for transport of your purchased or rented goods you have several options available :
– By far the best, cheapest and easiest method of transport is for you to arrange a pickup from our warehouse in Goirle , the Netherlands using your favorite courier. Most of our international customers use this option. If you have access to for instance DHL, fedex or UPS it will be a lot cheaper for you. We will arrange for a sturdy transport crate and can load the machines with our forklifts no problem. Also hiring a local carrier or transport company to arrange for a pick-up is a good way to go as this will always be cheaper and fully under your control.
– Another option is for us to arrange standard trucking with a carrier like DHL CARGO. Naturally this will be more expensive as we would have to account for our time & logistics so we would have to put a margin on top of the normal pricing. In this case we would send the machine to you in a reusable shipping crate at some random time in the week prior to the event. The exact date or time will not be known as we are dependent on DHL so we need to send to a location that can receive streetside on workdays between 08.00 and 17.00.
In case of a rental situation you will need to store the transport crate during the event. After the event you would put the machine back in the crate and we would send you a return-label which you need to stick on the crate. The pickup will be arranged by our courier service at a random time somewhere in the week after the event. The exact date or time of pickup will not be known so the goods need to be at a location that can deliver streetside on workdays between 08.00 and 17.00
– Yet another option is the use of a private courier. This option is usually best when we deliver 4 or more machines, or when you need assistance to place machines at a venue / tradeshow booth, or when you need technical assistance to set up and tear down machines at the beginning and end of your event. This is a more expensive option as the charge is Eu 1.50 per km. from our central warehouse in Goirle, but it gives you the most flexibility and if needed 24/7 service around the clock.
tip in case you consider a rental : If your event or venue is far away, or if you only request 1 or 2 machines it is often also viable and smarter to purchase the machine(s) instead of renting them, as this may turn out to be a cheaper option. With the purchase option you only incur 1 transport as compared to a rental situation where 2 transports need to be arranged for delivery and again for pickup.
