If you’ve ever been to a trade show, there will always be at least a few trade show booths that never arrive. There is nothing more saddening than to see an exhibitor stranded without a trade show display after spending thousands of dollars and months in the planning stages. This is every exhibitor’s worst nightmare, because it could cost your company thousands of dollars. What can you do to keep this from happening to you?
With years of experience in booth logistics and exhibit shipping, the staff at MODdisplays understand what it takes to get your booth delivered on time. We work closely with UPS, FedEx, and various trucking companies to make sure that your exhibit arrives in mint condition. Our experienced logistics teams take extra precautions to make sure that your exhibit passes smoothly through customs and is delivered on the other side in a timely manner. These precautions include notifying customs in advance that your shipment is on its way, paperless invoicing that is transmitted directly to customs, and “importer of record” status (which is a status that can only be acquired through consistent and honest cross-border shipments).

If you have any questions about the exhibit logistics services we offer, including booth storage or international shipping management, please give us a call at 877.663.3976 or email info@moddisplays.com.

The most challenging aspect of exhibiting is logistics. In order to make sure that your booth staff, exhibit material, and promotional items all arrive in the same place in an organized way can be a daunting task, and many companies lose money when they underestimate the complexity of the situation.
Imagine arriving at a show that is hosted across the country from your office location only to find out that your trade show display has not arrived yet and will not arrive on time. This happens to thousands of exhibitors every year thanks to a lack of concern from companies in the portable trade show display industry.
It is important to work with a company who understands trade show logistics, and MODdisplays is that company. We work with a logistics team to plan shipments and coordinate with dock workers to ensure that your booth is pushed to the front of the lines when union workers are unloading at your venue. Although we use the same shipping methods used by other companies (UPS, FedEx, etc), we offer additional logistics services free of charge to ensure that your booth arrives on time and in good condition.
Our online store is synchronized with UPS in order to ensure that you always get rates that are accurate up to the minute. There will never be any surprise shipping charges when you use MODdisplays for your trade show display, because the rates are published on our web store. Simply add a product to your shopping cart and enter your zip code, and the store will calculate your shipping cost for the method you choose. You will never pay a rush charge or other hidden fee at MODdisplays, because we want to get the job done as badly as you do.
At MODdisplays it’s simple. You pay a flat rate to have your trade show booth display arrive on time and in great condition.
