Jobbers is the ONLY freight carrier allowed by the Bismarck Event Center to deliver to or pick up from the Bismarck Event Center.
If you need a freight carrier to deliver and/or remove your freight from the Bismarck Event Center, you need to preregister with Jobbers Convention Freight Services.

Shipping Your Items Back After the Show
To assist you in preparing to leave the Bismarck Event Center and ensure your freight arrives promptly at your next location please follow these steps.
- Pack and seal your freight in boxes and crates as necessary. If your freight arrived on a pallet and you need a pallet for return delivery, the Event Center staff will provide you with one.
- If freight is being shipped individually all pieces must have identification marking of either company name or booth numbers. If shipped on a pallet the pallet must be banded or wrapped if unstable.
- If your freight will cross international borders, it should have two copies of all required customs papers plus appropriate courier international shipping papers. Neither Jobbers nor the Event Center stock these forms.
- Leave all freight in your booth location with the following paperwork attached to your freight:
- A completed Jobbers Return Shipping Form (this form tells us how much we should expect to receive from the Event Center).
- Bill of Lading (this allows us to release your freight to your chosen courier from our warehouse).
- A Bill of Lading is NOT required for FedEx or UPS-type shipments as the applied sticker is their Bill of Lading.
- Bills of Lading are required for over-the-road couriers.
- If your freight requires any special attention (bandings, shrink wrapping or re-boxing) and you haven’t spoken to Jobbers about it, simply make a notation on your Return Shipping Form describing what you would like done and we will accommodate you.
- Banding cost – $50 per item
- Wrapping cost – $25 per item
- Re-boxing cost – based on current box prices and labor; cost typically does not exceed $25
- Ensure you leave no personal information behind (e.g. copies of credit card forms, receipts of personal items not intended for shipping).
- Your freight should be left in the booth. It will be transported by the Event Center to the dock. Jobbers will receive your freight and return it to the warehouse, where your courier will pick it up.
