Which Shipping Option Makes Sense for FABTECH?

Advance shipping can provide more flexibility for exhibit materials that are ready early, while direct-to-show may be better suited to equipment or freight that needs to arrive closer to installation.

Start with your booth requirements and official move-in schedule, then work backward to determine pickup and transit timing.
