Consignee
In a contract of carriage, the consignee is the entity who is financially responsible (the buyer) for the receipt of a shipment. Generally, but not always, the consignee is the same as the receiver.
If a sender dispatches an item to a receiver via a delivery service, the sender is the sender, the recipient is the consignee, and the deliverer is the carrier.
