Logistics Glossary:
Drop Shipment
Drop shipment (direct shipment) means that goods are sent directly from the supplier to the end customer, without the retailer storing or shipping the products themselves. Retailers benefit from reduced capital commitment and logistics effort, but smooth coordination with the supplier is essential.
