What is a Receiver Pays Consignment?

In the majority of circumstances, businesses will apply a shipping cost to purchased goods in order to account for the extra cost from transporting freight. There will be times when your clients may request for the ability to have this transport booked on their own account, thus removing this cost. In this instance, the movement is paid for by the receiver and this is called a Receiver Pays consignment. As Receiver Pays consignments are a key component of the transport and logistics industry, MachShip has facilitated the ability to consign and book these consignments through the system.

  • TGE IPEC
