Anything you need...

Anything you need, in large or small quantities can be delivered through Island Tents & Events. Our answer is always going to be YES and then we will use our equipment and/or resources to make it happen on time and on budget.

Island Tents & Events handles several tons of exhibitor's cargo each year.  You can have your exhibits goods shipped directly to us for safe and convenient pre show storage and we will deliver it right to your booth for move in.

We will take responsibility for:
• Return of empty crates and containers at the close of the show,
• Loading of outbound crates and containers at the close of the show on a carrier chosen by the exhibitor.

Because of the handling labor and equipment required to provide these services, all exhibitors are charged a fee per 100 pounds of freight received through the dock(s) - commonly referred to as drayage.
In order to use the advance warehouse you must have shipments arrive by a pre-determined date. Check out the Materials Handling page in your exhibitor service kit for more information on what types of shipments are accepted and specific cut-off dates.

Its an easy and simplified process designed to remove your worries about freight.  Once it arrives to our warehouse as part of the pre show package we will inform you of its arrival and if there were any challenges or damage in shipping.  We will track it to the show floor and into your designated booth area and remove the empty crates and cartons until you need them for exhibitor move out.
