A large number of exhibitors are scheduled within each time frame. While your shipment is due at the marshalling yard at your target move-in time, it may take some time before your shipper is called to deliver to the facility. The shipments will only be called to the facility when a dock is available to unload freight. The target move-in schedule is designed to minimize your carrier's time in the marshalling yard and to maximize the efficiency of moving in freight. The freight is targeted based on the booth location.
Freight is moved in based on keeping a clear path from the docks.
Although it is necessary to schedule your freight according to the Target move-in schedule, you do not have to physically be in your booth at the time of delivery. There are different rates for advance shipments, shipments direct to the hall, crated freight, uncrated freight, blanket wrapped freight, etc. See the Freight Handling order form in Section 9. If you have questions, call GES for clarification. Above all, be sure you have a weight certificate.
