Shipping Information
You have two options when shipping your materials to the event. You can ship in advance to the Freeman Warehouse and they will bring your materials to the event and deliver them to your booth. You can also ship your materials directly to the venue and Freeman will receive your shipment and deliver your materials to your booth. Please note the dates and costs associated with both options. For pricing for both options you can contact Freeman directly. Below, you will find an overview, along with shipping label examples as well as additional shipping information.

Important Installation Information

- Set-up and dismantle labor must be performed by your own full-time employees or by union labor.
- Union labor must be hired through Freeman. The hiring of casual labor is not permitted.
- Exhibitors may hire an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) to supervise the installation and dismantling of their exhibit.

Material Handling / Privately Owned Vehicles / Drayage
|
Exhibitors may hand-carry their own materials into the exhibit facility through the front doors only. Exhibitors WILL NOT be permitted to unload on the docks or front driveway. The front driveway is for passenger pickup/drop off only and is monitored by SDCC security staff. Exhibitors will need to park in the garage below the convention center.
One person must be able to carry it in one trip. The use of dollies, flat trucks and other mechanical equipment is not permitted. If you will require labor for delivering your materials to your booth from the dock, you may hire union labor through Freeman. Rates for this service are outlined in the Freeman Online website which can be accessed from the Order Services section
We encourage exhibitors to have their material delivered to the warehouse in advance to take advantage of the most cost-effective material handling rates and to avoid additional handling fees incurred when shipping direct to the facility.
