What does POD (proof of delivery) mean in logistics?
Short answer
The consignee’s signed and stamped acknowledgement that goods were received, usually on the LR copy, noting date, time and any shortage or damage.
Most Indian shippers pay freight only against POD. Remarks written on the POD at delivery are the main evidence for any shortage or damage claim. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
