The trade shows are big business, and important parts of great marketing efforts of the company. Costly displays, merchandise, marketing collateral, all these items are needed for effective trade show booth. And these items are often sent via commercial carriers to reach the place of professional fair ready for disposal. When you put your trust in a shipping company to transport their precious cargo to a trade show, which is responsible if something happens? How much you compensated if lost or destroyed something? The answers may surprise you. Unfortunately, you can discover the hard way that the shipping and confident you have chosen has little or no responsibility when it comes to the safe delivery of its property to the trade show. You, like others, may wonder why these big conglomerates aren 'dispatch; t responsible or bothered if they lose a shipment. Financially, they have little incentive to solve their dilemma missing shipment. When a shipment is lost or missing is because they are only responsible for five cents a pound. Yep, you read that right, five cents per pound. There is no logical reason behind them being responsible for such a small price. Other than material, what else if anything is measured in pounds? If you think about it, smaller items tend to have a much higher value than large heavy items. Think jewelry, "5 cents per pound can possibly compensate if your trade display jewelry turns up the lack? Yet if anything is lost you will not receive nearly nothing. It 's not only insulting, it can be financially devastating. You may wonder who are these companies can get away with this. Are they perhaps unknown companies, small companies without a reputation overseas? You would be wrong. These are well-known companies such as Fedex, UPS, and other renowned companies of the burden. These are legally protected minimum responsibilities cargo lost. These companies charge give you the opportunity to purchase additional insurance carriers ahead of time. While they are self insured, do you pay a small fortune just in case something you do not have any?? No control over happen. Nice of them isn 't it? Not only will you charge for the extra insurance but charge you extra if the size of the load that you are sending is on "standard shipping size." Just to give you an example, the UPS will charge a minimum prize of $ 100 when any dimension, meaning length, width or height exceeds one hundred twenty inches. There is much other "extra" charges so it's a good idea to do your homework on the shipping before you deliver them their property. When your property is in "custody, care and control", how to get around being responsible for it? If we knew, we could perhaps fix it. But until that happens this confident in a shipping charge is a bit like gambling, since it is anyone 's guess of whether or not you will see it again. At present time perhaps the only thing we can do is when we need to send anything of value, especially forward and backward trade shows, is to add the shipping to your company 's insurance policy with a rider cheap. It is a quick and easy, and compared the potential cost of losing much more, it 's relatively cheap. This will prevent you having to put up a fight you just won 't win
