Delivery Order

What is a Delivery Order?

A delivery order is a document that can be issued by the owner of freight, consignee, shipper or a carrier to deliver the goods to another party. A delivery order should be differentiated from the bill of lading. The delivery order is not a negotiable document and it does not act as evidence or receipt of goods.
