Plan your transport
Link priorities to specific units, not to collective terms such as “tech” or “stand build”. A control unit may belong to a later rehearsal while its frame is needed earlier. Check whether such parts are actually packed separately. A request for early availability can only be met if the physical make-up of the shipment fits it.
Keep priority levels simple
Three levels are usually enough: A for “immediately at build-up”, B for “during the build”, C for “at the end or only for the event”. Mark the level visibly on the package and in the list. Too many levels confuse more than they help during unloading.
When everything is a priority
If nearly all units are marked urgent, the labelling loses its effect. Agree with your build crew what is really needed first. Often it is only a few crates – tools, floor panels, base structure – whose early availability speeds up the whole build.
What matters
- Link the priority to the package ID
- State the reason for early availability
- Check parts packed together
