Optimize your shipping logistics

We are all concerned with the rising costs of shipping so here are a few tips to help keep them at bay.

Are you planning ahead to move your trade show displays or are all your shipments last minute rush shipments? Rush shipments usually means the fastest mode of transportation is required. Faster means of transportation equals rising costs. While everyone understands the trade-off of the higher rates of air travel against the financial gains derived from providing the service, on time; still many of you have expressed an interest in keeping costs down.

By planning ahead, labeling your displays and skidding, you give your logistics company ample lead time. Often they are looking out for your best interests and will determine the most efficient and cost effective way to ship your freight, taking into account all the indicated parameters.
