adept at handling your regular shipments of merchandise, the bulky displays, signage, lighting, and collateral materials that go into trades show exhibiting can be another story entirely.

Think through the entire show.  Not only do you have to get exhibit materials to the show, you need to get these items home again after the show is done.  You have a very limited window to break down your exhibit and coordinate with your shipping team to get things off the floor. The best Boston shipping companies will get you into the tradeshow on time, and out again before expensive deadlines kick in!

"I used Boston Pack & Ship to send an antique drop-leaf table that had been my mother's and four Windsor chairs that my father had made, an antique blanket chest and two large framed (with glass) photographs. I had no special instructions, but all the items had huge sentimental value - they were all special to me and were now being sent to our oldest son who had just bought his first home. So it was important that they arrive safely. Both Bill and Joe were very friendly, up front with the fees and service provided and the process went just as they described. I might not have thought any more about it, but when the furniture arrived, our son made a point of calling and saying how nice the movers had been and said that I should feel comfortable recommending them to anybody in need of their services."
