  Outbound Shipping


Every shipment Grit receives, whether at the advance warehouse or direct to show site, requires an outbound Bill of Lading (BOL) to inform Grit of how you are shipping your items back after the show. Grit can only assist in any shipment left at show site if we have the final shipping location and a contact in case there are additional questions.
