GES Bill of Lading (BOL) forms must be turned in at least one hour before move out ends on Tuesday, January 24, 2017.

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 Bill of Lading (BOL) Form 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 GES Bill of Lading (BOL) 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)

7. 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 GES Bill of Lading (BOL) form. Your selected carrier must be instructed to contact the GES California Warehouse at 562.370.1500 to verify your freight is available for pick up between the hours of 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM between the dates of February 14, 2017 - February 20, 2017. 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 February 20, 2017.


8. Avoid Unnecessary Costs:
• Don't miss deadlines. Ship directly to the GES Cypress, California warehouse by Tuesday, January 3, 2017.
• 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.
