Process to Ship Items from Hotel after the Show

• Vendors must seal and add the appropriate shipping labels to all boxes they would like shipped before they are dropped off.

Vendors must call and schedule the pickup with their shipping company in advance and provide all the required hotel information. The pickup should be scheduled for Monday September 11th, or Tuesday the 12th at the latest.

• Between 4:00PM and 6:00PM on Sunday, September 10th (i.e., right after the vendor show), the vendor must go to the JerseyFest check in table, which is located in the hallway in front of the convention’s vendor room (i.e., Grand Ballroom), and notify the JerseyFest team that they need to store boxes at the hotel for pick up the next day (i.e., Monday).

• The JerseyFest team will escort and help the vendor bring the boxes to the secured room. Only the JerseyFest managers, hotel Banquet Manager, and Director will have the key and access to the storage room on Sunday. During the week, only the hotel Banquet Manager and Director will have access to the storage room.

• All boxes will be sorted and stored in separate sections in the storage room based on the shipping company being used for the pickup.

• When the shipping company arrives for pickup at the hotel, the Hotel Banquet Manager or Hotel Director will open the storage room and have their staff hand off the boxes to the shipping company’s delivery man.

• The shipping company’s receipts for the pickups will be left with the hotel Banquet Manager or Director. The Hotel Director will mail them to the JerseyFest producer and he can be contacted if vendors need copies of the receipt faxed to them.

Our friends at the Rhode Island Modelers Association have generously offered to host the “Repair Ward” for Jerseyfest https://www.facebook.com/Robertsalony821/
this year. This is a repair shop for people who arrive at the show and their model kit entry might be damaged. Or anyone in general needing some repair work on a kit. Neal DeConte and friends will be onsite to help with all repairs and this service will be free if charge. See below flyer for all info. They will also be hosting the after show, show and tell and party. A great informal gathering for people to show off their kits and discuss techniques. The after parties are great places for information on how to improve your modeling skills
