Definition
Individuals who keep records of all outgoing shipments and package merchandise or materials for shipping. They prepare shipping documents and mailing labels and make sure that orders have been filled correctly. They record items taken from inventory and note when orders were filled. Sometimes they fill the order themselves, obtaining merchandise from the stockroom, noting when inventories run low and wrapping or packing the goods in shipping containers. They address and label packages, look up and compute freight or postal rates and record the weight and cost of each shipment. Once a shipment is checked and ready to go, shipping clerks may move the goods from the plant (sometimes by forklift) to the shipping dock and direct its loading.
