Shipper's reference什麼意思

"Shipper's reference" is a term used in the context of shipping and logistics. It refers to a unique identifier or code assigned by the shipper (the person or company sending the goods) to a particular shipment for tracking and identification purposes.

The shipper's reference can be any combination of letters and numbers that the shipper chooses, and it is used to distinguish one shipment from another. It can be used by the shipper to track the progress of the shipment, and it may also be provided to the carrier (the company responsible for transporting the goods) and other parties involved in the shipping process.

The shipper's reference is different from the tracking number assigned by the carrier to the shipment. The tracking number is a unique identifier assigned by the carrier and is used to track the shipment through the carrier's system. The shipper's reference is an additional identifier that the shipper can use to track the shipment and to refer to it in communications with the carrier and other parties involved in the shipping process.
