Transparency benefits you as the client.
Absolute Exhibits commits to openness, clear communication, and accountability. The Absolute Exhibits sales order uses pre-determined pricing, which keeps things straightforward and beneficial.
How We Build the Number
We start with the exhibit rental price, which includes graphics, flooring, furnishings, and A/V equipment. Next, we add shipping costs to and from the venue. For Las Vegas and Orlando, we apply a standard fee; for all other cities, we calculate a per-mile rate.
We then calculate installation and dismantle charges. To do this, we use show-provided dates and times, along with our pre-determined setup hours. We also factor in targeted move-in times and potential wait times at the dock. Most shows require a mix of straight time, overtime, and sometimes double time, depending on the schedule. We account for these variables in advance. The Absolute Exhibits sales order you see already includes them. You never receive post-show billing from us.
When a Bill Changes
A bill changes only if you request additional work or extra furnishings. Otherwise, the number on your order is the final number. We don’t issue vague estimates. Instead, we include labor time, freight handling, electricians, and forklift wait times up front. That’s why the Absolute Exhibits sales order protects you from big surprises later.
The Bottom Line
Think of the Absolute Exhibits sales order as your final invoice. We provide full transparency before the show begins, not after it ends. You know your true costs early, you plan more effectively, and you can focus on your event instead of worrying about billing disputes.
