Shipping a booth for the first time? The three things most likely to give you trouble:

Missed deadlines

Show up late and the venue charges premium rates to handle your freight, or your booth space sits empty.

Surprise handling fees

Venues charge $115–$180 per 100 lbs just to move your stuff from the loading dock to your booth.

The return shipping scramble

The show closes, your booth is packed, and nobody knows who's picking it up.

Juujbox coordinates your trade show freight, so your team spends less time chasing carriers and managing shipping paperwork.

What Does It Cost to Ship a Trade Show Booth?

A portable display may cost a few hundred dollars round trip. A large crated exhibit can run several thousand. The biggest factors: total weight, dimensions, distance, piece count, and how early the freight is scheduled.

Portable display

1–4 cases, usually under 150 lbs

$300–$900

Small or mid-size modular booth

1 pallet or 2–5 crates, 300–1,500 lbs

$1,000–$3,500

Large or island exhibit

Multiple pallets, custom crates, or oversized pieces

$3,000–$10,000+

Planning estimates for domestic ground/LTL shipping from a commercial pickup location. Rush service, long distances, oversized crates, and tight delivery windows increase cost.

Rates effective September 1, 2026. Quoted rates honored for 30 days.

Freight and drayage are separate charges

Carrier freight

Moves your exhibit from its pickup location to the show and back after the event. This is the number in the cards above.

Drayage (material handling)

Charged by the show's official contractor to unload your shipment, move it to your booth, store empty crates, and reload after the show. Billed per 100 lbs, often with a 200-lb minimum. Published 2026 show manuals list standard rates of $115–$180 per 100 lbs; late or special-handling freight costs more. Consolidated, well-labeled shipments and hitting the show’s delivery deadlines are the biggest ways to keep that fee down.

1,000 lbs × $145 per 100 lbs = $1,450 in material handling, separate from shipping.

Trade Show Booth Shipping FAQs

For most shows, freight should leave 2–3 weeks before your move-in date (the day you're allowed into the hall to set up) to reach the advance warehouse (the show's official early-receiving depot) within its window. Expedited options exist, but cost more. Planning early gives you more options. We work backward from your show's receiving dates to coordinate pickup and delivery, wherever your booth starts.

The advance warehouse (the show's official early-receiving depot) can provide more scheduling flexibility. Direct-to-show shipping can also make sense, depending on your dates and the show's rules. We compare the receiving windows and charges for your event, then coordinate the route. Freight and drayage (the contractor's material-handling fee) remain separate charges.

Yes. We coordinate pickup from your office, exhibit house, warehouse, or another U.S. location and delivery directly to your show's advance warehouse or venue. Share your location, shipment details, and show dates so we can plan the route.

We help coordinate shipping paperwork, receiving dates, and the show's general contractor (the company handling freight on the show floor). Drayage covers unloading and moving freight from the dock to your booth; it is performed and billed separately by the show's contractor. We help plan and label shipments around those requirements. Drayage is separate from carrier freight.

We coordinate shipping from any U.S. pickup location to trade shows across the United States, including Las Vegas, Chicago, Orlando, and San Diego. Your booth can travel directly to the show's advance warehouse or venue, according to its receiving rules.

We coordinate shipping for booth displays, demo equipment, monitors, flooring, literature, swag, giveaways, and furniture. Tell us the piece count, dimensions, weight, and any special handling needs. We'll help plan the shipment and arrange its return or onward delivery.
