Things to consider before shipping exhibits and materials to trade shows by courier
Before booking delivery for trade booths and shipping displays to events and exhibitions in Europe or overseas, there are a few things to keep in mind to minimise the risk of damage during transport and to avoid any other issues These include:
Before shipping displays to and from exhibitions, proper dismantling and packaging are crucial – a damaged display is unlikely to attract new customers and you don’t want to lose your display products before you get there. Pallet delivery to international trade fairs and events is the ideal solution for delivering trade booths to events around Europe and overseas. For guidelines see our dedicated page. For packing instructions for a range of different smaller items, see our pack and ship pages.
Always check that your expo displays and products aren’t considered prohibited or restricted by couriers to avoid failed deliveries when shipping to trade shows and exhibitions in Europe and overseas.
When shipping to exhibitions overseas, you should check the local customs regulations carefully, to ensure your products or displays are not prohibited from entering the country.
All standard shipments booked through Eurosender are covered by basic insurance included in the price, and additional insurance is available to purchase at discounted rates. Furthermore, when booking with Eurosender, you can easily track your trade show display shipments every step of the way.
Common issues when shipping displays to exhibitions and how to avoid them
Exhibitors are given a specific time-frame for deliveries to take place before the event, but if your exhibition stand arrives too late, you may lose your opportunity to showcase your products at the event. Make sure you book your delivery ahead of time and select the earliest possible pick-up date during the booking process.
Most convention centres have multiple loading docks, to cater to the many exhibitors shipping displays and products ahead of the trade show, all at the one time. Be sure to provide your allocated dock number before shipping exhibits and materials to trade shows by courier.
You should always provide the full contact information of an onsite trade show contact, who will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of trade booths to events overseas. Be sure to provide a local telephone number in case the courier decides to call.
Providing an accurate and complete address, including the name of the building or complex, full name of the trade show, event hall and trade show booth number, is essential to ensuring successful delivery. See our example below.
Most trade shows may also provide you with forwarding labels which tell receivers where your products and stands should be delivered too inside the event. Be sure to label all boxes, pallets and displays carefully.
