# What does To-Pay mean in logistics?

Short answer

A consignment for which the consignee pays the freight at the time of delivery.

Common in Indian PTL for trade between dealers and small businesses. If the consignee refuses to pay or take delivery, the goods are held and the consignor becomes liable for freight and charges. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
