What "Drop Off" Means in Shipping?
“Drop off” means like you’re the one bringing your parcel to the courier branch or warehouse, instead of waiting them to come to your house or office to collect your parcel
For example:
You get your parcel ready, stick on the clear AWB, and go to a nearby drop-off point—like a courier branch or partner store—to hand it over. No need to wait at home for a pickup!
