· Where show stock is valuable, insure it for the duration of the show as well as during transit.

· If using outside contract carriers/couriers, book them four weeks in advance. Note that some do not operate on weekends or holidays.

· Plan so that your product arrives after the construction of your stand has been completed.

· Ensure that fragile equipment/product is safely packaged.

· Use reputable freight forwarders, if product is coming from interstate or overseas. Seek recommendations from the organiser.

· Every item must be clearly labelled with your stand number, company name and show name. There are often several events being held at the same time at the venue. Use the address labels provided to you in your Exhibitor Manual.

· Get a loading dock confirmation time from the organiser to avoid your carrier waiting in queues.

· During move out, pack all your goods then move them out within the published time frame. All unclaimed product will be disposed of once the organiser takes leave of the venue.
