consignments
Goods being shipped
Consignments are goods or batches of items sent or delivered to someone, typically for sale, storage, or transport.
The term appears most often in commercial contexts where merchandise is shipped to a retailer or agent who will sell it on behalf of the original owner.
The warehouse received three consignments of electronics this week.
Items sold on consignment remain the property of the sender until purchased by an end buyer, with the seller taking a commission from the sale.
