consignee

Read a random definition: imprisonment for debt

A quick definition of consignee:

A consignee is the person who receives goods from someone else to sell. The person who sends the goods is called the consignor. The consignee takes care of the goods and sells them, but the consignor still owns them until they are sold. After the sale, the consignee pays the consignor some of the money they made. Consignment can also mean when someone else is trusted to store goods, and the person who trusts them is the consignor, while the person who accepts the trust is the consignee.

A more thorough explanation:

A consignee is a person or entity that receives goods from a consignor for the purpose of selling them. The consignee takes care of the goods and sells them on behalf of the consignor. The consignor retains ownership of the goods until they are sold, and the consignee pays the consignor a portion of the sale proceeds.

  • When a clothing store receives merchandise from a designer to sell in their store, the store is the consignee and the designer is the consignor.
  • When a shipping company delivers a package to a specific person or business, that person or business is the consignee and the sender is the consignor.
  • When a person entrusts their belongings to a storage facility, the storage facility is the consignee and the person is the consignor.

These examples illustrate how a consignee is responsible for the care and sale of goods that belong to someone else. The consignor retains ownership until the goods are sold, and the consignee pays the consignor a portion of the sale proceeds. This arrangement allows for the consignor to distribute their goods without having to manage the sales process themselves.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
