# Advance Warehouse

> An end-to-end solution for large shipments.

<Note>
  This option is best for large shipments (crates or pallets) that can't be hand-carried onto the show floor. For small boxes and packages, see [FedEx Office](/inbound-shipping/fedex-office). To hand-carry items, see [Self Load-In](/inbound-shipping/self-load-in).
</Note>

Shipping to the Advance Warehouse includes full end-to-end handling of your items by Demers. They will:

* Receive your items in advance and deliver them directly to your booth prior to setup
* Store empty boxes/crates during show hours
* Return empty boxes/crates to your booth during load-out
* Facilitate outbound shipping

## Receiving Window

Items must be **received between May 12 and May 29**. Items received after May 29 are subject to a late fee of at least \$100, with an absolute deadline of Monday, June 8.

Advance Warehouse receiving hours are **Monday–Friday, 8:30am–3:30pm**, excluding holidays. Ensure your carrier only attempts delivery during these hours.

## Material Handling Charges

\$105 per 100 lb. increment, with a minimum charge of \$210.
