Location: IL | Okay, this may be a stupid question but, say you fly out for the weekend to the NFR and you do some shopping. Okay, if I ever go, it will be A LOT of shopping. My questions is, how in the world do you get all of your awesome goods home with you?!?  ha! |

| Bring some extra carry on suitcases and fill them up when you fly home! Or plan on buying some out there. If its too big to fit I guess you have to ship it home lol |

haha! That's what I was thinking you'd have to do! I mean, if you buy a saddle or something I would imagine you'd have to find the nearest UPS depot and ship it back to your house? lol |

Location: between here and there | If you buy something large like a saddle, ask the shop to ship it for you! Otherwise, I'd get a big box from a store and ship the rest back. Cheaper than on the plane usually! |

The weight would be my problem. Ha! I remember when I flew out there for our wedding, my suitcase was just a 1lb or 2lb over and they charged us out the wahzoo for those extra pounds! |

Location: Randolph, Utah | I like to fly southwest cause of the free bags! I usually try and pack light and have one bag that is close to empty. I bought a saddle pad last year and the place I bought it shipped it for me.
ETA: I think the sands has a place to ship right outside the doors to the convention center.

Location: The South | The NRS shopping thing last year was set up to ship it home for you, it was just like if you bought it out of the catalog or online, but you got to see it in person before you bought it. Pretty neat I thought.
We could take a carry on plus 2 bags for free on the plane so we just took an empty suitcase to put our goodies in.
I want to go back next year! |

Location: Tulsa, Ok | There is a shipping office set up in the lobby in the Sands Convention Center. Can't remember if they do UPS or Fedex. Most of the vendors will just ship large items directly to you. |

Location: lost in missouri | Most vendors are set up to ship it to you from there. They want the sale so are more than happy to help get it home for you. Pack light so u can take so goods back with u on the plane, but buy all u want cause there are satelite FEDEX and UPS stands set up to help u if a vendor cant. |
