What is a reconsignment?

A reconsignment is the term used when a shipment that is already in transit requires the delivery address to change. There is an additional fee when this is required. The fees are typically calculated based on rating the shipment from the pick-up address to the point or location at which the shipment is able to be stopped Plus the rate from the point or location the shipment was stopped to the new delivery address. Depending on where the shipment is these fees can be high. In addition to the freight rates covering the added distances, there are also administrative fees to relabel the shipment and in cases where the shipment is an international shipment and it needs to be sent to another country, there could be custom entry fees to report the re-export of the shipment.
