NOTE: Prior to your departure, you must confirm that all proper paperwork for your return shipment has been completed and
turned in at the GES Servicenter. A GES Material Handling Form (MHF) can be obtained on site.
If you have shipped inbound through the GES California warehouse, you do NOT need to make any direct arrangements for
ocean transport back to the GES warehouse in California. You simply indicate on your Material Handling Form (MHF) that you
are ocean shipping back through GES and include the FINAL destination of your shipment on the Mainland. Final disposition
of your shipment will be made from the GES warehouse in Cypress, California. If you are using a carrier other than GES
Logistics for the return from the GES California warehouse, you must indicate the carrier name that will be picking up. (see
pick up schedule below)
- Disposition from the GES Cypress, California warehouse:
- If you have selected GES Logistics as your carrier, you need to make no further arrangements for disposition of your freight
from the Cypress, California warehouse to the final destination on the mainland. Once the ocean containers are unloaded,
GES Logistics will automatically load and dispatch your freight to its final destination.
- If you have selected a different carrier, you must designate that carrier on your Outbound Material Handling form. They
must be instructed to pick up the shipment from the Cypress warehouse from August 13, 2014 - August 20, 2014, between
the hours of 8:00 AM - 3:30 PM. After this date, GES will automatically ship your materials to their final destination via an
available carrier. GES will not be liable for any additional costs incurred if your designated carrier fails to pick up by 3:30
PM on August 20, 2014.
- Avoid Unnecessary Costs:
- Don't miss deadlines. Ship directly to the GES Cypress, California warehouse by Monday, July 7, 2014.
- Complete all necessary paperwork at show site. GES representatives are available to assist you. Don't leave without
knowing the proper disposition of your freight. Re-routing as a result of incorrect or no paperwork is an unnecessary and
costly expense.
- Your Responsibility: If you have opted to ship directly to Hawaii, either the warehouse or directly to show site, do NOT
leave until you have confirmed your carrier's pick up schedule.
- If you are using a carrier on the mainland other than GES Logistics, follow up to make sure they are scheduled to pick
up your shipment by the above deadline date.
