How it Works

At NorthStar, we know that every company has unique priorities and every tradeshow coordinator has a different level of experience and comfort with the shipping process. That’s why our shipping consultants invest time to get to know customers upfront. This allows them to build relationships that add value and identify customized solutions that maximize success.

 About the Initial Consultation

During our initial assessment, we’ll look at your tradeshow schedule and find out where you are in the planning process. We’ll also get to know you as a tradeshow coordinator and learn about your previous experiences. If you’re brand new to tradeshow shipping, we’ll walk you through the process and key decisions.
