Material Handling Terms & Conditions

What is Material Handling?

Material Handling includes unloading of your exhibit material at the warehouse (see important information regarding warehouse shipments below) or at show site, delivery of these properties to your designated exhibit location, storage and return of your empty containers (includes crates and skids) and loading of your exhibit material onto your designated outbound carrier(s) after the event.

Crated and/or Skidded Shipments
Material that is skidded or is in any type of shipping container that can be unloaded at the dock with no additional handling required.

Note: FED-EX and UPS are included in this category due to their delivery procedures as well as carpet shipments.
