Inbound Freight
- All inbound freight must be shipped to the MCS Advanced Warehouse with the MCS Adv. Shipping Label found under the Shipping/Material Handling tab. This includes the receiving dates as well. If your booth number has not yet been assigned, write TBD in the space.
- Direct shipments will only be accepted during official Exhibitor Move-In hours with advance notice to MCS (see the Show Schedule at the beginning of this kit).
- Shipments should arrive between Thursday, September 10, 2026 - Monday, October 12, 2026
- Shipments received outside these dates will incur a late fee.
- Freight arriving after Monday, October 12, 2026 cannot be guaranteed for on-time delivery before show opening. Additional charges may apply for expedited handling or trucking.
Outbound Freight
- MCS recommends using our Return to Warehouse (RTW) service for outbound shipping.
- Visit the MCS Service Desk during move-in/move-out to pick up pink Freight Handling/RTW stickers and fill them out with the final destination information.
- Apply stickers to all outbound freight and leave it in your booth for pickup after turning in the Material Handling Agreement (MHA) to our service desk. Our team will return it to the warehouse and ship it via MCS Choice or your designated carrier the next business day after 1:00pm.
- You are responsible for scheduling the pickup from the advance warehouse with your carrier.
- A completed MHA is required for all outbound freight. Include your preferred carrier, account number, and requested return timeframe (Next Day, 2nd Day, Ground, etc.). Please Note: If it is UPS, you must provide your own prepaid shipping labels to adhere to your freight.
- The MHA form is located under the Material Handling tab with a quick reference cheat sheet.
- All freight must have paperwork completed with a preferred carrier or MCS Choice listed. If the freight is not picked up and/or does not have paperwork, it will become forced freight MCS Choice. The exhibitor will be responsible for the charges.
