Not sure which door fits your freight?
Tell us the origin, the pieces and the date it can leave. We will tell you whether the advance warehouse or direct to show makes more sense for SHOT Show, and quote it.
Move-out
Move-out: Jan 22 – 25, 2027
Outbound freight needs two things before the booth is packed: a completed material handling agreement turned in to the show contractor, and your carrier’s bill of lading and labels on the freight. Freight on the floor without both when the hall clears is forced onto the contractor’s carrier at their rate. Book the outbound carrier before the show opens, not on the last day.
