Blind Shipping

Blind Shipping is a logistics practice where the shipper and the consignee remain unaware of each other’s identities, facilitated by a third-party logistics provider to ensure confidentiality.

In this process, the intermediary manages the shipment, preventing the supplier and recipient from accessing each other’s details. This method is commonly used to protect business relationships, avoid direct communication, and maintain the privacy of supply chain operations.

Blind shipping is frequently utilized in drop shipping or when resellers and distributors wish to keep their suppliers and end customers anonymous.

To successfully implement blind shipping, clear documentation and effective communication with the logistics provider are essential. This approach strengthens business strategies and protects competitive advantages.
