Working with NorthStar in
4 Easy Steps

Step 1: discuss your event schedule with a NorthStar shipping coach

Tell us about your show. Share what's shipping, where it's going and the show dates with your NorthStar Shipping Coach.

Step 2: plan how freight gets to and from your event

We plan the route. Your coach picks the best way to get your freight there and back, based on your readiness.

Step 3: your shipping coach prepares the paperwork and schedules pickup

We handle paperwork and pickup. Your coach prepares the bill of lading and show labels, then we pick up and palletize your freight.

Step 4: delivery to the show is confirmed and the return is booked

Delivered, and home again. Your freight arrives at the show on time, and your return is booked with the outbound.

What Our Customers Say

“NorthStar provided some of the best support I’ve experienced managing trade shows. They were always there with solutions—and always with a smile. Their service was consistently professional, efficient, and cost-effective, whether for shipping or storage. When an exhibit shipment ran into trouble at an event, they stepped in and rescued it without missing a beat. As our show presence grew from a small display to a major show footprint, their service scaled with us. Two thumbs up for a partner that truly goes above and beyond.”
