What does Delivery Time mean?

Delivery Time refers to the period within which a carrier is expected to deliver goods to the consignee or recipient after they have been collected from the shipper or the point of origin. The delivery time is an essential aspect of the transportation service and is usually specified in the shipping contract or agreement. It may vary based on the shipping mode (e.g., air, sea, road, rail), the distance of transportation, the location of the consignee, and any specific delivery requirements. Meeting the agreed-upon delivery time is crucial for both shippers and consignees to plan and manage their inventory, production schedules, and customer expectations.
