Consignee

A consignee is the person or organization designated to receive goods or shipments from a supplier or carrier. They are the intended recipient of the delivery, often specified in shipping documents like a bill of lading. The consignee is responsible for accepting the delivery, checking the goods for damage or discrepancies, and arranging for their further transport or use. Essentially, the consignee is the final recipient in the logistics chain, ensuring the goods reach the correct person or entity for their intended purpose.
