Partial delivery
What is a partial delivery?
A partial delivery refers to a shipment in which only part of a customer's order is delivered initially, while the remaining items are sent in one or more subsequent shipments.
Partial delivery in eCommerce
In eCommerce, partial deliveries occur when some items in an order are temporarily out of stock, stored in different warehouses, or have varying preparation times. They help prevent unnecessary delays by allowing in-stock items to be shipped immediately. With everstox, partial deliveries are managed across multiple warehouse locations. Orders are split smartly based on product availability, location, and service level – and all shipments are fully tracked through the platform.
Example of a partial delivery
A customer orders four items from a D2C fashion brand. Two items are available at the German warehouse and are shipped the same day. The other two items follow a few days later from another location – with separate tracking links, all managed via everstox.
