Trade Show Shipping: Let's dig a little deeper


What Northstarians do to keep your trade show planning as easy as ever.

Following up on last week’s blog about finding the right shipper, we decided to give you an up close and personal peek into what happens here at NorthStar Express.

  • Ask your customer care representative for a quote. This will allow for budgeting and makes the following two items much easier.
  • Make sure all freight is ready at least 10 days prior to the show’s starting date. In a pinch, we do offer overnight and two day standard shipping.
  • We’ll give you a planning template for you to complete. This will help both of us keep to the schedule.
  • Finally, if you will be shipping internationally, allow several extra days for customs to look over the shipment. We also have our own customs broker available if you’re having trouble finding one on your own.
