Survival Tips for NYC’s Fashion Week

Hint: Let RDS Same Day Service Be Your Guide

There is no denying the fact that New York City is always bustling. So, when September’s annual Fashion Week rolls around, the craziness only turns crazier. If your business is involved in this year’s upcoming event, RDS Same Day Delivery can help. From quick delivery to logistics, we know plenty of inside secrets that’ll soothe your last-minute worries and keep you sane.

The statistics for Fashion Week can be astounding. Last year, for instance, 125,000 people watched the event in person, while 2 million others live streamed the show from the comfort of their own devices. With that many people watching, you can’t afford to make mistakes—which is exactly where RDS Same Day Delivery comes in. Our specialized delivery services can help during this fast-paced, deadline-driven fashion event.

Here’s how you can survive New York City Fashion Week 2018:

  • Rest. This year, Fashion Week is a nine-day event. So, the most helpful thing you can do prior to the event is rest up!
  • Organize your itinerary and book hotels. The week is a flurry of activities. Save yourself some stress by mapping out your calendar and booking your hotel room ahead of time.
  • Wear comfortable shoes. Standing around and waiting is a staple of Fashion Week. Be sure your shoes are extra comfy. Consider carrying some gel inserts with you—just in case you need backup.
  • Stay hydrated. Keep your bag stocked with plenty of water bottles. There will be crowds and more crowds. Finding time to hit the store for drinks isn’t always an option. Plus, it can get pricey. Carrying water with you will save time, money and keep you hydrated.
  • Stock up on snacks. In the same vein, it’s a smart idea to stuff your bag with some fruit or simple snacks—just in case those hunger pains hit when you can’t leave your space.

Great Service and reliable customer support.
RDS has been a fantastic delivery partner in New York and surrounding areas for my video production company. They’ve been very helpful with complex consolidation of airline and FedEx shipments for local delivery. Sofia, Vanessa, and ops team are always responsive and helpful with communication. Will continue to use for all my New York based projects.
Just came upon RDS Same Day Delivery the other day when I urgently needed a package delivered the same day. Their customer service is great; and Sofia is super helpful and responsive! Their service was fast, and the delivery person I met was pleasant. The email alerts include the name & picture of the person who is handling the delivery, and I received notifications when the package was delivered as well. I will definitely be using this service again.
Sofia and Larry are the BEST!
They couldn't help me because I needed refrigerated trucking...so they set me up with 5 great refrigerated options!
