consignment
Delivered merchandise lot
Consignment is sending goods somewhere, especially for sale or delivery.
In retail, goods sold on consignment remain the property of the supplier until sold—the shop takes a cut only after a sale occurs.
A consignment is also the batch of goods itself: a consignment of leather goods from Italy.
Consignment shops sell secondhand items this way.
