Incoming freight for the conference can be sent to an off-site shipping location beginning the week of Monday June 13th through Monday June 20th. Freight should be well marked with the following 4 pieces of information:

Label each box with the activity that it will be used for….”Make & Take”, “Table-Top Display”, “Roundtable Presentation”, etc…
Include the name of your state on each box or package you send. Boxes will be organized in the storage room at the hotel according to the state from which they came. So when you go to look for your boxes, they will be in the area marked with the state’s name from which the boxes or packages came.
Label each box to indicate the total number of boxes within that shipment. For example: If you are shipping 4 boxes, please label the first “Box 1 of 4”, then “Box 2 of 4”, and so on.

Pickup of boxes sent directly to the Harbor Beach Marriott
The Marriott will need to give these boxes to you personally, and they will not be stored in our conference shipping office. You will need to call the hotel operator and ask for shipping and the shipping office will help you locate and sign for your box(es). You may also ask the front desk for help with this. The hotel will charge you a fee for handling of these boxes which they can put on your guestroom folio, if you are staying at the hotel or credit card payment if you are not staying at the hotel.

Outgoing Freight

On Saturday, June 25th, we will have a shipment area setup in the Caribbean I-III Foyer. We will have blank shipping slips, for UPS only, so please bring your account numbers or credit card information to pay for shipping charges. We will also have tape so that you can close your boxes up. We will have UPS come pickup these boxes, so that you are not charged handling fees by the hotel. This area will be closed by 12:15pm, so please make sure to bring your packages by as soon as possible.

Please click here to see what the UPS shipping label will look like. Feel free to print a copy and fill it out in advance.

The hotel also has a business center that can assist you with shipping, but handling fees will be accessed.
