Having a solid crate that is properly packaged is one of the most important things you can do to protect your stuff during transit.
What is Forced Freight? If it has ever happened to you, then you know it is something to be avoided.
What does shipping direct to show mean? Simply that you will not be utilizing the advance warehouse and will coordinate shipping your material directly to the show site the day booth installations begin.
In this article, we will discuss more about what an advance warehouse is, benefits and drawbacks of using the advance warehouse, and certain situations when it might be useful.
"I personally have been handling trade show shipments for over 15 years and have dealt with a lot of carriers. It is definitely not easy to find a reliable carrier but once we teamed up with Ark Transportation, I was finally able to have peace of mind that our shipments are finally being handled by good hands and our extremely time-sensitive shipments will be handled safely and delivered on-time. Ark has proven to be the most reliable carrier we've had for over 8 years now. They go above and beyond with special petty requests and follow ups as well. We are glad to call Ark Transportation “our carrier”."
