Freight / Loading

Freight Deliveries

Due to limited storage space, W.M.A. will not accept advance freight deliveries. We recommend that all freight be shipped to your service contractor and delivered to W.M.A. during the designated move-in period. Any freight scheduled for delivery to W.M.A. during move-in periods must be to the attention of the service contractor. The W.M.A. will not accept C.O.D. shipments under any circumstances, nor will the W.M.A. accept responsibility for costs associated with freight delivery/pick-up during non-assigned periods. W.M.A. will not be liable for the security of freight left in the facility following the conclusion of your move-out date(s), nor can we assume responsibility for the shipping of such freight. Freight left on the show floor will be disposed of at Lessee's expense. Please notify all exhibitors of our freight management policy so that advance plans can be made to avoid any potential charges that will be billed to Lessee.
