Timing Advantage

Beat the move-in crunch

Advance warehouse shipping allows your trade show freight to arrive before the show's direct-to-show move-in window. Your shipment is received at the designated warehouse, confirmed, and staged for the decorator to move to the venue when installation begins—giving you more flexibility and less exposure to tight showsite delivery windows.

Deadline Management

We track deadlines so you don't have to

Every trade show has its own advance warehouse receiving window and deadlines. We monitor those dates, plan your shipment around them, and confirm receipt when your freight arrives. If the advance deadline is missed, we'll help determine the best available showsite or expedited option.

Every show deadline tracked

FAQs

Advance Warehouse

Questions

What is the difference between advance warehouse and showsite shipping?

Advance warehouse shipping sends your freight to the show's designated warehouse before move-in, where it is received and held for later delivery to the venue. Showsite, or direct-to-show shipping, delivers freight directly to the convention center during the designated move-in window. Advance warehouse generally provides more scheduling flexibility, while showsite can make sense when freight isn't ready early enough to meet the advance deadline.

When does my freight need to arrive at the advance warehouse?

Every show sets its own receiving window and deadline, often beginning several weeks before move-in. We review the show's exhibitor manual, identify the applicable dates, and build your shipping schedule around them.

What happens if I miss the advance warehouse deadline?

Every show sets its own receiving window and deadline, often beginning several weeks before move-in. We review the show's exhibitor manual, identify the applicable dates, and build your shipping schedule around them.

Who confirms receipt at the warehouse?

The advance warehouse facility confirms receipt and issues a warehouse receipt. We track that confirmation and notify you when your freight is checked in.

Can I track my freight once it's at the advance warehouse?

Yes. Through our tracking portal, you have real-time visibility from pickup through warehouse receipt and on to the show floor.
