Direct shipment is a logistics distribution method in which goods are transported directly from the manufacturer, supplier, or seller to the end customer without passing through intermediate storage facilities, distribution centers, or intermediary handlers such as wholesalers or retailers. This streamlined approach eliminates traditional distribution channel steps, enabling faster delivery times and reducing the number of touchpoints in the supply chain. Direct shipment is particularly valued for its ability to minimize handling costs, reduce transit times, and decrease the risk of product damage through fewer transfers.
