Shipping / Freight
The AME has two primary shipping methods:
1 - Third Party Carriers such as FedEx, XPO, Daton, UPS, ABF, etc.
2 - Privately or Company Owned or Rented vehicles/trucks operated by the exhibiting company. For Example, company trucks/vans, U-Haul, Budget, Ryder, etc.
From here it is very simple. If you are sipping vis a Third party you MUST fill out the freight handling form (see below), submit them to Art Craft and pay the handling fees prior to your booth setup. Items shipped to the venue without Fright Handling Forms and/or unpaid fees will be held until forms and/or fees are paid. Whether it is a small box or a semi load, if you are shipping via a third party you must follow these guidelines.
The Forklift Services are free by AME If you bring your own demos in a Company-Owned, Private, or Rental Vehicle and they arrive at the scheduled times; otherwise, you will need to pay Art Craft. Demos need to weigh less than 4K.
Storage Fees NEW to AME 2025:
Storage fees are being implemented by the venue. Sending shipment well in advance or extended stays post show will result in a charge. Please see the freight handling form in the Art Craft Exhibitor Kit.
If you are shipping anything (UPS, FedEx, DHL, freight company, or shipping of any kind, you need to fill out the Shipping Freight From below.
Third party fright companies MUST provide a Bill of Lading with weights, sizes, counts, and descriptions, no matter what time they arrive. These shipments are considered freight. If you don’t have a Bill of Lading, Art Craft will create a bill of lading and charge you the round-trip freight handling per shipment. Below is the Art Craft Exhibitor kit with the shipping information starting on page 15. You must fill out the appropriate Freight Handling forms.
