Allstates WorldCargo Acquires ELITeXPO

We wanted to share some important news regarding ELITeXPO. Since our formation in 1987, ELITeXPO has become a trusted leader as a shipping and exhibit asset management company dedicated to the trade show and live event industry. Over the past year, we have made strategic plans to ensure our growth well into the future, for both our customers and our employees. To get to that next level would require expanded resources and a highly skilled team capable of managing our growing business at the level that we and you have come to expect.

To achieve this goal, we have joined forces with a strategic partner and have been acquired by Allstates WorldCargo, a leader in customized, expedited logistics solutions. Allstates WorldCargo specializes in the tradeshow vertical, and we are pleased to be joining forces with a company who understands the unique requirements of this industry.

ELITeXPO will continue operating under the same name, with the same team, systems, processes, and points of contact. There are no changes to invoicing, shipment handling, or account management at this time. The daily points of contact you rely on will remain available to you. As owners of the company, my wife Leslie and I are looking forward to seeing what the next chapter of our lives will bring. We are proud to see what we created 39 years ago continue to grow and know all our employees will have growth opportunities with a great company well into the future.

We appreciate the trust you place in us and believe this decision strengthens the organization while keeping your day-to-day experience the same. If you have any questions, your current contact is always available.

Air Freight

ELITeXPO offers expedited air freight shipping services to ensure your trade show shipments make it to the show on-time. We understand the urgent nature of many trade show shipments and can handle all those short turn-around times between events. We have years of experience getting that “oops I forgot to send the graphics” shipment to the show, so you never have to worry. Expedited shipping does require our operations staff to be advised of the dimensions of each of your pieces. This allows us to make sure we can find the soonest departure that can accommodate your shipment. Expedited air shipments are subject to all regulations of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This means that you will be asked to fill out additional security paperwork, complete descriptions of package contents will be required, and all shipments shipped via air are subject to full inspection and cargo screening.

International Shipping

ELITeXPO has the ability to get your exhibit shipments to and from the show no matter where that show may be. We have a full network of agents, carriers and local cartage companies throughout the world to handle all of your shipments. Shipping internationally is divided into two types: Canada, and International. Canadian shipments require a Commercial Invoice, and in the case of Medical Equipment, Computer Equipment, and other certain types of materials additional paperwork may be required. Otherwise, shipping to and from Canada is basically no different from shipping Domestically. We can provide a Customs Broker if needed, as well. Other International Shipments are basically the same as Canadian shipments in that they need a Commercial Invoice and possible extra paperwork based on contents. But the level of involvement is a lot greater because of customs and other governmental regulations and more questions will be asked depending on the country, city and venue your international tradeshow is in. Please allow more lead time for any shipments going to Mexico or Overseas.

Ground Freight

ELITeXPO’s Ground Shipping services are an excellent option for trade show shipments that have 7 or more business days to get to their destination. The extended shipping time allows us to consolidate your shipment with other shipments for better pricing. It also gives us more flexibility as to which carriers can be used for the major portion of the transport of your shipment that also reduces your costs.

Full Truck Load & Exclusive Use Vehicle

ELITeXPO can provide trailerload and exclusive vehicle trade show shipping services throughout North America. We can take your trade show booth materials from your facility to a tradeshow with return service after the show. We can also provide show to show caravan exhibit shipping services. We offer Exclusive Vehicle Rates for Nationwide Coverage & trans-border service to/from Canada. We have air-ride trailers, straight trucks, or exclusive vans with Lift gates, pad & blanket wrap, and load bars all being available.
