When someone tells you they have over a million hits a month it does not mean they have a million visitors a month.

Safe & Secure Shipping

Paying close attention to details in shipping is crucial to ensuring safe delivery of your important equipment.

We don't take the task of shipping your vital equipment lightly. We take every measure to ensure and pay attention to every detail to make sure that your show gear is shipped safely and securely. First we use only the best shipping companies in the industry and back them up with the worlds best shipping insurance company. Our first choice for shipping is Kuehne & Nagel and for shipping insurance it's Nacora (details below). Both companies have been working tightly as one and provide the basis for a secure and standardized shipping solution.

Next we make sure all large shipments are shipped on pallets then, if necessary, wrapped and strapped. Last for oversized or non-secure shipments we make sure trucks use load bars and/or straps to secure gear inside of the truck. This is a highly important step as shipments unsecured inside of trucks is where most shipping damage occurs.

We use Nacora shipping insurance in conjunction with it's member freight company Kuehne & Nagel. These two companies together form a highly experienced dynamic solution for domestic and international shipping.

	Palletizing Your Equipment
	Large shipments are palletized and, if necessary, wrapped and strapped. It is absolutely crucial that large shipments are put on pallets and if required wrapped and strapped to the pallet. This ensures the absolute safest shipping possible for your equipment.

	Securing Trucking
	Utilizing load bars to keep equipment secured within trucks. Whenever possible we utilize load bars in large shipments. Load bars are heavy duty steel or aluminum bars that run are secured and run from one wall of the truck to the opposite wall. They ensure that goods do not move around the truck to reduce the risk of damaged equipment. We try our best to get these utilized in your shipment.
