Common questions

Which carriers support trade show delivery?

7 carriers publish a code for trade show delivery, and a further 2 support it through a request field rather than a code. Delivery to a convention centre or exhibition site.

Is there a standard trade show delivery code across carriers?

No. Each carrier defines its own code, so the same service is spelled differently at every carrier you integrate with — ABF Freight uses Acc_TRDSHWD, Banyan Technology uses LTDEL, Mothership uses tradeshow, Daylight Transport uses Convention/Tradeshow. A code is only meaningful together with the carrier it belongs to.

Need this programmatically? /api/accessorials/map?service=tradeshow-delivery returns the same data as JSON on every plan.
