Petroleum Surcharge Program (PSP)

Increased petroleum costs have impacted every facet of our business, from the cost of carpeting, plastics, visqueens, graphic substrates, propane & diesel fuel.

While the cost of gasoline has fluctuated greatly in recent months, the costs for other petroleum based products still are at record levels. GES has enacted a petroleum surcharge to partially recover the increased costs related to petroleum.

The Petroleum Surcharge (PSP) will result in a 3% increase on all services published in the exhibitor services manual with the exception of GES Logistics, which already has a fuel surcharge built into the rates. These charges will be shown as a separate line item on your GES invoice. See below for how this is reflected on the Expresso ordering site.

When you select your item to add to the cart, you will notice the price will adjust to reflect the 3% PSP increase:



When you go to your cart to check out, the PSP is indicated in your total calculations:
