Warehouse Freight Procdeures


The advance warehouse is available for all shipments regardless of booth size. However, if your booth measures 300 Square feet or less your freight must ship to the GES Advance warehouse by 9/21/16. If your freight falls into this category and you deliver direct to show site you will be charged a 50% “off target” surcharge. Please make sure that all shipments are labeled correctly. Shipping labels are found in the Shipping, Drayage and Material Handling section or you can use the example below.


Proper labeling for advance shipments:
AUSA Annual Meeting 2016
C/O: Global Experience Specialists (GES)
Booth Number:___________
UPS Freight
6571 Washington Blvd
Elkridge, MD 21075

Advance Warehouse freight will be delivered to your booth by your targeted installation time.

Listed on this page are the procedures for Warehouse Freight shipments consigned to GES Global Experience Specialists. Any exhibitor not arriving on schedule will cause considerable inconvenience for other exhibitors and may be delayed in the unloading or loading of your carrier, as well as incurring additional charges. A 50% OFF TARGET SURCHARGE will be applied to all off-target deliveries above and beyond the material handling rate.

Please inform your haulers and drivers of these critical time schedules. Also note that uncrated and padwrapped shipments will NOT be accepted as advance freight at the GES warehouse.

It is important that you fill out the Freight Service Questionnaire by 19 August 2016. Any scheduling questions should be directed to AUSA@ges.com.
