How to choose the trade show shipping company that's right for you


Advice Bytes
By Guest Writer: Rike Lingstaedt

Five bytes to help you find the right trade show shipper:

  • Ask for a written price quote that covers all shipping and transport requirements. NorthStar's Request-A-Quote service will give you an outline to what you can find at NSE.
  • Ask for a description of the services provided.
  • Ask for a list of references from others who had used that company as a shipper. Call them.
  • View their insurance policies. What is covered? What isn’t?
  • Follow your gut. Have the people you’ve been talking to been knowledgeable about their product? Do they understand your needs and want to help you? The answers to these questions, combined with the points above, will help you come to a final decision about which company is best for you.
