What does Late Shipment mean?

A late shipment is a shipment that has not been delivered on or before the expected delivery date. This can be due to a variety of factors, including delays in transit, customs clearance issues, or incorrect address information. Late shipments can have significant consequences for both the shipper and the recipient, including additional costs, missed deadlines, and damage to business relationships. To mitigate the risk of late shipments, many shippers and carriers use tracking systems to monitor the progress of shipments and provide real-time updates to customers.
