All shipments must be accompanied by a bill of lading. Shipments received without receipts, freight bills or specified unit counts (UPS, Federal Express, personal vehicles, etc.) will be delivered to the exhibitor’s booth without guarantee of piece count or condition. No liability will be assumed by<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>CSS</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>for such shipments. Shipments without certified weight documents will be estimated by<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>CSS</b>. This estimate will be binding on both parties and no adjustments will be made after the show closes. We will accept all cartons, crates, and skidded materials at the warehouse. Do not ship uncrated materials to the warehouse. Loose materials, uncrated materials, or machinery not banded to skids will be accepted at show site only. All van line shipments must be accompanied by a “certified weight ticket”, with heavy & light weights otherwise<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>CSS</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>will estimate freight weight, which will be binding on both parties and no adjustments will be made after the show closes.

(Please refer to the Material Handling Rate Sheet.) All material handling rates are roundtrip and are based on incoming weights only. Overtime charges may apply under some circumstances, such as carrier-delayed freight delivered after designated move-in times. “Off-Target” freight is when freight arrives at the advance warehouse prior to the first scheduled day or after the last scheduled day indicated on both the show information sheet and the Material Handling Rate Sheet. If freight is delivered prior to the first scheduled day of advance freight receipt, storage charges may apply.  If freight is delivered after the last scheduled day of advance freight receipt, additional delivery charges may apply. If the freight is scheduled to be delivered direct to show site prior to the first day for direct freight.  These dates are clearly stated on both the Show Information Quick Reference Sheet and the Material Handling Rate Sheet.<br /></span></p> <p><br /><span>MATERIAL HANDLING INCLUDES: Storing your booth, equipment, and materials in our warehouse for up to 30 days in advance of the show (Advance shipments only); Delivering materials to your booth at show site; Removing empty containers from your booth, storing them for the duration of the show, then returning them to your booth at close of show; Moving packed and labeled materials from your booth to the dock area at close of show and reloading them on designated carriers based on information provided on your show site bill of lading (obtained from<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>CSS</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Service Center).<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p> <p></p> <p><span>MATERIAL HANDLING DOES NOT INCLUDE: Labor and/or equipment for uncrating, unskidding, assembling, positioning, leveling, dismantling, recrating, and reskidding machinery and/or equipment for exhibitors - Additional labor to accomplish these tasks may be ordered from the Labor Order Form; Scheduling any carrier for pick up or delivery of your materials, if other than the official show carrier(s).
