Delivery through DHL/UPS etc. :
You can deliver some boxes via a courrier, however make sure to inform them well enough where to deliver and to inform you direclty when they arrive. Courriers are not allowed to enter the venue, therefore the best way would be to tell them to deliver the goods at the south entrance of the FIRA and to go there to pick up your boxes. The reason why they are not allowed within Gate 4 until the unloading doors is that they need to pay to enter the venue, which they will not do. Another option would be to communicate the hotel adress.
