What are cost-effective ways to transport portable bar and marketing assets without paying expensive courier fees?

Members report that expensive asset transport (often £500+ single way) can be significantly reduced by investing in portable, modular equipment designed for easy courier shipment. **Recommended approach:** - **Rapid Bars** — portable bar units that arrive in wheelie cases and can be transported via standard couriers like DHL at a fraction of the cost. Multiple members have purchased these and confirmed they fit in the back of a normal car, making them suitable for trade shows and small events. These eliminate the need for expensive bespoke logistics on each transport. **Key principle:** The cost savings come from switching to assets that are inherently transportable by standard parcel/courier services rather than requiring specialist haulage. Members emphasize choosing equipment that's easy to assemble on-site.
