Ship Early, Store Locally: Avoid Fees in Calgary

Save Money and Stress by Staging Your Booth Materials Ahead of Time

Trade show shipping doesn’t always go according to plan. Freight can arrive too early, miss advance receiving windows, or sit on a carrier’s truck for days — all of which can cost you time and money. With Mondogigs, you don’t have to wait for the perfect delivery date. Ship early, store locally, and have your materials staged and ready when you are.

Our short-term trade show storage in Calgary gives exhibitors a flexible and cost-effective alternative to expensive venue receiving and warehouse fees. Whether your shipment arrives a week before the show or a month ahead, we make sure it’s secure, organized, and available when setup day comes.

Why Ship Early?

✅ Avoid High Receiving Fees
Most venues charge steep per-hundredweight fees and overtime rates if freight arrives outside narrow delivery windows. By shipping early to our facility, you avoid surprise costs and union minimums.

✅ Control Your Schedule
Don’t plan around the venue’s timetable. Store your materials with us and pick them up on your schedule — weekdays, evenings, or weekends.

✅ Reduce Risk of Delays
Shipping early reduces the chance of weather delays, carrier issues, or scheduling conflicts derailing your setup timeline.

✅ Simplify Complex Logistics
If you’re shipping from overseas, coordinating multiple suppliers, or sending multiple pallets, storing locally lets you consolidate everything before the show.

Step 4 – Pick Up When It’s Convenient
