SHIPPING TO PRODUCT WALK Suppliers are responsible for all shipping costs to and from the event.

1. Shipping via the Website All items you are shipping for the event must be documented on the event Website, www.productwalk.com. Your Hartmann Studios Supplier Coordinator will authorize the correct destination for your product and email you to begin the process. Her email will include specifics about what product you should ship and what quantity is requested: For each new inbound shipment enter the shipment contact information - so that we know who to contact in the event of damage or shortages.

• A unique manifest number will be assigned to each shipment

• You will download the unique Excel manifest form

• Complete the form, including package type and SKU numbers as well as instructions for product disposition post show (see page 5 for options)

• Upload to the Website

• Once upload is complete you can print official shipment labels

• After you have shipped your items, return to the website to enter your tracking information 2. Your Shipment Destination Most products will ship to the Product Walk advance warehouse in Las Vegas where deliveries are held until load-in. Other possible destinations include various scenic shops that may build special displays for some departments. Please follow the instructions in the email from your Supplier Coordinator. It is possible that you will ship to more than one location. 3. Las Vegas Warehouse This facility will receive advance freight, sort it according to placement on the show floor, load it into trailers and await the event load-in date. IF YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO SHIP TO THIS LOCATION receiving dates/hours are: February 12 – 28, 2018 Monday – Friday only (no weekend deliveries accepted) 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Refer to the email from your Supplier Coordinator and the Website for details 4. Shipping to yourself if you are staying at the Mandalay Bay Hotel See information from Mandalay Bay Business Center on page 6. Note that you must pick up your own package, pay all applicable handling fees and bring the package to the Product Walk display floor. Refer to the process for hand carrying items on page 7. 5. Inbound small package shipments to all destinations You may choose to ship via any service. These packages will be accepted during the scheduled receiving hours for your shipping destination. Refer to the email from your Supplier Coordinator for details. Shipments will not be accepted on weekends. All small package shipments should be labeled properly using the Product Walk shipping labels in conjunction with your small package shipping label. Please do not ship any small packages directly to the Mandalay Bay unless you are staying there or unless approved by your Supplier Coordinator as you must pick the package up from the Business Center. Handling fees will apply, and are not covered by Product Walk participation fees.

6. Hand carrying items to the event There is no free parking lot for privately-owned vehicles near Product Walk (Bayside D/E/F). The closest free parking is a lot across S. Las Vegas Blvd. Paid parking is available in the parking garage underneath Bayside E/F. If you have product that you can’t carry through the front entrance door, you will need to go to the Marshalling Yard. You will be directed to a dock at the Mandalay Bay when one is available for unloading of personally owned vehicles (POVs) POVs may not be left unattended at the dock for more than 10 minutes. All suppliers carrying product into or out of the event must stop at the box/bag inspection desk at the entrance to Product Walk. If you are carrying product into the event, complete a manifest on productwalk.com and turn in your copy at the desk. If you do not have a copy of your online manifest you will be asked to complete a Hand Carry Manifest form before you can enter the show floor. This form includes the disposition of your items after the event. If you are carrying POP or signage into the event, your items will be collected at the box/bag inspection desk. These items will be reviewed by your Visual Merchant and released when they are approved. As a reminder, all signage must be approved and produced by your Hartmann Studios planning team. If you plan to hand carry product, tools, POP or signage out of the event, you must complete a property removal form and turn it in as you exit Product Walk. PROPERTY REMOVAL FORMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE BOX/BAG INSPECTION DESK OR AT THE HELP DESK

7. Product Quantity Guidelines The email from your Supplier Coordinator will include details about how much product you should ship. This will vary depending on the display type.

We have been instructed by THD that the bays in the Product Walk should be set with a minimal amount of product, but still resemble the actual sets in The Home Depot stores. Please use your Product Walk planogram (POG) and follow the outline below when you are completing your website manifest for your product shipments for this event.

Product that is Merchandised on a Shelf If items are packaged in a case that is used to hold the merchandise on the shelf, (cut case packaging) we would like to have one case only for each facing on the shelf. If an item has multiple facings, we will need the appropriate number of cases to cover all of the facings. For single small items that are not merchandised inside of a case or box, we will need only two to three (maximum of three) items for back stock for each facing that it has on the shelf.

Individual SKUs without display boxes – we will need two or three items for each facing.

Each SKU is merchandised in individual display boxes (cut case boxes). We will need a cut case box with product for every facing.

Cut Case Four facings on shelf

Single Items Three facings of shelf – two deep for each facing

4

Product that is Merchandised on Peg Hooks We will be using ten-inch peg hooks for every bay. If you have product that is merchandised on a peg hook in the bay or in a shadow box, please ensure that you provide enough product to fill each peg hook. We want the amount of product on each peg hook to resemble the settings in an actual Home Depot store. Weight Intensive Product For items that are weight intensive, we must set empty or false boxes (or bags) to show the bay’s holding power. This process will eliminate the waste and expense that you would incur by shipping the “real thing”, but will still project the correct message to The Home Depot’s management teams as they view your category.

For bagged products, (concrete, fertilizer, seed) that are merchandised on a shelf, each bag must be filled with a light weight substitute so that the weight of the merchandise and the pallet is minimized. For all heavy canned products, (paint, building materials,) each can must be shipped empty and clean. Hazardous Materials Product You need to provide a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for each product that is deemed hazardous. The MSDS sheet should be uploaded to the Product Walk Web site.

The stock in this toilet bay is set with empty boxes to eliminate the weight.

PRODUCT DISPOSITION POST SHOW

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE DONE WITH YOUR PRODUCT AFTER THE EVENT.

When you complete your INBOUND shipping manifest you must also list your post-show product disposition instructions.

CHOICES FOR POST-SHOW DISPOSITION 1. Product Donation Opportunity – it’s easy to help those in need!

Support The Home Depot Foundation Framing Hope Product Donation Program by donating your products from the show! See page 13 for more information. Donating is easy and cost efficient – save on return logistics and become eligible for a tax deduction while supporting communities and the environment. Simply choose “Donate” on the Shipping Manifest and we’ll arrange shipping from the show to vetted nonprofit organizations and cover the cost. If you want to change your original disposition instructions to “Donate,” visit the Help Desk onsite. Did you know you can donate obsolete products throughout the year as part of your partnership with The Home Depot? Please contact Heather Pritchard at Heather_Pritchard@HomeDepot.com for more information.

2. Discard

3. Return You have many options for having your product returned. See below. Suppliers are responsible for all shipping costs and must make payment arrangements with the official show carrier, TradeShow Logistics (TSL), or the carrier of your choice, in advance. A company representative must be onsite until 12 p.m. on Friday, March 16, 2018 if you are returning product.

If you are using a carrier of your choice: There is a marshalling yard for the event. See below for more details.

RETURNING PRODUCT – YOUR OPTIONS

1. Small Packages

If suppliers are not sending a representative to show site to oversee return shipments, all info must be provided on the manifest form, including UPS account number. The flat rate for any single shipment under 100 pounds is $200.00 if a supplier does not have a UPS account number and needs TSL to handle. UPS small package shipments (<50 pounds)

• Packages must be accompanied by pre-printed UPS small package labels-with the barcode. If return shipping labels are not pre-printed, but the supplier has a shipment set up with UPS, they can email TSL the label or come to the Help Desk to have them printed. (Email to nkreger@tradeshowlogistics.com)

• If the supplier does not have their account number, TSL will be unable to help them with their shipment.

• All shipments will require an outbound material handling form to be completed by a representative from your company. Failing to have proper labeling on your small package items may result in your freight being reconsigned to the show carrier (TSL).

UPS Freight shipments (>50 pounds)

• If shipping with UPS Freight, the supplier does NOT need to have a pre-printed shipping label.

• Arrangements can be made at the Help Desk with your UPS Freight account number or your credit card

• TSL can provide labels on show site for any suppliers shipping with UPS Freight.

• If the supplier has indicated they are return shipping with UPS Freight on their manifest form, a pre-printed OMHF will be provided to them on show site along with pre-printed labels from TSL.

All shipments will require an outbound material handling form to be completed by a representative from your company. Failing to have proper labeling on your small package items may result in your freight being reconsigned to the show carrier (TSL).

3. Official Show Carrier – Tradeshow Logistics TradeshowLogistics (TSL) is the preferred show carrier for Product Walk 2018. TSL will have a team of representatives onsite to help with your shipping needs. Shipping with TSL insures quality service that cannot be offered by any other carrier because they will be located right on the show floor. As a customer, your return shipping will also receive priority attention. We recommend you choose TSL when preparing to ship to or from Product Walk 2018. You can request a TSL shipping estimate based on the manifest form you upload by emailing Nic Kreger at nkreger@tradeshowlogic.com or by calling 770-432-8410, extension 111.

1. SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS VIA THE OFFICIAL SHOW CARRIER-TSL

Please come to the Help Desk during your department’s scheduled day/time. You will verify that your outbound shipment information is correct. If you are attending the event and shipping via TradeshowLogistics Transport (TSL), have provided them with your outbound shipping information and handled the payment arrangements, pre-addressed shipping labels and material handling order forms will be prepared and ready for your review at the Supplier Help Desk. You may pack your own product or a show representative (Advantage Solutions ) will pack it for you.

9

Once your shipment is ready either you, or the show representative, will turn in the completed Material Handling form with piece counts and weight information to the Help Desk.

If a show representative (Advantage Solutions) is packing for you, the Help Desk will give the show representative a Material Handling Form to complete on your behalf. Once your shipment is packed, labeled, and ready to go, the show representative will turn in the completed material handling form to the Help Desk. If you are doing your own packing and labeling, please fill in the correct piece counts and weight information on the form. Once your shipment is ready, please bring the completed material handling form to the Help Desk. All payment arrangements must be completed in advance. Please come to the Help Desk as soon as possible after your arrival at the show to finalize payment details. While TradeshowLogistics Transport is partnering with Hartmann Studios on the event, they are separate legal entities. Therefore, they will need to have a credit card on file to cover the transportation costs of your shipment. Credit card authorization forms will be available at the Supplier Help Desk. The card will not be charged until the shipment is complete. If you would like to have TradeshowLogistics Transport bill you, they can do that, but they still require a credit card on file to guarantee payment.

2. SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS VIA ALL OTHER CARRIERS Please inform your carrier to check-in at the marshalling yard, using your company name and department number, on Friday, March 16 - no later than 5 p.m. - or on Saturday, March 17 by 10 a.m. If your carrier fails to report BY SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 2018 AT 10 a.m., we will re-consign all shipments to TradeshowLogistics Transport. We do not want to re-consign your shipment, but we will have no other alternative in order to clear the hall by the Mandalay Bay’s deadline. Your carrier/driver should check-in at the marshalling yard using your company name AND department number (i.e. D28i_ABC Grill Co.). This will help expedite your freight pick-up once they arrive at the Mandalay Bay loading dock.

If you have made shipping arrangements with a carrier other than TradeshowLogistics Transport, it is your responsibility to identify that carrier on your outbound material handling form and call the carrier to arrange for pick up. Please come to the Help Desk to complete the material handling form when your items are packed, ready for pick-up and the Outbound Material Handling form has been signed by your Freight Coordinator or Production Manager.

Similar to the load-in process, vehicles will be directed to the correct Mandalay Bay loading dock when the shipment is packed and ready to be picked up.
