The consignor and consignee are terms which are commonly used in the trading and transport sector. The consignor is the sender of goods and the consignee is the receiver of the goods (this can be the buyer or their agent).
In a consignment, the receiver of the goods is termed as the consignee. A consignee is only a receiver and not the owner of the goods. The ownership is transferred only when the consignee has paid the consignor, in full, for the goods. In most cases, a consignee is only an agent receiving the goods from the consignor. It is important to remember that the person who receives the goods in a consignment is always a consignee. Whether he is the buyer or an agent receiving the goods with the intention of selling is of no concern to the carrier who enters his name as the consignee in the documents pertaining to consignment.
