What does Split Delivery mean?

Split delivery or shipping is a logistics method for splitting a purchase order into multiple shipments.

Each shipment contains a portion of the order’s quantity, and the price is usually calculated per shipment. This method allows for faster delivery times and helps to avoid delays in the delivery of an entire order due to issues with a specific product or a shipping location. Splitting a shipment can also reduce shipping costs, allowing for more efficient routing and better use of available carrier capacity. In addition, it can help to optimise inventory management, as it allows for more accurate tracking of the delivery of individual products within an order.
