Some Ways to Save $$

Items to consider before getting a labor estimate:

Deciding how to ship

Direct to Show or to the Advanced Warehouse? – If timing permits, it is almost always best to ship to the advanced warehouse. That way your freight is more likely to be at your booth space by your move-in time. You’ll need to allow extra time when shipping direct to account for delays.  Delays can be caused by the truck driver having to check into the marshaling yard, waiting to be called to unload, and getting paperwork. To be safe, you’ll want to delay your labor start time by about 4 hours to give your freight time to make it to your booth before set up begins. You don’t want to end up paying your install crew to stand around waiting for something to do for hours! When renting from P.O.P. Exhibits Inc., we’ll always ship to the advance warehouse whenever possible.

Scheduling Dismantle – Always take into account the entire schedule to avoid delays when scheduling dismantle with your labor & shipping companies. Oftentimes it’s safest to schedule labor for the morning after and shipper to come later in the afternoon. This is because returning the empty freight can take a while, especially for large shows.  If your show requires the floor to be cleared by 12pm the next day you might consider scheduling labor for a couple hours after the show breaks.  

Keep in mind that if you’re renting your exhibit through P.O.P. Exhibits Inc. we’ll handle I & D for you at a guaranteed price. That means that no matter the hiccups encountered on the show floor, your price is fixed.
