A delivery order, or D/O, is a document or electronic instruction that authorises the release of cargo to the correct consignee, trucker, warehouse, or authorised party. It is commonly issued by a carrier, freight forwarder, NVOCC, or agent after required conditions are met, such as payment, customs clearance, or presentation of shipping documents. In logistics, the delivery order acts as permission for the terminal, depot, or warehouse to hand over the goods for final delivery or pickup. It is typically issued after the consignee has surrendered the original bill of lading and paid all freight charges.
