Transporting Your Model To Finals: Two OptionsOption 1: Ship Model Via Fedex

1. Models must be shipped on February 13 or 14, 2017—NO EXCEPTIONS—directly to the Capital Hilton via FedEx.

Note: All items on the model must be securely attached to prevent damage. If the model is damaged during shipping, repairs will be permitted at the Model Unpacking Session on Sunday, February 19.

2. Linder will send the educator, via email, a FedEx shipping label. The return label for your model will also be sent at this time. Please bring the return label to Finals.

3. FedEx is the only service that may be used to ship your model to Finals. You will need to deliver your model to a FedEx shipping center. A full list of FedEx shipping centers will be included in the email with your shipping labels.

4. Contact your Regional Coordinator for additional tips and advice about shipping your model.

5. It is imperative that teams comply with the following Future City and FedEx shipping requirements and dimensions:

• Themaximumallowableweightlimitforthemodeland shipping container is 75 pounds. If the combined weight of your model and shipping container exceeds 75 pounds you must obtain approval for the additional weight from Linder (futurecity@linderglobal.com) prior to shipment. Your team will be assessed the additional shipping charges. If you fail to get permission, your team will be assessed the additional shipping charges and points will be deducted.

• Shippingcontainerscannotbelargerthan30”widex54”longx24”high.

• Wooden shipping containers may not be used.

• Pleaseuselightweightpackingmaterialtominimizedamage to your model during shipment. No packing peanuts are allowed. They make a big mess when unpacking boxes and the hotel charges extra to clean them up. If the model is damaged during shipping, teams may make repairs during the Model Unpacking session on Sunday, February 19. Teams are responsible for bringing all necessary supplies for repairs.

Option 2: Drive Model To Finals

1. If the team elects to drive the model to Washington, DC rather than shipping it, please inform Linder.

2. Teams driving their model will receive a $100.00 travel stipend.

3. Parking fees are not reimbursed. There are a number of parking garages in the area surrounding the hotel with varying daily rates.

4. Prior to arrival, Linder will email instructions to the educator regarding where to bring the model upon arrival at the hotel.
