What is another word for shippers?
Pronunciation: [ʃˈɪpəz] (IPA) 
Shippers can be divided into two categories, carriers who transport goods and shippers who own or sell those goods. Alternatively, shipment coordinators may be responsible for the transport of goods from one location to another. The latter may be referred to as cargo handlers, transportation planners, or freight forwarders. Other synonyms for shippers include consignors, dispatchers, and cargo owners. In some cases, retailers or manufacturers may act as shippers when they transport their own products from the production site to the customer. Despite the variety of names, all shippers share the common goal of ensuring goods reach their destination safely and efficiently.
