The term “consignor” refers to an individual or organization that is responsible for sending goods to a transport provider at the point of loading, which is commonly known as pick-up. It is the consignor’s responsibility to ensure that the goods are properly packaged, labeled, and prepared for shipment. The consignor must also provide the transport provider with all the necessary documentation, such as a bill of lading and any other required customs documentation. The term “consignor” is typically used in the context of commercial shipping, where a business is sending products to customers or suppliers. However, individuals can also act as consignors if they are shipping items, such as personal belongings or gifts to family and friends. It is important for the consignor to select a reliable and reputable transport provider to ensure that the goods are delivered safely and on time.
