What is consignment?
Consignment is a familiar form to many people. You can consign items and goods by all modes of transport such as rail, road, and air. In this article, let's find out what consignment means?
Consignment is also a quite popular service in the transportation industry in many countries. Accordingly, consigning goods is when you bring one or more of your items (or goods) to SEND them to a transport unit and SIGN for confirmation. Shippers can move at the same time as the order or not.
- In the case of checked goods and belongings carried by customers on the same trip (train, bus, flight) it is called CHECKED BAGGAGE.
- In the case where the sender's goods are transported by the transport unit but the sender is not on that train, it is called CONSIGNMENT.
This form of consignment of goods is increasingly popular. It has advantages that not all forms have, but there are also some disadvantages such as:
Advantages of consigning goods:
- The consignor of goods (also known as the shipper) can quickly ship or sell an item with the help of the consignor. Delivery time for consigned goods is in accordance with the given commitment.
- The consignor (service company) does not need to invest capital or only has to spend a little capital when choosing this form.
Disadvantages of consigning goods:
- Managing goods is quite complicated because you have to track the stages of receiving, returning and paying.
- If the goods are damaged or have problems, handling is quite difficult.
