Requesting event transport with provisional quantities

Plan your transport

Separate confirmed packages from expected additions. For open items, a clear description and the date by which you expect clarity are more helpful than seemingly exact dimensions. Agree internally who will update the figures once the final material selection is made. This lets us agree a framework early and bring the quotation up to the final status as soon as the data is available.

Ranges instead of a blanket margin

Rather than adding a flat “plus 30 per cent”, describe a traceable range: for example “twelve to sixteen wall bundles, depending on the final stand layout”. That makes it possible to judge which vehicle and schedule are suitable without planning for a quantity that may never travel.

When the data should be final

The closer the date, the more important binding figures become. State in your request the day your material list will be fixed. We can then plan in two steps: first framework and availability, then the specific arrangement with the confirmed packages.

What matters

Separate confirmed and estimated quantities
State the date for final figures
Report new units individually with their data

Good to know

Plan your transport

Should I just add a large margin for open quantities?

Better not. Explain what is already known and what the open quantity depends on; a visible range supports the first conversation. As soon as the material is fixed, replace the estimate with specific packages, dimensions and weights.

Transport solutions

01

Quotation for trade show and event transport: the details that count

A reliable quotation for trade show or event transport comes from a few but complete details: what is being transported, from where to where, when and under which handover conditions. Start with the actual transport units and the two handover points. Add time windows and known conditions at the venue – the quotation can then reflect more than the event name and a rough crate count.

02

Shipment changed? Keeping quotation and scope up to date

After a first quotation, the scope of material often changes: an exhibit is added, the stage gets bigger, printed matter is dropped. Compare the new shipment with the list the quotation was based on and name added or removed units. Quotation and actual transport then stay on the same basis – and there are no surprises at the end.

03

Reporting a different package count before handover

The number of packages often changes shortly before collection: accessories are repacked, cartons combined, a case added. Compare the actual shipment with the most recent list and report differences with specific IDs. The project team can then tell whether only the packaging or the goods themselves have changed.
