A major danger of trade show shipping is not knowing show details given in the exhibitor kit. Exhibitor kits provide you with important show-related information like rules & regulations and deadlines. Exhibitor kits are also known to be a daunting read. Sometimes they’re anywhere from 30 to 100 pages long. Not knowing what’s in those 30 to 100 pages can be detrimental to your booth and budget. When you hire a trade show shipping specialist like Transit Air Cargo, you avoid the risk of not upholding the rules and regulations and avoid the risk of not meeting deadlines listed in the exhibitor kit, because our trade show shipping experts know those kits and what is required of exhibitors.
