A consignment agreement is where one party (the 'consignor') supplies goods to another party (the 'consignee') to sell those goods. The consignor will retain ownership of the goods until they are sold, despite the consignee possessing the goods.
A document that shows the details of goods that have been sent from a seller to a buyer, and that travels with the goods: rail/air/road consignment note.
Some types of product are commonly sold through consignment. These include clothing, athletic equipment, furniture, musical instruments, art, and jewelry. For example, an artist might have five large pieces of artwork to sell but has no place to showcase the work for prospective buyers.
It serves as proof that a contract for carriage has been concluded and describes its content. It also serves as a receipt when goods are picked up from the shipper and delivered to the recipient.
Here's how a typical consignment arrangement works: You bring your items to a consignment store. The store agrees to sell it on your behalf. You both sign an agreement outlining the terms of the sale.
The consignment note acts as a legal contract between the shipper, the carrier and the consignee, setting out the terms and conditions of carriage. This includes details on the type of goods, the place of pickup and delivery, and any special instructions for the shipment.
While rates will vary from one consignment agreement to another, the industry average is around 60% for the product owner/maker and 40% for the shop owner. Keep in mind that it is possible for the consignor to negotiate even more favorable terms than those outlined above.
How to Write a Consignment Agreement Parties Involved: Names and contact information of the consignor and the consignee. Consigned Goods: Detailed description of the goods being consigned, including quantities and specifications. Consignment Period: Duration of the consignment arrangement.
