Transport Musts
The Guac can seem a bit intimidating to travel with, however when transporting, there are just a few things to keep in mind:
Make sure ALL Guac accessories are in their proper place in the case, and no accessories are left loose. Loose accessories can damage the booth.
During shipping, it is best to remove the camera. While not absolutely necessary, it is the safest option.

Use a separate carrying case or piece of luggage to transport the camera and printer media
Zip ties can be used to keep the cases securely closed
How To
Ship Chips
The Guac Booth, unlike the Salsa, has a printer included. There are a few notable things when prepping Chips for shipment:
Make sure the printer media has been removed from the printer and the scrap bin has been cleaned out.
Transporting with the printer media inside the printer can cause issues with jamming and/or damage the heating element
After transport, especially flying, your printer will need time to acclimate to the current temperature and humidity level. We do not advise using the printer immediately after travel.
How To
International Shipping
Shipping a booth internationally can be a struggle, especially as the cost can go up significantly depending on where you are shipping it to.
An alternative to regular shipping is potentially using a Freight Forwarder. We have some information on Freight Forwarding available here.
What To Know
Shipping Insurance
When shipping anything, there is sadly the chance for the item to get damaged or lost in transport. While the Guac and Chips cases have been extensively tested - including being thrown down the stairs! - damage can still occur, and it can still be lost.
This is why we always recommend insuring your booth when shipping. That way, if anything happens, it is much easier to get the booth repaired or replaced.
