What is Shipping?

Shipping is the physical movement of goods from one location to another, such as from the warehouse to the client. A shipping or logistics company will handle the shipment process after the goods have been manufactured and packed.

Receiving, processing, and fulfilling an order are the three stages of the shipping process. These stages influence how fast and accurately you can prepare a customer order and dispatch it to its final destination.
