Sharon,
Some years, the Decibel Management folks have wanted their label on all 6 sides of each box, but I don't think I did that last year. Thought I remembered reading in this year's instructions that they wanted the 6 labels, but now that I've gone back through their instructions, I haven't located it anywhere. Am I just missing it or did I just dream that they want a label on all sides?

Everyone can note that the shipping label we download from the site is put on the box IN ADDITION TO the label you get from your shipper ...
the reason those boxes couldn't ship was that the sender's payment/account info hadn't been entered.
again ... you need the GES generated label (for delivery at the festival) AND your own shipping label (for delivery TO the warehouse)
Cheers, Sharon

Helen, wanted to let you know of a snag we hit on shipping the National Book Festival boxes to D.C. On Monday I affixed the labels and took them to the mail room to be shipped by UPS. Yesterday, mail services called Toni and said they couldn't accept the boxes for UPS because they don't have the appropriate shipping labels on them. I noticed there were no bar codes of any sort on the labels, but it's the link I found on the website for Decibel Management as the link to print shipping labels in Guy's welcome email does not function (so maybe I wasn't in the right place?).
Mail services returned the boxes here yesterday morning. I immediately sent an email to the expo vendor's address that Guy/LOC provided ([log in to unmask]) asking for clarification on the shipping labels and if I was not using the correct link to print them. I have not heard anything back so I'm wondering if we need to reach out to Guy or someone else at LOC directly, OR we could contact another state to see what link/labels they use.
Can you contact Guy and see if anyone else is having issues and what the correct link/procedure is for the shipping labels so we can get them out this week?
