Consignee

In the transport and logistics industry, a ‘consignee’ is the person or business that receives the goods or items being shipped. They are like the destination point for the shipment. When you order something online and it’s delivered to your home or business, you are the consignee. The consignee is responsible for accepting the delivery, checking the items for any damages, and ensuring that everything is in order. They play a crucial role in the supply chain as they receive and take ownership of the goods, making sure they get to the right place and into the hands of the right people.
