FedEx® Ship Sites, available conveniently in two locations on The PPAI Expo exhibit hall floor, will replace the previous Package and Valet Mail Service. This change will result in a faster, more convenient process for attendees by removing the need to set up, handle and make several trips to load a box, then move to separate long line, to a single ship location. View the pricing guide.
Below are some key points to know about the new FedEx Ship Site program:
- The PPAI Expo show bag, provided at the exhibit hall entrance, should be used to collect product samples, catalogs and more while walking the show floor.
- Drop off items at either of the two FedEx Ship Sites, located on the show floor at the back of aisles 2400 and 5700.
- Arrange for shipping and pay for the boxes and shipping at the drop-off location on-site. Click here for pricing.
- All packages must be arranged for shipment by the attendee; packages may not be left unattended, and any package left on site after the show closes will be discarded.
- PPAI members receive discounts on their FedEx shipping rates with an active, enrolled FedEx account number. Attendees must be enrolled in the discount prior to shipping and meet qualifications for the discount. For questions about this member benefit, contact Kari Banner, KariB@ppai.org, and for details on the FedEx Ship Site program contact PPAI Show Management at expositions@ppai.org
