What Is Blind Shipping?

Shippers send a blind shipment when a third party handles the warehousing and delivery of the product. The shipper does not want the end customer to know that a third party is involved. The bill of lading (BOL) will show the shipper’s name and address rather than the third party’s. Shipping blind is important to some companies.

Why Use Blind Shipping?

Let’s say you license your salad dressings to other companies. They receive the ingredients and then mix and bottle them before selling them to their own customers. You don’t stock the ingredients in your own place of business and don’t want to mess with the shipping. You have the wholesaler of these ingredients ship them directly to your licensee.

By using blind shipments, you keep the licensee in the dark about the wholesaler’s name and address, so you don’t have to worry about them cutting you out and going directly to the distributor.

Is There an Extra Cost?

Depending on the level of service, the carrier may assess a fee for each blind shipment. The consignee or paying party will be assessed additional accessorials, such as re-labeling.

Do You Need a Double-blind Shipment?

When the shipper is blind to the end customer’s address, the shipment is considered double-blind. Many Companies In this scenario, where the shipper and the end customer are the third party’s clients, the origin, location, and destination are unknown to any side but the third party. The third party or distributor will ship double-blind when they do not want the shipper to obtain the contact information for the end customer (consignee). If you can utilize or are interested in setting up blind shipping for your company, contact a FreightCenter Agent at 800.716.7608.

How Is Blind Shipping Different From Drop Shipping?

Blind shipping and drop shipping are similar in the following ways:

  • The seller (shipper) does not want to warehouse or store inventory of their product
  • The seller also does not want to manage order shipping and handling.
  • The order details are sent to the manufacturer or a distributor (third-party company like Amazon®).

But blind shipping differs from drop shipping in that in blind shipping the third-party warehouse or distributor is not mentioned on the shipping documents for business reasons, and that’s a very big difference.

Blind Shipping FAQs

Q. What is blind shipping?

A. Blind shipping, also known as drop shipping or shipperless shipping, is a method where the shipper’s identity and contact information are kept confidential from the recipient. Instead, the goods are shipped directly from the manufacturer or supplier to the end customer, creating a seamless and discreet delivery process.

Q. How does blind shipping work?

A. In blind shipping, the shipper arranges for the goods to be shipped directly to the end customer without revealing their identity. The supplier or manufacturer labels the shipment with the recipient’s address and contact information, ensuring the customer receives the package without any reference to the original shipper.

Q. What are the benefits of blind shipping?

A. Blind shipping offers several benefits, including enhanced privacy and confidentiality for the shipper and the recipient. It allows businesses to maintain anonymity and protect sensitive information such as pricing and supplier relationships. Additionally, blind shipping can streamline the delivery process and reduce shipping costs by eliminating the need for intermediate handling.

Q. What is double-blind shipping?

A. Double-blind shipping is a variation of blind shipping where the shipper and recipient’s identities are kept confidential. In this method, the goods are shipped from a third-party intermediary or fulfillment center, further obscuring the shipment’s origin. Double-blind shipping is often used in sensitive or confidential transactions requiring maximum privacy.
