what is blind shipping

Blind shipping is a type of shipping method that is used in different contexts, such as dropshipping, LTL shipments, and other types of shipments. The main idea behind blind shipping is to keep the identity of the supplier or shipper anonymous from the customer or consignee. This is done to protect the suppliers or shipper's information from competitors or to maintain the role of the middleman. Blind shipping can also be used to conceal if a product or item was shipped from third-party vendors. In blind shipping, a third party is usually involved in booking and controlling the movement of the freight. To achieve the blind shipment, the third-party vendor's information is removed from the shipping label and replaced with the seller's information. Blind shipping has several benefits, such as protecting the supplier's or shipper's information, reducing the chance of competitors finding out what supplier you work with, and encouraging customers to order from you again.
