Trade Show Shipping to the Javits Center

About the Javits Center and your show freight
The Javits Center is in Manhattan, where traffic, bridge and tunnel crossings and street restrictions make timing hard to predict. A delivery window that looks generous on paper can shrink fast on move-in day. Build in extra time and keep the paperwork ready.
Our location in Edison, NJ is a short regional trip from Manhattan, which helps for exhibits shipping from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. Freight from farther away moves on our nationwide network, and we plan the final approach to the city carefully.
Advance warehouse or direct-to-show in New York
Because getting a truck into Manhattan is slow, many New York exhibitors use the advance warehouse and let the show handle the last leg to the booth. Others choose direct-to-show for a small exhibit that can be delivered quickly at a firm appointment. The choice depends on the booth size, the window your exhibitor manual assigns and how much risk you are willing to take with traffic.
After the show, plan return freight before you arrive. Move-out at a busy venue is crowded, and a truck booked in advance for a specific time saves a long wait.
Planning tips for New York shows
- Allow extra time for tunnels, bridges and Manhattan traffic
- Book the post-show truck before move-in so you are not waiting at move-out
- Keep crate labels and exhibitor paperwork together for delivery
- Tell us about stairs, elevators or tight access at any second-stop address
