Plan your transport
Ask the supplier for current packing data: count, dimensions, weight, palletisation. Match their order reference with your event ID so that both sides mean the same shipment. The recipient at the venue needs an understandable description and the link to their project. If the scope of delivery changes, update supplier data and your own material overview together.
Rental equipment from the hire company
For rental equipment – such as lighting, sound, staging or furniture – the hire company usually has fixed issue and return times. Give these times together with your order number at the hire company. We then plan collection and return so that rental period and event schedule fit together.
Check before it leaves
With direct deliveries, nobody from your team sees the goods before the event. So ask the supplier for a short confirmation of completeness, possibly with a photo. Missing parts are then noticed before they are missing at the venue.
What matters
- Link the supplier reference to the event ID
- Obtain packing data from the shipping contact
- Give issue and return times at the hire company
