1 Choose the right shipping method

Depending on your budget, timeline, and destination, you may have different options for shipping your trade show materials after the event. Some common methods include freight, courier, or postal services. Each method has its pros and cons, such as cost, speed, reliability, and tracking. You should compare the rates, terms, and conditions of each method and choose the one that best suits your needs and expectations. You should also factor in any customs fees, taxes, or duties that may apply to your shipment.

Understand the objectives of the event. Bring enough brochures, business cards, test the demo systems and ensure it works. You can get help from colleagues and partners to assist in the logistics shipping tasks.

I would add that one should choose the logistics company that operates in that geographic area it will mitigate your costs. Use a company outside of there you will be paying for them to subcontract to a company that knows the area.

2 Pack and label your items properly

One of the most important steps to ensure a smooth shipping process is to pack and label your items properly. You should use sturdy boxes, crates, or containers that can protect your items from damage, theft, or loss. You should also use appropriate padding, wrapping, or sealing materials to secure your items inside the boxes. You should label each box clearly with your name, address, phone number, and any other relevant information, such as the shipping method, destination, or tracking number. You should also include a packing list that details the contents, quantity, and value of each box.

3 Coordinate with your shipping provider

Once you have packed and labeled your items, you should coordinate with your shipping provider to arrange the pickup, delivery, and tracking of your shipment. You should confirm the pickup date, time, and location with your provider and make sure that someone is available to hand over your items and sign any paperwork. You should also provide your provider with any special instructions or requests, such as insurance, signature confirmation, or delivery confirmation. You should also keep the contact details of your provider handy in case of any issues or questions.

Creating a close relationship with you shipping provider will elevate a lot of problems and will missteps. Try to befriend a senior person who works for your provider that can make high level decisions to help you when things go sideways.

4 Track and follow up on your shipment

After your shipment has been picked up, you should track and follow up on its status and progress regularly. You should use the tracking number or code provided by your shipping provider to check the location, movement, and estimated delivery date of your shipment. You should also monitor any alerts or notifications that may indicate any delays, problems, or changes in your shipment. You should contact your shipping provider or the recipient as soon as possible if you notice any discrepancies or issues with your shipment.

5 Review and evaluate your shipping experience

Finally, you should review and evaluate your shipping experience after your shipment has been delivered and received. You should check the condition and quality of your items and make sure that nothing is missing, damaged, or incorrect. You should also review the invoices, receipts, and documents related to your shipment and make sure that everything is accurate and complete. You should also provide feedback to your shipping provider and let them know if you were satisfied or dissatisfied with their service. You should also identify any areas of improvement or lessons learned for your future shipping needs.

Typically it’s best to work with three service providers because each one usually has better execution with various delivery options.
