A suit shipment by air travels on an air waybill (AWB) and a sea shipment on a bill of lading (B/L): the AWB is a non-negotiable receipt and contract of carriage that is not a document of title, while a bill of lading also serves as a document of title — so ask which one your order will travel on, whose name is the consignee, and the document number as soon as the goods are handed over. According to Wikipedia's air waybill entry, AWB numbers have eleven digits and the document is issued in eight copies, the first three being originals; a bill of lading acknowledges receipt of cargo, evidences the contract of carriage and serves as a document of title.

Which document fits which shipment?
- Air waybill (AWB): Air freight and many courier-type air shipments — Track with the 11-digit AWB number
- Bill of lading (B/L): Sea freight, typical for larger bulk orders — Ask for the B/L number and the container number
- Consignee: The company that receives the goods — Should match the buyer named on your PO
- Trade term: The Incoterms rule on your order — Decides who books the carrier and receives the document
What should you agree before the goods leave?
- The mode (air or sea) and who books it under your trade term.
- The consignee and notify party exactly as on your purchase order.
- That the document number is sent on the order thread on the day of handover, with the packing list.
Does the document date relate to the production clock?
No. Production (14–21 days after sample approval) ends before the transport document exists; transit and customs come after. Production days are not delivery days. On bulk from 50 per style, the mode often decides more of the delivery date than the production window does.
"When your order is handed over, we send the transport document number on the order thread. Tell us on WhatsApp +65 8013 8838 the consignee exactly as on your PO. Production 14–21 days · production is not delivery."
