When does trade show freight have to leave?

Every show kit gives two dates: the last day the advance warehouse will receive, and the first day freight can go direct to the show floor. Work back from them and the plan writes itself. Put the dates in and see when to book, when the freight has to be on a truck, and what the show will want on the paperwork. How DTS arranges show freight.

From the show kit. Often the “advance receiving deadline”.

The first day the show floor takes freight.

Planning ranges. The carrier sets the actual days; we confirm them when we book.

Enter one date from the show kit and the plan appears here: when to book, when the freight has to leave, and what the show will ask for.

Transit days are the carrier’s to set and the ranges here are for planning; holidays are not in the arithmetic, and a show in the week of one needs a day more. Send us the show kit and we plan it with you, or look up your show’s shipping deadlines.
