Groceryshop 2023 Sponsor & Exhibitor Resources
What are you shipping?
All booth materials including furniture, backdrops, structural materials, etc. should be shipped to the Freeman Advance Warehouse with the proper shipping labels. Freeman will then deliver your freight to your booth (material handling fees apply). This is the best option if you want to begin set-up as soon as you arrive for move-in and not have to wait for your freight to be delivered.
Hanging signs MUST be shipped to the Freeman Advance Warehouse with a hanging sign label.
Please note that anything shipped to the Freeman Advance Warehouse will be delivered to your booth - you won’t be able to access it outside of move-in hours.
Shipments arriving after the advance receiving deadline will incur a late surcharge. Missed the deadline? Freeman will begin accepting shipments at the show site starting on September 17, or you can ship smaller packages of collateral to the FedEx Office Print & Ship Center in the Mandalay Bay at any time. See below for shipping labels and further information on all shipping options!
What happens to my empty containers during the show?
Pick up “Empty Labels” at the Freeman Service Desk. Once the container is completely empty, place a label on each container individually. Labeled empty containers will be picked up periodically and stored in non-accessible storage during the event. Freeman will begin returning empty containers to booths in no specific order once the show floor has closed and the carpet has been rolled up. Sponsors should not expect their empty containers to be returned until Friday morning.
What is material handling?
Material Handling is the service to move and store your freight from the freight docks to your booth. This service includes off-loading from the delivery truck; delivery to your booth; removing empty crates and boxes; storing the crates and boxes during the show and returning them after the show: and finally delivery of the crates and boxes to your carrier. This service is all provided exclusively by Freeman. It is a one-time charge for incoming and outgoing. See the Material Handling page on FreemanOnline for more information, rates, and order forms.
