Blind Shipping or Drop Shipping

With our blind shipping options, you are able to have orders sent directly to your customers with your own company’s identification.  Whenever you specify an order to be blind shipped, a custom packing slip will be included with your company’s logo, contact information, and a personalized message to your customer. The shipping label that we use will include your company’s name and address.

Blind Shipping

A Supply Chain Management Technique

Drop Shipping solves a problem for a retailer who does not want to warehouse his product.  He transfers the details of a customer order to the manufacturer, who ships directly to the customer, giving the drop shipper a commission on the sale.  The product is white labelled or the drop shipper may have made arrangements to have his own labeling applied.

Blind shippers  gain his customers through advertising on a website and may be promoting their own brand, which is just a re-labeled product.  The advantage for the manufacturer is increased sales with no extra cost for advertising.  The manufacturer may handle the re-labeling, including a custom packing slip with the retailer’s information, or the logistics company may take over that operation.

“Blind shipping” (shipping merchandise without a return address), or “private label shipping” (having merchandise shipped from the wholesaler with a return address customized to the retailer).”

Small retailers may also have a single large order shipped directly to a customer and big ticket items may be shipped directly to the customer’s site, such as construction sites, for logistics convenience.
